Sideways sculpting - A novel technique in eyes with posterior polar cataracts.

Posterior polar cataracts (PPCs) have long been a concern for cataract surgeons due to their natural proclivity for posterior capsule rupture. Although problems can be avoided, there is no surgical procedure that can completely eliminate the possibility of posterior capsular rupture. Research reports a higher percentage of capsule rupture and related complications post surgical intervention.

Use of cryopreserved donor corneal tissues first time in India for therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty during COVID-19 pandemic - A case series.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic caused restricted eye retrieval leading to acute scarcity of donor corneas. Nine patients with perforated corneas needed urgent donor tissues where we used 10 cryopreserved corneal tissues for therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (TPK). Repeat TPK was done in one eye for recurrence of infection.

Role of intravitreal bevacizumab in Eales disease with dense vitreous hemorrhage: a prospective randomized control study.

Purpose: To investigate the role of intravitreal bevacizumab in Eales disease with dense vitreous hemorrhage.

Methods: This is a prospective randomized control trial. Twenty eyes of 20 patients with dense vitreous hemorrhage because of Eales disease were randomly distributed in Group 1 (n = 10) and Group 2 (n = 10).

The safety and efficacy of passive removal of silicone oil with 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless system.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of passive removal of silicone oil with 23-gauge (G) transconjunctival sutureless system.

Methods: This is a single-center, prospective, interventional, randomized control study. Forty eyes of 40 patients were enrolled in this study and randomized into 2 groups.

Profile of asymmetrical retinopathy of prematurity in twins.

Background: In twin births, both babies have the same gestational age and pre-natal conditions. However, twins may develop a varied retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) course depending on birth weight and other systemic factors.

Objective: To study the profile of asymmetric ROP in twins

Design: Retrospective study.

Importance of the 'third criterion' for retinopathy of prematurity screening in developing countries.

Purpose: Developing countries often need a modification of the American screening guidelines for retinopathy of prematurity.

Methods: A total of 1,302 eyes in 651 infants with retinopathy of prematurity were analyzed by the parameters of gestational age and birth weight suggested by the American guidelines.

Results: With the use of current gestational age and birth weight guidelines, 86 of 1,302 eyes (6.

Intraoperative retinoscopy for intraocular lens power estimation in cases of combined phacoemulsification and silicone oil removal.

Purpose: To study the application of intraoperative retinoscopy for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation in combined cataract extraction and silicone oil removal.

Settings: Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.

Preferred clinical practice in convergence insufficiency in India: a survey.

Purpose: Convergence insufficiency (CI) is a common binocular vision disorder. However, there is a lack of consensus regarding the treatment most appropriate for CI. The aim of the study was to investigate the treatment for CI by surveying the ophthalmologists regarding the most common treatment modalities used in India.
