Phacoemulsification in posterior polar cataract: Experience from a tertiary eye care Centre in North India.

Purpose: To determine the rate of posterior capsular rupture (PCR) and assess the postoperative outcomes in patients of posterior polar cataract (PPC) undergoing phacoemulsification using a combination of "V" or "λ" nucleofractis and viscodissection.

Methods: It was a retrospective study of 80 eyes of 64 patients undergoing surgery for PPC. All surgeries were performed by a single surgeon.

Lack of association between lysyl oxidase-like 1 polymorphism in pseudoexfoliation syndrome and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma in North Indian population.

Introduction: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is commonly associated with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. The two nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms rs1048661 (R141L) and rs3825942 (G153D) within exon 1 of LOXL1 gene have been found to confer risk of pseudoexfoliation syndrome and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma in different geographical populations. This study aims to find association between two nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms with pseudoexfoliation syndrome and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma in North Indian population.

Characteristics of Pre-Descemet Membrane Corneal Dystrophy by Three Different Imaging Modalities-In Vivo Confocal Microscopy, Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography, and Scheimpflug Corneal Densitometry Analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the characteristics of pre-Descemet membrane corneal dystrophy by 3 different imaging modalities: in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM), anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT), and Scheimpflug corneal densitometry analysis.

Methods: A 32-year-old male patient with pre-Descemet membrane corneal dystrophy was subjected to imaging by IVCM, ASOCT, and Scheimpflug tomography.

Results: Slit-lamp biomicroscopy showed the presence of tiny pleomorphic opacities in the posterior stroma, immediately anterior to Descemet membrane bilaterally.

Effect of oral omega-3 Fatty Acid supplementation on contrast sensitivity in patients with moderate meibomian gland dysfunction: a prospective placebo-controlled study.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of oral supplementation with omega-3 (ω-3) fatty acids (FAs) in improving contrast sensitivity (CS) of patients with moderate meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD).

Methods: In this prospective study, 60 patients with moderate MGD were allocated alternately to treatment and control groups. Both groups received warm compresses, lid massage, and artificial tear substitutes.
