    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 The corneal endothelial monolayer and associated Descemet's membrane (DM) complex is a unique structure that plays an essential role in corneal function. Endothelial cells are neural crest derived cells that rest on a special extracellular matrix and play a major role in maintaining stromal hydration within a narrow physiologic range necessary for clear vision. A number of diseases affect the endothelial cells and DM complex and can impair corneal function and vision. This review addresses different human corneal endothelial diseases characterized by loss of endothelial function including: Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD), posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy (PPCD), congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED), bullous keratopathy, iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome, post-traumatic fibrous downgrowth, glaucoma and diabetes mellitus.

    Abstract As cancer treatment evolves in the era of precision oncology, molecularly targeted agents (MTAs) have become frontline therapy for many cancers. MTAs are biologically targeted and thought to have less off-target toxicity; however, the eye is particularly susceptible to off-target toxicities given its unique microenvironment. In this review, we present commonly used FDA-approved MTAs, any associated ocular toxicities and review the mechanisms, frequency, severity, and management. Increased awareness and communication between clinicians caring for cancer patients is needed for individualized risk assessment, earlier diagnosis, and mitigation of ocular toxicities.

    Abstract Purpose: To determine if a structured surgical wet laboratory curriculum for ophthalmology residents reduced the rate of posterior capsule rupture (PCR) in phacoemulsification cataract surgery.
    Setting: James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital, Tampa, FL.
    Design: Retrospective cohort study.
    Methods: The study assessed resident-performed phacoemulsification cataract cases from 2011 to 2017, after the creation of a wet laboratory course. Primary outcome measure was PCR. If present, timing of complication, dropped lens fragments, and the need for anterior vitrectomies were noted. Self-reported rates of PCR prior to institution of a wet laboratory course (2010–2011) were compared with cases done by residents who completed the course (2011–2017).
    Results: A total of 3,445 cases were reviewed of which 2.44% (84 cases) noted PCR. Of these, 19% (16) had dropped lens fragments, and 60.7% (51) required anterior vitrectomy. Sixty-nine cases documented timing of PCR with the majority, 58%, occurring during phacoemulsification. When comparing rates of PCR in cases done prior to the presence of a wet laboratory course versus after, there was a significant reduction observed (5.20% before vs. 2.44% after).
    Conclusion: In the presence of a wet laboratory curriculum, the rate of PCR decreased dramatically. The average rate was lower than those reported at other training programs (2.6–9.9%). Most PCR occurred during phacoemulsification, suggesting need for further focused instruction in this step.

    Abstract Purpose: To emphasize the importance of staging ocular surface squamous neoplasia when contemplating use of topical interferon alpha-2b alone.
    Cases: Two patients with 360 degrees of limbal involvement.
    Results: Two patients with in situ squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva and clinical involvement of the entire limbus were treated with topical interferon alpha-2b. Thorough examination and multiple biopsies excluded invasive disease. The patients had complete response to therapy.
    Conclusion: Widespread intraepithelial squamous neoplasia involving the entire limbus can be successfully treated with topical therapies. Biopsy plays a role in excluding invasive disease. Interferon alpha-2b is a preferable agent to start with because it is well tolerated. Since long-term risks of recurrence are unknown, appropriate monitoring is essential.

    Abstract A 63 year old woman with surgically controlled primary open-angle glaucoma developed sudden visual field deterioration and subjective visual loss despite stable intraocular pressure in both eyes. An extensive systemic workup was performed which revealed a diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. Further work-up should be considered when the extent of a patient's vision changes is not consistent with a known preexisting disease such as glaucoma.

    Abstract Purpose: To heighten awareness of occult fungal scleritis.
    Method: Case report and review of the literature.
    Results: A 73-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus was diagnosed for 3 months with immune-mediated scleritis and subsequently treated with corticosteroids. On referral, the patient had a scleral nodule with contiguous corneal infiltrate and hypopyon. Culture grew
    Conclusion: Fungal scleritis can develop in persons without a history of foreign body injury, minor trauma, or evidence of endogenous fungemia. A high index of suspicion for infectious scleritis must be maintained in persons with presumed immune-mediated scleritis who fail to respond to conventional therapy, particularly if they present with decreased visual acuity.
