Objective: To measure the mean total macular volume (MTMV) in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) patients using optical coherence tomography (OCT).
Methods: This descriptive cross sectional study was carried out in the department of ophthalmology, Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur from October 2021 to April 2022. A total of 30 patients with POAG, of either gender, between the ages of 20-60 years were included.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of modified combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy (CTT) with mitomycin-C (MMC) versus conventional CTT with MMC in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG).
- Conducted at The Institute of Ophthalmology, Lahore, from January 2018 to June 2019, the study included 70 patients aged 0 to 10 years, split into two groups for different surgical procedures.
- Results showed that while both procedures reduced IOP, conventional CTT with MMC was more effective, achieving a success rate of 71.4% compared to 40% for modified CTT.
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of reduced visual acuity (VA), refractive errors (RE), reduced contrast sensitivity and strabismus in developmentally delayed (DD) patients.
Methods: This descriptive cross sectional study was carried out in Ophthalmology Departments of Mayo Hospital, Lahore, The Children's Hospital, Lahore and The Children's Hospital, Multan from June 2019 to December 2019. We recruited 257 patients of either gender, between the ages of 06-16 years having intelligence quotient (IQ) ≤ 80 by Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) from the out-patient departments.
Objectives: To examine whether Ephrin type A receptor 2 gene polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to age-related cataract.
Methods: The case-control study was conducted from January to May 2014 in Multan, Pakistan, and comprised patients of age-related cataract enrolled from Nishtar Hospital, Multan, and age-matched healthy controls without any type of cataract from the local population. A questionnaire was used to gather clinical and epidemiological data.
