Purpose: To study the clinical profile and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features in patients of COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (CA-ROCM) with orbital involvement and perform a clinicoradiological correlation.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed at a tertiary care center in north India from May 2021 to June 2021. Consecutive patients with clinical, nasal endoscopic, and/or microbiological evidence of CA-ROCM underwent MRI of paranasal sinuses, orbit, and brain as per the study protocol.
Purpose: To detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in aqueous and vitreous humor of COVID-19 patients in a pilot study.
Methods: : Consecutive patients planned for emergency ophthalmic surgeries after ocular trauma were subjected to naso-oropharyngeal RT-PCR test for SARS-CoV-2. Laboratory-confirmed cases were enrolled for the study.

Management of large corneal-epibulbar dermoids always poses a challenge to the surgeons due to deeper corneal involvement. Also, there is a risk of limbal stem cell deficiency and formation of pseudopterygium with larger areas of limbal involvement. We report a novel surgical technique for the management of giant corneal-epibulbar dermoid with pre-descemetic deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) and simple limbal epithelial transfer (SLET).

Purpose: To clinically validate a new automated glaucoma diagnosis software RIA-G.
Methods: A double-blinded study was conducted where 229 valid random fundus images were evaluated independently by RIA-G and three expert ophthalmologists. Optic nerve head parameters [vertical and horizontal cup-disc ratio (CDR) and neuroretinal rim (NRR) changes] were quantified.
Orbital lymphangiomas are isolated, benign vascular malformations of childhood. We report a case of orbital lymphangioma with acute intralesional hemorrhage in a 4-year-old boy that was associated with ipsilateral persistent fetal vasculature and extraorbital vascular malformations. Complete resolution of orbital lesion was achieved with chocolate cyst aspiration and intralesional injection of bleomycin.

Herein, we describe a case of 16-year-old boy, who presented with a rare combination of optic nerve avulsion associated with central retinal artery occlusion, following blunt trauma with a leather ball. This report highlights the potential blinding complication following rotational injury.

Methods: Three children who presented to us after trabeculectomy surgery were diagnosed with retinoblastoma. They were treated with enucleation of the affected eye.
A 34-year-old female presented with firecracker injury with curved metallic foreign body embedded in the left orbit and protruding out through the upper eyelid. The report highlights notable aspects in diagnosis, decision-making, and successful removal of this unusual case of retro-orbital foreign body.
