Abstract

A 4-year-old girl presented with an enlarging, congenital, intrascleral cyst of the left eye. Intraoperative anterior segment optical coherence tomography was used to visualize and to assess the extent of the cyst, facilitating safe excision. The cyst was completely removed, and the defect was covered with an amniotic membrane graft, with a good outcome.

Video-based surgical curriculum for open-globe injury repair, I: open-globe injury

As one of the most severe forms of ocular trauma, open-globe injury (OGI) causes significant vision loss. Timely and meticulous repair of these injuries can improve patient outcomes. This video-based educational curriculum is intended to serve as a quick and efficient yet comprehensive reference for OGI repair. We hope that these video-based articles help surgeons and trainees from around the world find answers to specific surgical questions in OGI management. The curriculum has been divided into six separate review articles, each authored by a different set of authors, to facilitate a systematic and practical approach to the subject of wound types and repair techniques. The first article highlights pertinent terminology and standardized definitions for OGI trauma, which aids in communication, prognostication, and outcomes research.
