Article Synopsis
- Proboscis lateralis (PL) is a rare craniofacial congenital malformation that presents various ophthalmic issues, but there hasn't been a focused study on these eye-related conditions until now.
- The study analyzed data from 100 subjects and found that the most common eye features in PL include eyelid and iris colobomas, hypertelorism, and abnormalities in the lacrimal system.
- A strong link was established between brain abnormalities and specific eye issues like hypertelorism and micro-anophthalmia, suggesting that associated congenital deformities significantly affect ocular anomalies in PL cases.
Epidemiology, clinical profile, management, and outcome of COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis in 2826 patients in India - Collaborative OPAI-IJO Study on Mucormycosis in COVID-19 (COSMIC), Report 1.

Department of Ophthalmology, Mahatma Gandhi Mission Medical College and Hospital, Aurangabad, Maharashtra, India.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on COVID-19-associated rhino-orbital-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) in India, examining patient demographics, risk factors, symptoms, and management outcomes during the pandemic's second wave.
- Key findings revealed that 78% of patients had diabetes and a majority required oxygen support; most cases showed ROCM symptoms within 10-15 days post-COVID diagnosis.
- Final outcomes indicated a 14% mortality rate, significantly reduced through surgical interventions, highlighting the role of corticosteroids and diabetes as major contributors to ROCM development.

Eye and Retina Speciality Hospital, Tirupur, India.
Purpose: To demonstrate the use of an air bubble in infusion to ascertain infusion tip (IT) positioning before commencing vitreoretinal surgery (VRS) in eyes with media opacities.
Methods: Twenty-four eyes were studied. An air bubble was introduced into the IT by manually expelling fluid from the distal end of the IT.
