Purpose: This study was conducted to assess patients' outcome and satisfaction with the eye care received with telemedicine and physical consultation at a tertiary care hospital during and after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
Methods: A descriptive study was carried out on 6052 patients who consulted for eye illness at a tertiary care hospital between April 2020 and December 2022. An outcome scoring system was developed and validated for the assessment of patient outcome after providing treatment on telemedicine consultation and physical consultation.
Purpose: The study aims to systematically assess patient satisfaction concerning eye care services provided during and after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic at a tertiary care academic institution. This work seeks to analyze the various dimensions influencing the holistic measure of overall patient contentment.
Methods: A cohort of 2485 patients seeking physical consultation for ocular conditions at a tertiary care academic institution between April 2020 and December 2022 were recruited in a cross-sectional study.
Purpose: To assess the severity of glaucoma and its worsening using Spaeth/Richman contrast sensitivity (SPARCS). To evaluate its correlation with retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) and perimetry.
Methods: In this prospective observational study, 90 eyes of primary open-angle glaucoma were categorized into mild, moderate, and severe glaucoma (30 each).
Purpose: To analyze FAZ superficial (s) and deep (d) area and dimensions by using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in healthy eyes and to assess effect of age, gender, axial length (AL), central foveal thickness (CFT), and central choroidal thickness (CCT) on FAZ. We aimed to study FAZ dimensions with OCTA in healthy Indian eyes with the purpose of creating a normative database.
Settings And Design: Observational cross-sectional study.
Introduction: This study was conducted to describe the epidemiology, prognostic factors, and visual outcomes of open globe injuries (OGIs) at a tertiary care centre in Western Rajasthan, India.
Methods: Data of OGI patients treated at the Department of Ophthalmology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, from March 2019 to December 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Demographic details including age, gender, place of injury, wound characteristics (i.
Purpose: To examine the ocular surface disease in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients already on treatment versus POAG patients without treatment.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 120 eyes of 60 POAG patients: 60 treatment-naïve eyes (group I) and 60 eyes already on topical anti-glaucoma medications (AGMs) (group II). All patients had filled out the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire and underwent a comprehensive glaucoma workup.
Introduction With the advent of newer microsurgical techniques, the results for cataract surgery have become quite promising. An accurate intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation is one of the most important factors in optimizing the results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of four IOL power calculation formulas, namely, Barrett Universal II, Holladay 1, SRK/T and Hoffer Q, using optical biometry in children undergoing cataract surgery with primary IOL implantation.

Methods: We examined CS in 82 low vision (LV) subjects having retinal diseases with Pelli Robson Chart at 1 m distance before and after wearing yellow-amber NoIR glasses. We also found type of retinal affection and macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) features.
Introduction: Rosai Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare benign histiocytic proliferative disorder of lymph node sinuses. Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a solitary or multisystem clonal proliferation of abnormal dendritic cells (Langerhans cells) with varied presentations. The co-occurrence of these two entities is quite rare.

Methods: Randomized prospective comparative study was done. After performing strabismus surgery, conjunctival flap was apposed with fibrin sealant in Group 1 and 8-0 vicryl suture with buried knots in Group 2.
Aim: To report a case of bilateral phacomatosis pigmentovascularis (PPV), in a young male,presenting with developmental glaucoma and high myopia along with systemic features of klippel trenanauy weber (KTW) syndrome.
Background: The co-existence of oculodermal melanocytosis (ODM)and port-wine stain was termed PPV by Ota. Port-wine stain presents as part of Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS).
Purpose: This study aimed to propose the role of amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) as an additional modulator in primary Mitomycin C (MMC)-augmented trabeculectomy.
Methods: This was a randomized prospective interventional study. Forty eyes of 39 adult patients with uncontrolled primary glaucoma were randomly divided into two equal groups.
