Abstract Background This study aims to compare the levels of intraocular cytokines between Fuchs uveitis syndrome (FUS) eyes and senile cataract eyes. The association inflammatory cytokine severity in FUS is evaluated find possible mechanism Methods A retrospective 28 with was performed. Auxiliary examinations were performed, including ophthalmic examinations, laser flare-cell photometry, aqueo...

All the working subjects for this study had a...

Background: In view of the recent outbreak pandemic caused by novel corona virus 19 (n-covid) which has thrown overall healthcare system that created fear, apprehension and anxiety amongst all surgeons. Ophthalmic surgeons are no exceptions. The new is a respiratory Coronoviridae family containing single strand RNA spreads primarily through droplets generated when an infected person coughs or s...

Purpose. To determine the clinical profile of lens-induced glaucoma (LIG), reasons for late presentation, and outcome of current management. Methods. Retrospective analysis of 50 eyes with LIG over a 6-year period between 2005 and 2011 at a tertiary care centre in rural India. Visual acuity and intraocular pressure (IOP) were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively along with postoperative ...

Changes in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PD), glutathione reductase (GSH-R), reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PO), transketolase (TK) and transaldolase (TA) were studied in lens and red blood cells (RBCs) to understand the possible biochemical mechanisms responsible for the development of senile cataract. The activity of G-6-PD was increased in lens, though not so...

OBJECTIVE Biochemical evidence suggests that the oxidative damage of the lens proteins is involved in the genesis of senile cataract and the development of diabetes-related pathologic changes such as the formation of cataracts. In particular, lens proteins are subject to extensive oxidative modification. Oxidative damage either decreases the antioxidant capacity or decreased antioxidant capacit...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Observations in central India, over a period of more than a decade, suggested that the frequency of sight restoring cataract surgery was substantially higher in women of childbearing age compared to men of the same age. Formal surveys in the subcontinent of India have confirmed a higher prevalence of cataract in women. The present study was conducted to explore possible effects ...

Senile cataract is the leading cause of severe vision loss and blindness worldwide, affecting approximately 20 million people. Anterior chamber intraocular lens (AC IOLs) remain a surgical option for visual rehabilitation required after surgical extraction of the cataract lens. Relevant publications in the PUBMED database were searched for articles regarding the types, visual outcomes and the c...

Lens retrodots are round, oblong, or oval features in the perinuclear zone of the adult lens after the fifth decade of life and associated with cataract. Retrodots were found in 47 out of 121 eyes with cataract (39%) in the present series. They show birefringence in vivo and in vitro, and chemical studies suggest that they contain calcium oxalate. It is proposed that ascorbic acid, which is abu...
