Glauco-Claw: A novice implant for chronic angle-closure glaucoma.

This article describes 1-year outcomes of a new intra-ocular implant, "Glauco-Claw," in refractory chronic angle-closure glaucoma (ACG). Glauco-Claw is a novice polymethylmethacrylate implant with a central ring and five claws placed circumferentially. It was placed in the anterior chamber and the peripheral iris was tucked into the claws, thus causing goniosynechialysis and preventing the reformation of goniosynechiae.

Surgical application of Ong speculum in simple limbal epithelial transplantation and pterygium surgery.

Ong speculum is used in glaucoma surgeries such as trabeculectomy to expose the superior part of the globe. The large inferior blade pushes the inferior conjunctival fornix, due to which the eyeball rotates downwards. It has not been used in other anterior segment surgeries before.

Utility of intraocular endoscope for lacrimal canaliculi and sac examination.

Purpose: Intraocular endoscope was used as a dacryoendoscope, and its observations and performance in lacrimal drainage system (LDS) are reported.

Methods: The Endo Optiks (Little Silver, New Jersey, USA), an intraocular endoscope (modified with customized sheath), was used for LDS visualization in ten normal adults and five patients with lacrimal disorders.

Results: We were able to capture high-definition images of lacrimal canaliculi and sac in all normal adults.

Successful management of severe unilateral chemical burns in children using simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET).

Aim: To study the outcomes of simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET) for unilateral total limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) secondary to severe ocular surface burns in children.

Methods: Retrospective interventional case series was performed at a private referral tertiary care centre. Children less than 15 years of age who underwent autologous SLET for total LSCD and had a minimum follow-up of 6 months were included in the study.

Duane retraction syndrome: series of 441 cases.

Purpose: To determine the demographic and clinical profile of various subtypes of Duane retraction syndrome (DRS).

Methods: Retrospective case series of 441 patients.

Results: Of the total 441 patients, 389 (88.

Verteporfin therapy for myopic choroidal neovascularisation in Indian eyes (one year results).

Purpose: To investigate the 12 months' follow-up outcome of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with verteporfin for CNV in pathologic myopia in pigmented eyes of patients from the Indian subcontinent.

Methods: Nine eyes of 9 consecutive patients were included in the study. Patients with a spherical equivalent of - 6 diopter or more and baseline visual acuity of 6/60 or better were included.
