Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of combined 0.8% tropicamide and 5% phenylephrine on the corneal parameters using Pentacam.
Methods: The study was performed on 200 eyes of 100 adult patients visiting the ophthalmology clinic for evaluation of refractive errors or cataract screening.
Background: Systemic biochemical disarray has been implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of diabetes and its complications. However, the modifications in the metabolic state of the retina and its microenvironment in response to the systemic metabolic malfunction has not been documented.
Objective: The objective of the present study was to document the various biomarkers that may be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR).
Introduction: The best method of aphakia correction is in the bag implantation of Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens (PCIOL). When this ideal procedure is not possible due to lack of integrity of posterior capsule or zonules, the other alternatives are broadly categorized into two: extraocular and intraocular. Whereas, the former includes contact lenses and aphakic glasses, the latter ones are further divided into anterior and posterior chamber methods.

However, it can also be a rare form of ocular bleed following thrombolysis with streptokinase.
Case Report: A 65-year-old diabetic male presented to us with complain of sudden painless diminution of vision in his left eye, which he developed while he was being thrombolysed with streptokinase administered intravenously for an episode of acute myocardial infarct.
