Corset suture: A novel technique of overlay appositional continuous sutures with air tamponade for management of large acute corneal hydrops.

Management of large acute corneal hydrops (ACH) has always been a challenge. Various medical and surgical management options have been used, such as topical steroids, cycloplegics, antiglaucoma medications, antibiotics, Descemet's membrane reposition, and pre-Descematic sutures, for the management of acute hydrops, but have shown limited benefit. We hereby describe a novel technique of appositional continuous overlay sutures along with air tamponade for surgical management of corneal edema following large ACH.

Trends in keratoplasty from central and northern India. Part II: Types of keratoplasty.

Purpose: To report the types of keratoplasty and analyze trends over a period of two decades in central and northern India.

Methods: This was a retrospective review of eye bank registries of six tertiary eye care centers located in central and north India from 2005 to 2021. The indications and various keratoplasty procedures were compared between 2005-2012 and 2013-2021 to analyze the trend.

Preferred practice patterns for keratoconus: An e-survey among Indian cornea specialists.

Purpose: This study aimed to report practice patterns in the management of keratoconus in India.

Methods: An e-survey was conducted among members of the Cornea Society of India to assess preferred practice patterns for keratoconus.

Results: Of the 912 members, 234 (25.

Trends in keratoplasty from central and Northern India. Part I: Indications for keratoplasty.

Purpose: To report the indications for keratoplasty and analyze trends in two decades in India.

Methods: This was a retrospective review of eye bank registries of six tertiary eye care centers located in central and northern India from 2005 to 2021. The patterns of corneal pathology and changes in trends were analyzed.

Subconjunctival dexamethasone-assisted conjunctival autograft harvesting versus normal saline during pterygium surgery - A randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of subconjunctival dexamethasone compared to normal saline on conjunctival autograft harvesting in patients undergoing pterygium surgery.

Methods: Fifty-two eyes of 52 patients who underwent pterygium excision combined with autologous conjunctival graft (CAG) using releasable suture were included in this prospective interventional study. The patients were randomized into two groups of 26 patients each.

Microbial keratitis and antibiotic sensitivity patterns: A retrospective analysis at a tertiary center in Central India.

Purpose: To report on the microbiological profile and antibiotic sensitivity patterns of infectious keratitis at a tertiary center in central India.

Methods: The suspected case of severe keratitis underwent microbiological culture and identification using the VITEK 2 technique. Antibiotic susceptibility for different sensitivity and resistance patterns was analyzed.

Gonioscopic angle evaluation and its correlation with graft survival and post-operative ocular hypertension in patients of Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty.

Purpose: To evaluate the gonioscopic changes in patients receiving Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) without pre-existing ocular hypertension (OHT) and to report its correlation with post-surgery OHT, graft survival, and visual outcomes.

Methods: Adult patients who underwent DSEK surgery from April 2014 to March 2018 with at least 2 years of follow-up were analyzed in this retrospective study. Demographic details, indication of DSEK, necessary anterior and posterior segment findings, and the post-DSEK OHT details were documented.

Posterior lamellar keratectomy for recalcitrant deep stromal keratitis: A case report.

Purpose: To describe a new technique for management of recalcitrant deep stromal keratitis using posterior lamellar keratectomy.

Methods: A 66-year-old pseudophakic male presented with deep stromal corneal infiltrates, extending from 2 to 4 o'clock in the vicinity of the limbus of the left eye, 3 months after phacoemulsification. The infiltrates failed to respond to empirical topical medications, anterior chamber wash and intrastromal injection.

Releasable Suture versus Autologous Blood for Pterygium Surgery using Conjunctival Autografts.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of releasable single suture (RS) for conjunctival autograft (CAG) and to compare it with sutureless gluefree (SG) technique in pterygium surgery.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective comparative study on patients with primary pterygium who underwent CAG. In 150 patients, CAG was additionally secured by a single 10-0 nylon releasable suture (RS) which was released on the first postoperative day.

Central retinal artery occlusion after Descemet membrane reposition by intracameral air: A case report.

Purpose: To report a case of central retinal artery occlusion after Descemet membrane reposition by intracameral air.

Methods: An otherwise healthy 60-year-old woman presented with white mature cataract in her left eye. Ocular exam of both eyes was within normal limits.

Management of dislocated nucleus with corneal opacity by combined deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty, pars- plana vitrectomy and phaco-fragmentation.

A 32-year-old man presented with bilateral diminution of vision for 10 years. Visual acuity was light perception in both eyes with inaccurate projection in the oculus dextrus(OD) and accurate projection in the in oculus sinister (OS). Intraocular pressure was 6 and 12 mm Hg in the OD and OS, respectively.

Releasable Single Suture for Primary Pterygium Excision With a Conjunctival Autograft.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of a releasable single suture for pterygium excision with a conjunctival autograft (CAG).

Methods: Retrospective case series at a tertiary eye care center in central India was conducted. Medical records of 150 patients, who underwent primary pterygium excision with a CAG secured by a single releasable 10-0 nylon suture in the last year were reviewed.
