Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of 20 gauge vitrectomy via corneal approach for the management of congenital cataract.
Method: We performed anterior capsular vitreorhexis, lens matter aspiration (LMA), primary posterior vitrectorhexis and anterior vitrectomy via corneal approach using 20 gauge vitrectomy system in children younger than two years of age with congenital cataract between January 2014 to December 2014. The intra and postoperative complications were observed.
Results: Twenty nine eyes of 21 children were included in this study. Congenital cataract surgery using 20 gauge vitrectomy system via corneal approach did not reveal any intra operative complication. Post operatively all children were able to freely open their operated eyes. Conjunctival congestion at the incision site in four eyes and mild anterior chamber reaction in 8 eyes were seen on 1(st) daywhich resolved at one week follow up. Other major post operative complications such as inflammatory membrane, irregular pupil, posterior/anterior syneache and opacification of visual axis were not seen during follow up period.
Conclusion: The 20-gauge vitrectomy system via corneal approach is easy to perform, is less time consuming, safe and effective for the management of congenital cataract in younger children.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of Xen 45 gel stent implantation surgery (Ab externo, open conjunctiva) with those of trabeculectomy.
Method: We retrospectively reviewed electronic medical record of 57patients (62eyes) treated with Xen implantation surgery (ab externo, open conjunctiva approach) between April 1st, 2021 and July 31st, 2023 by the same surgeon. Preoperative clinical data including intraocular pressure, the number of glaucoma medications, visual acuity were collected from 1 day to 12 months postoperatively.

Ocular drug-delivery is one of the most challenging areas owing to nature of ocular tissues. Various nanoformulations have been designed and investigated for drug-delivery to achieve high drug bioavailability. The major focus of preparations available in market is to utilize nanomaterial as drug-carrier, with less focus on developing functional-nanomaterials, which is a key knowledge gap in the field.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is characterized by elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels due to genetic mutations, presenting with xanthomas, corneal arch, and severe cardiovascular diseases. Early identification, diagnosis, and treatment are crucial to prevent severe complications like acute myocardial infarction. Statins are the primary treatment, supplemented by Ezetimibe and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitors, though their effectiveness can be limited in severe cases.
