Objective: To study the prevalence, clinical presentation, treatment, and follow-up of ocular (dermal) melanocytosis (ODM) and its association with choroidal melanoma (CM) in Asian Indian patients.
Methods: This was a retrospective case series of patients with ODM conducted in a quaternary eye care center.
Results: Of the total 1.

Purpose: Hazy media with resultant difficulties in visualisation hamper the surgical approach and outcomes in various vitreoretinal surgical scenarios, including eyes with keratoprosthesis in situ. We propose a novel chandelier-assisted bimanual infusion using a flute needle to overcome the inability to secure infusion safely in such eyes.
Methods: The surgical technique was performed with the assistance of chandelier illumination.
Purpose: To study intravitreal brolucizumab in the management of persistent macular fluid in chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) without choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM).
Methods: Retrospective case series which included eyes with chronic CSCR with persistent macular fluid for ≥ 3 months without CNVM. Intravitreal brolucizumab was administered in all eyes.
Aim: To report the clinical settings and factors predicting outcomes in scleral tears with concurrent retained intraocular foreign bodies METHODS: All cases with scleral and corneoscleral wounds with retained intraocular foreign bodies (RIOFB) from January 2014 to January 2021 were retrospectively analysed. Favourable anatomic outcome was defined as presence of globe integrity, attached retina, absence of hypotony and active inflammation at last visit. Favourable functional outcome was defined as final visual acuity (VA) > 20/200.

Retinotomies and retinectomies aid in tackling traction and retinal shortening that persist following membrane dissection and scleral buckling. We performed a literature search using Google Scholar and PubMed, followed by a review of the references procured.

Settings: Retrospective, consecutive, non-comparative interventional case series. Cases of MDR and XDR endophthalmitis from January 2012 to December 2020 treated at our tertiary eye care center were included.
Purpose: To study etiology, clinical presentation, anatomical, and functional outcomes of patients with giant retinal tear detachment at a tertiary eye institute.
Methods: Retrospective, consecutive case series of 396 patients (396 eyes) who underwent surgery were reviewed. Factors affecting the final anatomical and functional success were determined.
A 42-year-old male post-renal transplantation presented with sudden diminution of vision in the left eye. The right eye was lost following a failed vitreoretinal surgery 5 years ago. The patient had been hospitalized 4 months prior for coronavirus disease 2019 infection with a good recovery.

However, physiological tremors, intraocular dexterity and difficulty in visualization hamper minimally invasive retinal surgery. Robotics has the potential to overcome these limitations and improve surgical outcomes.

Materials: A retrospective, consecutive, noncomparative series including cases of endophthalmitis with concurrent lens abscess from January 2017 to May 2021.
Results: This study included 102 eyes, predominantly male (71.
