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.

Subperiosteal hematoma in multiple settings
Iatrogenic choroidal neovascularization following idiopathic epiretinal membrane peel

Grand Rounds

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.
