Article Synopsis
- The study focused on COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) in India, examining patient demographics, risk factors, symptoms, and management outcomes during the pandemic's second wave.
- Key findings revealed that 78% of patients had diabetes and a majority required oxygen support; most cases showed ROCM symptoms within 10-15 days post-COVID diagnosis.
- Final outcomes indicated a 14% mortality rate, significantly reduced through surgical interventions, highlighting the role of corticosteroids and diabetes as major contributors to ROCM development.

Methods: ECCE with HSM PC IOL and AGV implantation was performed through two separate incisions in 15 patients diagnosed with phacomorphic glaucoma. Postoperative improvement in visual acuity and IOP control were monitored.

Background And Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the results of small incision trabeculectomy (SIT) avoiding Tenon's capsule vis-à-vis conventional trabeculectomy, and find a safe, effective alternative to conventional trabeculectomy with or without pharmacological wound modulation.
Patients And Methods: A controlled prospective study was conducted on 80 consecutive open-angle glaucoma patients requiring glaucoma filtration surgery. They were divided into two groups: Group I (n = 40): patients undergoing conventional trabeculectomy; and Group II (n = 40): patients undergoing limbal approach SIT.
