Advances in the diagnosis of herpes simplex stromal necrotising keratitis: A feasibility study on deep learning approach.

Purpose: Infectious keratitis, especially viral keratitis (VK), in resource-limited settings, can be a challenge to diagnose and carries a high risk of misdiagnosis contributing to significant ocular morbidity.

We Aimed To: employ and study the application of artificial intelligence-based deep learning (DL) algorithms to diagnose VK.

Methods: A single-center retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary care center from January 2017 to December 2019 employing DL algorithm to diagnose VK from slit-lamp (SL) photographs.

Anterior staphyloma repair following trauma and surgery - A retrospective review of techniques and outcomes over 25 years.

Purpose: To review surgical options, techniques, and outcomes of anterior staphyloma repair done following trauma and surgery.

Methods: This was a retrospective case study of patients who underwent staphyloma repair with scleral or tibial periosteal patch grafts following trauma and surgery with a minimum follow-up of 3 months postoperatively. Preoperative risk factors, choice of graft materials, surgical details, and outcomes in terms of graft uptake and tectonic integrity were analyzed.

Surgical Management of Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency.

Treatment of limbal stem cell deficiency is challenging. Multiple options can be adopted according to the underlying cause and the patient and physician preferences. Stem cell transplant is a common treatment modality and several techniques have been described with outcomes varying by the laterality of the condition.
