abstract = {Aim: To investigate the changes in the Intraocular pressure (IOP) in adults on prolonged computer usage. Methods:31 adult subjects working with computers for prolonged hours had their Intraocular pressure checked with Schiotz tonometer. Measurements were taken initially on every individual before computer usage and then following 3 hours of computer usage. Results: There was significant rise in the Intraocular pressure (Mean Increase of Intraocular pressure is 1.23mm of Hg) in most of the myopic subjects after 3 hours of continuous usage of computer. Conclusions: Prolonged computer usage could induce transient Intraocular pressure elevation. Mostly Intraocular pressure elevation is seen in myopic subjects whereas emmetropic subjects showed little or no elevation.},

abstract = {Aim: To report the significance of ocular manifestations in Systemic lupus erythematosus Materials and methods: Seven diagnosed cases of Systemic lupus erythematosus, which included both newly diagnosed cases and cases already on treatment, were referred from the treating physician for ophthalmological evaluation. Comprehensive ophthalmic examination was done using BCVA, intraocular pressure measurement, Slit lamp examination of the anterior segment, fundus examination using Slit lamp biomicroscopy and indirect ophthalmoscopy, and Schirmers testing was done. In selected patients, certain special investigations like visual fields 24-2, 10-2 testing, SD-OCT was done. However ERG, could not be done due to lack of resource availability. Patients with history of Diabetes mellitus, Hypertension and other ophthalmic diseases like age related cataract were excluded. Results: Out of the seven cases of SLE examined, xerosis was the most commonly encountered manifestation, seen among 6 patients. Episcleritis was seen in one patient, Anterior

uveitis seen in 2 patients, SLE associated retinopathy was seen in 3 patients. Treatment induced side effects like

glaucoma was seen in 1 patient, posterior subcapsular opacities in 2 patients and Bull’s eye maculopathy suggestive of HCQ toxicity seen in 1 patient. While dryness, episcleritis and retinopathy were managed conservatively, Anterior uveitis was managed with topical steroids. Patients with HCQ associated toxicity were advised to stop the HCQ therapy or to go for an alternative regimen, those with posterior subcapsular opacities were advised cataract surgery, while glaucomatous patients were started on anti glaucoma therapy. Conclusion: Early diagnosis, prompt referral, coordinated treatment and long term follow-up through multi disciplinary approach involving Ophthalmologists, Rheumatologists and Dermatologist play a key role in reducing ocular and systemic morbidity associated with Systemic lupus erythematosus. },

The aim of this study was to categorize the prevalence and distribution of various eyelid tumors among population of Hyderabad over 3 years duration. This was a prospective study of 57 cases who reported to our tertiary hospital in Hyderabad from January 2013 to December 2015. The cases were analyzed for their sex distribution, tumor type, age distribution, incidence of malignant and benign tumors, tumor location, and complications at the time of presentation. The mean age of presentation of malignant tumors and benign tumors was 56 and 39 years respectively. The median age of presentation was 64 years for basal cell carcinoma, 50 years for sebaceous gland carcinoma (SGC) and 62 years for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The median age of presentation of various benign lesions were as follows: 33 years for dermoid cyst, 40 years for epidermal cyst, 36 years for capillary hemangioma, 54 years for squamous papilloma, 56 years for granulomatous lesion, 41 years for nevus, 19 years for keratoacanthoma, 58 years for sebaceous keratosis, 40 years for histiocytoma, 33 years for neurofibroma, 43 years for pleomorphic adenoma. The most common location of the tumor was upper lid (55.55%) for all the malignancies. Sebaceous gland carcinoma was the most common malignancy (55.5%) followed by basal cell carcinoma (33.3%) and squamous cell carcinoma (11.1%). Dermoid cyst was the most common type of benign lesion (37.5%). Surgical methods used were wedge excision with primary closure, wide excision, skin grafting and tarso-conjunctival flap. To conclude, sebaceous gland carcinoma was the most common malignancy and dermoid cyst was the most common tumor of benign origin. Hence it is our suggestion to have high degree of suspicion for these tumors for early diagnosis and intervention.},

Sclerosing keratitis is known to be associated with rheumatoid arthritis,(2) onchocerciasis, tuberculosis(3) and other infective or auto immune diseases. We are reporting a case of sclerosing keratitis in a patient with reactivated tuberculosis. A 40 year old female patient presented with unilateral sclerosing keratitis and mild anterior uveitis with recent loss of weight

and easy fatigability. She revealed a history of pulmonary tuberculosis in the past, for which she received Anti Tubercular Therapy for 6 months and was then declared cured at the time. A thorough workup for systemic risk factors was performed to evaluate etiological factors responsible for the keratitis and uveitis with special emphasis on tuberculosis. Though the blood work and radiology reports did not allow a definitive diagnosis of tuberculosis, in view of her past history, a therapeutic trial was initiated by restarting ATT. This resulted in improvement in her general condition. Though the corneal opacities didn’t resolve, there was an arrest in their

progression. Over the next 8 months, the corneal lesions remained stable. An ocular event was the only obvious sign in this patient to indicate reactivation of systemic tuberculosis and it helped initiate treatment emphasizing the role of an ophthalmologist in early detection and prompt institution of treatment in systemic diseases.},

While the RE showed non granulomatous uveitis with sclerosing keratitis, the LE showed granulomatous uveitis with mutton fat keratic precipitates. Systemic

examination revealed an enlarged lymph node which was positive for tuberculosis on biopsy. She was hence diagnosed as extra pulmonary tuberculosis and was treated with ATT regimen. In this patient, uveitis was the initial manifestation and resulted in a systemic diagnosis. },

abstract = {INTRODUCTION: Viral conjunctivitis is most commonly seen in the outpatient department. A variety of viruses which are responsible for conjunctival infection, of which Adenovirus is the most common. It is highly contagious during the first 2 weeks of infection. It can cause corneal involvement within 4-5 days after the onset of symptoms. Corneal lesions range from SPK (Superficial Punctate Keratitis) to epithelial defects. These corneal lesions may cause intense photophobia and impairment of vision. AIM: To find out the commonest etiological agent, to study the clinical features and complications related to it. METHODOLOGY: This study

was carried out prospectively. 100 patients who came to outpatient department between October 2013 to October 2014 were enrolled in the study. All the age groups and both the genders were included. Patients underwent slit lamp examination and were diagnosed clinically. 25 cases were submitted for Gram staining and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) study to know the type of virus and serotype. RESULT: 100 patients were diagnosed with viral conjunctivitis and were kept on follow up. 21percent of patients developed SPK. Adenovirus 8 was found to be more common than other viruses. CONCLUSION: The present study showed Adeno virus to be the most common etiological agent causing viral conjunctivitis and complications like subepithelial opacities and diminished vision.},

abstract = {INTRODUCTION: Pterygium is a degenerative condition of the subconjuctival tissue which proliferates as vascularized granulation tissue to invade the cornea, destroying the superficial layers of the stroma and bowmans membrane. Surgical removal remains the main stay of treatment. OBJECTIVE: To compare the recurrence rate of bare sclera technique and conjuctival autografting in primary pterygium excision. METHODOLOGY: This study was carried out as a prospective comparative study. This study was conducted during June 2013 to June 2014. 50 patients of primary pterygium were admitted. 25 patients were treated with bare sclera technique and 25 patients were treated with conjunctival auto graft. Post-operative follow up was

done for 6 months to find out the recurrence of pterygium and any other complications. RESULT: 25 patients received Bare Sclera Technique (n=25) and 25 patients received Conjunctival Auto Graft (CAG) (n=25). There was recurrence in 16 cases (40%) in group A with bare sclera technique and 2 cases (8%) had recurrence in GROUP B with conjunctival autograft. There was statistically significant difference in the recurrence rate in the 2 groups. Of other post-operative complications in bare sclera technique 5 cases (20%) had corneal opacity, 3 cases (12%) had scleral thinning, 5 cases (20%) had pyogenic granuloma. There was no significant post-operative complication with conjuctival auto graft. CONCLUSION: simple excision of pterygium followed by conjuctival autograft has the lowest recurrence rate and minimum incidence of complications compared to bare sclera technique. },
