AIM To study the clinical profile and outcomes of pediatric endogenous endophthalmitis from a tertiary eye hospital in South India. METHODS A total of 13 eyes of 11 children presented to us with varied symptoms and presentations of endogenous endophthalmitis, over a five-year period from January 2010 to December 2015 were studied. Except for two eyes of a patient, vitreous aspirates were cult...

OBJECTIVE To show an artifact related to color Doppler flow imaging of the orbit. METHODS Three patients with strongly reflective structures in the orbit were selected from those routinely referred by clinicians for color Doppler ultrasonography of the orbit. Gray scale and color flow images were obtained with a 7.5-MHz linear array probe for a region with strongly reflective structures. A sp...

BACKGROUND Inflammatory glaucoma is still a diagnostic and therapeutic dilemma and surgical intervention is always associated with a high risk of failure or reactivation of the inflammatory disease. In this study we prospectively examined the value of transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation (TDLC) for the treatment of refractory inflammatory glaucoma. METHODS 22 eyes of 20 consecutive ...

BACKGROUND Endophthalmitis caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is a rare condition seen after surgery and trauma. This study reports a retrospective, consecutive, non-comparative case series of 5 patients referred to L. V. Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, and diagnosed with culture-proven NTM endophthalmitis between January 2004 and April 2015. Data collected included demographic infor...

Purpose: To present the new IRIDEX MicroPulse P3 (MP3) technology in patients with refractory glaucoma and our preliminary results at 1 week and 1 month postoperatively. Methods: IRIDEX MP3 laser cyclophotocoagulation was performed in 7 eyes of 7 patients under retrobulbar anaesthesia with lidocaine 2% in the operating room. Each eye received two treatments of 80-90s over the superior and infer...

We retrospectively reviewed the first 24 patients (26 eyes) who underwent ab externo diode laser cyclodestruction for refractory glaucoma and who had a follow-up of at least 10 months. We compared the intraocular pressure (IOP) and the number of antiglaucomatous medications used pre- and postoperatively. The mean follow-up period was 28 months (range 10 to 50 months). The mean IOP before and af...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristic and visual outcome of siderosis bulbi with retained intraocular foreign body (IOFB) and to validate the predictive value of the Ocular Trauma Score (OTS) in siderosis bulbi. Certain numerical values rendered to the OTS variables at present were summated (Table 1) and converted into 5 OTS categories as performed in the OTS ...

purpose : to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pars plana ahmed valve implant combined with pars plana vitrectomy and endolaser photocoagulation for the treatment of neovascular glaucoma in patients with vitreous hemorrhage. methods : retrospectively, we evaluated the records of 18 eyes of 17 consecutive neovascular glaucoma patients who had undergone pars plana vitrectomy and pars plana ahme...
