Outcome of early surgery in infantile esotropia: Our experience in tertiary care hospital.

Background: Infantile esotropia is a convergent strabismus presenting before 6 months of age and is the most common strabismus disorder presenting in the ophthalmology OPD. The dilemma of whether to go for early surgery and how early has been a matter of research for the last 50 years. We describe our results of surgery in infantile esotropia at variable age groups, as well as with different reoperation rates and compare with the results in western literature.

Endogenous Nocardial Endophthalmitis in an Immunosuppressed Patient: A Serious Warning of an Underlying Life Threatening and Blinding Disorder.

Purpose: To report a case of bilateral endogenous nocardial endophthalmitis with central nervous system involvement in an immunocompromised individual with an extremely poor outcome.

Case Report: A 35-year-old man with a history of long-term, prescribed oral steroid use for membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis presented with profound bilateral vision loss. Patient's diagnosis of bilateral endogenous nocardial endophthalmitis was delayed.

Anterior segment changes on ultrasound biomicroscopy after intravitreal anti vascular endothelial growth factor injection.

Background: Intravitreal injections are standard of care today and have the potential to change the anatomy of the anterior segment of the eye. This research was undertaken to evaluate the changes in anterior segment anatomy after intravitreal anti vascular endothelial growth factor (anti VEGF) injections.

Methods: We conducted a prospective interventional case series at a quaternary care center where patients undergoing intravitreal injection had pre and post injection ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement after intravitreal anti VEGF injection of 0.
