A clinical study to evaluate the results after toric intraocular lens implantation in cases of corneal astigmatism.

Backgroud: Modern day cataract surgery aims at a spectacle free vision which becomes difficult in cases with pre-operative astigmatism more than 1.5 D. Implantation of toric intra-ocular lenses (IOL) after phacoemulsification in such eyes is one of the ways to counteract this problem.

A clinical correlation of conjunctival microangiopathy with grades of retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Conjunctival microangiopathy has been described among diabetics similar to retinal vessel angiopathy. Correlation of these conjunctival microangiopathy changes with retinopathy may form the basis of screening by external examination without expert fundus evaluation.

Methods: Conjunctival vessels widths and tortuous segment length of conjunctival vessels of 96 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were photographed and measured by the Zeiss Fundus camera Visupac software.

A prospective interventional study of effect of accelerated orthokeratology on the corneal curvature and refraction among young adults with myopia.

Background: Orthokeratology with reverse geometry contact lens is a non-surgical alternative to conventional contact lenses for correction of myopia. However, the strength of evidence for its efficacy and safety is limited to retrospective studies and only a few prospective studies. This prospective study, the first on Indian subjects, evaluated the outcome of orthokeratology among young myopes.
