Dry eye definition and management has seen a complete overhaul over the past two decades. With increasing life style changes the incidence of DED has exponentially increased and it’s not relevant only to the developed world anymore. The earlier thought demography of patients susceptible for dry eye has also changed considerably. In India the prevalence of dry eye ranges from 18.4% to 40.8%. This increasing incidence of DED has provided a sling shot for many pharmaceutical industry leaders to come up with novel innovative treatment methodologies for holistic management of dry eye disease. In our brief communication we look at the history of dry eye diagnosis and management and future treatment options available for treating clinicians to tackle the epidemic of DED.

Purpose: To evaluate the changes in intraocular pressure and macular thickness after Nd: Yag laser posterior capsulotomy. Methodology: This prospective study included 91 eyes of 78 patients who were diagnosed as posterior capsule opacification (PCO), following uncomplicated cataract surgery. All the patients were examined preoperatively and 1 hour post-procedure, 1 week and 4 weeks after Nd: YAG capsulotomy. IOP and macular thickness of all the patients was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry and optical coherence tomography (OCT), respectively before performing the procedure and at subsequent visits. Patients were divided into two groups based on energy used (Group I ≤50 mJ, Group II >50 mJ). None of the patients received prophylactic antiglaucoma medications either before or after the procedure. Results: There were 42 males and 36 female patients included in the study. Mean age of the patients was 53.87 ± 10.24 years (45-80 years). Mean total energy levels were 38.64±13.92 mJ in Group I and 85.76±22.10 mJ in Group II. In Group I, IOP did not increase at 1 hour postoperatively (P=0.063) and was within normal limits at 1 week and 4 weeks. In Group II, IOP increased at 1 hour postoperatively (P

Background: Radiation retinopathy (RR) can occur years after irradiation as a chronic and progressive retinal micro-angiopathy. The presentations of RR are similar to other retinal vaso-occlusive disorders like diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy. The patient was referred to us as a case of diabetic retinopathy who had received intravitreal injections for macular edema without any improvement. A thorough evaluation revealed it to be a case of Radiation retinopathy. RR treatment includes laser photocoagulation, intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) injections, intravitreal steroid injections, and surgery. Case presentation: We report a case of a 47-year-old diabetic male patient in whom RR developed following 30Gy of radiation therapy for Ethmoidal sinus carcinoma masquerading as Diabetic retinopathy. FFA was showing extensive ischemia of the retina, and OCT showing Macular edema. He received Pan retinal photocoagulation in both eyes followed by multiple intravitreal Anti-VEGF injections on a PRN basis and underwent Pars plana vitrectomy in the right eye for non-resolving vitreous hemorrhage. Conclusion: The patient's vision improved only after treating the retinal ischemia with photocoagulation and later treating the macular edema. This report emphasizes the importance of differentiating this disease entity from other vaso-occlusive retinopathy by eliciting a detailed patient history and planning further management accordingly.

Aim: To analyse the serum cortisol and serum testosterone levels in idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy. Material and methods: The prospective interventional study was conducted in the central laboratory associated with the Department of Ophthalmology, Subharti Medical College, Meerut. A study was conducted in 30 cases of CSR. The patients were divided into two groups i.e. Group A (15 patients with unilateral sudden painless loss of vision of less than one month of duration serving as cases and Group B (15 patients with no signs and symptoms serving as control). Evaluation of Macular thickness was done using OPTOVUE RTvue 100 OCT procedure. After pupil dilation, the patient is seated at the machine, asked to fixate at the internal fixation point and scan is obtained. The macular thickness map was taken to measure the thickness of macula. Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) was done, if required. Patients of both the groups underwent investigations such as dilated fundus examination, serum cortisol and serum testosterone levels. Results: Mean serum cortisol (μg/dL) among the case group was higher as compared to the control group with statistically significant difference as p

Introduction: Intravitreal injection of air was first used by Ohm in 1911 for repairing retinal detachments. Intravitreal pharmacotherapy is likely to increase as more and more agents are being developed and tested for a variety of retinal diseases. Methodology: A hospital based prospective randomised interventional study conducted on patients attending ophthalmology department of RVM Hospital from May 2019 to March 2020, where intravitreal injections of Triamcinolone acetonide (4mg/0.1 ml), Bevacizumab (1.25mg/0.05ml), Ranibizumab (0.5mg/0.05ml), Ganciclovir (2mg/0.1ml) were injected for various vitreoretinal diseases. Results: The common age group was 46-60 years in this study and the age group of 16-30 were limited in this study. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) was 148, retinal vein occlusion (RVO) 169, Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR) 114 were main indications for intravitreal injection therapy and the least being Coats disease 3, and idiopathic polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (IPCV) 3. Bevacizumab is the drug which was used excessively in this study as intravitreal injection (57.45%) followed by Ranibizumab (19.66%) and the least being Ganciclovir (10.33%). Conclusion: Intravitreal injection is a safe and efficient technique. The risk of serious vision threatening complications is very low.

Introduction: India is infamously known as the Diabetes capital of the world. The national wide prevalence of diabetes in India now is 9%. By 2030, India will have 100 million people with type 2 Diabetes. Methodology: Cross sectional observational study, Study was conducted in ophthalmology department at RVM Hospital, Siddipet District, and Telangana State. The study was conducted in April 2018 to December 2019.The Sample Size is 300. Results: 188(63%) were males and 112(37%) are females. Among both sexes, age groups between 51 to 60 years had maximum number of patients (34%).33 patients had some lid lesions, out of which 12 had stye followed by 10 had Xanthelasma Conjunctival lesions found were pterygium 13(4.33%) and conjunctivitis 6(2%).6 patients had corneal ulceration (2%), 3 had reduced corneal sensation (1.0%) while 1 patient had perforation (0.33%). 11.5% people are affected by mild NPDR within 5 years, which increases significantly to 26.6% in 10 years. Conclusion: Thus both prevalence and severity of retinopathy correlates with HbA1C levels in this study group. The most common type of cataract found was cortical type (39.13%) followed by senile posterior cortical cataract (32.60%). In general, the visual prognosis following cataract surgery in diabetic patients is favourable. The prevalence of Primary open angle glaucoma was 2.33% and 2.0% had neo-vascular glaucoma. Diabetes predisposes to infection in different body parts, and ocular structures are not an exception.

Diabetes being the greatest challenge of the century and the fact that it affects almost all of the tissues and organs in the body warrants research into the effects of diabetes on every structure. This study was designed with the aim of finding out any association between diabetes and central corneal thickness and to evaluate the effect of diabetes treatment on central corneal thickness. and non-diabetic A comparative prospective study was conducted to evaluate the effect of on CCT. A total of 84 subjects were studied which included 42 diabetics. After thorough systemic and ocular CCT was measured using ultrasound pachymeter. The study was initiated after obtaining ethical clearance from the ethical clearance committee. The collected data was analysed using SPSS software version 20.0. to bring to light the effects of diabetes on corneal thickness, which in turn might affect even the management of glaucoma. We evaluated a group of diabetics and compared them with matched controls. After conducting this study we arrived at a conclusion that central corneal thickness is increased in diabetics and that control of diabetes doesn’t have a significant effect on central corneal thickness.
