    Instrumentation for IOFB removal

    Removal of a retained intraocular foreign body (IOFB) is one of the very few ophthalmic emergencies which can cause a nightmare like situation at times even for an experienced surgeon. Careful evaluation and meticulous planning can help us achieve good anatomical and functional outcomes in these complex scenarios. It is extremely important to choose the right instrument for removal of IOFB based on its size, shape & nature. This will minimize any unnecessary prolonged maneuvers and also minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues. Here, we will focus on instrumentation that are available and needed for various posterior segment IOFB. IOFB extraction techniques vary according to factors such as the location, content, magnetic properties, and extent of local damage. There are two crucial steps in IOFB removal 1) Lifting the foreign body 2) Removal of foreign body. An important decision to be made while approaching an IOFB is to determine its nature, magnetic or non-magnetic. Endomagnets:

    Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) : Tips & Tricks for Postgraduates

    Dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR), a century-old procedure described by Toti in the early 1900s, remains the gold standard for treating Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction (NLDO).1 For any other procedure related to the treatment of NLDO, they are all compared and evaluated against DCR. The surgical anatomy overlaps the areas of expertise of an ophthalmologist or an oculoplastic specialist and an otolaryngologist, as the majority of the Nasolacrimal duct lies in the nasal cavity. Therefore, both external and endonasal approaches are available. In 1893, Caldwell first described the endonasal approach of DCR,2 and almost a decade later, in 1904, Toti described the external approach of DCR, which became the gold standard for the treatment of NLDO. The main goal of DCR is to create a fistulous tract lined with epithelium from the lacrimal sac into the nasal cavity. Although the endonasal approach was first described, it did not gain popularity due to the non-availability of nasal endoscopes and diffic

    Cyclic Esotropia

    Cyclic esotropia is a rare form of non-accommodative convergent strabismus which present as 24-hour period of straight eye position followed by 24 hours of large-angle esotropia1. Burian in 1958 described Cyclic esotropia for the first time in English literature2. Duke-Elder3 described the “Cyclic Squint” as a “rare and curious condition which invariably takes the form of a temporary esotropia.” Etiopathogenesis/Theories The etiology of this rare form of convergent strabismus is unknown. Possible theories behind the evolution of such a strabismus include progressive loss of compensation of a latent strabismus, change of a central clock mechanism, and incomplete cerebral dominance, with interhemispheric conflict1 spontaneously or may be precipitated by a trigger. The trigger can be traumatic brain injury, strabismus surgery, extracapsular cataract surgery, retinal detachment with scleral buckling, orbital surgery and ocular trauma 4 . However, many cases have been associated with other

    Current Trends and Techniques in Pneumatic Retinopexy

    Introduction Over the past few decades, the approach to treating primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) has undergone significant changes. Initially, scleral buckle (SB) was the standard method, followed by the occasional use of pneumatic retinopexy (PnR), and more recently, pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). This shift has primarily been driven by technological advancements rather than considerations of post-operative functional outcomes or the effectiveness of retinal reattachment.1 However, there is now a growing interest in ensuring both the integrity of reattachment and the resulting functional outcomes, spurred by the availability of multimodal imaging. The goal is not only to increase the success rate of retinal reattachment but also to optimize the reattachment process for the best possible functional results. One challenge observed with PPV is post-operative retinal displacement, also known as a low-integrity retinal attachment (LIRA)2–4. This displacement occurs due to the
