Safety and Efficacy of Mucograft Porcine Collagen Bioengineered Acellular Dermal Matrix as a Spacer Graft in Lower Eyelid Elevation Surgery.

Background: Recent regulatory changes have limited the access to a widely used commercially available bioengineered acellular dermal matrix (BADM) product as a spacer graft in the surgical correction of lower eyelid retraction. We report our off-label usage of Mucograft, a porcine BADM, as an alternative BADM.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of patients undergoing bilateral lower lid surgery with Mucograft (12 eyes) at a single institution.

Demography, Clinical Settings and Outcomes in Evisceration with Implant: An Electronic Medical Records Driven Analytics of 2071 Cases.

Purpose: To describe the demography, clinical settings and outcomes in 2071 patients undergoing evisceration across a multi-tier ophthalmology hospital network and comparison of results with the global scenario of clinical settings for evisceration.

Methods: An analysis of 2071 patients undergoing evisceration and implant between 2013 and 2019.

Results: The mean age at surgery was 39 ± 22 years.

Outcomes and complications of evisceration with primary implant: an electronic medical record driven analytics of 1800 cases.

Purpose: To describe the surgical outcomes and implant complications in 1,800 patients undergoing evisceration with primary implant.

Methods: An Electronic Medical Record-driven analysis of 1,800 patients undergoing evisceration with primary implant between 2013 and 2019. Implant sizing was performed intra-operatively to place the largest implant without tension on the wound closure.

Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction Update Study (CUP Study): Report III. Analysis of Earlier Failed Probing without Endoscopy Guidance.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to report the profile and outcomes of children with an earlier failed probing that was performed without endoscopy guidance.

Methods: Retrospective interventional case study was performed on all the patients who were referred with a diagnosis of a single or multiple failed probing from Jan 2016 to June 2019 to a tertiary care Dacryology center. All the patients had a blind probing without an endoscopy assistance before referral.

Visual field-based grading of disease severity in newly diagnosed primary open angle glaucoma patients presenting to a tertiary eye care centre in India.

Purpose: To evaluate the severity of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) at presentation using visual field analysis and its relationship to demographic and ocular factors in patients presenting to a tertiary eye care centre.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: Newly diagnosed POAG patients were classified as early, moderate, or severe stage in the worse eye based on the Humphrey visual field testing using Hodapp-Parrish-Andersons criteria.

Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction update study (CUP study): Paper II - Profile and outcomes of complex CNLDO and masquerades.

Objective: To assess the profiles and outcomes of complex congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (C-CNLDO).

Methods: Retrospective interventional case-series was performed on patients diagnosed with C-CNLDO and managed at a tertiary care Dacryology Institute from Jan 2016 to June 2019. Complex CNLDO was diagnosed based on intraoperative findings during probing and are defined as entities where CNLDO is secondary to, or associated with complex embryonic entities like buried probe, mal-development or non-development of bony NLD, additional proximal lacrimal dysgenesis, atonic sac, or associated craniofacial syndromes and craniofacial dysostosis.

Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction update study (CUP study): paper I-role and outcomes of Crigler's lacrimal sac compression.

Purpose: To assess the exclusive role and outcomes of Crigler's lacrimal sac compression in the management of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO).

Methods: Retrospective interventional case-series was performed on patients diagnosed with CNLDO and who were advised Crigler's lacrimal sac compression (CLSC) at a tertiary care Dacryology Institute from Jan 2016 to June 2019. CNLDO patients who were practicing incorrect techniques of lacrimal sac compression at presentation were separately assessed.

Behavior and outcomes of 70 adult lacrimal sac mucoceles.

: To study the clinical profile and outcomes in adults with lacrimal sac mucoceles.: A retrospective, interventional study on consecutive adult patients with lacrimal sac mucoceles who underwent dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR)/dacryocystectomy surgery. Primary outcome measure was subsidence of lacrimal sac swelling after intervention.

Multidrug-Resistant Escherichia coli Canaliculitis.

Escherichia coli canaliculitis is an exceptionally rare organism to cause primary canaliculitis. The present case describes unilateral canaliculitis refractory to conventional therapy with a significant history of recurrent culture proven E. coli urinary tract infection.

Punctal dilatation and non-incisional canalicular curettage in the management of infectious canaliculitis.

Objective: To describe the outcomes of punctal dilatation and non-incisional canalicular curettage in patients with infectious canaliculitis.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 53 canaliculi of 47 eyes of 46 consecutive patients diagnosed with canaliculitis was performed from November 2015 to December 2018. All patients were treated with punctal dilatation and a non-incisional canalicular curettage.
