Accidental Self-Inflicted Handheld Laser-Induced Maculopathy.

Purpose: To report a case of accidental self-inflicted handheld Laser-Induced Maculopathy (HLIM).

Methods: Observational case report with clinical and ocular imaging features of a patient with HLIM.

Results: A 31-year-old male patient presented with sudden diminution of vision in both eyes after accidental exposure to a handheld green laser.

Cytomegalovirus retinitis in patients of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: clinical presentations and outcomes.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis in patients with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) can occur even in the presence of high CD 4 counts and can behave differently when compared to CMV retinitis in human immunodeficiency (HIV) patients. It, therefore, becomes important to understand its varied presentations and the challenges in management of these cases. The aim of this study was to analyse the various patterns of presentations and outcomes of CMV Retinitis in patients with NHL.

Radiation Retinopathy: Detection and Management Strategies.

A gradual shift in trend from primary enucleation to globe salvaging radiation therapy for the management of ocular tumors has resulted in the rise of several post-treatment ocular complications including radiation retinopathy. Radiation retinopathy is a chronic, progressive, and occlusive vasculopathy that can manifest anytime between 1 month to 15 years after starting radiation therapy. The aim of treatment in most of these cases is to prevent further vision loss.

Comparing clinical outcomes of macular hole surgeries performed by trainee surgeons using a 3D heads-up display viewing system versus a standard operating microscope.

Purpose: To compare the surgical outcomes of macular hole (MH) surgery performed by trainee surgeons using a three-dimensional heads-up display (3D HUD) versus a standard operating microscope (SOM).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of all consecutive medical records patients operated on for MHs by a trainee surgeon between 2017 and 2020 using either 3D HUD or SOM was performed. Minimum hole diameter, maximum hole diameter, total surgical time, and MH closure rates were compared between the two groups.

Cytomegalovirus retinitis in a patient of granulomatosis with polyangiitis on long-term immunosuppressants.

A 69-year-old male patient presented to the retina clinic with a sudden decrease in vision in his right eye since 1 day. He was a known case of granulomatosis with polyangiitis and was on systemic immunosuppression for the past 3 years. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in his right eye was 20/60 and he has no perception of light in the left eye.

Endoscopic visualization-assisted corneal bee sting removal.

Purpose: Deeply embedded corneal foreign bodies and intrastromal foreign body removal can often be a challenge. The aim of this report was to describe the utility of endoscopy in visualization and removal of an embedded corneal bee stinger.

Methods: A 44-year-old male patient developed toxic keratopathy after injury from a bee stinger.

Systemic immunosuppressive therapies for uveitis in developing countries.

There are multiple approaches to inhibit inflammatory molecules and pathways in noninfectious uveitis. The cornerstone of local and systemic anti-inflammatory treatment is corticosteroid therapy. Corticosteroids remain the most potent and efficacious drugs for treating intraocular inflammation.

Coats retinopathy with pachychoroid and central serous chorioretinopathy in the fellow eye.

A 37-year-old man presented with blurring of vision and scotoma in the left eye since last 2 weeks and has a history of poor vision in his right eye since childhood. On examination, his best corrected visual acuity in the right eye was counting finger 1 m and 20/20, N/12 in the left eye. Fundus examination revealed features of Coats disease in the right eye and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) in the left eye.
