: To record the resistivity index (RI), peak systolic velocity (PSV) and end-diastolic velocity (EDV) in the retrobulbar circulation and predict the progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR). : Forty patients with type 2 diabetes (DM) and forty non-diabetics patients attending the outpatient clinic for an eye examination were enrolled after informed consent. All study participants underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination including dilated fundoscopy. The diabetic patients were assigned to groups based on ETDRS grading of diabetic retinopathy. Color Doppler of the eye was performed on all the enrolled individuals. The peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), and resistivity index readings were recorded from the ophthalmic artery(OA), central retinal artery (CRA), and the posterior ciliary artery (PCA). : The values acquired from OA showed a significant increase in RI and a significant decrease in PSV and EDV with the advancement of DR. The parameters PSV and EDV recorded from CRA, as were also decreased DR progressed. This decrease was clinically significant RI index recorded from CRA first displayed a rise with the appearance of DR and a notable decline from severe NPDR to PDR. As DR progressed, PCA parameters revealed a decrease in PSV and EDV and RI. Significant changes in the resistivity index and flow velocities were observed in the retrobulbar vessels of the two groups. In this study, the results of decreased flow velocity with the progression of diabetes support the rheological changes involved in the pathophysiology of diabetes. The resistance index shows an significant increase with the progression of DR. These could be useful to predict individuals at higher risk for developing severe DR or PDR.

Uveitis includes many conditions and requires detailed examination, multiple investigations, referrals, topical and systemic medications, and regular follow-up to achieve effective management. To understand the difficulties faced by patients and clinicians alike in the management of uveitis. We conducted a focus group discussion among eight clinicians involved in the care of uveitis patients, and semi-structured interviews were conducted on ten uveitis patients of varying educational status to understand their difficulties. Braun and Clarke's six-phase approach was used for to coding and conducting a thematic analysis and six themes with sub-themes were identified. Among clinicians, the themes were challenges faced in the treatment of uveitis patients; Identification of gap areas/ support areas; and The need for health technology for the management of patients with uveitis The Patients themes identified were patients' knowledge of uveitis and relevant medication prescribed for its treatment; perceived barriers to uveitis treatment; opportunities to incorporate mobile health technology into treatment and care. The prominent challenge that was revealed in the study was patient education along with multiple follow-ups and the cost of medication. It was identified time constraints in a busy clinic, and the need for multiple referrals, investigations, and regular follow-ups all played a critical part in the effective management of these patients. Both patients and clinicians understood that the problem could be solved by the use of technology and both were open to exploring the use of mobile health applications as part of the management of the disease.Patient education and counseling about disease symptoms, systemic association, and medication are vital to the treatment of uveitis. The use of mobile health applications as a means to achieve the above has been explored in this study.

Objective of this study was to assess whether extended blinking exercises have any role in the improvement of vision and halt the progression of myopia. This is a prospective comparative study, done over a period of 1 year. Mild myopic patients, with spherical equivalent upto – 3 D myopia, aged 11-40 years were included. 80 myopic patients (160 eyes) were divided into 2 groups (cases and controls) with 40 patients in each. Cases were subjected to extended blinking exercises, while the control group were given glasses. After 6 weeks - visual acuity, cycloplegic and subjective refraction and biometry was observed in both groups.: 80 myopic eyes (cases) had improvement of visual acuity in right eye from 0.28(logmar) to 0.07(logmar) which is of high statistical significance. The spherical equivalent decreased from -0.70 ±0.45 D to -0.22 ±0.34D. The left eye visual acuity improving from 0.29 (log Mar) to 0.06 (logmar) which is also of high statistical significance. The spherical equivalent decreased in the left eye from -0.7 ±0.45D to -0.2± 0.32 D. Out of 80 eyes (cases) 50 eyes became emmetropic whereas there was significant improvement of increased visual acuity in the rest. Controls had no significant change in any of the parameter.: This study concludes that simple diurnal extended blinking exercises is quite an effective strategy in regressing, thus halting the progression of myopia at an early stage.

: To assess the awareness and attitude regarding eye donation among first year postgraduate medical students who got admission in the year 2022 in a Medical College in Haryana. It was a cross-sectional questionnaire based study in whichfirst year postgraduate medical students who got admission in the year 2022 in various departments of the medical college were given online questionnaire (Google Form) to fill and submit. The questionnaire had 20 questions pertaining to various aspects of eye donation. Among 115 students who responded, mean age was 26.39 years (range 24 – 44 years), and 40.9% (47/115) were males and 59.1% (68/115) were females 449 (62.3%). 97.4% (112/115) students had knowledge that cornea is the part which is required for transplantation in eye donation and 77.4% (89/115) students were knowing the fact that optimal time of eye donation is within 6 hours after death. 72.2% (83/115) pledged to donate eyes. The knowledge about eye donation was good but further motivation will be required for pledging for eye donation. Emphasising more on eye donation awareness during MBBS and including more competencies related to eye and organ donation in MBBS curriculum are some of the strategies which can be adopted to increase awareness among medical students.

This study examines visual impairments prevalence in Pune District's urban and rural school children, recognizing environmental influences on visual development. Understanding variations in visual metrics informs public health initiatives. Visual acuity and color vision play pivotal roles in academic and social development, highlighting the importance of targeted vision care strategies.This study emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention for visual impairments in children, emphasizing the crucial role of clinical optometrists in conducting regular eye check-ups and collaborating with schools and parents."To compare visual functionality, in school-going children aged 6-12 years from urban and rural districts of Pune, aiming to identify potential disparities." A cross-sectional study in Pune District evaluated 900 systematically selected school children (450 from urban, 450 from rural areas). Visual metrics were assessed: stereo acuity (Titmus test), amplitude of accommodation (RAF rule), refractive status (full spectacle correction), visual acuity (Snellen's chart), and color vision (Ishihara test). Statistical analysis employed descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. In a demographic study of 900 participants from 7 Taluka schools in Pune, Maval Taluka had the highest representation (17.9%). Prevalence of myopia was higher in urban (94.8%) than rural (70.7%) areas, while hypermetropia was more common in rural (29.3%) than urban (5.2%) areas. Color vision deficiencies exhibited no significant difference. Stereo acuity and amplitude of accommodation varied significantly geographically, with stereoacuity notably lower than refractive errors and amplitude of accommodation. The study found lower stereoacuity than refractive errors and amplitude of accommodation, with significant differences between urban and rural children, suggesting environmental influences.
Clinical profile of ocular manifestations associated with acute leukemia

Published: December 2024

Ocular manifestations in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are not uncommon but rarely present as the sole symptom. They usually arise secondary to anemia, thrombocytopenia, and hyperviscosity. However, atypical features like optic disc edema and pseudo-hypopyon may indicate relapse. This case series of 9 ALL patients identified potential relapse markers. We advocate for routine ophthalmological referrals for all leukemic children to assess for atypical features during follow-up. Notably, there is a dearth of epidemiological and clinical studies on this topic in northeastern India.: This prospective, descriptive hospital based study was conducted on 9 nos of patients with Acute Leukemia whose duration were over 1 year and whose diagnosis were already confirmed by the paediatrics oncology outpatient department physicians; based on the peripheral blood smear and bone marrow biopsy. These patients were underwent a comprehensive ophthalmological clinical evaluation, dilated fundus examination, optical coherence tomography and other tailored investigations. Among 9 pediatric patients, 66.67% were from rural areas, 33.33% from semi-urban areas, and none from urban areas. Ocular involvement was observed in 22.22% of patients unilaterally, 22.22% had no ocular signs, and 55.55% exhibited bilateral involvement (representing 55.55% of all eyes). Conjunctival involvement was seen in 27.77% of eyes, with subconjunctival hemorrhage (16.66%) being the most common. Conjunctival congestion occurred in 11.11% of eyes. Anterior chamber involvement included uveitis (16.66%), hyphema (5.55%), and pseudo-hypopyon (5.55%). Iris bombe, a form of posterior synechiae, was observed in 16.66% of uveitic eyes. Elevated intraocular pressure was found in 16.66% of eyes. 72.22% of eyes showed no other anterior chamber involvement. Vitritis was the most common vitreous involvement, observed in 16.67% of eyes. 83.33% of eyes had no vitreous involvement. Retinal involvement included hemorrhages (16.67%) and edema (11.11%), while 72.22% of eyes had no retinal involvement. Epiretinal membrane was found in 5.56% of eyes, with 94.44% showing no macular involvement. Elevated LDH levels were present in 33.33% of patients. Ocular involvement in leukemia can be primary or secondary to hematological abnormalities. Relapse should be suspected in any patient with ocular signs, especially after remission. Retinal hemorrhages are the most common manifestation of leukemic retinopathy. Atypical features like pseudo-hypopyon, hyphema, and optic disc swelling with elevated LDH warrant immediate investigation for relapse. Thorough oncological evaluation is crucial during follow-up. We recommend ophthalmological referral for all leukemic patients for comprehensive assessment.
Sparkle in the eye: A rare case of Bietti\'s crystalline dystrophy

Published: December 2024

: Bietti’s Crystalline Dystrophy is an uncommon autosomal recessive tapetoretinal dystrophy resulting from a mutation in the CYP4V2 gene. It is defined by the existence of sub-epithelial corneal deposits at the limbus and small sized, crystalline looking deposits in the retina, especially at the posterior pole. This is bolstered by retinal pigment epithelial atrophy and the choriocapillaris.: In this report, we present the case of a 55-year-old male exhibiting reduced visual acuity, nyctalopia, impaired color vision, and yellow-white crystal deposition in the posterior pole of both eyes. Additionally, areas of retinal pigment epithelium atrophy and pigment clumping were observed. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) of the macula revealed hyperreflective dots in the outer retinal layers, retinal pigment epithelium, and choroid, along with outer retinal tubulations. Electroretinography (ERG) results were subnormal, and visual field assessment indicated paracentral scotomas in both eyes. The patient has been prescribed spectacles and is under regular follow-up.: This case is highlighted due to its rarity in the lack of genetic association and underscores the significance of employing SD-OCT and electrophysiological studies for early disease diagnosis. Additionally, it emphasizes the role of genetic counselling in preventing the inheritance of this condition.

Published: December 2024

We report a rare manifestation of herpetic viral retinitis and encephalitis in a patient with reactivation of pulmonary aspergillosis eventually progressing to involve the eye causing choroidal infiltration. Ocular features can have widespread involvement and can affect vision. An 89-year-old male patient presented with fever, defective vision, difficulty in walking with involuntary movements in the right side of his body and history of treatment for pulmonary aspergillosis. Computed tomography Scanogram showed a bronchiectatic cavity with extensive fibrosis, few parenchymal calcific specks and adjacent pleural thickening.Ophthalmic examination showed pseudophakia in both eyes with nasal pterygium in the right eye. Fundus evaluation in both eyes showed pale optic disc, circumferential retinal infiltrates at the posterior pole and periphery, vitritis and patchy sheathing along arteries. A provisional diagnosis of herpetic retinitis was made and he was advised to continue intravenous acyclovir. On review after 24 hours, fundus showed creamy choroidal patches suggestive of aspergillus endophthalmitis and a combined aetiology for the retinitis was considered. On the third review the vitritis appeared to be settling with better definition of retinitis but his systemic status continued to deteriorate. A clinical suspicion and holistic approach in such patients will improve both ocular and systemic status.
