Corneal infiltration gradually decreased, presumably because of the systemic, topical, and subconjunctival steroids. Late complications observed in this case included a substantial decrease in cornea endothelial cell density, a corneal scar, and anterior capsular opacity.

Conjunctival cytologic changes occurred in asymptomatic contact lens wearers and were related to the duration of lens wear. For this reason, asymptomatic contact lens wearers may be followed up because of conjunctival cytologic changes.

Atropine is thought to produce the most effective cycloplegia in early childhood. Cyclopentolate and Tropicamide are the best known short acting cycloplegic agents. Phenylephrine is an adrenergic agent and has also a cycloplegic effect. In this study we compared a combination of Cyclopentolate, Tropicamide and Phenylephrine with Atropine and observed no difference between them.

Abstract. Two cases of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia endophthalmitis, a rare cause of postoperative endophthalmitis, are reported in this study. Both of the patients underwent vitreus tap and intravitreal antibiotic injection. The therapy was augmented with systemic and subconjunctival injections. The response to this therapy protocol was excellent and the final visual acuity in both of the patients was 10/10. The results are discussed and the literature, which consists of only 8 reported cases of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia endophthalmitis, is reviewed. Although endophthalmitis caused by this pathogen is a rare but important cataract surgery complication, with appropriate therapy, this clinical presentation can be cured without risk of reoccurrence.
