Successful Surgical Management of Retinopathy of Prematurity Showing Rapid Progression despite Extensive Retinal Photocoagulation.

The management of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) can be challenging in preterm babies with a gestational age <30 weeks, those with very low birth weight and multiple risk factors (eg., oxygen therapy for respiratory distress, sepsis, neonatal jaundice). A premature infant presented with "hybrid" zone 1 disease in the right eye and aggressive posterior ROP in the left eye.

Spontaneous resorption of sub-retinal cortical lens material.

We report a rare case of retained sub-retinal cortical material, which underwent spontaneous resorption. Patient presented with a left eye traumatic retinal detachment with a large retinal tear and posteriorly dislocated cataractous lens. Vitrectomy, lensectomy, silicone oil injection, and endolaser were performed.

Prevalence and determinants of age-related macular degeneration in the 50 years and older population: a hospital based study in Maharashtra, India.

Background: We present the magnitude and determinants of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) among the 50 year and older population that visited our hospital.

Materials And Methods: This was a cohort of eye patients with ARMD, seen from 2006 to 2009. Optometrist noted the best-corrected vision.

Safety and efficacy of phacoemulsification compared with manual small-incision cataract surgery by a randomized controlled clinical trial: six-week results.

Objective: To compare the efficacy, safety, and refractive errors of astigmatism after cataract surgery by phacoemulsification and manual small-incision cataract surgery techniques.

Design: Masked randomized control clinical trial.

Participants: Four hundred eyes of 400 patients, 1:1 randomization with half in each arm of the trial.
