Shruthy V Ramesh, Prasanna V Ramesh, Meena K Ramesh, Veenashankari Padmanabhan, Ramesh RajasekaranIndian Journal of Ophthalmology 2021 69(3):770-772
The severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been frequently associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome. In this case report, an atypical presentation of COVID-19 in young with a thromboembolic event is reported. The patient initially presented with fever of unknown origin not responding to therapy. On examination, visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes with bilateral disc oedema and disc haemorrhage in the right eye. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reacti...

Modified inexpensive needle for suprachoroidal triamcinolone acetonide injections in pseudophakic cystoid macular edema
Avadhesh Oli, Shrikant WaikarIndian Journal of Ophthalmology 2021 69(3):765-767
Pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) is one of the leading causes of reduced vision, after cataract surgery. Topical steroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drops are frequently used in the management; however, intravitreal injections may be required for chronic cases. Suprachoroidal injection of preservative free Triamcinolone acetonide is a recent addition to the therapeutic armamentarium of ophthalmologists for treatment of cystoid macular edema of varied etiology. Though the drug is commercially available at a reasonable cost, the...

Modified balanced two-string technique of internal scleral fixation of posteriorly dislocated intraocular lens
We describe a modified balanced two-string technique of internally fixing a posteriorly dislocated rigid IOL using the pars plana approach in eyes which lack adequate capsular support. Five eyes of five patients underwent the procedure. All eyes had successful IOL refixation. One eye had mild temporal decentration. BCVA improved in all patients. Our technique is an alternate method of scleral fixation of posteriorly dislocated IOL with advantages of minimal postoperative astigmatism, minimal anterior segment manipulation, and good IOL centration.

Scleral tunnel with conjunctival autograft for rescue management of extruded haptic: Surgical technique and review of literature
Rinky Agarwal, Vishnu Todi, Rahul Kumar Bafna, Md Ibrahime Asif, Namrata SharmaIndian Journal of Ophthalmology 2021 69(3):758-761
Extrusion of haptic is a rare complication after intra-scleral haptic fixation of intraocular lens (SF-IOL). Various techniques described for its management such as autologous scleral patch, cauterization of exposed haptic, reattempting the glued IOL and IOL explant have their own limitations. Presently, we describe a simple rescue technique for management of such situations. In this method, after performing localized conjunctival peritomy, 2 mm long partial-thickness scleral tunnel is fashione...

Intraocular lens scaffold pupilloplasty: A novel technique for pupilloplasty in phakic eyes
We describe a novel technique for pupilloplasty in phakic eyes, wherein a plate haptic intraocular lens or phakic intraocular lens provides a scaffold and protects the anterior crystalline lens from subsequent surgical manoeuvres. The technique is demonstrated in a 24-year-old male who presented four months following blunt trauma to his left eye, with complaints of glare and difficulty in near activities secondary to traumatic mydriasis. The use of an intraocular lens scaffold allowed successful pupilloplasty without iatrogenic tissue trauma or subsequent crystalline lens opacification up to one-year follow-up. Our techniq...

Long-term outcomes of revision endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy aided by 4-mm coronary balloon catheter dacryoplasty
Mohammad Javed Ali, Nandini BothraIndian Journal of Ophthalmology 2021 69(3):751-754
Our purpose was assess the long-term efficacy of 4-mm coronary balloon catheter dacryoplasty in revision endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (RevEnDCR). This retrospective interventional case-series was performed for patients who underwent RevEnDCR aided by a 4-mm coronary balloon catheter (CBC) dacryoplasty. The indications for the surgery were previously failed DCRs by external or endoscopic approach where the ostium showed near total cicatrization with or without the presence of organized granuloma threatening the internal common opening ...

Aerosol containment box for laser treatment of retinopathy of prematurity in COVID-19 pandemic
Parveen Sen, VV Jaichandran, Janani SreenivasanIndian Journal of Ophthalmology 2021 69(3):743-745
Type 1 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) requires emergency intervention and laser is an established modality of treatment. Laser treatment for ROP under topical anesthesia can be considered as an aerosol-generating procedure due to crying that puts health care workers at high risk of COVID-19 transmission. Aerosol containment box (ACB) is known to minimize aerosol transmission and there are reports of ROP laser done through incubator. Combining these two ideas, we describe a new application of ACB with suction for laser treat...

Profile of patients receiving intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor injections during COVID-19-related lockdown
Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a delay in patients receiving anti-VEGF injections. The visual acuity is worse in both treatment naïve as well as those requiring retreatment. This could have long-term impact on vision of patients requiring this vision preserving treatment. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)
