RESUMO
Central retinal vein occlusion (CVO) is a common retinal vascular disorder with potentially blinding complications. However, a simultaneous bilateral affection is not a common entity. One such patient is described here.

There is a paucity in world literature of a prospective study on post cataract strabismus and in Indian literature on post cataract ptosis. 150 cataract patients without pre-existing strabismus or ptosis were subjected to standard extracapsular cataract extraction with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation under 2 point peribulbar anaesthesia and were post-operatively evaluated for strabismus and ptosis. At the end of first week, there were 10/150 (6.67%) cases of strabismus, 13/150 (8.67%) cases of ptosis and 5/150 (3.33%) of both combined, which reduced to 2% each (3/150) at the twelfth week. The probable factors for causation and recovery are being discussed.
RESUMO
Analysis of recruit examination records of three years of the department of Ophthalmology of Command Hospital (SC) showed that of the 1579 candidates appearing for review, 558 (35.3S%) were for defective colour perception, 366 (23.18%) were for squint assessment and 330(20.9%) were for substandard vision. The initial examination of these candidates was done by a general duty medical officer whereas the review was done by an ophthalmologist Almost two-thirds of these candidates appearing for review were found fit {985/1579(68.39%)}. Squint was the leading disability for which these candidates were found fit {315/985 (31.99%)} while defective colour perception with 274/594 (46.12%) headed the list of candidates found unfit.
