ABSTRACT
The whole world waiting for the elimination of COVID?19. This is a short series of three cases that presented with optic neuritis. On further inquiry, all had received the Covishield vaccine within 5–12 days just before the presentation, with no history of COVID?19 positive RT?PCR. The range of age was 27–48 years. All patients improved after pulse steroid therapy and are still under follow?up. After being plagued by COVID?19 for nearly 2 years, the whole world wishes for little more than complete eradication of the disease. Our country commenced the much?awaited vaccination drive from Jan 2021. Ophthalmic manifestations have appeared in many forms post?COVID?19, among which neuro?ophthalmic manifestations are infrequent. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a short case series from our country presenting with optic neuritis after COVID?19 vaccination, without any sign of active infection
ABSTRACT
Purpose: To compare clarity, exposure and quality of anterior chamber angle visualization in congenital glaucoma patients, using RetCam and indirect gonioscopy images. Design: Cross‑sectional study Participants. Congenital glaucoma patients over age of 5 years. Materials and Methods: A prospective consecutive pilot study was done in congenital glaucoma patients who were older than 5 years. Methods used are indirect gonioscopy and RetCam imaging. Clarity of the image, extent of angle visible and details of angle structures seen were graded for both methods, on digitally recorded images, in each eye, by two masked observers. Outcome Measures: Image clarity, interobserver agreement. Results: 40 eyes of 25 congenital glaucoma patients were studied. RetCam image had excellent clarity in 77.5% of patients versus 47.5% by gonioscopy. The extent of angle seen was similar by both methods. Agreement between RetCam and gonioscopy images regarding details of angle structures was 72.50% by observer 1 and 65.00% by observer 2. Conclusions: There was good agreement between RetCam and indirect gonioscopy images in detecting angle structures of congenital glaucoma patients. However, RetCam provided greater clarity, with better quality, and higher magnification images. RetCam can be a useful alternative to gonioscopy in infants and small children without the need for general anesthesia.
