Method: This study was both prospective and uncontrolled; it included 60 patients who suffered from inferior oblique overaction. The participants were divided into two groups: Group A had 30 patients with vertically incomitant horizontal strabismus while group B had 30 patients with dissociated vertical deviation. Preoperative examination included: Assessment of vision, ductions and versions in the six cardinal directions of gaze and severity of IOOA graded from 0 to +4. The percentage of dissociated vertical deviation was measured using the prism under cover test in primary position. Follow-up visits occurred in the following intervals: After one week, one month, four months, and six months respectively. In each follow-up visit, the measurements of ductions, versions, and alignment in primary position were recorded. Results: Group A showed no pattern in 93.3% of cases postoperatively while 6.7% of cases developed insignificant V pattern (0.8 ± 2.9 ΔD), with statistically significant difference between the pre-and post-operative values (pvalue< 0.001). Meanwhile, group B showed a complete resolution of DVD in 100% of cases with preoperative (DVD<15 ΔD) and in 20% of cases with preoperative DVD ≥ 15 ΔD; the remaining cases had residual DVD (3.6 ± 4.1 ΔD). Conclusion: Anterior-nasal transposition of the Inferior Oblique muscle is an effective procedure for cases with severe or recurrent inferior oblique overaction when other standard procedures of Inferior Oblique muscle fail. For DVD ≥ 15 ΔD, we recommend a combined anterior-nasal transposition of inferior oblique with superior rectus recession.","PeriodicalId":15372,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology","volume":"138 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86269375","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}

Both SICS & Phacoemulsification surgery are performed in a limited, confined space; however, securing adequate surgical space during cataract surgery can decrease the risk of corneal endothelial cell loss.1 Thus, anatomical and surgical factors, such as adequate Anterior Chamber Depth (ACD), are important for preserving these cells from the mechanical and thermal damage that can occur during the procedure. Under normal circumstances, corneal endothelial cells do not proliferate because they are stuck in G1 phase of cell cycle. The central corneal endothelial cell density gradually decreases at an average of about 0.6% per year, reducing approximately from 3400 cells/mm2 at age 15 to 2300 cells at age 80 years. Two important factors in maintaining corneal transparency are the number and the integrity of the corneal endothelial cells.3 Corneas with cell densities as low as 500 cells/mm2 and average cell area of approximately 2000-3000 μm2 can remain clear. Protection of corneal endothelium during cataract surgery is critical for achieving good visual outcomes. Objectives: To study the endothelial cell loss in SICS and Phacoemulsification and compare the cell loss between two surgeries and to compare morphological and functional changes in corneal endothelium between the two surgeries. Materials and methods: A comparative prospective study is performed in 200 eyes of 200 patients attending DBCS Camp at Babuji Eye Hospital and Chigateri General Hospital attached to JJM Medical College Hospital, Davanagere from July 2018 to October 2019 for cataract surgery. Patients were randomly allocated to two groups. One group underwent small incision cataract surgery and the other group underwent phacoemulsification. Corneal endothelial assessment was done for patients undergoing both the surgeries using non-contact specular microscopy Tomey EM 3000 preoperatively and postoperatively at 1 week and 6 weeks. Results: In SICS group, corneal endothelial count was 2303.0 ± 329.1 preoperatively, postoperatively it was reduced to 2068.9 ± 381.1 at 1 week and 1980.3 ± 401.5 at 6 weeks. In phacoemulsification group, it was found to be 2213.9 ± 442.3 preoperatively and which reduced to 1878.7 ± 458.3 at 1 week and 1796.4 ± 467.3 at 6 weeks postoperatively. Cases in SICS group showed 10.2% loss at 1 week and 14% cell loss at 6 weeks while phacoemulsification group showed 15.1% cell loss at 1 week and 18.9% cell loss at 6 weeks. Polymegathism was increased in both the groups while hexagonality was decreased in both groups. No significant difference in functional parameters like central corneal thickness (CCT) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was observed in both SICS and Phacoemulsification group at the end of 6 weeks.

We present a case of epibulbar seeding of uveal MALT lymphoma following vitrectomy. Observations: A 67-year-old male presented with painless loss of vision of the left eye and creamy yellow infiltrates at the level of the choroid. A diagnostic 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy was performed using a standard 3-port approach. Choroidal biopsy of the lesion demonstrated the presence of Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) lymphoma. Three weeks following vitrectomy, the patient developed a large fleshy subconjunctival mass centered over the prior superonasal sclerotomy site. The lesion was completely excised and histopathology of the lesion demonstrated MALT lymphoma with an identical immunohistochemical staining pattern to that of the choroidal lesion. Conclusions and Importance: Transvitreal biopsy with fine needle aspiration or vitrectomy is an increasingly common and safe procedure for clinical diagnosis of intraocular tumors. However, there is a risk of tumor seeding of the needle tract and precautions to reduce this risk are warranted.","PeriodicalId":15372,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology","volume":"54 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86742268","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: 112 eyes of 105 patients that underwent SFIOL or IFIOL at the Kaplan Medical Center between 2008 and 2018 were retrospectively included, 73 eyes had SFIOL and 39 eyes had IFIOL. The main outcome measures were: operation time, postoperative visual acuity and intra and post-operative complications. Results: There was no significant difference in the mean operation time between SFIOL and IFIOL.

In many developing countries, their treatment present huge challenges, often due to increased resistance to anti-bacterial drugs, costs and accessibility issues. Bee bread is a valuable apitherapeutic product greatly appreciated by the natural medicine because of its potential medical and nutritional applications. In this study, we investigated the pharmacological effect of extract from M. ferriguinea on chemical-induced and bacterial-infected corneal ulceration of rabbit’s eyes. Method: A randomized-controlled experiment, was conducted on 15 New Zealand rabbits weighing 1.4 ± 0.42 kgrandomly assigned to 3 groups; A (Experimental group), B (Positive Control group) and C (Negative control group) of five animals each. All rabbits were adapted for 2 weeks. The right eye corneas were then injured using a drop of 1 Molar sodium hydroxide (NaOH). After 12 hours, animals in all groups in their injured corneas were infected with 1 drop of a laboratory prepared solution of P Aeruginosa. Treatment with extracts of M. ferriguinea-groups A group B treated with ciprofloxacin then group C treated with atropine alone commenced after 24 hours and continued every 4 hours for 7 days. Results: Although the mean healing effect of extracts of M. ferriguinea was not significantly (p>0.05) better after the 168th hour of treatment compared to its effect after the 24th hour, the effect size however, was clinical significant (57%). Furthermore, we found no significant difference (p>0.05) between the mean healing effects of the standard treatment protocol and the extracts of M. ferriguinea, but the standard treatment protocol showed a better clinical effect (33%) over the experimental extract. Also, the healing effects of atropine alone showed a better clinical effect (22%) than that of the experimental extract, but again, these were not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: Extracts of M. ferriguinea shows anti-inflammatory and anti-infective effects on chemical-induced and bacterial-infected corneal ulcers in rabbit ’s eyes. We found these effects to be comparable to that of standard treatment protocol for bacterial corneal ulcers. We thus conclude that in resource-constrained areas where M. ferriguinea is richly available, their extracts may provide alternative and/or complementary treatment option for chemical-induced and bacterial-infected corneal ulcers.","PeriodicalId":15372,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86706418","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: Patients received SLT as primary, adjunctive or replacement therapy. Data were recorded up to 5.5 years after SLT treatment. Target pressure was defined as intraocular pressure at least 20% lowered. On exceeding the target pressure, patients received a second SLT. Primary outcome were the need and the time to redo the SLT. We examined differences between the groups (primary, replacement or adjunct SLT) and correlations between time and need to redo and pre-SLT parameters.

The aim of the current study was to examine whether damage to this part of the retinal tissue can affect the growth and function of the eye during development. Methods: We had two groups of domestic fowl chicks. One group was normal (N) and the other had a laser burn on 10% of the nasal retinal area of one eye. The optical components of the eye were examined by retinoscopy while physical measurements were made using ultrasonography and micrometry. The function of the retina was examined by standard flash ERG test. There were no differences in the refractive and the ultrasonographic results between the two groups. Results: The experimental group (right eye) showed a significant decrease in the amplitude and the latency results of both a and b wave compared to the other eye (left) and to the control group. However, there were no differences in the refractive and the ultrasonographic results between the two groups. Conclusion: This study found that the ERG in damaged eye was significantly affected by the laser as compared to that of control eye, while there was no difference in the refractive status and growth between the experimental and control groups.
