Pterygium extended removal followed by minor ipsilateral simple limbal epithelial transplantation (PERMISLET): An innovative technique for recurrent pterygium.

We describe a novel technique for recurrent pterygium and assess the advantage of properties of extended tenonectomy, amniotic membrane transplantation, and limbal epithelial transplantation in terms of recurrence rate, postoperative symptoms, postoperative orthoptics, and other complications. A total of nine eyes with recurrent pterygium underwent PERMISLET, i.e.

Ocular dirofilariasis masquerading as orbital cellulitis: A case report and review of the literature.

Ocular dirofilariasis is no longer a rare disease as more cases are being reported across the world and in India as awareness about this disease among health care professionals has increased.

Safety and efficacy of indigenously developed Ruthenium-106 eye plaque for brachytherapy of a spectrum of ocular tumors: A case series.

Various treatment modalities are available for treatment of ocular tumors, which include chemotherapy, laser, and radiotherapy (external beam radiation therapy or brachytherapy). Brachytherapy using plaque applicator is preferred over external beam radiation therapy when the tumor is well localized, as this therapy delivers radiation dose to the tumor with lower doses to normal tissues in the vicinity. However, plaque therapy is expensive and beyond the reach of many poor patients in India.

Surgical outcomes of tarsofrontalis sling surgery using silicon rod versus supramaximal levator resection in unilateral congenital ptosis with poor levator function.

Purpose: To compare the surgical outcomes of tarsofrontalis sling surgery using silicon rod versus supramaximal levator resection in patients of unilateral congenital ptosis with poor levator function (≤ 4 mm).

Materials And Methods: This randomized control study was conducted over a period of 18 months. 44 patients were enrolled in the study group.

Efficacy and safety of brolucizumab versus aflibercept in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration: a randomized trial in Indian patients.

Background: The current standard treatment for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) involves intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents. The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness and safety of two anti-VEGF drugs: brolucizumab and aflibercept, in treatment-naïve nAMD Indian patients over a period of 48 weeks.

Methods: A prospective, randomized, single-centre, single-blinded, two-arm comparative study was conducted between March 2021 and February 2022.

Clinicopathological profile, management and clinical outcomes in recurrent cases of ocular surface squamous neoplasia at a tertiary care centre.

Purpose: This study was taken up to look into the various causes of recurrence, clinicopathological profile and final outcomes in recurrent cases of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN).

Methodology: A prospective cohort study was conducted and total 18 patients were recruited. All patients were subjected to detailed history, comprehensive eye examination and imaging studies.

Post-corneal transplant keratitis - Incidence and outcome.

Purpose: To report the risk factors, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of Candida keratitis following corneal transplantation in India.

Methods: On retrospective review of medical records of 789 patients, 31 eyes developed a graft infection following corneal transplantation or keratoprosthesis and we could identify the Candida infection in only five. These cases were operated at two tertiary care centers in India.
