Perception among ophthalmologists about webinars as a method of continued medical education during COVID-19 pandemic
Conclusion: Most respondents had favorable perceptions of Ophthalmology webinars happening during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is need for improvisation in the volume of webinars, target-audience-based delivery, and participant interaction to add value to this new dimension of teaching-learning.

Cataract surgery in eyes with associated coloboma: Predictors of outcome and safety of different surgical techniques
Conclusion: Favorable functional outcomes can be achieved with phacoemulsification in eyes with softer cataract and corneal diameter >8 mm and with M-SICS in eyes with hard cataracts and corneal diameter of 6–8 mm. PE should be considered as the primary choice whenever permissible by the corneal diameter and severity of nuclear sclerosis. Poor functional outcomes were seen in eyes with smaller corneal diameter, extensive chorioretinal coloboma, and intraoperative complications. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)

Contrast, visibility, and color balance between the microscope versus intracameral illumination in cataract surgery using a 3D visualization system
Conclusion: The digital images in the digitally assisted cataract surgery were enhanced by using the intracameral illumination. Considering the contrast and color balance in the 3D cataract surgery, the intracameral illumination may be better than the microscope illumination. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)

Comparative evaluation of Octopus semi-automated kinetic perimeter with Humphrey and Goldmann perimeters in neuro-ophthalmic disorders
Conclusion: Clinical correlation aids in better characterisation of a field defect. All 3 perimeters are concurrent in the pattern of field defects for non-central defects. However, the default protocol on OVF may not be enough to demarcate the central and para-central scotomas. Development of a customised protocol for the assessment of central and centrocecal field defects increases the accuracy of OVF. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)

One-year Profile of Eye Diseases in Infants (PEDI) in secondary (rural) eye care centers in South India
Conclusion: Profile of eye disease in infants in secondary or rural eye care centers ranged from simple to complex, including sight-threatening diseases. While our study concluded that nearly 4/5th of these eye problems were simple and could be managed by a well-trained comprehensive ophthalmologist, 20% of these cases required a referral to a tertiary care center.

Ocular manifestations in renal allograft recipients: An Indian perspective
Conclusion: Ocular findings are seen in 72.36% of the renal transplant recipients with hypertensive retinopathy being the commonest one. Hence, a mandatory regular ophthalmic screening of the recipients is recommended for an early detection and timely intervention to improve the quality of life.

Anatomical and functional outcomes one year after vitrectomy and retinal massage for large macular holes
Conclusion: Retinal massage after ILM peeling is a very simple, and as yet under-utilized manoeuvre that may improve hole closure rates and lead to potentially greater improvement in vision compared to existing techniques for large holes. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)

Subjective and objective measures of the patient experience before, during, and after intravitreal anti & #8211;vascular endothelial growth factor injections
Conclusion: We report a large sample size with comprehensive assessments of the patient experience. Higher pain ratings in the <5 injection group, the increase in the SBP in the pre-and during injection phases, and the overall rating of mild-to-moderate fear during the procedure.
