A 62-year-old healthy man with left-sided headaches for 3 days and redness of the left eye for 24 hours. The best corrected visual acuity of both eyes was 10/10. The left side of the forehead showed incipient vesicles on an erythematous background (). The left eye was slightly injected. Biomicroscopic examination disclosed a large temporal corneal pseudodendrite (). Fluorescein staining under a cobalt-blue filter confirmed this pattern (). Valacyclovir associated with lubricant eyedrops was started. Follow-up examination revealed complete resolution […]

A 35-year-old man presented to the ophthalmology clinic with immediate blurry vision and central scotoma in the right eye after sustaining accidental exposure to a handheld laser pointer (power < 1 mW, wavelength 640 to 660 nm; according to the label on the device) from approximately 5 m away, for a duration that he described as 1 to 2 seconds during a PowerPoint presentation in a conference room. Visual acuity was 20/80 in the right eye and 20/20 in the […]

We present the case of an 80-year-old patient diagnosed with severe pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) in both eyes (OU), who underwent uneventful bilateral phacoemulsification with in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) implantation 10 years ago. However, 4 years postoperatively, the patient developed subluxation of the capsular bag-IOL complex in the left eye, attributable to the progressive zonular insufficiency characteristic of PEX. Consequently, the subluxated IOL was removed, and an iris-fixated lens was implanted. During follow-up, 6 years after the initial surgery, a similar […]

Corneal dystrophy is a hereditary non-inflammatory disorder in which substances accumulate in the cornea. A 32-year-old woman presented for routine ophthalmic examination. The patient has myopia of −6.25 in both eyes with best corrected visual acuity at 8/10 bilaterally. On slit-lamp examination, she was found to have crumb-like and star opacities, grey-white deposits in the anterior corrneal stroma (-). Clear areas were present between the opacities. The peripheral cornea was clear. Her best corrected visual acuity was 8/10 bilaterally. A […]

CASE DESCRIPTION An 81-year-old woman presented to our department for a routine appointment. She denied recent trauma or other ocular events. Ophthalmologic history comprises complicated phacoemulsification for LE cataract in 2009 with single-piece intraocular lens placement in the sulcus due to posterior capsule rupture. Upon examination, visual acuity was 10/10 and intraocular pressure was 10 mmHg in LE. There was anisocoria with LE > RE in photopic conditions. LE slit-lamp examination showed diffuse pigment deposition in the corneal endothelium and […]
