Objective: To review the clinical features, causative organisms, complications, and outcomes of patients with pediatric bacterial keratitis at a tertiary care eye hospital.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study at a tertiary care eye centre on clinically diagnosed pediatric patients with bacterial keratitis between 2007 and 2019. Poor outcomes were labelled if any of the following were present: final best-corrected visual acuity worse than 20/200, a drop in best-corrected visual acuity by 1 line or more, perforated corneas, endophthalmitis, and graft failure.
Purpose: To investigate the outcomes of initial-onset acute uveitis associated with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) disease that occurred during pregnancy.
Methods: This is a retrospective case series.
Results: During the period between January 2001 and December 2021, we identified 112 patients with initial-onset acute uveitis associated with VKH disease, 67 (59.
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a poorly understood condition, and its presentation can coexist with other diseases. Simultaneous IIH and Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) type 1 have never been reported to coexist in an adult patient. Herein, we report a 32-year-old obese female with a history of chronic renal failure who had a renal transplant rejection 6 years prior to presentation and was treated with oral steroids and immunosuppressive medications.

It consists of various types of tissues arising from different germinal layers, endoderm, mesoderm, and ectoderm. Ectopic ocular tissue is a rare phenomenon, with only few reported cases in other locations.

In an aphakic eye with corneal edema, performing Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) combined with implantation of intraocular lens can be a challenge. This case report describes a surgical technique for postsurgical aphakia with endothelial decompensation in a 42-year-old female with Marfan syndrome and subluxated lens. This technique comprised implanting DSAEK with fibrin glue-assisted sutureless posterior chamber intraocular lens.

This is a retrospective observational study with chart review of patients with DME including both type 1 and 2 diabetics seen between January 2015 and January 2016. Type of diabetes, diabetes duration, best-corrected visual acuity, DME pattern, central macular thickness (CMT), and stage of diabetic retinopathy.

Setting: 2 centers (university-based practice and a private practice set up).
Patients And Methods: Prospective nonrandomized study in which 74 AT LISA TRI 839MP and 8 AT LISA TORIC TRI 939MP IOLs implanted bilaterally in 41 patients following either cataract extraction or refractive lensectomy, follow-up was done at 1st, 2nd and 3rd months to assess the visual and refractive outcomes.
