Corneal ectasia is a serious complication of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). We report the case of a 29-year-old man who underwent LASIK in both eyes and in whom corneal ectasia developed in the left eye 3 years after surgery. He was treated sequentially with intraocular pressure-lowering medication, intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implants, and collagen crosslinking. Vision improved and the ectasia stabilized following treatment. Combined ICRS implantation and collagen crosslinking should be considered early in the management of post-LASIK ectasia.

Computed tomography (CT) revealed an intraorbital foreign body. The hospital neurosurgeon was consulted and a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan was requested. The MRI revealed a long, linear orbital foreign body extending from the left orbit through the medial part of the temporal lobe up to the brain stem (Figure 2). When confronted with the MRI report, the patientâ€™s mother continued to deny any injury with a sharp object. Based on the general condition of the patient, absence of neurological deficits and radiological findings, the neurosurgeon did not recommend an angiography.

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.
