    Abstract In this report, two rare cases of large atrophic peripheral retinal holes are described. Both patients presented during a routine visit without reporting any ocular symptoms. The holes did not exhibit significant risk factors for progression to rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: No signs of posterior vitreous detachment, vitreoretinal tractions, or retinal degeneration were visible. For such asymptomatic cases, international guidelines recommend a strict follow-up schedule; however, the unusual size of the holes raised significant concerns about the management of these retinal breaks. The advantages and disadvantages of laser photo-coagulation treatment were discussed, ultimately favoring a watch-and-wait strategy.

    Abstract Diabetic retinopathy (DR) often causes a wide range of lesions in the peripheral retina, which can be undetected when using a traditional fundus camera. Widefield (WF) and Ultra-Widefield (UWF) technologies aim to significantly expand the photographable retinal field. We conducted a geometrical analysis to assess the field of view (FOV) of WF and UWF imaging, comparing it to the angular extension of the retina. For this task, we shot WF images using the Zeiss Clarus 500 fundus camera (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). Approximating the ocular bulb to an ideal sphere, the angular extension of the theoretically photographable retinal surface was 242 degrees. Performing one shot, centered on the macula, it was possible to photograph a retinal surface of ~570 mm

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to report the surgical management of an eye with a cataract and a failed deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) graft. Given the null visualization of the anterior chamber, instead of performing penetrating keratoplasty (PK) combined with open-sky extracapsular extraction, the cleavage plane of the previous DALK was used to expose the transparent complex including Dua layer (DL)-Descemet membrane (DM)-endothelium and to perform phacoemulsification in a closed system; then, PK was completed after the surgical removal of the complex DL-DM-endothelium.
    Methods: This study is a case report.
    Results: A 45-year-old woman with corneal opacity due to Acanthamoeba keratitis underwent multiple (n = 2) DALK surgeries. The second DALK graft underwent failure, with the development of severe corneal edema; a dense opacity of the lens was also present. The patient was scheduled for combined PK and cataract surgery. Because the cornea was too opaque to allow closed-system cataract surgery, a partial trephination was performed with the purpose of reopening the old donor-host junction and finding the deep cleavage plane. This maneuver permitted the exposition of the complex DL-DM-endothelium that was completely transparent, thus allowing standard phacoemulsification using the phaco-chop technique. A full-thickness corneal graft was then positioned and sutured.
    Conclusions: This case confirms the toughness of the complex DL-DM-endothelium and reveals the transparency of this complex even in the presence of a failed endothelium, thus highlighting distinct advantages of our surgical approach over the conventional one involving PK combined with open-sky extracapsular extraction.

    Abstract Purpose: To report the occurrence and the outcomes of 2 cases of spontaneous extrusion of 3-piece intraocular lens (IOL) through a Gundersen conjunctival flap performed for tectonic purposes after multiple failed penetrating keratoplasties (PKs).
    Methods: A 70-year-old woman (Patient #1) with severe dry eye disease who had undergone cataract surgery with posterior chamber 3-piece IOL implantation, multiple PKs and Gundersen conjunctival flap in her left eye presented with partial extrusion of the optic and the inferior haptic of the IOL through the conjunctival flap. Inferior symblepharon and keratinization of the entire ocular surface were also present. A 64-year-old diabetic man (Patient #2) with history of cataract surgery with a posterior chamber IOL implantation, multiple PKs for keratoconus and Gunderson conjunctival flap in his right eye presented with partial extrusion of IOL optic through the conjunctival flap.
    Results: Patient #1 refused a further surgery and IOL was removed at the slit lamp. Currently, 3 months after IOL extrusion, corneal perforation self-sealed, visual acuity of light perception is maintained, and the patient does not complain any symptoms of ocular discomfort or pain. In Patient #2, tectonic PK combined with IOL removal and anterior vitrectomy was performed. Currently, 1 month postoperatively corneal graft is clear, intraocular pressure is normal, and patient's vision is counting fingers.
    Conclusions: In both cases, IOL extrusion occurred spontaneously through a Gunderson conjunctival flap. Including the underlying Tenon's capsule in the conjunctival graft could increase its tectonic support, potentially avoiding this complication.

    Abstract Since the first definition of dry eye, rapid progress has been made in this field over the past decades that has guided profound changes in the definition, classification, diagnosis and management of the disease. Although dry eye is one of the most frequently encountered ocular conditions, various "old" misconceptions persist, in particular among comprehensive ophthalmologists not specialized in ocular surface diseases. These misconceptions hamper the correct diagnosis and the proper management of dry eye in the routine clinical practice. In the present review, we described the 10 most common misconceptions related to dry eye and provided an evidence-based guide for reconsidering them using the format "false myth versus medical fact". These misconceptions concern the dry eye definition and classification (#1, #2, #3), disease physiopathology (#4), diagnosis (#5), symptoms (#6, #7) and treatment (#8, #9, #10). Nowadays, dry eye is still an under-recognized and evolving disease that poses significant clinical challenges to ophthalmologists. The two major reasons behind these challenges include the heterogeneity of the conditions that fall under the umbrella term of dry eye and the common discrepancy between signs and symptoms.
