    Abstract Purpose of review: The current review covers the current literature and practice patterns of antimicrobial therapy for contact lens-related microbial keratitis (CLMK). Although the majority of corneal ulcers are bacterial, fungus and acanthamoeba are substantial contributors in CLMK and are harder to treat due to the lack of commercially available topical medications and low efficacy of available topical therapy.
    Recent findings: Topical antimicrobials remain the mainstay of therapy for corneal ulcers. Fluoroquinolones may be used as monotherapy for small, peripheral bacterial ulcers. Antibiotic resistance is a persistent problem. Fungal ulcers are less responsive to topical medications and adjunct oral or intrastromal antifungal medications may be helpful. Acanthamoeba keratitis continues to remain a therapeutic challenge but newer antifungal and antiparasitic agents may be helpful adjuncts. Other novel and innovative therapies are being studied currently and show promise.
    Summary: Contact lens-associated microbial keratitis is a significant health issue that can cause vision loss. Treatment remains a challenge but many promising diagnostics and procedures are in the pipeline and offer hope.

    Abstract Corneal transplant is a procedure that aims to replace dysfunctional corneal tissue with a transparent graft and is one of the most widely performed transplant surgeries, but its public and professional awareness is low outside of ophthalmology. Corneal tissue consists of 5 major layers that serve to maintain its structural integrity and refractive shape: the epithelium, Bowman's layer, the stroma, Descemet's membrane, and the endothelium. Failure or irreversible damage to any layer of the cornea may be an indication for corneal transplant, and variants of this procedure may be full thickness or selectively lamellar. Complications related to corneal transplantation may occur anywhere from during surgery to years afterward, including rejection, dehiscence, cataract, and glaucoma. Complications should be managed by an ophthalmologist, but other physicians should be aware of prophylactic medications. Topical immunosuppressants and steroids are effective for preventing and treating rejection episodes, whereas there is little evidence to support the use of systemic immunosuppression. Eye protection is recommended for any corneal transplant recipient. Physicians should counsel patients on corneal donation, especially if outside the United States, where donor tissue is in short supply.

    Abstract Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the status of women in academic ophthalmology in the United States and compare this to academic clinical departments in other clinical specialties.
    Methods: The study reviewed data from the American Association of Medical Colleges for the years 2003 to 2017. The number and percentage of women at different ranks, as well as number of women Chairs of clinical academic departments, were collected by specialty. The number of women residents from 2007 to 2017 was obtained from datasets published by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. Trends of the percentage of women at different ranks were compared.
    Results: The percentage of women residents in ophthalmology has remained constant at around 42%, although it has declined slightly over the last 3 years. On the other hand, the number of women faculty in academic ophthalmology has gradually increased from 24 to 34% over 15 years. This increase has largely been at the Assistant Professor rank, with only a modest increase at the Professor rank.
    Discussion: The percentage of women in ophthalmology continues to lag behind the average for all clinical departments at every level. While this gender disparity is rapidly closing for Assistant Professors and slowly closing for Associate Professors and Chairs, it is widening for Professors. This demonstrates that women in ophthalmology are making some strides but are not being promoted to Professor at the same rate as other specialties. This may be the result of explicit and implicit biases, as well as phenomena such as imposter syndrome that are more common in women.

    Abstract Netarsudil is a relatively new medication for the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension. It has been associated with red eyes and burning after instillation. Reticular epitheliopathy is a relatively rare complication of netarsudil that has been described in patients with preexisting corneal edema. We report the case of a healthy 76-year-old woman who developed reticular epitheliopathy after full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty that completely resolved following discontinuation of the medication. In cases where netarsudil is initiated for treatment of glaucoma or, off-label, endothelial dysfunction, reticular epithelial edema should be considered in patients complaining of a decline in vision and severe pain.

    Abstract To compare the functional and anatomical outcome of fluorescein angiography (FA) versus indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) guided photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of non-resolving central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR). In this prospective interventional case series, all patients with non-resolving CSCR, defined as persistent SRF involving subfoveal area for at least three months, were nonrandomly assigned to receive either FA or ICGA-guided half dose PDT. Baseline and 4 months post-treatment data including best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), the status of foveal subretinal fluid, subfoveal choroidal thickness, choroidal vascularity index, pigment epithelial detachment area, treatment and PDT spot numbers were collected. Thirty-six eyes were included; 24 received ICGA-guided and 12 received FA-guided PDT. Overall, improvement in BCVA and choroidal parameters were observed in all patients. There was no significant difference in baseline parameters as well as follow-up measurements between groups. However, the mean total energy dose and spot number in the IGCA-guided PDT were significantly higher than the FA-guided PDT group (P = 0.001). Both FA-guided and ICGA-guided half-dose PDT were effective in the treatment of non-resolving CSCR, with favorable functional and anatomical outcome. In FA group, PDT with smaller spot sizes and fewer numbers of spots were applied.

    Abstract Bacterial keratitis can cause significant morbidity from ulceration of the cornea and the resultant scarring. The use of steroids to decrease these complications is controversial with arguments for and against their use. The SCUT (Steroids for Corneal Ulcers Trial) was initiated in 2006 to definitively determine whether steroids in bacterial keratitis were beneficial or harmful. While the SCUT showed no benefit or harm overall, subgroup analyses showed that larger, more central ulcers with very poor initial visual acuity may benefit. On the other hand, Nocardia ulcers that were treated with steroids had worse outcomes. The study did have some limitations as the patient population was not typical for bacterial keratitis in the United States, and there were some criticisms of the therapeutic approach so the question is still not definitively answered.
