Pharmacological adjuvants for diabetic vitrectomy surgery.

Diabetic vitrectomy is a highly intricate surgical procedure performed during the advanced stages of diabetic retinopathy (DR). It is used to treat conditions such as tractional or combined retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, and subhyaloid hemorrhage, which are all severe manifestations of proliferative DR. The results of the surgery are uncertain and variable.

Unilateral anterior persistent fetal vasculature in a child with blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome: A surgical challenge.

Blepharophimosis-ptosis-epicanthus inversus syndrome (BPES) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease. It is clinically characterized by four major features; blepharophimosis, ptosis, epicanthus inversus, and telecanthus. We report a case of a 1-year-old female with BPES with unilateral anterior persistent fetal vasculature (PFV).

A truly knotless technique for scleral fixation of intraocular lenses: two-year results.

Scleral fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) is a safe and effective option for managing optical aphakia. Suture related complications like suture erosion, suture breakage, endophthalmitis, etc. are unique to SFIOL.

Functional involvement of cone photoreceptors in advanced glaucoma: a multifocal electroretinogram study.

The purpose of the study is (1) to demonstrate the anatomical variation of cone photoreceptor density across normal retina as a sectoral amplitude asymmetry of photopic multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) and (2) to study the potential presence of sequential or differential, functional cone photoreceptor damage in glaucoma using this amplitude asymmetry. A 37-Block scaled mfERG was recorded from 22 controls and 27 glaucoma subjects. The N1 and P1 amplitudes of averaged responses from corresponding zones nasal and temporal to fovea were analyzed for asymmetry in controls and glaucoma subjects.

Prospective, cross-sectional study, demonstrating efficacy of blue fixation target while recording Pattern Visual Evoked Potential in optic neuropathy.

To report the efficacy of a blue fixation target to record Pattern Visual Evoked Potential (PVEP) in optic neuropathy subjects with acquired red-green (RG) color vision deficit. This is a prospective, nonrandomized, cross-sectional, case series of twenty-nine eyes of twenty-two subjects with optic neuropathy of various etiologies. All underwent detailed ophthalmological evaluation, imaging, and PVEP.
