Surgical exposure for vitrectomy in retinopathy of prematurity.

Our purpose was to evaluate the efficacy of lateral canthotomy, sub-tenon anesthesia injection, and the use of modified speculum for gaining adequate surgical exposure during surgery for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Fourteen eyes of 10 consecutive patients undergoing microincisional vitrectomy surgery (MIVS) for stage 4 and stage 5 ROP were included. There was a significant widening of the palpebral fissure height and length using this technique.

Krill's Disease: A Newer Management Option.

Purpose: To report a case of a young female who presented with scotoma in the right eye for few days.

Case Report: Krill's disease or acute retinal pigment epithelitis (ARPE) is a self-limiting retinal disease with no specific treatment. Typical clinical and imaging features helped us to diagnose her with ARPE.

Topical glycerine for corneal clouding during retinal laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity.

Aim: To document the use of topical glycerine to reduce corneal edema in cases of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) undergoing laser photocoagulation (PHC).

Methods: Thirty-two eyes of 16 babies (9 males) with a mean gestational age of 30 weeks, mean gestational weight of 1242 grams underwent PHC for Type 1 (zone 1 disease) retinopathy of prematurity. All babies received a single PHC session.

BEVACIZUMAB FOR POST VITRECTOMY CYSTOID MACULAR EDEMA IN A SILICONE OIL-FILLED EYE.

Purpose: To report the safety and efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) in a case of cystoid macular edema (CME) in a silicone oil-filled eye.

Methods: A man, aged 51 years, reported with poor visual improvement in the right eye (RE) after pars plana vitrectomy with oil injection performed 2 months back for a pseudophakic, macula-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. His best-corrected visual acuity in the RE was counting fingers 2 m.

Prevalence and predictors of myopic macular degeneration among Asian adults: pooled analysis from the Asian Eye Epidemiology Consortium.

Aims: To determine the prevalence and predictors of myopic macular degeneration (MMD) in a consortium of Asian studies.

Methods: Individual-level data from 19 885 participants from four population-based studies, and 1379 highly myopic participants (defined as axial length (AL) >26.0 mm) from three clinic-based/school-based studies of the Asian Eye Epidemiology Consortium were pooled.

Topical nepafenac 0.1% alone versus prednisolone acetate 1% as postoperative anti-inflammatory agents in small gauge vitrectomy.

Aim: To compare the efficacy of postoperative topical nepafenac (0.1%) with prednisolone acetate (1%) as anti-inflammatory agents in eyes undergoing Transscleral Sutureless Vitrectomy (TSV).

Settings And Design: Prospective, double-blind, randomized, single center clinical study.

Prevalence and associations of retinal vein occlusions: the Central India Eye and Medical Study.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of retinal vein occlusions (RVOs) in rural central India.

Methods: The population-based Central India Eye and Medical Study was performed in rural central India and included 4,711 subjects (30 years and older). Using fundus photographs, we assessed the prevalence of branch retinal vein occlusions and central retinal vein occlusions.
