RESUMO
Recent technological advances in cataract surgery with small incision ensure less surgically induced astigmatism and faster visual rehabilitation .Manual small incision non phaco surgery has added advantage of low cost and less machine dependence. We present a series of 115 patients who were operated upon using manual small incision cataract surgery and studied for visual recovery. 95.65% of patients achieved a best corrected visual acuity of 6/12 or better and the mean surgically induced astigmatism at 3 months was 0.69 Diopters .
RESUMO
Lamellar ichthyosis is a rare, autosomal recessive, genetically heterogeneous skin disorder caused by mutations in the transglutaminase-1 gene. Eye abnormalities include bilateral ectropion of lower lids, chronic blepharitis and rarely cataract. A case of lamellar ichthyosis with bilateral lower lid ectropion and bilateral mature cataract is hereby presented for its rarity.
RESUMO
Forty patients who were operated upon for chronic dacryocystitis six months to two years before presented with history of persistent watering and discharge. Repeat DCR with silicone tube intubation was performed in all the patients. Post-operative follow-up for a period of 12-18 months revealed absence of symptoms in 38 patients while 2 patients persisted with watering and discharge despite uncomplicated surgical procedure.
RESUMO
Localized orhital non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a rare form of extranodal lymphoma. which has 1101 been reported much in the literature. The orbit differs from the rest 01" the body. excluding the central nervous system. as concerns lymph drainage. This ma) be possible to explain some of the peculiar features in lymphoid orbital lesions. A localized orbital non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in an elderly man is hereby presented for its entry.
