Glaucoma Prevalence and Glaucoma Surgical Considerations in Prosthetic Replacement of the Ocular Surface Ecosystem Device Use
Conclusions: Patients fitted with Prosthetic Replacement of the Ocular Surface Ecosystem devices at WCM had a higher prevalence of glaucoma than in the general population. Among patients with incisional glaucoma surgery, PROSE device fitting was challenging, with a 40% failure rate. (Source: Eye and Contact Lens: Science and Clinical Practice)

Contact Lens Prescribing Trends for Keratoconus at an Academic Medical Center: Increased Utilization of Scleral Lenses for Severe Disease
Objectives: To describe contact lens prescription trends for patients with keratoconus. Methods: Demographics, corneal curvature, visual acuity, and type of contact lens prescribed were reviewed for all patients with keratoconus evaluated in the contact lens service in 2010 and 2020. Results: There were 292 patients in 2010 and 217 in 2020. In 2010, 69% were using corneal gas-permeable lenses (GP), 16% soft toric, 13% hybrid, and 2% soft sphere with no scleral lens (SL). In 2020, 60% were using corneal GP, 22% SL, 12% soft toric, 5% hybrid, and 1% soft sphere. Mean log of minimum angle of resolution visua...

Peripheral Hypertrophic Subepithelial Corneal Degeneration on a Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis Flap
We describe the first reported case of a patient developing peripheral hypertrophic subepithelial corneal degeneration (PHSCD) in the setting of previous femtosecond laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Superficial keratectomy was performed successfully with the complete restoration of the visual acuity, no LASIK flap complications, and no recurrence of PHSCD at 1-year follow-up. Our case indicates that superficial keratectomy can be a safe and effective treatment for PHSCD in the setting of LASIK and raises awareness of the possibility of PHSCD developing in eyes that have undergone prior LASIK.

Orthokeratology Lenses Versus Administration of 0.01% Atropine Eye Drops for Axial Length Elongation in Children With Myopic Anisometropia
Conclusions: In myopic anisometropic children, AL differences between 2 eyes decrease by wearing OK lenses but do not change after administration of 0.01% atropine eye drops. The increased effect of OK lenses, but not 0.01% atropine, in reducing axial elongation at 1 year in the eye with higher SER in anisometropic children warrants further investigation.

Evaluation of Visual Outcome of 2 Phakic Posterior Chamber Implantable Lenses in High Myopia: A Comparative Study
Conclusion: Acrylic phakic lens can be considered as a suitable alternative to collamer lens for refractive correction of high myopia. The collamer lenses showed slight superiority in some qualitative visual parameters; however, collamer lenses do not present with subjective complaints in the patients.

Long-term Outcomes of Fibrin Glue–Assisted Intrascleral Haptic Fixation of Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lenses in Children
Conclusions: Fibrin glue–assisted intrascleral haptic fixation of a PCIOL is a safe and effective method to manage aphakia with inadequate capsular support in children. (Source: Eye and Contact Lens: Science and Clinical Practice)

Corneal Structural Changes in Congenital Glaucoma
Conclusion: Multiple measurable corneal structural differences exist between congenital glaucoma and control eyes, and between primary and secondary congenital glaucoma, including but not limited to corneal width and thickness. The structural differences can be quantified from UBM image analysis. Further studies are needed to determine whether corneal features associated with glaucoma can be used to diagnose or monitor progression of congenital glaucoma.

Thin-Flap Laser In Situ Keratomileusis-Associated Dry Eye: A Comparative Study Between Femtosecond Laser and Mechanical Microkeratome–Assisted Laser In Situ Keratomileusis
Objective: To assess and compare postlaser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) dry eye after LASIK with planned thin flaps created by a femtosecond laser (FS) and mechanical microkeratome (MK). Methods: Patients were stratified according to the flap creation technique into FS and MK groups with planned 100 μm flap thickness in all eyes. Dry eye parameters including tear film break-up time (TBUT), Schirmer I test, ocular surface disease index (OSDI), and lower tear meniscus height and area (tear meniscus height [TMH] and tear meniscus area [TMA]) were assessed before surgery and at 3 and 6 months after surgery.

Surgical Techniques and Adjuvants for the Management of Pterygium
Conclusions: Current evidence supports pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft fixation using fibrin glue, followed by patching until the first postoperative visit. Surgical adjuvants and postoperative use of artificial tears and topical cyclosporine 0.05% may further reduce recurrence. Postoperative use of topical steroids is highly variable because there is no consensus regarding the optimal dose, frequency, and duration of treatment.

Piggyback Photochromic Contact Lens for Visual Rehabilitation and Photophobia Management in Traumatic Aniridia
We report herein a case of fitting with a photochromic silicone hydrogel contact lens under a rigid gas-permeable lens (piggyback system) for photophobia and low vision correction after traumatic aniridia and aphakia. A 40-year-old woman was referred to our practice for contact lens fitting in her right eye, which was left aphakic after an open globe injury. She also presented traumatic aniridia in the right eye, and her left eye had been previously eviscerated. A successful fitting was obtained with a photochromic silicone hydrogel (senofilcon A) contact lens, with a Dk/t of 121 × 10−9, under an aspheric design, +13.00...
