A 58-year-old female presented with ocular pain and decreased visual acuity in both eye. She had received periocular acupuncture therapy 4 days earlier. Dilated fundoscopy revealed vitreous hemorrhage. B-scan ultrasonography revealed vitreous opacity. Thus, at the request of the patient, vitrectomy was performed in only the right eye, and did not performed in the left eye. Intraoperatively, we identified retinal laceration in the temporal and inferior retina. In the left eye, the sites of retinal hemorrhage were observed in the temporal and inferior retina in the fundus examination, and a barrier laser photocoagulation was performed around the lesion. At the three-month postoperative follow-up, the patient's visual acuity was 0.5 in the right eye without macular edema. In the left eye, visual acuity was 0.01 with macular edema observed on optical coherence tomography. Conclusions: Authors present a case of a patient with vitreous hemorrhage and ocular perforations caused by periocular acupuncture therapy in both eye, able to compare the results of eyes that performed vitrectomy and that did not performed vitrectomy in a same patient. The recovery of visual acuity in eye that performed vitrectomy was better than eye that did not performed vitrectomy. Therefore, we consider performing vitrectomy in patients with eye perforation.

Purpose:To compare the myopic progression before and after wearing an orthokeratology lens (OK). Methods: Twenty-six patients (49 eyes) with at least 6 months of myopia prior to OK treatment were evaluated. Changes in the spherical equivalent (SE) refractive error and axial length were compared before and after OK use. Changes in the SE and axial length were also compared between two groups according to the myopic progression before baseline: Group 1 with myopic progression < 1 D/year and Group 2 with myopic progression > 1 D/year. Results: The myopic progression rate decreased from -1.1 to -0.3 D/year after OK treatment (p < 0.001). Greater increases in axial length were observed in patients who were younger and had less myopia at baseline, a higher rate of myopia progression before baseline, and a shorter axial length at baseline (p < 0.001, p < 0.004, p < 0.007, and p < 0.001, respectively). The increase in axial length was significantly greater in the group with greater myopic progression before baseline (0.2 mm/year) than in the group with less myopic progression (0.1 mm/year) (p = 0.001). Conclusions: Myopic progression was reduced significantly after OK treatment. J Korean Ophthalmol Soc 2019;60 (7):620-626
