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.

Isolation of unusual bacteria in canaliculitis: A series of four cases.

With increased availability of sophisticated microbiological techniques for isolation, growth and identification of micro-organisms the spectrum of organisms is rapidly. Herein we report four cases of canaliculitis with unusual organisms and highlight their clinical significance. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports of isolation of Brucella melitensis and Leuconostoc species reported in English literature; and only one report of isolation of Myroides species from canaliculitis exists.

Long term outcomes of transcutaneous non-image guided bleomycin sclerotherapy in orbital/adnexal lymphatic malformations: a protocol-based management in 69 eyes.

Objectives: To study the efficacy and the long-term outcomes of treating micro and macrocystic orbital and/or adnexal lymphatic malformations (OA-LM) with protocol-based bleomycin sclerotherapy.

Methods: A retrospective interventional study of 69 eyes having OA-LM treated with non-image guided transcutaneous or transconjunctival bleomycin sclerotherapy (1IU/ml aqueous solution) between December 2014 and December 2018. Based on clinical regression, the outcomes were classified as excellent, good, fair and poor.

Sight-Threatening Thyroid Eye Disease: Role of Diabetes Mellitus and Interaction with Other Risk Factors.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate whether diabetes mellitus (DM) is an independent risk factor in sight-threatening thyroid eye disease (ST-TED) and explore the interaction of DM with other known risk factors in TED.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study and included 202 consecutive TED patients presenting between 2013 and 2019. Data collected included demography, history of smoking, thyroid dysmetabolism, and presence of DM, TED-duration, activity and severity, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and follow-up.

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.

Transconjunctival dacryocystorhinostomy: An aesthetic approach.

Purpose: To report the anatomical and cosmetic outcome of transconjunctival dacryocystorhinostomy (TDCR) in an Asian Indian population.

Methods: TDCR was initially performed in cadaver eyes followed by patients with primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO). This was a prospective noncomparative case series of all consecutive TDCRs performed between April 2013 and June 2015.

Primary Nonendoscopic Endonasal Versus Delayed External Dacryocystorhinostomy in Acute Dacryocystitis.

Purpose: Conventional treatment for acute dacryocystitis consists of medical management followed by elective delayed external dacryocystorhinostomy (EXT-DCR). The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome after primary nonendoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy (NEN-DCR) versus conventional treatment in acute dacryocystitis.

Methods: Retrospective chart analysis of all consecutive patients of acute dacryocystitis presenting between 2011 and 2015 was performed.

Incomplete punctal canalisation: the external and internal punctal membranes. Outcomes of membranotomy and adjunctive procedures.

Aims: To study the clinical and diagnostic profile of punctal dysgenesis with membranes, to classify and correlate the membranes clinicopathologically and study the outcomes of membranotomy.

Methods: A prospective interventional study involving 55 dysgenetic puncta of 22 consecutive patients seen between July 2008 ansd December 2011. Data collected include demographics, clinical presentation, laterality, age at presentation, duration of symptoms, slit lamp examination, punctal profiles, types of membranes, associated lacrimal anomalies, management and outcomes.

Mixed Nocardia cyriacigeorgica and Staphylococcus aureus infection in the periocular skin and orbit in an immunocompetent adult.

A 32-year-old non-alcoholic, immunocompetent male with history of prior trauma presented with pain and protrusion of the left eye of 8 months' duration. A firm nontender mass could be palpated in the superomedial orbit and the periocular skin had multiple discharging nodules. Computed tomography of the orbit showed an ill-defined lesion in the left orbit with preseptal soft tissue thickening, lacrimal gland infiltration and a moth eaten appearance of the left orbital roof.
