However, the effect of different wavelengths and light exposure timing could harm the eye. The current study aims to measure light exposure and its correlation to the ocular surface.\u0000Study Design: Cross sectional observational.\u0000Place and Duration of Study: Qassim University, from March to September 2023.\u0000Methods: Light sensor buttons (RGB) were used in the current study (LYS technologies); 53 subjects were asked to wear them on the collar for one week, followed by a visit to the optometry clinic for an eye examination by bio-microscopy and Schirmer I test. Consequently, readings from Kerato-graph 5M were obtained. Lastly, participants were asked to fill out a validated Arabic OSDI questionnaire.\u0000Results: Results of the dry eye symptoms scale revealed that 24.5% had mild symptoms, and 20.8% of participants reported severe dry eye symptoms. A negative correlation between the Schirmer test and OSDI scores was found. Blue light exposure at night was negatively correlated to tear meniscus height (P <0.05). Moreover, tear meniscus height was lower in participants with higher exposure to the red component of light during the day and higher melanotic lux in the daytime (P<0.05). Tear breakup time was lower in patients exposed to higher melanopic lux during nighttime (p<0.05).\u0000Conclusion: Light exposure habits are associated with some dry eye parameters. Moreover, light at night, especially melanopic lux wave-length is a risk factor for developing dry eye disease.","PeriodicalId":169886,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"104 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141697247","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}

A semi structured questionnaire was used as a tool to collect the data. All patients aged 18 years and above were directly questioned. For patients below 18 years, responses were collected from the patients themselves when possible; otherwise, the accompanying parent provided the information. Age, gender, educational status and area of residence were recorded. The symptoms compelling the use of TEM/OTC or both, the source and type of medication, diagnosis and any complications that resulted due to self-medication were documented. Complete ocular examination was done. MS Excel was used to record and analyze data.\u0000Results: There were 48% males and 52% females. Rosewater was the most frequently used TEM by 54.7%. Steroids-antibiotic combination eyedrops/ointments were used by 31.6%. Symptoms for which self-medication was done, were redness (64.1%), watering (35.9%), itching (32.5%) and discharge (26.5%). Symptoms did not improve in 54.7%, 26.5% required ophthalmic consultation and only 18.8% had temporary relief.

We aimed to differentiate corneal thinnest point and central corneal thickness on basis of magnitude and location, and its relation to age, sex, laterality, spherical equivalent and astigmatism in myopes.\u0000Study Design: Correlational study.\u0000Place and Duration of Study: Hashmanis Hospital Karachi from March 2021 to May 2021.\u0000Methods: We enrolled 92 eyes (38 males, 54 females) of myopic adult patients from age 19-52 years. Pre-screening of myopes (-0.75DS to -8.00DS) included refraction, slit-lamp biomicroscopy and fundoscopy. Participants with ocular disease, previous ocular surgery, contact lens and history of any eye drops use were excluded from the study. Pentacam was used to determine CCT, thinnest corneal thickness (TCT) and vector location of TCT.\u0000Results: Majority (77%) of the eyes had myopic astigmatism whereas 23% had simple myopia. We found statistically significant difference between CCT and TCT. Inferotemporal and inferonasal displacements of TCT were noted. No difference was noted between TCT and its location among the two sexes. We observed that alteration among the CCT and TCT in both age groups was statistically significant.\u0000Conclusion: CCT and TCT are separate measurements and both are important since their magnitudes and locations might differ greatly especially with age. Both reading have significance in determining post-operative risk of corneal ectasia, assessment for refractive surgeries and early detection of ectatic conditions like keratoconus.","PeriodicalId":169886,"journal":{"name":"Pakistan Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"19 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141709459","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}

Group A comprised individuals who underwent PK with donor tissues stored for 8 to 14 days, while Group B consisted of patients whose donor tissues were stored for a duration not exceeding 7 days. Patients were followed up for three weeks post-operatively. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 19 and stratified for age, gender and primary graft failure. Post stratification RR was calculated with p-value ≤ 0.05 as significant.\u0000Results: The mean age of patients in Group A was 21.38 ± 6.29 years and in Group B was19.80 ± 5.81 years. In Group A there were 32 male and 28 female while in Group B there were 29 male and 31 female. In Group A 16(26.7%) patients and in group B, 4 (6.7%) patients had primary graft failure. The risk of primary graft failure was higher in Group A, with RR = 4, p-value < 0.05.\u0000Conclusion: The risk of primary graft failure in PK is higher when the storage time of corneal grafts is longer.
