A 56-year-old man presented with right-eye pain for 6 months. He was a known case of chorioretinal coloboma with retinal detachment, operated on 1 year earlier. Visual acuity was 1/60, and intraocular pressure was 46 mmHg. Examination revealed an inverse hypopyon (A), with migrating into the superior angle from the pupillary area (B), and retained perfluorocarbon liquid (PFCL) bubbles inferiorly (C). The retained PFCL was likely due to intraoperative migration into the colobomatous area, leading to incomplete removal. Subsequent anterior migration of silicone oil and PFCL led to secondary glaucoma. The patient was managed with surgical removal of both silicone oil and PFCL, with improvement in intraocular pressure.

Another year, another Medicare physician payment cut.

@CMSGov has finalized cuts of up to 2.31% for 2027. The Academy is fighting back, but Congress must fix the broken payment system.

A 28-year-old man was referred for tumors in both eyes. He had a history of biopsy-proven pulmonary atypical carcinoid and underwent left pneumonectomy. On examination, a large mass arising in the ciliary body that extended to the contiguous choroid in the left eye (A) and choroidal lesions in the right eye (B) were noted. Ultrasonography (A-insert) showed a medium reflective mass with “sponge-like structure” in the left eye. Local resection of the ciliary body neoplasm revealed a pink-white soft mass (C); tumor cells were uniform in appearance with finely granular nuclear chromatin (D, ×400), and stained for synaptophysin (D-insert, ×200), supporting that this neoplasm originated in the lung.

A @museumoftheeye visitor asked: If aging eye muscles make it hard to read up close, can’t we just exercise them to make them stronger?

The short answer is no. The ciliary muscle keeps working as you age. What changes is the lens, which stiffens over time and can’t change shape s why reading up close gets harder. Nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism come mostly from the shape and length of the eye, not from weak muscles.

Eye exercises do help in some specific cases, such as problems with how the eyes work together. But no workout will replace your glasses.
