The Emulsification of Silicone Oil 5000 cs in Patients With Retinal Detachment.

Background The emulsification of silicone oil is a significant concern for those with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) following surgery. The aim of the study was to assess the frequency of emulsification in the patients who underwent primary vitrectomy and were administered 5000 cs silicone oil. Methodology The Layton Rahmatullah Benevolent Trust in Lahore conducted an ophthalmology study from January 2022 to March 2023.

Incidence of Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment (RRD) in a Tertiary Care Center of Pakistan.

Background Regardless of the advancements in ophthalmology, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) remains a substantial issue for physicians. The present study assessed the incidence of RRD among our population. Methodology A cross-sectional study was performed at the Layton Rehmatullah Benevolent Trust (LRBT) between June 2020 and May 2021.

Risk Factors Associated With Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.

Background Even though significant improvements have been made in the field of ophthalmology, retinal detachment is still an ever-increasing issue in both developing and developed countries. The present study evaluated the risk factors of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care center between June 2020 and March 2021.

Molecular Genetic Analysis of Pakistani Families With Autosomal Recessive Congenital Cataracts by Homozygosity Screening.

Purpose: To identify the genetic origins of autosomal recessive congenital cataracts (arCC) in the Pakistani population.

Methods: Based on the hypothesis that most arCC patients in consanguineous families in the Punjab areas of Pakistan should be homozygous for causative mutations, affected individuals were screened for homozygosity of nearby highly informative microsatellite markers and then screened for pathogenic mutations by DNA sequencing. A total of 83 unmapped consanguineous families were screened for mutations in 33 known candidate genes.
