With the increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, it has become common for patients to be on different classes of anticoagulant medications. The blood-thinning characteristic of these drugs makes them essential for the management of long-term comorbidities, but it also raises the possibility of hemorrhagic com …
Brittle cornea syndrome (BCS) is a connective tissue disorder with a vast majority of clinical presentations and prognostic outcomes. This case series highlights various ocular presentations, their responses to treatment strategies, and final visual outcomes. It was an observational case series at a tertiary eye care c …
We report the adjuvant role of oral doxycycline therapy for the management of early bleb leaks post mitomycin-augmented trabeculectomy. Two glaucoma patients, who underwent trabeculectomy with mitomycin C, presented with a low intraocular pressure (IOP) in the early postoperative period. Both patients had moderately el …
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) in diabetic retinopathy patients using Heidelberg retinal tomography III (HRT). Subjects and methods: A total of 90 eyes of 90 consecutive newly diagnosed patients with diabetic retinopathy (nonproliferative diabetic retinopa …
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effect of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) on the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Methods: This was a prospective longitudinal cohort study examining 42 eyes of 42 patients with PDR undergoing PRP. Peripapil …
We describe a novel technique to bleb needling by injecting subconjunctival ologen through an intraocular lens (IOL) delivery system to modulate wound healing in a failing filter. Bleb needling with 26G needle was performed, followed by subconjunctival injection of a biodegradable collagen implant using an IOL delivery …
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of phacoemulsification cataract extraction on measurement of retinal nerve fiber layer and optic nerve head parameters using spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Material and methods: A prospective, hospital-based study of 100 patients of 40 years o …
Unlabelled: Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a noninvasive imaging modality that uses low-coherence light to obtain a high-resolution cross-section of biological structures, has evolved dramatically over the years. The Swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) makes use of a single detector with a rapidly tunable laser as a light s …
