Capacity building for diabetic retinopathy screening by optometrists in India: Model description and pilot results
Conclusion: The present DRCB model results advocate for an optometry coordinated DR screening in India. Lessons learnt from this model can be useful in designing community-based task sharing initiatives for optometrists in DR screening. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)

Characterization of age-related macular degeneration in Indian donor eyes
Conclusion: Identification of either early or advanced AMD using stereomicroscopic assessment (SMA) showed high sensitivity and specificity. However, misclassification between AMD stages can occur when only SMA is used. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)

Outcomes of 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy with encircling scleral band for acute retinal necrosis-related rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
Conclusion: 25G PPV combines the advantages of minimally invasive vitrectomy surgery while offering improved anatomic outcomes in patients with ARN-related RRD. The functional outcome varies depending on the status of the optic disc and macula. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)

Optical coherence tomography findings in toxoplasma retinochoroiditis
Conclusion: ERM and partial PHD were common in the TRC patients, and there was no progression during the follow-up period. Regeneration of the EZ, RPE and ELM was observed in the follow-up period. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)

Do we need separate screening strategies for cytomegalovirus retinitis in different underlying immunosuppressed states ? A retrospective study from Western India
Conclusion: Duration of treatment for CMV retinitis in patients of ALL was longer as compared to the other etiologies, and in recurrences, it needed to be continued till the completion of maintenance therapy for ALL. It is prudent to advise regular ophthalmic screening of all immunocompromised patients, as they are at a high risk of developing CMV retinitis. Patients of ALL, especially while on maintenance therapy, should be monitored for possible development or reactivation of CMV retinitis. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)

Severe ocular and adnexal complications in dengue hemorrhagic fever: A report of 29 eyes
Conclusion: Dengue fever can present with sight-threatening ocular and adnexal inflammation resulting in endophthalmitis and panophthalmitis, orbital cellulitis, corneal and scleral melt, and orbital hemorrhage. Early vitrectomy may improve vision and globe salvage in cases with significant vitritis. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)

Comparison of spectral domain optical coherence tomography parameters between disc suspects and " pre-perimetric " glaucomatous discs classified on disc photo
Conclusion: Pre-perimetric disc suspects had greater OCT changes compared to normal disc suspects. Qualitative assessment of RNFL and GCL-IPL maps had the highest discriminatory ability. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)

Is 20/20 visual outcome a reality in rubella cataract ? - Prognostic factors in children with cataract associated with congenital rubella syndrome
Conclusion: Cataract associated with rubella is a common cause of congenital cataract in developing countries. Determining prognostic factors helps us in parent counseling and planning treatment protocols. Nevertheless, early detection and treatment with adequate multidisciplinary approach remains priority for improving long-term visual outcomes. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)
