Purpose: To estimate the vitreous cavity replacement volume after pars plana vitrectomy and analyze its correlation with axial length and refractive error.
Methods: Observational cross-sectional study on 103 eyes undergoing vitrectomy. Fluid-air exchange was performed using a soft-tip cannula connected to a PVC tubing, the distal end of which opened into a 10-cc syringe without the plunger.
Background: A patient with a retained intraocular metallic foreign body post-trauma was taken up for vitrectomy and intraocular foreign body removal. Unfortunately, the intraocular magnet was not available at the moment on the table! How a little bit of creativity and innovative thought helped us tide over this crisis is the content of this video.
Purpose: To demonstrate magnetization of a metallic surgical instrument for temporary use in the event of unavailability of the intraocular magnet for intraocular foreign body removal.
Revesz syndrome is a rare telomeropathy characterized by bone marrow failure and exudative retinopathy. We report the case of a 2-year-old male child, initially treated with bilateral laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity. He developed exudative changes in the right eye, presumed to be Coats disease.

The purpose of our study is to identify various predictive factors to help in prognosticating the treatment outcomes in advanced Coats' disease in children.
Methods: This is a retrospective case series from a single tertiary eye care center of children (<18 years) diagnosed with coat's disease.
Purpose: To compare the standard and "innovative wide-field" optical coherence tomography images in assessment of vitreoretinal interface in proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Methods: Fifty consecutive eyes of 25 patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy underwent 12 × 12 mm radial swept source-optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging using standard technique and innovative wide-field (+90D) technique. The image expansion ratio was calculated using Image J software.
