Comparison of Oxidant and Antioxidant Status in the Aqueous Humour of Cataract Patients with and without Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Objectives: To compare the total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and oxidative stress index (OSI) in the aqueous humour of cataract patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Study Design: Cross-sectional analytical study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Physiology, Army Medical College, National University of Medical Sciences, Rawalpindi, Pakistan in collaboration with Armed Forces Institute of Ophthalmology, from 1st June 2022 to 31st January 2023.

Cornea plana in a family from Pakistan: Case series and literature review on the principles of management.

Cornea plana (CP) is a rare ocular condition existing in two distinct clinical and hereditary forms: a milder, autosomal dominant type I and a more severe, autosomal recessive type II. The condition is more commonly found in Finnish, Saudi, and Czech families. We report three brothers from a consanguineous marriage that presented with complaints of decreased vision of varying degrees.

Isolated Chorioretinal Coloboma: A Case Report.

Ocular coloboma is a rare congenital anomaly that arises due to an abnormality in embryogenesis. It occurs due to failed fusion of the embryonic fissure resulting in a persistent defect. Colobomas may present with vision loss but are most commonly asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally.

Anterograde Reconstruction of Severe Bi-Canalicular Obstruction with Autogenous Saphenous Vein Graft: A Novel Surgical Technique.

Severe lacrimal canalicular obstruction mandates a bypass surgery of conjunctivo dacryocystorhinostomy with Lester Jones tube or alternatively retrograde intubation and pseudopunctum generation with conventional, dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). However, in each case, the natural pathway is violated and added commitment of Lester Jones tube maintenance often leads to patient dissatisfaction. This novel surgical technique aims at de novo, anterograde, reconstruction of lacrimal canaliculi and rehabilitation of the natural lacrimal passage with interposition of autogenous saphenous vein graft.
