Four-port bimanual phaco-chop fragmentation for dropped nucleus using standard phaco chopper and assistant handheld 23G endoilluminator

Purpose: To describe a bimanual method for management of posteriorly dislocated large nucleus fragment using standard chopper. Methods: A 23G assistant handheld endoilluminator was used as light source through inferonasal self-sealing port, while the large nuclear fragment was broken into smaller fragments using phacof …

Early visual and clinical outcomes of transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy versus transepithelial keratectomy with smart pulse technology for myopia

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare early visual outcomes, epithelial healing, and stromal haze between transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (Trans-PRK) using smart pulse technology (SPT) with traditional Trans-PRK. Methodology: This study is a retrospective, comparative study conducted at a privat …

Microbial keratitis at a single tertiary eye care in Andhra Pradesh: A 12-year analysis of microbiological profile and in vitro susceptibility of bacterial isolates

Context: Microbial keratitis is a potentially vision-threatening emergency that demands prompt diagnosis and treatment to ensure better vision recovery.

Managing surgical aphakia and posterior capsular rupture with suture-assisted intraocular lens implantation

Objective: This study aims to describe a novel technique for implanting an intraocular lens (IOL) in the sulcus using a 10-0 nylon suture in cases of intraoperative posterior capsular rupture (PCR) with inadequate capsular support, anterior capsular extension during continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis extending to th …

Lacrimal irrigation before intraocular surgery: Where are we today?

Branch retinal artery occlusion in a young patient with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser type 2 syndrome

Retinal vascular occlusions are rare in young people, and any occlusion warrants an extensive clinical evaluation to establish the etiology. Cardiac malformations are a source of embolism. We present a case of atrial septal defect (ASD) in a patient with type II Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser syndrome, leading to unila …

Foveal adhesion of a dexamethasone implant: Evaluation and follow-up via multimodal imaging

An update of multimodal imaging in white dot syndrome

The white dot syndromes are a group of phenotypically similar disorders characterized by multiple lesions at the level of the outer retina, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid. Common white dot syndromes whose imaging modalities have been described in this article are multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute p …
