Preparation and uses of amniotic membrane for ocular surface reconstruction.

Background: The use of human amniotic membrane transplantation is rapidly increasing for the management of various ocular surface disorders. Despite its numerous advantages, amniotic membrane is not widely available due to the lack of awareness among ophthalmologists regarding its preparation and preservation techniques.

Purpose: To provide an instructional video demonstrating the technique of harvesting, preparation, preservation of human amniotic membrane, and its uses in the management of ocular surface diseases.

Oxaliplatin-induced papilledema: Rare case report.

Papilledema is the presence of bilateral optic disc edema in the presence of raised intracranial pressure and often is symmetric. We report a case of a 70-year-old male with rectal carcinoma on chemotherapy presented with minimal drop in visual acuity. The patient has bilateral disc edema and investigations including computed tomography and cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure were normal and no evidence of brain metastasis has been found.

Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor of the orbit in Graves' ophthalmopathy - A rare presentation.

Graves' ophthalmopathy is the most common cause of both unilateral and bilateral proptoses in adults. Peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (pPNET) is a small round cell malignant lesion of neuroectodermal origin which very rarely affects the orbit. In this case report, we have discussed about a young woman with existing Graves' ophthalmopathy who presented with worsening proptosis; computed tomography imaging revealed an irregular mass lesion in the right orbit without bone erosion.

Safety and efficacy of Aurolab aqueous drainage implant in refractory glaucoma: A prospective study.

Purpose: This study was conducted to assess the intraocular pressure (IOP) control and postoperative complications following a non-valved glaucoma drainage device (GDD) surgery in refractory glaucoma.

Methods: This was a prospective interventional study conducted on patients with glaucoma refractory to maximal medications or failed surgical treatment who underwent Aurolab aqueous drainage implant (AADI; Aurolabs, India) surgery. Primary outcome measures were IOP control, postoperative complications, and reduction in the number of antiglaucoma medications (AGM).
