Management of post operative seclusio pupil and corneal decompensation

Arjun Srirampur, MS, FRCS*; Kavya Reddy, MS; Aruna Kumari Gadde, MS; Sunny Manwani, DNB

    A 71 year old man presented with a history of cataract surgery in both eyes and gradual diminution of vision post surgery in right eye (RE) since 3 years. On examination RE showed corneal decompensation with seclusio pupillae with a small pupil and a posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL). He was diagnosed with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK). He underwent DSAEK (Descemet's stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty ) with synechiolysis and pupilloplasty. Graft lenticule was well attached to the host tissue with a vertically oval pupil and subsequent improvement of vision.


Radiation damaging effects on ocular tissues

Yuan-Hao Lee*; Randolph D Glickman

    The human eye, composed of specialized tissues, has unique functions to admit or receive certain wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. In order to integrate information from the entire visual field, visible light is collected and focused by the spherical lens onto retinal neurons. Excessive light exposure, however, not only mediates photoreceptor activation but also induces photodamage effects.


NO news is good news for eyes: A mini review

Mir JM*; Maurya RC*

    Nitric Oxide (NO) is a well known endogenous gasotransmitter with profound effects on mammalian physiology and also possesses major therapeutic implications. Despite the known toxicity of this molecule when present above the optimal concentration, plays key signaling and regulatory role in human life processes. From the literature survey it is evident that NO bears potential role almost in every system of human body. Among these systems nervous system has also been found linked with this molecule.


Clinical retrospective analysis of hospitalized patients with ocular trauma

Liang Liang*; Li Qin-Hua; Liang Li-Cheng

    Objective: To analyze the related factors of ocular trauma in ophthalmic inpatients and provide epidemiological data on local ocular trauma. Methods: 1137 cases of 1610 eyes with ocular trauma admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to December 2018 were selected for statistical analysis of general conditions, causes of injury, prognosis and complications.


The eye protection factor (EPF®): An improved solar UV rating system for sunglasses

Gary W Hall

    Background/aims: Serious eye diseases caused from exposure to solar radiation continue to be a global public health hazard. Within the electromagnetic spectrum, the ultraviolet (UV) band and some of visible light band (high energy visible (HEV) light) pose the greatest health hazard to the human eye from solar radiation exposure.


A Pictorial Study of How Spherical Aberration Affects Image Quality after LASIK

Raphael L Vazquez

    Spherical aberrations are known to increase after LASIK surgery. This can cause problems with the vision at night when the pupil size increases to adjust for the darkness. The purpose of this paper is to show through photographs how spherical aberrations affect image quality.


Crystals in the Eye

Vinit Shah*; Syed Mohideen Abdul Khadar; Shobita Nair

    A 48 years old female presented to us with defective vision in both the eyes since 1 year. Her BCVA in RE was 6/18 and in LE 6/9. Both eyes anterior segment examination was within normal limits and posterior segment showed glistening, yellow-white intraretinal crystals in the posterior pole, atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium & choroidal sclerosis.
