Iatrogenic choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) is an uncommon condition usually associated with retinal laser or iatrogenic trauma during vitrectomy. Very few cases of iatrogenic CNVM have been reported in the literature, and the functional outcome has generally been poor in these reports despite treatment with laser photocoagulation, intravitreal bevacizumab, photodynamic therapy, and surgical removal of neovascular membranes. We report this case to highlight this rare complication following vitrectomy and its response to antivascular endothelial growth facor (VEGF) therapy.Retinal folds are rare complications of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment surgery. They may be located in periphery or involve macula, with the latter ones being associated with severe visual loss. Due to the paucity of scientific reports, its management remains debatable. Most authors advocate an early surgical intervention for symptomatic macular folds (MF). We present 2 cases of symptomatic dry macular fold which were managed successfully after different time intervals. As evidence gets collected that late intervention also leads to good visual outcome, long standing MF should not be considered an absolute contraindication for surgical intervention.We present a case of persistent macular hole (MH) having an apical diameter of 140 microns and a basal diameter of 530 microns following a combined phacoemulsification and MH surgery. Considering post-operative cystoid macular edema (CME) as the possible reason for the failure of the initial surgery, a trial of IVTA was given. The synergistic effect of mechanical plugging of the hole by TA, coupled with resolution of cystoid changes and falling back of the macular hole resulted in the successful closure of the persistent macular hole with improvement in vision from 20/250 to 20/63.Bilateral acute depigmentation of the iris (BADI) is a rare disease of unkown etiology. We report a case of BADI in a 10-year-old child after accidental exposure to a herbal insecticide. Spontaneous iris repigmentation was observed during the follow-up period.We describe the successful use of the B-HEX pupil expansion device in four cases of combined phacovitrectomy with significant cataract, non-dilating pupil, and surgical vitreoretinal pathologies including vitreous hemorrhage, inferior retinal detachment (RD) with proliferative vitreoretinopathy in an oil filled eye, recurrent rhegmatogenous RD, and macular hole with RD localized to the posterior pole in an eye with uveitic sequelae. The B-HEX remained well engaged and maintained excellent mydriasis throughout the surgery despite wide fluctuations in intraocular pressure and anterior chamber fluidics. This is the first series describing use of B-HEX for combined phacovitrectomy due to myriad causes.We report a rare case of very late-onset haze triggered by viral conjunctivitis, > 20 years after treatment of moderate myopia with photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), and its successful management.Glaucoma drainage tubes have become increasingly popular in the surgical management of uncontrolled glaucoma. Flow restriction is essential to prevent early postoperative hypotony with non-flow restrictive glaucoma drainage devices. Herein, we describe a new way of using a 3-0 Supramid suture as an intraluminal stent. This technique confers no risk of stent exposure, can be removed ab interno without disturbing the conjunctiva, and aids insertion of the tube into the anterior chamber through a scleral tunnel.This video demonstrates the successful surgical technique for refixation of the same intraocular lens (IOL) by tying the same IOL to the sclera with the help of 9-0 polypropylene suture. A 62-year-old male patient presented with sudden loss of vision in the left eye. He had a history of undergoing transscleral fixation of intraocular lens (TSFIOL) using 10-0 polypropylene suture 13 years back for posttraumatic-dislocated nucleus. On examination, we noticed that he had IOL dislocation due to spontaneous breakage of suture of one of the haptic. The other haptic suture was intact. The long-term complication associated with TSFIOL procedure is breakage of the polypropylene suture leading to subluxation or dislocation of the IOL. We used closed-globe approach to successfully fixate the involved haptic of the same IOL. No intraoperative or postoperative complication was encountered in three such cases.We describe a novel technique "alternate iris bypass technique" of iridodialysis repair in four patients experiencing traumatic iridodialysis along with cataract. In these cases, we have combined iridodialysis repair with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. The main advantage of this technique is that edges of the iridodialysis can be visible till the end of the repair by bypassing the iris tissue in alternate bites which helps in minimizing the corectopia of the pupil and localized iris clumping.Purpose The objective of this study was to analyze the visual acuity improvement in patients with low vision using augmented reality device who presented to the low vision care (LVC) clinic at a tertiary eye care center. Methods A prospective study of 100 patients with low vision who were referred to the LVC clinic between July and December 2018 was done. Demographic data and visual acuity improvement assessed using augmented reality (AR) technology paired with Samsung Gear headset were documented. Results Out of 100 patients, 74 were male and 26 were female. The median age of the overall patients was 36 (25.5) years. In 100 patients, 21% patients were found to have central field loss (CFL), 35% patients have peripheral field loss (PFL), and 44% patients were found to have overall blurred vision (OBV). Majority of the subjects with CFL (47%) and OBV (37%) has a moderate visual impairment and in PFL group (26%), severe visual impairment was more. Cone dystrophy (9%) was found to be the major cause of CFL group, retinitis pigmentosa (22%) in the case of PFL group, and optic atrophy (10%) in the case of OBV group. selleck The median distance visual acuity 0.9 log MAR improved to 0.2 log MAR (P less then 0.0001) and median near visual acuity 0.4 log MAR improved to 0.1 log MAR with a P value of less then 0.0001 using AR device. Conclusion The use of an AR device can help patients with low vision to improve their residual vision for better visual performance.
