In the first 4 weeks of life, an ocular infection is seen in 1–12% of newborns and this clinical situation is called “ophthalmia neonatorum.” The etiology includes bacterial, viral, and chemical causes. Unfortunately, severe conjunctivitis progressing to corneal ulceration and blindness may develop in the newborns due to inadequate ocular prophylaxis. The development of these cases can be prevented by screening the mothers during pregnancy and giving treatment if necessary and/or providing the newborns with appropriate ocular prophylaxis.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate lacrimal punctum and tear meniscus using anterior segment-optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), and compare the results among dry eye syndrome (DES) patients with aqueous-deficient dry eye (ADDE) and evaporative dry eye (EDE) subtypes, and healthy individuals. Methods: We included 62 eyes of 31 ADDE subtype DES patients (Group 1), 62 eyes of 31 EDE subtype DES patients (Group 2), and 62 eyes of 31 healthy individuals (Group 3). All participants underwent a thorough ophthalmic examination, including a non-anesthetic Schirmer test for DES confirmation and detailed assessment of the cornea, as well as the conjunctiva, globe, and tear film for increased reflex secretion. The lacrimal punctum and tear meniscus were then measured using a spectral domain OCT system with high-resolution scanning software. Results: Mean ages in Groups 1, 2, and 3 were 49.06±11.24, 46.74±11.68, and 45.48±9.17 years, respectively, (P=0.420). DES patients had significantly lower non-anesthetic Schirmer test (P<0.001), outer punctal diameter (P=0.012), punctal depth (PD) (P<0.001), tear well depth (P<0.001), and punctal reserve (P<0.001) than Group 3. Group 1 had significantly lower Schirmer test (P<0.001), PD (P=0.005), and tear well depth (P=0.003) than Group 2. Tear meniscus height (P=0.463), area (P=0.891), and angle (P=0.266) did not differ significantly among groups, nor did IOP (P>0.05). Conclusion: AS-OCT could potentially be a useful optical diagnostic technique for in vivo lacrimal punctum microstructural and tear meniscus quantitative evaluation. It could also enable DES classification, leading to a better understanding of the underlying pathology and the avoidance of unnecessary tear drops.

Cataract extraction has various complications but dropped lens material should be properly managed to prevent further complications and visual impairment. We describe a cost-effective technique to deal with dropped nucleus using 26G IV cannula as a harpoon to fixate the lens. After performing complete standard vitrectomy, 26G IV cannula is inserted into the lens material and elevated up to anterior chamber for safe removal with phacoemulsification. Out technique is cost-effective and provides the maximum preventive measures for possible retinal damage and safe removal of the lens material.
