Purpose: The aim of the study was to statistically compare intraocular pressure (IOP) values measured using noncontact tonometer (NCT), Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) with fluorescein (fGAT), and GAT without fluorescein (nGAT). The study was also performed to test whether the values obtained using each technique change in accordance with the central corneal thickness (CCT) and refractive and keratometric values.
Study Design: This study was a prospective study of 188 eyes of 94 healthy volunteers.
Article Synopsis
- Cervicofacial emphysema (CFE) is a rare condition typically associated with trauma or dental work, and can mistakenly be identified as other serious conditions like angioedema or necrotizing fasciitis.
- The article details a case of a 40-year-old woman who experienced CFE twice after uncomplicated unilateral dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) on different days for each side of her face.
- Diagnosis was confirmed using computed tomography, which showed air in the subcutaneous tissue, and the presence of crepitation provided additional evidence, marking this as the first report of recurrent CFE after DCR surgery.
Association of extensive myelinated nerve fibers and high degree myopia: case report.
Indian J Ophthalmol
October 2013
Unilateral extensive myelination of the peripapillary nerve fibers may be associated with anisometropic myopia, strabismus, and reduced vision. Myelination of optic nerve fibers terminate at lamina cribrosa. Yet in some patients, myelination progresses into the peripapillary retinal nerve fibers and may affect the visual acuity.

Besides general refractive characteristics of the students, the possible relationship between the occurrence of myopia and several factors was also determined.
Methods: Two hundred and seven medical students (114 female/93 male) were checked for their refractive status as determined by cycloplegic autorefraction.
