The visual damage caused by cataract cannot be recovered by visual aids and refractive surgeries. The cataract can be removed, undergoing the procedure of cataract surgery. There are many techniques being practiced for extraction of cataract including Extra-capsular cataract extraction, Phacoemulsification, Cool micro incision phacoemulsification, Laser cataract surgery (FEMTO-2). In the developing countries, phacoemulsification is the most preferred procedure. The basic principle, it uses is the ultrasonic waves which travel across the opacified lens and disperse the lens which is then easily extracted.2

The eye globe is a very specialized organ and internal carotid artery (ICA) provides blood supply of eye via ophthalmic artery which is the first intracranial branch of the ICA.1 In ICA occlusive disease (ICAOD), the blood flow in the ophthalmic artery reverses to supply the ipsilateral brain due to incomplete blood circulation at Willis polygon and this phenomenon called as “steal phenomenon”.2 Reduction in perfusion pressure of the ophthalmic artery and its branches especially central retinal artery and posterior ciliary artery, lead the decreased retinal and choroidal circulation and chronic progressive ocular ischemia.3

Glaucoma is a progressive and neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of the axons of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) at the level of the optic nerve head (ONH) and visual field (VF) loss.1,2 Although elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is considered as most important factor in the pathogenesis of glaucoma, clinical reports demonstrate that treatment strategies on lowering IOP is not alone enough to prevent glaucoma progression in all patients. Thus, neuroprotection may be crucial in the treatment of glaucoma.3−6 Neuroprotection is defined as the use of therapeutic agents to prevent, reduce, and even to reverse neuronal cell death because of a neurodegenerative disease or a traumatic or a neurotoxic injury. Recent studies demonstrated that several neuroprotective treatments have been established in some neurodegenerative diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) disease like Alzheimer’s disease (AD).7−11 Irisin is an exercise-induced, 112-amino acid glycosylated protein that is formed by the proteolytic cleavage of fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5) in muscle tissue. It has been demonstrated that irisin works in the regulation in glucose homeostasis and the convertion of white adipose tissue to brown. Elevated irisin level increase in energy metabolism, weight loss and improves glucose tolerance causes.12−14 Irisin was firstly discovered from mouse skeletal muscle, and it was shown to be present in a variety of a lot of other tissues including rectum, pericardium, intracranial artery, heart, tongue, optic nerve (ON), uvula, brain, ovary, oviduct, pituitary, seminal vesicles, adrenal gland, esophagus, vena cava, kidney, penis, retina, testis, urethra, urinary bladder, spinal cord, liver, small intestine, tonsil, thyroid, and vagina.15 It has been reported that irisin immunoreactivity is present in the neural retina and muscle fibers in the eye of porcupine.16 In another study, it has been demonstrated that irisin immunoreactivity was found in all layers of the retina excluding the outer nuclear layer and also in the cornea in hamsters.17

Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are a groups of medicines used to alter the course of rheumatological conditions. Chloroquine was first introduced as an antimalarial drug in the Second World War. In countries outside the United States, it is still primarily used as a prophylactic agent against malaria. It is also used, along with its derivatives, as DMARDs in the treatment of Amebiasis, RA and SLE. Chloroquine and its derivatives have an affinity for melanin pigment. Therefore is found is highest levels in uveal tract in the eye and skin. That is where side effect of this Chloroquine and its derivatives are highest.1 Chloroquine and its derivatives are usually administered orally. Bioavailability of HCQ is well around 74% with linear kinetics. It reaches its highest concentration in plasma in about 3 to 4 hours. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis show inverse correlation between disease activity and plasma concentration and hence absorption of HCQ. Higher absorption and concentration is found is patients with less disease activity.2−4

Advanced age related macular degeneration (AMD) is estimated to affect nearly 10 million people worldwide. Late AMD is associated with advancing age, smoking, positive family history, genetic susceptibility, high fat intake and obesity.1–4 It is predicted for advanced macular degeneration to increase in prevalence from the year 2020 to year 2040 by about 65%.1 A large percentage of that increase will be in the form of neovascular age related macular degeneration which is likely to increase in prevalence by about 47% from the year 2020 to the year 2040.2 Age related macular degeneration remains the leading cause of visual loss in people above 50 years old in industrialized countries.

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is an autoimmune mucocutaneous disorder associated with abnormalities of the basement membrane zone of skin and mucous membranes. It is characterized by blister formation in response to minor trauma to the skin and mucous membranes. Here, we present a case of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) in 4years old boy with conjunctival blister formation without eyelid or corneal involvement. He was presented with redness in right eye and active and chronic blistering skin lesions on the elbows, fingers, knees, legs, toes and back of the pinna with scarring in some areas. He had dystrophy of nails and absence of nails in some toes. The oral mucosa was normal and the patient did not have any swallowing complains or other gastrointestinal disorders. A small blister formation was noted in the superior temporal quadrant of conjunctiva in right eye with episcleral congestion. He was diagnosed as a case of autosomal dominant variant of dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DDEB), confirmed with biopsy and genetic analysis. So, ophthalmic complications are common in DDEB, but the involvement of ocular structures varies widely among different patients and different subtypes of the disease. Conjunctival blistering without eyelid or corneal disease is one of the most common ophthalmic complications. Protection of the eye from minor trauma such as rubbing may help prevent ocular complications. The major treatment modality is the use of ocular lubricants.
