Ocular surface changes in patients who have undergone head and neck radiation therapy.

Purpose: Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a familiar sequelae of radiation therapy (RT) for head and neck cancers (HNC). Ocular surface changes such as DES occur due to injury to the conjunctival epithelium, goblet cells, corneal surface, lacrimal glands, and meibomian glands. This study aimed at the evaluation and early detection of changes in ocular surface parameters in patients receiving RT for extraocular HNC.

Clinical profile and visual outcome in patients with traumatic optic neuropathy.

Purpose: To analyze the visual outcome in patients with traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) with respect to different treatment modalities, to study the correlation of initial visual loss with the final visual outcome, and to find out the predictor of final visual outcome in patients with indirect TON.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 36 eyes with TON was done. Data on clinical profile, including demographics, mode of trauma, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), pupillary reflex examination, and anterior and posterior segment examination, was collected.

A cross-sectional study on the complications of inferotemporal laser peripheral iridotomy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the incidence of dysphotopsia and other associated complications after inferotemporal laser peripheral iridotomy (IT-LPI).

Methods: This is a cross-sectional study on patients who underwent IT-LPI with neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser who were followed up for a minimum of 3 months.

Results: In our study, out of a total of 116 patients, new-onset dysphotopsia was reported in 6.

Bilateral Microvascular Submandibular Gland Transfer with Implantation of Wharton's Duct in Superior Conjunctival Fornix: A Vision-Saving Procedure for Severe Dry Eye Disease.

Dry eye can initially cause mild symptoms of irritation and may rapidly progress to corneal scarring and blindness. Tear substitutes can only help for mild cases. With the advancement in microsurgical techniques, an option of transferring vascularized salivary glands has shown positive results.
