The study reports a novel strategy for treating ocular hypertension and glaucoma with a drug‐free, nonsurgical procedure. The expansion of the suprachoroidal space with an in situ‐forming hyaluronic acid hydrogel administered using a microneedle reduced intraocular pressure of normotensive New Zealand white rabbits for approximately four months after a

A case of severe anterior segment toxicity secondary to high‐volume, undiluted intracameral moxifloxacin for endophthalmitis prophylaxis is reported. We examine the other reported cases of toxicity after intracameral moxifloxacin, as well as iris depigmentation and transillumination syndromes after oral and topical fluoroquinolone exposure ...

The CLASS Surgical Site Characteristics in a Clinical Grading Scale and Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography: A One-Year Follow-Up. [PDF]
Purpose. We combined a clinical grading scale and swept source anterior segment OCT to describe the successful and failed CLASS. Material and Methods. 23 patients in the successful group and 17 patients in the failed group were compared in terms of the IBAGS grades and AS‐OCT findings at one, three, and twelve months postoperatively. Results.

Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Dexamethasone Controlled Released From Anterior Suprachoroidal Polyurethane Implants on Endotoxin-Induced Uveitis in Rats. [PDF]
Targeted drug delivery to the ocular tissues remains a challenge. Biodegradable intraocular implants allow prolonged controlled release of drugs directly into the eye. In this study, we evaluated an anterior suprachoroidal polyurethane implant containing

Phthisis Bulbi in a Retinitis Pigmentosa Patient after Argus II Implantation
Purpose. To report a previously unreported complication of phthisis after Argus II prosthesis implantation in a retinitis pigmentosa (RP) patient. Case. A 61‐year‐old male with advanced RP presented to the retina clinic. The patient had a history of vitrectomy in both eyes (OU) in Cuba in 1996. Pre‐op visual acuity (VA) was no light perception (NLP) in
