Anterior segment optical coherence tomography characteristics and management of a unique spectrum of foreign bodies in the cornea and anterior chamber.

Purpose: To report anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) characteristics of different types of corneal and anterior chamber (AC) foreign bodies (FBs) and their usefulness in diagnosis and management.

Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive clinical study involving 11 eyes of 11 patients who presented at the outpatient department of a tertiary ophthalmic care center from January 2017 to January 2022. All patients had a diagnosed or suspected corneal FB.

Vertical scan imaging of Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography for descemet anchoring caterpillar seta: A case report and review of literature.

Purpose: To report Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (ASOCT) characteristic and its usefulness in the case of Descemet's membrane (DM) anchoring caterpillar seta, highlighting the importance of vertical scans of ASOCT in detecting and delineating the deep seta and its anterior chamber (AC) penetration.

Observation: A 30-year-old male patient presented with complaints of foreign body sensation and watering in the left eye after falling of an insect. Slit-lamp examination showed the presence of two caterpillar hairs, one embedded in the superficial conjunctiva and the second one embedded in the corneal stroma.

Reticular epithelial corneal edema as a novel side-effect of Rho Kinase Inhibitors: An Indian scenario.

Purpose: To describe clinical course, characteristics, and outcome of reticular epithelial corneal edema (RECE) occurring as a not-so-infrequent adverse effect of a novel drug, Rho-kinase inhibitors (ROCK-I)- netarsudil (0.02%) and ripasudil (0.4%).

Recurrent refractive error after myopic laser-assisted keratomileusis - What could be the reason?

Recurrence of myopia after myopic LASIK reduces the outcome of the procedure. Important causes include post-LASIK ectasia, regression of myopia, accommodative strain, and lens or axial length changes. Herein, we present a case of myopia recurring after LASIK and try to arrive at the possible diagnosis among these, as the treatment differs for each.

Accumulation of heavy metals (Cu, Cr, Pb and Cd) in freshwater micro algae (Chlorella sp.).

Some selected micro algae were used for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater. In this present investigation, Chlorella sp was studied for accumulation of heavy metals, namely copper, chromium, lead and cadmium. The salts containing heavy metals were dissolved in Blue Green 11 medium at different concentrations in a glass jar of 10 litre capacity each and subsequently they were bubbled with air for 12 days at a temperature of 33 degrees C and light intensity of 2200 lux.
