Purpose: To elucidate distance and near vision changes after intravitreal injections in center-involving diabetic macular edema (CIDME) in phakic and pseudophakic groups.

Methods: A retrospective study was done on 148 eyes (72 phakic and 76 pseudophakic) with center-involving DME. All eyes were treated with intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injection.

Background: To estimate the prevalence of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-defined diabetic macular oedema (DME) in urban South Indian population and to elucidate their associated risk factors.

Methods: Of 911 participants from the Sankara Nethralaya Diabetic Retinopathy and Molecular Genetics Study-II (SN-DREAMS-), 759 who underwent OCT were analysed. The participants underwent a comprehensive examination and retinal photography following a standard protocol for diabetic retinopathy (DR) grading.

Background: Patients with central scotoma have poor fixation stability and poor visual acuity. Acoustic biofeedback training can be an effective way to train such patients to eccentrically fixate. This study analyses the mean retinal sensitivity, saccadic velocity, and fixation stability after acoustic biofeedback training and shows correlation with age and scotoma size.

Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) enables enhanced visualization of retinal layers and delineation of structural alterations in diabetic macular edema (DME). Microperimetry (MP) is a new technique that allows fundus-related testing of local retinal sensitivity. Combination of these two techniques would enable a structure-function correlation with insights into pathomechanism of vision loss in DME.

Aim: To assess the prevalence of dental caries and dental fluorosis among 13- to 15-year-old school children in Panyam, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Materials And Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted among 202 school children and were examined for dental fluorosis and dental caries.

Results: This study shows that male students have a decrease in DMFT (Decayed, missing, filled, teeth) index and increase in Dean's index when compared with females.
