Not-so-minimal for minimally invasive surgery.

Sub-macular hemorrhage poses a potential threat to vision if left untreated. The preferred surgical technique to clear sub-macular hemorrhage includes vitrectomy followed by retinotomy using a 41G needle with subsequent injection of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) followed by air/SF6 injection into the sub-retinal space. A malleable nature, increased resistance, and the cost of the 41G needle limit its use.

A questionnaire-based assessment of Safe Eye Examination (SEE) technique.

Purpose: This study aims to assess the novel and innovative method of Safe Eye Examination (SEE) technique using the model eye for the purpose of teaching, training, and resident examination.

Methods: A questionnaire-based study (Descriptive Data) with 53 participants, including ophthalmology residents, fellows in various subspecialties, and trainee optometrists was used. In our study, we used the Reti Eye model, but instead of the usual retina template sheet, we used prominent pathological fundus photographs loaded into the model eye.

Safety & efficacy of single subconjunctival triamcinolone 5 mg depot topical loteprednol post cataract surgery: less drop cataract surgery.

Aim: To do a randomized prospective interventional study for comparing the effects of a single subconjunctival triamcinolone acetonide (SCTA) injection to tapering topical loteprednol in patients undergoing phacoemulsification surgery under topical anesthesia.

Methods: A total of 400 patients were randomized into 2 groups; Group A (200 patients) received 5 mg SCTA at the end of surgery and topical ketorolac tromethamine (0.5%) with ofloxacin (0.
