    We describe the first clinical case of contact lens related corneal ulcer caused by Elizabethkingia meningosepticaregistered in Southeast Asia. A 20-year-old female student who wasa regular soft contact lens wearer, presented with pain, photophobia and blurring of vision of the right eye for 3 days. On slit lamp examination, there was a small paracentral anterior stromal infiltrate with an overlying epithelial defect. Microbiological cultures from corneal scrapings, contact lens and its casing were positive for E.meningoseptica. Due to high likelihood of contact lens contamination causing keratitis, topical fortified gentamicin0.9% and ceftazidime 5% were administered empirically. Topical vancomycin 5% was later added tailoring to the culture and sensitivity of the organism. After 8 weeks of treatment, the keratitis subsided and corneal epithelial defect completely healed with residual corneal opacity. Even though uncommon, contact lens related E.meningosepticakeratitis can occur in healthy immunocompetent individuals with no ocular comorbidities.

    Optic glioma (OPG) accounts for 4-8% of all brain tumors in children. En-block removal of intraorbital tumor is recommended in cases with disfiguring exophthalmos and impaired vision. Surgical resection of intraorbital optic nerve (ON) poses the risks of permanent ptosis and globe atrophy. We present here the case of a 4-year-old boy with exophthalmos and near blindness due to an intraorbital OPG. Despite chemotherapy he showed progressive exophthalmos and vision loss. Bony orbital decompression with ON transection temporally reduced his exophthalmos. OPG resection was required later for recurrence of his exophthalmos secondary to tumor progression. Post operatively, he had preserved oculomotor nerve functions but developed globe ischemia. Unusually, his ischemic globe caused him to have pain and severe photophobia, which later lead to enucleation. Photophobia has been reported in blind patients. Animal models and MRI functional imaging showed activation of trigeminal pathway during photophobia in completely transected ON. However, the exact neuro-ophthalmology pathway requires further study.

    A 5-year-old boy presented with right eye pain associated with tearing and photophobia of 1-day duration. He gave a history of playing with a river crab when suddenly the crab clamped his fingers. He attempted to fling the crab off, but the crab flew and hit his right eye. Ocular examination revealed a right eye corneal ulcer with clumps of fibrin located beneath the corneal ulcer and 1.6 mm level of hypopyon. At presentation, the Seidel test was negative, with a deep anterior chamber. Culture from the corneal scrapping specimen grew Citrobacter diversus and Proteus vulgaris, and the boy was treated with topical gentamicin and ceftazidime eyedrops. Fibrin clumps beneath the corneal ulcer subsequently dislodged, and revealed a full-thickness corneal laceration wound with a positive Seidel test and shallow anterior chamber. The patient underwent emergency corneal toileting and suturing. Postoperatively, he was treated with oral ciprofloxacin 250 mg 12-hourly for 1 week, topical gentamicin, ceftazidime, and dexamethasone eyedrops for 4 weeks. Right eye vision improved to 6/9 and 6/6 with pinhole at the 2-week follow-up following corneal suture removal.
