Simple excision was performed followed by closure of the bare sclera by conjunctival autograft by the known method of fibrin glue in 30 eyes (Group A) versus autologous serum (Group B). During follow-up of 3 months, the eyes were assessed in comprehensive manner on postop day one, one month and third month. Outcome measures were assessed by cosmesis, operative time, postoperative recovery, graft inflammation, sub-conjunctival haemorrhage [SCH], Graft stability and recurrence. Average operative time in group A and group B were 18 minutes and 27 minutes respectively. Postoperative findings like graft oedema in conjunctival inflammation were more or less similar in both groups. In terms of graft stability, there were 1 (3.3%) graft loss in group A versus 2 (6.7%) graft loss. 2 (6.7%) partial displacements seen in group A whereas 4 (13.3%) partial displacements in group B. Most common finding in group B was SCH which made poor cosmesis but it lasted 2-3 weeks. There was one granuloma in group A. Both groups had same recurrence rate of 6.7%. Also graft retraction seen in 2 eyes each in either group. Autologous serum glue method is safe, efficacious and cost effective yet not commonly performed. As per our study, this method is associated with less postoperative discomfort with success rates that are comparable to fibrin glue.","PeriodicalId":14021,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Ophthalmology","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83974159","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}

It is a degenerative condition of conjunctiva. This is a prospective and comparative study to assess the outcome of the pterygium surgery by conjunctival limbal autograft with suture and autologous blood. Material and Methods: A prospective and comparative study of patients with primary pterygium attending ophthalmology outpatient department in our tertiary care hospital. Patients are divided into two groups randomly. Group 1 month, 3 months and 6 months postoperatively. On each visit graft retraction, graft displacement, inflammatory reaction, recurrence of pterygium and comfort of the patient were noted. All two groups were compared in terms of surgical time, postoperative discomfort and recurrence. Results: The age was comparable between the groups. The Conjunctival limbal autograft with suture had a mean age of 45.38±11.23 years and conjunctival limbal autograft with autologous blood group had a mean age of 43.38±8.09 years. The surgical time was highest among Group 1. Conjunctival limbal autograft with suture had a mean surgical time of 43.06±2.11 minutes and conjunctival limbal autograft with autologous blood group had a mean surgical time of 29.50±2.68 minutes. Among conjunctival limbal autograft with suture recurrence was present among 6.3% on POD 180. Conclusion : Concluding the study of comparison between two techniques of pterygium surgery, autologous blood procedure is time and cost effective with less postoperative discomfort. No recurrence was found in the autologous group in comparison to conjunctival limbal autograft with sutures. However beneficial the autologous blood procedure is, the complication of postoperative graft displacement arises, which is not found in conjunctival limbal autograft with sutures.","PeriodicalId":14021,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Ophthalmology","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91163003","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}

This study is conducted to find the prevalence of dry disease in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus and to find the correlation between glycemic control and prevalence of dry eye. Material and Methods: A total of 130 patients fulfilled the criteria and total 200 eyes are included in the study. Type II diabetic patients diagnosed by the American Diabetes Associations criteria. The duration of diabetes, fasting and post-prandial blood sugar and Hb1Ac values were recorded. A complete ocular examination of the lid margins, conjunctiva, cornea and tear film was done. Examination of fundus was done to access the grade of diabetic retinopathy in the patients. Relevant examination of other important ocular structures was done. Following this, tests to diagnose dry eye were performed. These are tear break up time (TBUT), ocular surface staining by Rose Bengal and fluorescein staining, Schirmer’s tests and conjunctival impression cytology. Diagnosis of dry eye was made if OSDI Score was more than 12 with one of the positive specific tests for dry eye. Results: Prevalence of dry eye in diabetes in males and females were comparable to each other that are 44.99% and 54.01%. A statistically significant co-relation was found on comparing between Schirmer score of that eye and HbA1c level of that individual. All the patient with severe NPDR and PDR had Schirmer score of below 5 mm. Our study found that with increased duration of diabetes, the chance of developing dry eye increases, and poor glycemic control increases the severity of dry eye. The severity of diabetes has a positive correlation with goblet cell loss and morphological changes in conjunctival impression cytology. Conclusion: Significant correlation between the prevalence of dry eye in the diabetic patient which shows poor glycemic control is directly related to dry eye. This study reveals that attention should also be paid on dry eye, particularly among patients suffering from DM when they are concerned about diabetic retinopathy.","PeriodicalId":14021,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Ophthalmology","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83575024","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}

There is a paucity of data available in the published literature on the prevalence of retinal changes in PIH from India. Aim: The purpose of the present study was to find the prevalence of retinal changes in PIH and the association between the retinal changes and severity of PIH. Materials and Methods: 350 women with gestational ages between 20 and 40 weeks admitted in the maternity ward in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sevagram, Wardha between November 2017 and November 2019 with features of PIH both asymptomatic and symptomatic were included in this cross-sectional study. Age, parity, gestational period, blood pressure and proteinuria of the patients were documented. Fundus examination was done to find the retinal changes (hypertensive retinopathy) according to Keith Wagener classification. Comparison of the distribution of categorical variables was done using Fisher’s exact test. Results: Of 350 patients, 218 (62.3%), 92 (26.3%), 34 (9.7%), 5 (1.4%) and 1 (0.3%) had normal, Grade I, Grade II, Grade III and Grade IV fundus changes respectively.
