A comparative analysis of postoperative visual outcomes following cataract surgery with different brands of Monofocal Intraocular Lenses.

Objective: To compare visual outcomes after cataract surgery using three intraocular lenses (IOL) of different prices but similar properties.

Methods: A comparative study with retrospective data of patients operated for phacoemulsification with monofocal IOL implants was carried out at Al-Ibrahim Eye Hospital (AIEH) from April 2021 to Feb 2022. Patients with diabetes, any preoperative ocular morbidity and unclear diagnosis were excluded from the study.

Ocular Complications Associated With Diabetes And The Risk Of Sustainable Blindness; A Real World Analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the frequencies of ocular comorbidities among patients with type II diabetes, and the association with multiple systemic factors.

Methods: The retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Al Ibrahim Eye Hospital, Karachi, and comprised diabetic eye clinic data from April 2014 to February 2022. Demographic, biochemical and ophthalmic findings of the patients were recorded.

iMIGS: An innovative AI based prediction system for selecting the best patient-specific glaucoma treatment.

The use of AI-based techniques in healthcare are becoming more and more common and more disease-specific. Glaucoma is a disorder in eye that causes damage to the optic nerve which can lead to permanent blindness. It is caused by the elevated pressure inside the eye due to the obstruction to the flow of the drainage fluid (aqueous humor).

Impact of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery on the ocular surface and quality of life in patients with glaucoma.

Background: Minimally invasive glaucoma procedures are emerging as clinically effective and safe glaucoma management approaches; however, evidence regarding quality-of-life outcomes is limited.

Objectives: To explore the impact of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) combined with phacoemulsification on patient-reported outcomes and clinical parameters related to ocular surface disease in people with glaucoma.

Design: Retrospective observational study.

A comparison of iStent combined with phacoemulsification and endocyclophotocoagulation (ICE2) with the PreserFlo MicroShunt and XEN-45 implants.

Background: Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), including minimally invasive bleb surgery (MIBS), is a rapidly evolving area of research and clinical interest in ophthalmology. The growing number of devices has necessitated evaluations to identify subtle differences in outcomes between treatments.

Objectives: To compare clinical effectiveness and safety outcomes of iStent combined with endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ICE2) with bleb forming PreserFlo MicroShunt (PMS) and XEN-45 gel implant in a 24-month retrospective review.

Smart AMD prognosis through cellphone: an innovative localized AI-based prediction system for anti-VEGF treatment prognosis in nonagenarians and centenarians.

Background And Objective: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the most common reasons for blindness in the world today. The most common treatment for wet AMD is the intravitreal injections for inhibiting vascular-endothelial-derived growth factor (VEGF). This treatment usually involves multiple injections and thus multiple clinic visits, which not only causes increased cost on national health services but also causes exposure to the hospital environment, which is sometimes high risk considering current COVID crisis.

Bilateral, vertical supranuclear gaze palsy following unilateral midbrain infarct.

A 60-year-old man recently admitted for bipedal oedema, endocarditis and a persistently positive COVID-19 swab with a history of anticoagulation on rivaroxaban for atrial fibrillation, transitional cell carcinoma, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, diabetes and hypertension presented with sudden onset diplopia and vertical gaze palsy. Vestibulo-ocular reflex was preserved. Simultaneously, he developed a scotoma and sudden visual loss, and was found to have a right branch retinal artery occlusion.

A multicentre review of the histology of 1012 periocular basal cell carcinomas.

Aims: To evaluate primary periocular basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) in depth including comparing histological margins with subtype, location and surgical specialty after wide local excision.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed for all BCCs excised from three hospitals over 5 years, covering a population of just over 1 million. Tumours were classified according to histological subtype location.

INTRAVITREL BEVACIZUMAB IN DIFFERENT TYPE OF RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSIONS.

Background: Retinal vein occlusion is frequent cause of visual loss with insufficient treatment options. Many treatment options have been tried in the past including intravitreal triamcenoloneacetonide injection. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and complications of intravitreal injection of Bevacizumab in different types of retinal vein occlusion.

Isolated inferior oblique myectomy for hypertropia.

Background: Hypertropia is a condition in which one eye is elevated relative to the other, either intermittently or constantly. It causes significant problem either cosmetically or by abnormal head posture and thus needs to be corrected surgically. This study was conducted to evaluate the success rate and complications of isolated inferior oblique myectomy in patients with hypertropia.

Success of surgical correction in constant and intermittent exotropias.

Objective: To evaluate the success rate of surgical corrections of constant and intermittent exotropias.

Study Design: A case series.

Place And Duration Of Study: Al-Ibrahim Eye Hospital, Karachi, from July 2011 to December 2012.

Efficacy of sub-conjunctival and topical bevacizumab in high-risk corneal transplant survival.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of subconjunctival bevacizumab and topical bevacizumab in preventing neovascularisation on high-risk corneal grafts.

Methods: The randomised, controlled, parallel group study was carried out from February 2008 to April 2012 at Isra Postgraduate Institute of Ophthalmology and Yasin Eye Hospital, Karachi. Eyes with high-risk corneal transplantation with corneal neovascularisation were included in the trial.

Efficacy of topical bevacizumab in high-risk corneal transplant survival.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of topical Bevacizumab in preventing neovascularisation on high risk corneal grafts.

Methodology: This study was a randomized, controlled, parallel group study, carried out from February 2008 to April 2012 (51 months) at Isra Postgraduate Institute of Ophthalmology and Yasin eye hospital, Karachi. Eyes with high risk corneal transplantation with corneal neovascularization were included in this interventional study/randomized clinical trial.
