Lymphangiomas or lymphatic vascular malformations typically present in adolescent age groups. Adult onset lymphangiomas are extremely rare occurrences. The condition usually presents with proptosis or extraocular motility disorder. The authors here report a 50-year-old female who presented with a painless progressive proptosis of the left eye for the last 10 years. She gave history of episodes, where the globe spontaneously came out of the socket, which she used to then push back. Radiological imaging of left orbit revealed a large retrobulbar lesion occupying the whole of the left orbit with luxation of the left globe. There were no obvious bony erosions or intracranial extension. She underwent an excisional biopsy which came out to be positive for adult onset lymphatic vascular malformation. Although proptosis is a usual presenting feature of an orbital lymphatic malformation, globe luxation as a presenting complaint has never been documented.

Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) with Pawar intracystic implant placement is a simple and faster surgical option for treating epiphora. Its advantages being small length of incision(5-6mm), minimal intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, and sparing of the medial palpebral ligament with no need of creating sac and nasal mucosal flaps anastomosis. The presence of holes at upper and lower end act as extra drainage channel. This makes it superior to conventional DCR with better success rate. Herein, we report a rare complication of diplopia following implantation of Pawar’s implant. We believe in the following chain of events with anterior displacement of implant, local inflammation was evoked, resulting in subsequent scarring and medial rectus fibrosis.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic, is an ongoing pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV2). This is still a big question, whether the corona virus is present inconjunctival secretion or not? The relationship between COVID-19 and the ocular surface (conjunctiva, corneal epithelium and tear film) as a potential portal of entry and as a transmission mechanism is currently under discussion due to the high transmission rate of the disease. We did this study to identify presence of the virus at the conjunctiva and prevention of spread in the ophthalmology context. Methods: This Community based descriptive observational study was done in different hot spot areas by department of ophthalmology of government RDBP Jaipuria hospital (attached RUHS-CMS) Jaipur, Rajasthan in collaboration with CMHO Jaipur team. Total 158 subjects from the 4 hotspot areas of 18 years to 60 years age group (those who had history of contact with COVID positive patient) were included in our study and ophthalmological evaluation is done by torch light and tested for presence of SARS-Cov-2 by RT-PCR method in nasopharyngeal and conjunctival swab samples. Results: Out of total 158 subjects, in all 4 hotspot areas (A+B+C+D), 37 (23%) were symptomatic, rest 121 were asymptomatic. In hotspot area C (closed campus), out of total 37 subjects, 20 were symptomatic. At all the 4 hotspots (A+B+C+D) out of total 158 screened subjects 29 (18.35%) were positive for nasopharyngeal swab for COVID-19 but none of them had positive conjunctivalswab. At hotspot C (closed campus) out of total 37 screened subjects 16 (43.24%) were positive for nasopharyngeal swab for COVID-19 but none of them had positive conjunctival swab. Conclusions:On the basis of our study, we can conclude that risk of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is unlikely through conjunctical secretions if patient is asymptomatic.
