Case report: A female child aged seven and a half years has been reported to have had reduced vision in her right eye since birth. Her vision was counting fingers; after pupillary dilation, her vision improved to 6/24. A supranasal incision in the cornea was constructed under general anesthesia with a keratome of 3.2 mm size. A dispersive viscoelastic substance was introduced into the anterior chamber. The strands were excised with an iris scissor from their junction at the collarette. The viscoelastic material was removed, and a suture was placed. The post-operative patient was treated with cycloplegic, moxifloxacin, and dexamethasone eye drops. The pre- and post-operative periods were uneventful. After one and a half months, the patient’s vision improved to 6/9 with a refraction +0.50 DS with +1.00 Cyl at 1100. Conclusion: Pupilloplasty with excision of iris strands of PPM is relatively a safe procedure and might improve visual acuity.","PeriodicalId":101752,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Current Research in Optometry and Ophthalmology","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135600490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: The medical records of 78 patients, who had cycloplegic correction for esotropia correction at the time of their first appointment, were thoroughly reviewed. The initial and latest visits’ cycloplegic refraction, deviation for distance and near with and without spectacles in place, stereoacuity, age of onset, management pattern, presence of anisometropia, and changes in hyperopia during the course of the research were among the factors examined. Results: The inclusion criteria were met by 78 participants in total. The mean age of participants was 5.3 ± 2.4 years. The average follow-up time was 3.1 years. Fully refractive accommodative esotropia was found in 89.74% of the patients. During the follow-up period, the mean cycloplegic refraction (diopters, spherical equivalent) remained steady. The average yearly change in refraction was 0.03 D in the right eye and 0.02 D in the left eye. Stereopsis was identified in 94.87% of patients on the first visit and improved on the second visit. Conclusion: Current management techniques for this condition result in a considerable reduction in amblyopia prevalence when compared to the prevalence upon presentation. The degree of hyperopia, on the other hand, remains unchanged, with little hope of becoming free of spectacles. It should be noted that long-term full-time spectacle use may affect emmetropization. It is likely that children will be prone to remain hyperopic.","PeriodicalId":101752,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Current Research in Optometry and Ophthalmology","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135009034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Every year worldwide newly detected cases are about 8000 and in India about 1400. It represents 11% of cancer that develop in the first year of life. Current revolutionary management strategy has increased the survival rate of retinoblastoma above 95% in developed country and it is the highest among all pediatric cancer. But still it is a deadly cancer worldwide. Survival from retinoblastoma based on income >90% vs 40% (in high to low income countries). Occurrence of metastases is higher in low-income countries (32% vs 12% in middle-income). Forty three (43%) of global burden lives in 6 countries of Asia (India, China, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh & Philippines). Mortality rate varies in different continents. An estimated worldwide death rate is more than 40% and most of them from Asia and Africa. Bangladesh is one of the developing countries of the South- East Asia region and retinoblastoma constitutes 83% of all pediatric cancer bellow 4 years of age. For proper management of retinoblastoma with an international standard, establishment of retinoblastoma center consisting of Ocular oncologist, Clinical oncologist, Radiation oncologist, Pediatrician, Oculoplastic surgeon, Retina specialist, Pediatric ophthalmologist, and Ocularist is needed. Management include proper diagnosis, treatment of the disease, genetic counseling, regular follow up, rehabilitation of survivor and screening of sibling.

Radiation-induced dry eye disease is a relatively unexplored domain of this disease. Aim: To explore the various factors contributing to dry eye disease in patients receiving radiation therapy for head and neck malignancies with a fixed dose and duration of radiotherapy. Settings and design: A cross-sectional study conducted at a tertiary healthcare centre during a period of 1 year. Method and material: The study included 101 patients with head and neck malignancies who received a 60-Gray (Gy) dose of radiotherapy over a duration of 30 weeks. Patients were evaluated for signs and symptoms of dry eye on day 30 after completing their radiotherapy cycles using slit lamp biomicroscopy and various other tests for dry eye and compared with age, gender, location of malignancy, and adjunctive chemotherapy. Results: Out of a total of 101 patients, 45% had mild dry eye disease. 44–45% of mild dry eye disease was seen in the age groups of 20–50 and 51–80 years. The incidence of mild-to-moderate dry eye disease was almost similar (47% and 50 %) in both genders. The incidence of severe dry eye was seen in only 1% of patients. Dry eye disease was more severe in malignancies located closer to the orbit. The use of cisplatin as an adjunctive chemotherapy agent proved to be a risk factor for dry eye disease. Conclusion: Intensity-modulated radiotherapy is not enough to prevent the development of dry eye disease. A close and strict follow-up with an opthalmologist is essential for its prevention and early management.","PeriodicalId":101752,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Current Research in Optometry and Ophthalmology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131693109","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tumor was classified based on IIRC (International Intraocular Retinoblastoma Classification) for intraocular tumor and IRSS (International Retinoblastoma Staging System) for extraocular tumor by reviewing the data revealed from EUA, imaging and histopathology.
