Assessment of risk of obstructive sleep apnea with thyroid eye disease and its activity.

Purpose: To evaluate the association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and thyroid eye disease (TED) and its effect on disease activity.

Methods: A prospective case-control study was conducted from January 2020 to March 2022. All TED patients (group A) were clinically evaluated.

Treatment outcomes of oral propranolol in the treatment of periocular infantile capillary hemangioma and factors predictive of recurrence and incomplete resolution: A multi-centric study.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the treatment outcomes of periocular capillary hemangioma with oral propranolol (OP) and list the factors predictive of recurrence and incomplete resolution after treatment.

Methodology: Data were collected by retrospective review of medical files of patients with infantile hemangioma (IH) treated with OP during January 2014-December 2019 from two tertiary eye institutes from India. Patients presenting with symptoms of IH with/without any history of prior treatment were included.

Nocardia endophthalmitis in a child: Distinct clinical and imaging features on orbital CT scan.

is a rare cause of endophthalmitis in immunocompetent individuals with poor visual outcomes. We, herein report a 15 month otherwise healthy child, who presented with hyphema, vitreous hemorrhage and secondary glaucoma following a vague history of trauma in the left eye 2 months before presentation. He presented a week later with features of panophthalmitis which were confirmed on B-scan and orbital CT scan.

Clinical profile of thyroid eye disease and factors predictive of disease severity.

Purpose: To describe the clinical features of thyroid eye disease (TED) in patients presenting at a tertiary eye care centre in North India and to identify factors predictive of severe disease.

Methods: This observational cross-sectional study involved clinical evaluation of all patients with TED who presented at the oculoplastic clinic based on the ITEDS VISA proforma. Risk factors for the severe disease were assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.

Unilateral Frontalis Suspension With Silicone Sling Without Levator Extirpation in Congenital Ptosis With Marcus Gunn Jaw Winking Synkinesis.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of unilateral tarso-frontalis silicone sling without levator extirpation or disinsertion in dampening the jaw wink in patients with congenital ptosis associated with Marcus Gunn Jaw Winking synkinesis phenomenon.

Methods: Retrospective review of medical records of all patients of congenital ptosis with moderate to severe Marcus Gunn jaw winking synkinesis who underwent unilateral tarsofrontal silicone sling surgery without extirpation of the levator muscle were retrospectively reviewed. Data were collected about the pre- and the postoperative severity of the ptosis and the amount of Marcus Gunn jaw winking excursion.

Intraocular amyloidosis with multifocal iris and anterior chamber translucent spherules.

Ocular amylodosis, although a rare entity, is known to affect the conjunctiva, extraocular muscles, orbit, lacrimal gland, and skin around the eyes. Intraocular deposition of amyloid mainly confines to the vitreous and cornea. In this report, we describe two cases of intraocular amyloidosis presenting as multiple iris and anterior chamber cysts.

Low-cost three-dimensional printed orbital template-assisted patient-specific implants for the correction of spherical orbital implant migration.

Purpose: To describe the outcomes of a patient-specific implant (PSI), fabricated using a three-dimensional (3D) printed orbital template and placed in the basin of the inferior orbital fissure to correct inferotemporally migrated spherical orbital implant.

Methods: This is a single-center, prospective, consecutive, interventional, case series of six patients, with non-porous, spherical, orbital implant migration that underwent implant recentration surgically with a novel technique. Migration was subclassified either as decentration that did not affect the prosthetic retention or as displacement that affected the prosthetic retention in the eye socket.

Non-surgical management of congenital ichthyosis using hyaluronic acid gel injection.

Aim: To test if hyaluronic acid gel injection in the upper eyelid achieves correction of congenital cicatricial ectropion and reduction in lagophthalmos, in preparation for intraocular surgery.

Methods: This case reports the long-term outcome of hyaluronic acid gel injection in the upper eyelid for the correction of ectropion prior to cataract surgery. One millilitre of hyaluronic acid gel was injected in both the upper eyelids of a child with congenital ichthyosis in the suborbicularis plane, prior to cataract surgery.

Conjunctival Retention Cysts: Outcomes of Aspiration and Sclerotherapy With Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate.

Purpose: To assess the outcome of aspiration and sclerotherapy with sodium tetradecyl sulfate in the management of conjunctival inclusion cysts.

Methods: Retrospective interventional case series of 6 patients with clinical diagnosis of conjunctival inclusion cysts treated with cyst aspiration and foam sclerotherapy with 3% sodium tetradecyl sulfate. The volume of the sclerosant was 20% of the aspirated cyst volume.
