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.

Outcomes of keratoplasty in a cohort of Indian patients with xeroderma pigmentosum
Conclusion: Despite the complexities of the ocular surface and adnexal issues in XP, keratoplasty had reasonably good outcomes. More than half of the PK grafts survived 5 years with no failures in the EK group. Regular follow-up and timely management of suture-related infections raised intraocular pressure, and suspicious ocular surface lesions, in addition to solar protection, are important for the success of keratoplasty in these eyes.

Quantitative analysis of herpes simplex virus-1 transcript in suspected viral keratitis corneal buttons and its clinical significance
Conclusion: Detection of HSV-1 LAT transcript by qPCR may be superior to HSV-1 DNA PCR (conventional) and IHC, which has low sensitivity. However, the utility of HSV-1 LAT mRNA analysis as a diagnostic modality by qPCR needs to be validated on a larger patient cohort. (Source: Indian Journal of Ophthalmology)

Ophthalmology residency trainers & #39; perspective on standardization of residency training in India
Conclusion: Teachers expected their wards to become competent professionals. There was near unanimity about the content of clinical skills training, non-medical skills and academics, but there was a significant variation on extent of surgical training that should be imparted to the residents.

The peripheral retina is affected in a variety of retinal disorders. Traditional fundus cameras capture only a part of the fundus even when montaging techniques are used. Ultra-wide field imaging enables us to delve into the retinal periphery in greater detail. It not only facilitates assessing color images of the fundus, but also fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, fundus autofluorescence, and red and gr...

Recent decade has seen a shift in the causes of childhood blinding diseases from anterior segment to retinal disease in both developed and developing countries. The common retinal disorders are retinopathy of prematurity and vitreoretinal infections in neonates, congenital anomalies in infants, and vascular retinopathies including type 1 diabetes, tumors, and inherited retinal diseases in children (up to 12 years). Retinal imagin...
