Choroidal thickness in eyes of migraine patients measured using spectral domain-optical coherence tomography: A meta-analysis
We have read and reviewed the article entitled as “Choroidal thickness in eyes of migraine patients measured using spectral domain-optical coherence tomography: A meta-analysis” by Gouravani and coworkers with great interest.1 The authors evaluated the choroidal thickness (CT) in both migraineurs with and without aura.

Authors ’ response: Proliferative retinopathy in chronic myeloid leukemia and diabetes: A “double whammy”
This editorial discusses that the diabetic proliferative retinopathy progresses as a result of ischemia angiogenic stimuli, which may be exacerbated by concomitant CML retinopathy generating increased blood viscosity and vascular endothelial growth factor levels. (Source: Survey of Ophthalmology)

Proliferative Retinopathy in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia & Diabetes: A “double whammy”
We are delighted to have Drs. Kumawat and Chawla's valuable feedback on our review 1 of the ophthalmic manifestations of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). The CML ocular manifestations may result directly from metastatic leukemic infiltrates (which may affect the choroid and would be difficult to detect clinically and may present with a serous or exudative retinal detachment) 2 or as a result of the associated leukocytosis, anemia, thrombocytopenia, hyperviscosity syndrome, and luekoembolization, and It did reveal that posterior segment vasculopathy owing to CML is more prevalent than direct leukemic infiltration.

Use of an automatic refractometer as a screening tool for pigment dispersion syndrome detection
We read with great interest the review article by Bustamante-Arias and coworkers concerning pigment dispersion syndrome.1 They emphasized that detection of spoke-like iris transillumination defects in pigment dispersion syndrome requires a careful search. Referring to the diagnoses of this sight-threatening disease, we recently published an article suggesting that an automatic refractometer could be used as a simple and rapid screening tool for detecting iris transillumination defects in this ocular entity.

Acute postoperative endophthalmitis: Microbiology from the laboratory to the bedside
Postoperative endophthalmitis is a dreaded complication of intraocular surgery. Acute presentations need prompt management and good knowledge of differential diagnoses. In the last 10 years, progress in direct microbial detection and identification from intraocular samples included the use of blood culture systems and, more recently, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, improving the rate of bacterial identification. Whatever the method used, diagnostic sensitivity is better for vitreous samples than for aqueous humor samples. (Source: Survey of Ophthalmology)

Unconventional avenues to decelerate diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an important microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), causing significant visual impairment worldwide. Current gold standards for retarding the progress of DR include blood sugar control and regular fundus screening. Despite these measures, the incidence and prevalence of DR and vision-threatening DR remain high. Given its slowly progressive course and long latent period, opportunities to contain or slow DR before it threatens vision must be explored.This narrative review assesses the recently described unconventional strategies to retard DR progression.

The inflammasome pathway: A key player in ocular surface and anterior segment diseases
Inflammasomes are multicomplex molecular regulators with an emerging importance in regulating ocular surface and anterior segment health and disease. Key components found in the eye include NF- κB, NLRP3, NLRC4, NLRP6, ASC, IL-1β, IL-18, and caspase-1. The role of NLRP1, NLRC4, AIM2, and NLRP3 inflammasomes in the pathogenesis of infectious ulcers, DED, uveitis, glaucoma, corneal edema, and other diseases is being studied with many developments. Attenuation of these diseases has been exp lored by blocking various molecules along the inflammasome pathway with agents like NAC, polydatin, calcitriol, glyburide, YVAD, and di...
