Anterior segment ischemia following scleral buckle surgery: The forgotten enemy.

Anterior segment ischemia (ASI) is a rare, almost forgotten complication of scleral buckle (SB) surgery. The course varies from mild self-limited to severe type causing significant vision loss. A number of local and systemic factors can precipitate ASI.

Challenging Case of Postoperative Endophthalmitis.

To describe a case of postoperative endophthalmitis that proved to be challenging. A 64-year-old woman presented with a clinical picture of postoperative endophthalmitis, which was managed by vitrectomy with intraocular lens explantation. , sensitive to amikacin, cotrimoxazole (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole), and ciprofloxacin, was isolated in culture.

Clinical Profile and Ocular Morbidities in Patients with Both Diabetic Retinopathy and Uveitis.

Purpose: To describe the clinical profile and complications of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and uveitis in patients with coexisting conditions and to derive associations based on site of primary inflammation, stage of DR, and complications of each.

Design: Single-center, cross-sectional observational study.

Participants: Sixty-six patients with coexisting DR and uveitis.

Polymerase chain reaction confirmed mycobacterium tuberculosis intermediate uveitis - analysis of 22 eyes of 14 cases from a tertiary care centre in South India: a retrospective study.

Background: To report the role of Polymerase Chain Reaction in confirming the diagnosis of presumed Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB) Intermediate Uveitis.

Method: Retrospective analysis of 22 eyes of 14 cases of presumed tubercular intermediate uveitis wherein intraocular fluid was tested for MTB DNA by Nested & Real-time PCR, based on clinical suspicion of tubercular aetiology. QuantiFERON TB gold test and High-Resolution CT Chest were done.

A case of primary vasoproliferative tumor with full-thickness macular hole.

A 53-year-old female presented with defective vision in the left eye of one week duration with a best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 6/9. Fundus examination showed a primary retinal vasoproliferative tumor (RVPT) at the inferotemporal quadrant and a small full-thickness macular hole (MH). The patient underwent cryotherapy for RVPT, followed later by vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade.

Retinal Pigment Epithelium Adenoma and Adenocarcinoma: A Review.

Adenoma and adenocarcinoma of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) are rare intraocular tumours that are often misdiagnosed as posterior uveal melanoma or other simulating lesions. It is important to be able to differentiate these tumours from melanoma for 3 reasons. First, an inability to rule out melanoma often tilts the management towards enucleation.

Aerosol containment box for laser treatment of retinopathy of prematurity in COVID-19 pandemic.

Type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) requires emergency intervention and laser is an established modality of treatment. Laser treatment for ROP under topical anesthesia can be considered as an aerosol-generating procedure due to crying that puts health care workers at high risk of COVID-19 transmission. Aerosol containment box (ACB) is known to minimize aerosol transmission and there are reports of ROP laser done through incubator.

L265P mutation in intraocular lymphoma: A potential diagnostic marker.

Purpose: Vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) is the most common intraocular lymphoma (IOL). This can be either primary or secondary to the central nervous system lymphoma. The diagnosis of primary intraocular lymphoma (PIOL) currently relies on clinical diagnosis and cytological analysis of the vitreous or subretinal biopsy.
