Electrophysiological and Visual Parameter Changes in Retinitis Pigmentosa Patients undergoing Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy: A Randomized Control Trial.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections in suprachoroidal space and subtenon space in cases of retinitis pigmentosa, which is a genetic disease, leading to gradual loss of vision. Till date, no treatment is available.

Methods: Seventy-eight eyes of 39 patients of retinitis pigmentosa having visual acuity ranging from reading of Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) chart from 1 m onward to patients who were not able to read the ETDRS chart but whose visual acuity ranged from finger count close to face to <1 m were included in the study.

Scleral buckling-induced ocular parameter changes in different age group patients of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Purpose: This study was aimed to evaluate the difference in the ocular parameter changes following scleral buckling (SB) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) in different age group patients.

Materials And Methods: This prospective study included 26 eyes of 26 patients who underwent SB for uncomplicated RRD. The patients were divided into three age groups: 16-30 years (Group I), 31-45 years (Group II), and 46-60 years (Group III).

Central serous chorioretinopathy secondary to tuberculosis: cause or coincidence.

32-year-old male with diagnosis of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) in both eyes and negative history of administration of any medicine was treated with bilateral focal laser at leakage point, with visual recovery. Recurrence occurred after 2 years in right eye and was treated successfully with acetazolamide. Second recurrence occurred after 1 year.

Cluster endophthalmitis following multiple intravitreal bevacizumab injections from a single use vial.

The risk of endophthalmitis is always a concern when an intraocular procedure is performed. Intravitreal injection is a frequently used method for therapeutic management of many diseases, affecting the posterior segment of the eye. Hence, it is important to assess the risk of complications, especially endophthalmitis.

Clinical Objective Dry Eye Tests in a Population of Tannery Workers in North India.

Purpose: To analyze the correlation between subjective symptoms and clinical signs of dry eye among tannery workers.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, three classic clinical tests, namely the fluorescein tear film break-up time (FTBUT) test, the fluorescein staining (FS) test, and the Schirmer test (ST), were performed to assess the clinical signs of dry eye disease in 246 tanners who were found symptomatic for dry eye in a prior ocular surface disease index survey.

Results: All workers were male with a mean age of 35 ± 9 years, and the mean duration of work at tanneries was 8 ± 5 years.

A questionnaire-based survey of dry eye disease among leather tannery workers in Kanpur, India: a case-control study.

Context: Kanpur is a major leather processing center in India, where a large number of tanneries are situated. During tanning process, workers are constantly exposed to heat, leather dust produced in buffering operations and a wide range of chemicals. All these factors are known to cause dry eye.

Purpose: To describe an unusual case of methanol-induced optic neuritis with bilateral multifocal extrafoveal serous retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) detachment.

Methods: Single case report.

Case Report: A 40-year-old male presented with acute bilateral loss of vision and history of consumption of adulterated alcohol.

Role of multilayered amniotic membrane transplantation for the treatment of resistant corneal ulcers in North India.

To study the role of multilayer amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) in the treatment of non-healing corneal ulcers. This study included 28 patients with non-healing bacterial corneal ulcers. AMT was performed using the 'overlay on-inlay' technique'.
