Methods: The study population consisted of 75 patients (age ranging from 6 to 82 years; mean age: 37.3 years) with conjunctivitis of suspected viral aetiology. Samples were obtained using a swab from the inferior palpebral conjunctiva of the affected individual using Dacron swabs placed immediately in a viral transport medium (VTM) and transported to a tertiary virology lab in Chennai, Tamil Nadu in cold chain for screening. All of the above samples were subjected to virus isolation using virus-susceptible cell lines as well as by molecular diagnosis of viruses such as herpes simplex virus, adenovirus, and enterovirus by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results: Among the samples obtained, viral aetiology was identified in 58.67% of conjunctivitis samples either by PCR or virus isolation. Among the virus-positive samples, adenovirus, enterovirus, and herpes simplex virus accounted for 40.91%, 31.81%, and 27.27%, respectively. Coexistence of viruses was observed in 18.18% of virus-positive patients. Conclusion: This study identifies adenovirus as the most common viral pathogen that caused conjunctivitis among the study patients followed by enterovirus and herpes simplex virus. More than one viral pathogen was identified in some of the conjunctivitis patients and this showed that the conjunctivitis in the study group was caused by coexistence of various viruses.","PeriodicalId":34180,"journal":{"name":"TNOA Journal of Ophthalmic Science and Research","volume":"61 1","pages":"51 - 56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42590128","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 major cause of preventable blindness in neonates. Aim: To study the relationship between postnatal weight gain and progression of stages in retinopathy of prematurity. To evaluate the at-risk infants by screening their postnatal weight at two weekly intervals and monitoring the progression in severity of retinopathy of prematurity. To compare the progression in severity of ROP between infants with adequate postnatal weight gain and inadequate weight gain. Methodology: This is a prospective and analytical study of a total of 78 infants satisfying the inclusion criteria. Results: Of the 78 babies thus studied, 40 had adequate weight gain and 38 had inadequate weight gain. Of the 78 babies thus studied 43 showed progressions in stages of ROP and 35 showed regressions in stages of ROP in the second visit compared to the first visit. 43 babies going in for progression in stages of ROP, birth weight and weight during four and six completed weeks of chronological age were compared ant it effectively showed that out of the 43 babies progressing in stages of ROP 15 had adequate weight gain and 28 had inadequate weight gain. Conclusion: Thus, even when the pathogenesis of retinopathy of prematurity leading to type II ROP has set in preterm infants, adequate weight gain which is a surrogate marker in identifying the levels of serum IGF-1 has halted the progression in development of ROP and even helped in regression of type II ROP.","PeriodicalId":34180,"journal":{"name":"TNOA Journal of Ophthalmic Science and Research","volume":"39 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":"136003205","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}

The clinic offers primary diagnostic procedures, diagnosis, and genetic counselling by well-trained Ophthalmologists, Optometrists, and clinical research coordinators. As we all know that the eye plays a vital role in human genomics. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), genetic eye disorders are one of the leading causes of visual impairment worldwide in adults as well as in infants.[1] Unlike any other organ of the body, direct visualization of genetic phenomena is possible in the eye. The primary concept of eye genetics and its application in routine ophthalmology practice is essential for a better understanding of the disease, appropriate diagnosis as well as genetic counselling, testing, and management.[2] In India, it has been reported that the baseline cause for most genetic eye disorders is consanguineous marriage. Awareness is the key factor in early diagnosis of genetic eye conditions as there is a lack of knowledge about genetic disorders in our country. Our aim is to disseminate the right information about inherited eye or retinal conditions and currently available treatment options to the community.[3] To bridge the gap of knowledge and awareness we must keep ourselves updated with the newer treatment approaches trending worldwide. In our Prof Dr N S Sundaram genetic eye clinic we provide the proper documentation of the clinical and family history of the patient. Family history is integral in identifying an individual’s risk for inherited diseases. A pedigree can be utilized for determining the inheritance patterns of the disease within a family. It shows a relationship between family members and indicates the inheritance of the disease from one generation to another. Diagnosis is made based on the symptomatology of the patient, visual acuity, examination of the eye, and the result of diagnostic procedures. The diagnostic equipment available at our place is optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the better evaluation of retinal diseases, a fundus camera for the documentation of the retinal condition, fundus fluorescence angiography, and a Humphrey visual field analyzer (HVF) for evaluating the field defects. Low vision aids trial is provided to improve the residual vision for the better living of patient. Low vision aids available at our place include a binocular and monocular telescope, max TV, spectacle magnifier, hand magnifier, bar magnifier, dome magnifier, signature or writing pad, and video magnifier. After making the best possible diagnosis, the clinic provides free genetic counseling and assistance to the family of the patient by a well-trained optometrist or clinical research coordinator. Education about the disease and trending treatment options are essential for the patient and their families for the betterment of the patient. The key is to have a well-developed clinical diagnosis before ordering a test and to interpret the re","PeriodicalId":34180,"journal":{"name":"TNOA Journal of Ophthalmic Science and Research","volume":"37 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":"136004707","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 aids in timely management of underlying systemic disorders and prevents not only the visual disability but also the complications of underlying disease. Many studies focus on individual aetiologies of optic neuropathy, but only few studies provide information about various aetiologies of optic neuropathy. Aim: To determine the clinical profile of patients diagnosed with optic neuropathy and to evaluate the varied aetiologies of optic neuropathies. Methodology: All clinically diagnosed patients of optic neuropathy with defective vision, visual field defect, colour vision defect and abnormal pupillary response attending the neurology and ophthalmology department in Thanjavur Medical College from January 2019 to May 2020 were taken up for the study. Results: Eighty-three patients of clinically diagnosed optic neuropathy, who presented at Thanjavur Medical College, were studied during the period of January 2019–May 2020. The most common aetiology of optic neuropathy was idiopathic optic neuritis followed by ischemic and traumatic optic neuropathy. Conclusion: This study addressed an increase in the incidence of traumatic and ischemic optic neuropathies when compared to other studies. Thus, ischemic and traumatic optic neuropathies need more attention for the future researches.","PeriodicalId":34180,"journal":{"name":"TNOA Journal of Ophthalmic Science and Research","volume":"68 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":"136003206","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}
