This was an observational, cross-sectional study conducted at a tertiary eye care center in western-Maharashtra from March 2019 to February 2020. One hundred fifty-two cases of VKC were identified by history, characteristic symptomatology, and slit-lamp examination. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 for Windows was used. The relationship of extent of pigmentation with severity and duration of the disease was analyzed using Chi-squared test. A P value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Out of 152 cases, 79.61% were males. The mean age at presentation was 11.4 ± 5.62 years. A majority (38.82%) reported in the months of May–June. Most of them had mixed form followed closely by palpebral form. The most common symptom was itching. However, complications like focal-limbal stem-cell deficiency and shield-ulcer were seen in a few cases. Notably, the characteristic perilimbal-bulbar pigmentation was noted in 81 cases (53.29%; 95% CI 45.03%–61.42%; P < 0.0001), of which 15 had pigmentation in all the four quadrants (P = 0.0033). The extent of pigmentation corelated significantly with the severity of the disease (P < 0.0001). However, it did not correlate with the duration of the disease (P = 0.0794). Studies on VKC in India provide limited epidemiological data, and there has been no significant series that has explained its clinical pattern in the western part of the country. The presence of perilimbal pigmentation may be a diagnostic sign in mild VKC when signs and symptoms are subtle. This knowledge will help in early diagnosis and management and thus, help prevent sight-threatening complications of VKC.","PeriodicalId":32483,"journal":{"name":"Kerala Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70824063","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}

Materials and Methods: It is a prospective, observational study involving 100 patients at a tertiary health-care institute. Type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) were enrolled. Those with uncontrolled hypertension, history of other ocular diseases, or surgeries were excluded. DN was defined as – microalbuminuria, macroproteinuria, and massive proteinuria based on 24-h urine protein analyser values. Participants underwent complete ophthalmic examination with fundus examination, fundus fluorescein angiography, and optical coherence tomography and were graded into various stages of diabetic retinopathy. The influence of nephropathy on retinal changes was assessed using Pearson's correlation analysis. Results: The study population included those with a median age of 56 years (range 38–79 years). In the group with microalbuminuria, 10 (62%) eyes did not have any retinopathy changes. In the macroproteinuria group, 61 (53%) showed mild-to-moderate nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). In addition, 30 eyes of patients (48%) with massive proteinuria had PDR which were all statistically significant. Also in 32 eyes (16%) of DN patients, clinically significant macular edema was present, most of which, i.e., 24 (75%), were in the macroproteinuria group. Conclusions: These findings indicated that the severity of proteinuria was significantly associated with fundus changes in Type 2 diabetic patients. Thus, we conclude that DN is a marker of retinopathy and timely ophthalmic evaluation of patients should be done.","PeriodicalId":32483,"journal":{"name":"Kerala Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"34 1","pages":"245 - 249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44808799","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 investigates an intravitreal dexamethasone implant (ozurdex), its efficacy, and complications in patients of retinal venous occlusion. Methods: A prospective, interventional study involving 30 patients with retinal venous occlusion. Patients diagnosed with RVO who had vision loss of at least two lines on Snellen's chart and increased central macular thickness (CMT) on OCT were included in the study. All the parameters such as best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), CMT, and intraocular pressure (IOP) were noted at baseline for the affected eye. The patients were followed up at 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months following the implant. Result: Baseline parameters were comparable between the groups. Eyes receiving the implant had a statistically significant improvement (P < 0.001) in BCVA on the Snellen chart over the 3 months. There was also a constant decrease in macular edema and the mean difference value of CMT between baseline and 1 month, 2 months, and 3months were also found to be statistically significant. Also, a comparison of IOP between two-time points was done, between baseline and 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and the mean difference value in IOP was also found to be significant but clinically well within the normal physiological range. Conclusion: The study concluded that an intravitreal dexamethasone implant is an effective treatment for retinal venous occlusion, and it has a statistically significant and clinically meaningful effect on BCVA and CMT. However, it may be associated with a significant rise in IOP but it is well within the physiological range.","PeriodicalId":32483,"journal":{"name":"Kerala Journal of Ophthalmology","volume":"34 1","pages":"234 - 239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49478685","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}
