Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage.

Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) refers to the accumulation of blood in the suprachoroidal space, a relatively uncommon but significant complication that can occur spontaneously, during ophthalmic surgery, or as a consequence of ocular trauma. If left undiagnosed and untreated, SCH can lead to severe vision loss or even blindness. Therefore, it is crucial for ophthalmologists to have a thorough understanding of this complication, taking proactive measures to prevent it during surgery and being knowledgeable about effective management strategies for patients with SCH. This review article aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of SCH, covering its risk factors, diagnostic approaches, and the best practices for its management. By enhancing awareness and knowledge in this area, we can improve patient outcomes and minimize the impact of SCH in ophthalmic practice.

Decision-making in Herpes Simplex viral keratitis grafts.

Background: Keratoplasty after healed herpes simplex viral keratitis is a challenge due to problems arising preoperatively, intraoperatively, and postoperatively. Purpose: In this video, we describe the necessary challenges and the steps, which can be taken to prevent and manage those cases of healed herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis that would require a keratoplasty. Synopsis: The video talks about both the typical and atypical features of HSV keratitis, clinical examination, the scenarios which would require a keratoplasty, problems arising intraoperatively and how to manage them, and finally how to approach these high-risk grafts postoperatively. Highlights: Our video highlights the diagnosis of HSV keratitis, which cases are ready for surgery, and preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative considerations before corneal transplantation in healed HSV keratitis. Decision-making before corneal transplant in HSV grafts can become more structured if these points are followed. Video Link: https://youtu.be/xMT7Ki8vuc4.
