    Anterior Vitrectomy Made Easy For Cataract Surgeon

    One of the most dreaded complications of cataract surgery is a posterior capsular tear (PCR). Its rate ranges from 1.3% to 9.6% (from skilled surgeons to trainees)1-5. Early recognition of the PCR and skilled management is necessary for good surgical outcomes and to avoid any devastating sequelae. Hence, anterior vitrectomy is an important skill that every cataract surgeon should master. There are some risk factors that may predispose to PCR like a true posterior polar cataract, dense and mature cataracts, old age (zonular weakness, small pupil, and denser cataract), uncooperative/ anxious patients, poor visualization due to corneal disease, pre-existing ocular trauma leading to capsular rupture/ zonular damage, etc.6,7 A thorough preparation beforehand may avoid confusion and lead to a well-managed surgery. The OT staff should be well aware of the kit to be used for anterior vitrectomy and the settings to be used for the same. Early identification of the posterior capsular tear The ea

    Ten points A Postgraduate Should Know while Reading a Fundus Fluorescein Angiogram

    Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) is still a gold standard investigation, for studying the circulation of the retina and partly choroid and highlights the dynamic interaction of the dye with the same. Many adjunct investigations like Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Fundus autofluorescence (FAF), Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA), etc. help in retinal diagnosis and management, but FFA still remains indispensable. The procedure is relatively simple, involving serial photographs of the fundus, after injecting sodium fluorescein intravenously. However, the information given is immense, and proper interpretation requires a good understanding of retinal anatomy. This article aims at a better understanding of the FFA pictures on digital capture, which is mostly used now as against the old film-based technique. 1. Differentiating pseudofluorescence from true fluorescence The excitation and the barrier filter play a very important role in the interpretation of the FFA pictu
