Interobserver variability of an open-source software for tear meniscus height measurement.
Different values of the lower tear meniscus height (TMH) can be obtained depending on the method and technique of measurement employed. The aim of this study was to analyse the interobserver variability of a method for measuring TMH by using an open source software. ⋯ This study showed a useful tool to objectively measure TMH by photography.

Case ReportsContact lens induced Pseudomonas keratitis following descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty.
To report a case of bandage contact lens induced infectious keratitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa following DSAEK. ⋯ There have been case reports suggesting a host to donor transmission of infection which manifests during the postoperative period. To the best of our knowledge there are no reports of bandage contact lens associated Pseudomonas keratitis in a case that has undergone DSAEK. The prolonged use of bandage contact lens, lens contamination, stagnation of tear film behind the lens, compromised ocular surface and post operative use of topical steroids can contribute to infectious keratitis in DSAEK cases.
