Challenging case in anterior segment surgery:

📌 Previous ocular trauma 3 years ago → Total leukoma
📌 Penetrating keratoplasty (TX) performed → Primary failure (30th postoperative day)
📌 Anterior chamber reconstruction - Repeat penetrating keratoplasty + Open-sky phacoemulsification + In-the-bag IOL implantation + Iridoplasty
📌 Patient with significant tremors

Full-thickness macular holes can develop in eyes with macular telangiectasia (MacTel) type 2, often representing a late-stage complication. Unlike idiopathic macular holes, those associated with MacTel arise from progressive neurodegeneration and Muller cell loss rather than purely vitreoretinal traction. Patients may experience sudden worsening of central vision. OCT imaging is crucial for early detection, while surgical outcomes may be less favorable compared to idiopathic cases due to the underlying disease process.

Clinical Mystery Case 🫆

A 49-year-old male, previously healthy and without any ophthalmic history, suddenly developed blurred vision.
On slit-lamp exam:
• A small layered hyphema was observed, originating from the pupillary margin.
• Intraocular pressure was slightly elevated.
• No visible iris vascular tufts or signs of neovascularization.

❓What could be the underlying cause of this spontaneous anterior chamber hemorrhage?

Progressive night blindness and peripheral visual field constriction

🩺 A 25-year-old woman of asian ethnicity presents with progressive night blindness and peripheral visual field constriction, which she first noticed in adolescence. She reports increasing difficulty driving at night and frequent stumbling in dimly lit environments. Her central vision is relatively preserved, though she complains of occasional glare and photophobia.

👁️ Dilated fundus examination reveals multiple tiny, glistening, yellow-white refractile crystalline deposits scattered in the posterior pole, particularly in the macular and perimacular regions.

💡 Given the characteristic clinical features in association with the distinctive crystalline retinal deposits, Bietti crystalline dystrophy is strongly suspected. Genetic testing subsequently identifies a mutation in the CYP4V2 gene, thereby confirming the diagnosis.

📝 Bietti crystalline dystrophy is a rare autosomal recessive retinal dystrophy caused by mutations in the CYP4V2 gene, leading to defective lipid metabolism and crystalline deposits in the retina and sometimes cornea. It usually presents in the second or third decade of life with progressive nyctalopia, peripheral visual loss, and eventual decline in central vision. There is currently no definitive treatment; management is supportive with low-vision aids, genetic counseling, and monitoring for progression. Research into gene-based therapies and lipid metabolism modulation is ongoing, but clinical application remains experimental.

Emulsified Silicone Oil Droplets – Friend or Foe?

🤔 Ever noticed how silicone oil has its own plans once it leaves the vitreous cavity?
In this case, a pseudophakic patient with a giant retinal tear required silicone oil tamponade. After removal, the emulsified droplets decided to hang out on the PCIOL.

😳 What surprised us: the oil adherent to the IOL and capsular bag was easily aspirated — way smoother than expected. No fancy tricks, just straightforward removal.
♦️Discussion
But here’s the thing — while aspiration worked perfectly this time, it raises bigger questions:
• Do emulsified droplets affect long-term IOL clarity or biocompatibility?
• Is aspiration always this effective, or do some cases require more aggressive maneuvers?
• Should we rethink our tamponade strategies in high-risk GRT cases to minimize such sequelae?

🧐 👉 What’s YOUR experience with sticky silicone on the PCIOL?
Drop your pearls (or horror stories) below ⬇️
Let’s see if the community agrees this is just a minor nuisance… or a game changer.
