Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of ultrasound cycloplasty in eyes with primary or secondary open-angle glaucoma, not amenable to adequate control of intra-ocular pressure (IOP) with medical treatment.

Methods: Prospective interventional cohort study of 28 eyes of 28 subjects in a tertiary eye care centre in India in patients with open-angle glaucoma. All enrolled eyes underwent ultrasound cycloplasty with the second-generation probe with six shots of 8 s each, operated by a single surgeon between November 2018 and January 2020.

Purpose: To comparatively evaluate in Indian eyes with coexisting cataract and primary open-angle glaucoma the outcome of mitomycin C (MMC) and Ologen implant as adjunctives in combined phacoemulsification with trabeculectomy.

Methods: Eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma that underwent trabeculectomy and phacoemulsification with IOL implantation with either MMC application or Ologen implant between June 2019 and February 2020 were followed up for 12 months. Thirty-four eyes of 34 participants were studied.

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) and its ophthalmic manifestations have been variably portrayed. We report a case of a 56-year-old female presenting with sudden-onset vision loss associated with painful extraocular muscle movements in both eyes following COVID-19. Visual acuity was counting fingers close to face.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) in India, examining patient demographics, risk factors, symptoms, and management outcomes during the pandemic's second wave.
  • Key findings revealed that 78% of patients had diabetes and a majority required oxygen support; most cases showed ROCM symptoms within 10-15 days post-COVID diagnosis.
  • Final outcomes indicated a 14% mortality rate, significantly reduced through surgical interventions, highlighting the role of corticosteroids and diabetes as major contributors to ROCM development.
