Bilateral angle-closure attack in a COVID-19-positive patient.

Ophthalmic examination of a patient with active COVID-19 infection can be challenging. We describe a woman with active COVID-19 infection who was misdiagnosed initially as having conjunctivitis and later presented with acute angle-closure attack in both eyes. Intraocular pressure (IOP) on presentation was about 40 mmHg in both eyes.

Review of incidental ocular pathologies detected during the screening of retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants.

Aim: The aim of the study was to report the spectrum of ocular pathologies other than retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) occurring in preterm babies, suggesting the need for universal screening in all babies.

Methods: Babies born before 34 weeks of gestational age (GA) and/or weighing <2000 g were screened at around 4 weeks of postnatal age and those born before 28 weeks of GA and weighing <1200 g were examined at 2-3 weeks of postnatal age. Babies between 34 and 36 weeks of GA or birth weight of 1750-2000 g with additional risk factors were also screened.

Role of hyaluronidase as an adjuvant in local anesthesia for cataract surgery.

Cataract surgery ranks among the commonest procedures performed worldwide. Approximately 51% of blindness worldwide is related to cataracts, affecting about 65.2 million people worldwide and more so in developing countries.

Glued intraocular lens implantation for eyes with inadequate capsular support: Analysis of the postoperative visual outcome.

Aim: The aim of this study is to analyze the postoperative visual outcomes of fibrin glue-assisted, suture-less posterior chamber (PC) intraocular lens (IOL) implantation technique in eyes with inadequate capsule support at a tertiary eye care hospital in South India.

Setting And Design: This is a retrospective, nonrandomized case series.

Patients And Methods: This study analyzes 94 eyes which underwent PC-IOL implantation by fibrin glue-assisted, suture-less technique.

Clinical properties of a novel, glistening-free, single-piece, hydrophobic acrylic IOL.

A new, single-piece, hydrophobic acrylic lens - the first constructed with a lens optic and haptics comprised of a hydroxyethyl methacrylate-polyethylene glycol phenyl ether acrylate-styrene copolymer, cross-linked with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and labeled as "glistening-free" - was recently introduced globally. Glistenings have been a significant source of clinical concern with previous hydrophobic lens designs. This new monofocal lens provides enhanced, clear optics for lens-based surgery.
