A Rare Presentation of Cyclitis Induced Myopia.

Unilateral cyclitis leading to myopia is a rare and clinical relevant entity. In clinical settings, pseudomyopia is generally encountered in the form of accommodative spasm, which is always bilateral. Cyclitis due to inflammation, on the other hand, can cause pseudomyopia unilaterally and it is a very rare presentation.

Effect of Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) on Endothelial Cell Count.

Objective: To compare the change in endothelial cell count after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) versus conventional phacoemulsification.

Study Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial.

Place And Duration Of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalmology, Rawalpindi, Pakistan from January 2016 to August 2017.

Comparison of analgesic effect of preoperative topical Diclofenac versus Ketorolac on postoperative pain after Corneal Collagen Cross Linkage.

Objective: To compare post-operative pain relieving effect of topical diclofenac 0.1% versus ketorolac 0.5% in Corneal Collagen Cross Linking (CXL) for patients diagnosed with keratoconus.

Nationwide Mortality Studies To Quantify Causes Of Death: Relevant Lessons From India's Million Death Study.

Progress toward the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals requires improved information on mortality and causes of death. However, causes of many of the fifty million annual deaths in low- and middle-income countries remain unknown, as most of the deaths occur at home without medical attention. In 2001 India began the Million Death Study in 1.

Unilateral-external Ophthalmoplegia: ARare Presentation of Myasthenia Gravis.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a disease of autoimmunity with variable and diverse clinical presentations. The target tissue is neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscles, where efficient nerve impulse transmission is hampered leading to less effective muscle contraction. Patients of MG usually present with bilateral ptosis, diplopia and fatigability, which may or may not coexist with generalised weakness, dysphagia and dysarthria.

Homocystinuria (HC) and Neurofibromatosis Type-1 (NF-1): An Unusual Presentation in a Child.

Homocystinuria (HC) and neurofibromatosis type-1 (NF-1) are two genetically determined conditions with variable clinical manifestations. HC is a neurocutaneous autosomal recessive condition while NF-1 is an autosomal dominant phacomatosis. Both HC and NF-1 present with distinct systemic as well as ocular manifestations; however, vascular complications can occur in both the conditions.

Visual outcome of retinal vein occlusion in patients residing at high altitude.

Objective: To study visual outcome in patients of high altitude retinopathy presenting with retinal venous occlusion.

Methods: The randomised clinical trial study was conducted at the Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalmology, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from January 2013 to December 2015, and comprised eyes of lowlanders. Patients staying at high altitude (>8,000 feet above sea level) as part of their service duty and presented with retinal venous occlusive disease were included.

Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter on Sonography in Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension Versus Normal.

Objective: To compare the mean optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) versus normal healthy individuals using B-scan ultrasonography as diagnostic tool.

Study Design: Cross-sectional analytical study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Radiology and Imaging, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from June to December 2015.
