A 56-year-old male patient presented with a slow-growing, elevated, smooth, white corneal mass. The mass was excised by performing an alcohol-assisted keratoepitheliectomy and sent for histopathological examination. Subepithelially, closely packed spindle cells in "feather-stitched" or storiform pattern were seen.

Erlotinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is used in the treatment of lung adenocarcinoma where tumor cells exhibit epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. We report a case of metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with choroidal metastasis, which was the sole presenting feature and which responded to erlotinib.

- The study aimed to use anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) to analyze trabeculectomy blebs and correlate their features one month post-surgery with their functionality after six months.
- 56 eyes undergoing trabeculectomy were assessed for bleb morphology, revealing that multiform wall reflectivity with microcysts was common.
- The results indicated that 81.5% of eyes had successful bleb function at six months, and specific morphological features at one month, particularly the presence of multiform reflectivity and microcysts, were linked to a higher likelihood of success (P < 0.001).
