In India, an estimated 50% of tuberculosis (TB) patients are diagnosed and managed by private providers (PPs). However, there is limited information on treatment outcomes among those treated by PPs largely because of a lack of systems for patient follow-up and documentation of the outcomes. Tuberculosis Health Action Learning Initiative (THALI) project implemented in six districts of West Bengal, supported PPs in managing TB patients and systematically documented the TB treatment outcomes of such patients.

Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled fellow eye clinical study.
Participants: Ninety-four patients scheduled for bilateral phacoemulsification had an SE-PMMA IOL implanted in 1 eye.
Purpose: To report the outcome of phacoemulsification with toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in Alport syndrome with spontaneously ruptured capsule.
Methods: Case report and literature review.
Results: A 2.
Purpose: To report two unusual cases of epiretinal deposit post cataract surgery.
Methods: Retrospective identification of an unusual complication in patients who had cataract extraction recently with intraoperative complications.
Results: Two patients were identified with epiretinal deposits after cataract extraction where the posterior capsule barrier was breached.
