Assessment of precision of astigmatism measurements taken by a sweptsource optical coherence tomography biometer - IOLMaster 700.

Purpose: : To assess the repeatability of ocular measurements, particularly astigmatism, taken using the latest version of an swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) device, IOLMaster 700.

Methods: This prospective observational study done in a private eye care centre. Study included 213 eyes of 152 patients diagnosed with cataract.

Outcomes of bioptics with small-incision lenticule extraction as a sequential treatment after implantable collamer lens for management of extreme myopia.

Purpose: To study the safety and efficacy of bioptics using implantable collamer lens (ICL) followed by small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for management of extreme myopia.

Setting: Nethradhama Superspeciality Eye Hospital, Bangalore, India.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Evaluation of Scheimpflug imaging system as an added tool in improving the accuracy of reference marking (as compared to the slit lamp marking system) for toric intraocular lens implantation.

Purpose: To assess the role of Scheimpflug imaging in improving the accuracy of reference marking for toric IOL implantation.

Methods: In this prospective, randomized, clinical trial all patients with cataract and pre-existing significant regular corneal astigmatism, who required implantation of a toric IOL were included in the study, and patients with any ocular pathology or abnormality were excluded. Patients were divided into two groups: For one group of patients, Group I (GI), reference marking was finalized using slit lamp only, and for the second group, Group II (GII), after slit lamp marking, the reference marks were checked using Goniometer of Scheimpflug imaging.

A rare case of atypical sympathetic ophthalmia post therapeutic keratoplasty.

Introduction: Sympathetic ophthalmia (SO) is a rare, bilateral, diffuse granulomatous uveitis that usually occurs after open globe injury or intraocular surgery.

Methods: A patient developed SO following therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (TPK) with cataract extraction in the exciting eye following fungal keratitis. The sympathizing eye presented with only posterior segment findings (exudative retinal detachment) and responded well with oral corticosteroids.
