Effect of Light Emitting Diodes (LED) Exposure on Vitreous Metabolites-Rodent Study.

The exposure to blue and white Light emitting diodes (LED) light leads to damage in the visual system with short-term LED light exposure. Chronic exposure, adaptive responses to light, and self-protective mechanisms against LED light exposures need to be explored, and it would be essential to understand the repercussions of LED radiation on vitreous metabolites. A total of 24 male Wistar rats were used in this study, divided into four groups (n = 6 in each group).

Blue Light-Induced Retinal Neuronal Injury and Amelioration by Commercially Available Blue Light-Blocking Lenses.

Blue light exposure-induced retinal damage has been extensively studied. Although many in vitro studies have shown the benefits of blue light-blocking lenses (BBL) there have been few comprehensive in vivo studies to assess the effects of BBL. We investigated the influence of blue light exposure using light-emitting diodes on retinal histology and visual cortex neurons in rodents.

Has Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Assessment Become the Method of Choice for Glaucoma Evaluation in Clinical Practice?

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the role of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) as a method of choice for early glaucoma diagnosis in glaucoma suspects.

Design: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study.

Materials And Methods: After a comprehensive ophthalmic examination and visual field analysis, 20 patients were included in each of the three groups: Normal group, possible glaucoma, definitive glaucoma, respectively.

Is LEA symbol better compared to Snellen chart for visual acuity assessment in preschool children?

To compare visual acuity using the LEA symbol chart with Snellen E test chart in preschool children of age 3-5 years. : 50 emmetropic children aged 3 to 5 years. Strabismus, amblyopia, ametropia, and any organic eye disease.

Paraneoplastic Glomerulopathy in a Case of Collecting Duct Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Paraneoplastic glomerulopathy has been described in established cases of the solid tumors of lung, gastrointestinal system, breast, etc., and rarely in patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). Studies on secondary glomerular diseases have described a higher incidence of IgA nephropathy in patients with RCC compared to membranous glomerulopathy, which are commonly reported in malignancies of the lung and gastrointestinal tract.

Outbreak of multidrug-resistant acute postoperative endophthalmitis due to Enterobacter aerogenes.

Purpose: To report the clinical features, management, and outcome of 7 cases of culture-proven multidrug-resistant Enterobacter postoperative endophthalmitis following cataract surgery.

Methods: Medical records of 7 cases of acute postoperative endophthalmitis after uneventful cataract surgery were reviewed. Details regarding age, gender, visual acuity and clinical features at presentation, microbiological profile, treatment interventions, and visual acuity and clinical features at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months follow-up were collected.
