    Abstract We report a case of a woman in her 30s who underwent femtosecond LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) in both eyes to correct her simple myopic astigmatism. After the surgery, both eyes developed diffuse lamellar keratitis, and intensive topical steroids were initiated to control the same. Subsequently, central toxic keratopathy (CTK) developed bilaterally. Three weeks after the surgery, the right eye showed signs of progressive epithelial ingrowth involving the pupillary area. Surgical intervention in the form of flap relift followed by debridement of the epithelial cells and an alcohol interface wash were performed to treat the same. This is the first report of an epithelial ingrowth following CTK after femtosecond LASIK.

    Abstract Purpose: Fishing stands out as a widely enjoyed leisure pursuit. While ocular fishing injuries are infrequent, they carry the potential for severe ocular trauma, and safe extraction of a fish hook can pose challenges. We here in report a series of 21 cases of penetrating injury to the cornea by fish hook, detailing successful surgical interventions employed for their management. The report not only outlines different techniques for the removal of fish hooks but also provides clarification on terminologies associated with various components of a fish hook.
    Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted at tertiary eye care centers in South India. Our hospitals cater to the states of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha. All medical records of patients who attended the emergency department from the period of 2003 to 2023 were evaluated and all patients with fish hook injury were included in the study. This is the longest and largest study in India.
    Results: Twenty-one cases of ocular fish-hook injuries were presented to the emergency room between 2003 and 2023. Patients were between the ages of 9 and 59 years (mean, 29.4 years), and 90.4 % (19 out of 21) were males. Patient demographics, injury characteristics, surgical interventions, and visual outcomes were meticulously documented. Out of 21 cases, three cases (14.3 %) had blunt trauma, 17 cases (80.9 %) had penetrating injury and one case had lid laceration. Patients had better visual outcomes after the second surgery. Out of 21 cases, 7 (33.3 %) had post-operative visual acuity (VA) between 20/20 and 20/40. Three (14.3 %) had post-operative VA between 20/60 and 20/125. Five (23.8 %) had post-operative VA between 20/200 and 20/600. Six cases (28.6 %) had poor visual outcomes of which two had no perception of light (NPL), two had Hand movements and the other two had the perception of light present and projection of rays inaccurate CONCLUSION: This extensive case series underscores the complexity of ocular injuries caused by fish hooks and emphasizes significance of tailored surgical approaches for optimal visual outcomes. The hook can be successfully removed with minimal trauma to ocular structures by understanding structure of fish hook and by employing appropriate method of extraction.

    Abstract Purpose: To study impact of COVID-19 related national lockdown on care of corneal transplantation patients at a tertiary eye centre in Andhra Pradesh state of South India.
    Methods: Cross-sectional questionnaire-based study conducted at tertiary eye care centre in Andhra Pradesh state of South India, included 109 patients who underwent keratoplasty(full thickness or partial thickness) at our centre and who came for follow-up visit after lockdown. Factors such as type, indication, number of keratoplasties in the operated eye, and unusual clinical outcomes identified during visit after the lockdown, were studied. Uncorrected visual acuity, best corrected visual acuity, clarity of graft, graft-host junction apposition, intactness of sutures, intraocular pressure and disc status were compared on visits made before and after lockdown.
    Results: During lockdown, 77.1% patients were properly using medications that was significantly (P = 0.0003) lower than that of before the lockdown (90.8%). After the lockdown, 82.3% patients were using medications properly that was comparable (P = 0.11) to that of during the lockdown (77.1%). The proportion of eyes with clear grafts and intact sutures decreased significantly after lockdown. The unusual outcomes observed after the lockdown were graft failure (36.7%), graft edema (11%), graft infiltrate(5.5%), phthysis bulbi (1.85%) and edematous graft cleared in eyes 3.7% eyes.
    Conclusion: We noted significant drop in usage of medications from 91% before lockdown to 77% during lockdown and maintained at 83% after lockdown. Edematous grafts increased from 41% before lockdown to 54% after the lockdown. Intactness of sutures decreased from 82% before lockdown to 69% after lockdown.

    Abstract Pyomyositis is a primary bacterial infection of striated muscles nearly always caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Development of the intramuscular abscess involving the extra-ocular muscles (EOMs) remains an extremely rare process. We herein present a case of isolated EOM pyomyositis involving superior rectus muscle in a 2-year male child who was referred with complaints of swelling in left eye (LE) and inability to open LE since last 1-month. Orbital computed tomography (CT) scan showed a well-defined, hypo-dense, peripheral rim-enhancing lesion in relation to left superior rectus muscle suggestive of left superior rectus abscess. The abscess was drained through skin approach. We concluded that pyomyositis of EOM should be considered in any patient presenting with acute onset of orbital inflammation and characteristic CT or magnetic resonance imaging features. Management consists of incision and drainage coupled with antibiotic therapy.

    Abstract Background/Aims: Information on eye diseases in blind school children in Allahabad is rare and sketchy. A cross-sectional study was performed to identify causes of blindness (BL) in blind school children with an aim to gather information on ocular morbidity in the blind schools in Allahabad and in its vicinity. Study Design and Setting: A cross-sectional study was carried out in all the four blind schools in Allahabad and its vicinity. Materials and Methods: The students in the blind schools visited were included in the study and informed consents from parents were obtained. Relevant ocular history and basic ocular examinations were carried out on the students of the blind schools. Results: A total of 90 students were examined in four schools of the blind in Allahabad and in the vicinity. The main causes of severe visual impairment and BL in the better eye of students were microphthalmos (34.44%), corneal scar (22.23%), anophthalmos (14.45%), pseudophakia (6.67%), optic nerve atrophy (6.67%), buphthalmos/glaucoma (3.33%), cryptophthalmos (2.22%), staphyloma (2.22%), cataract (2.22%), retinal dystrophy (2.22%), aphakia (1.11%), coloboma (1.11%), retinal detachment (1.11%), etc. Of these, 22 (24.44%) students had preventable causes of BL and another 12 (13.33%) students had treatable causes of BL. Conclusion: It was found that hereditary diseases, corneal scar, glaucoma and cataract were the prominent causes of BL among the students of blind schools. Almost 38% of the students had preventable or treatable causes, indicating the need of genetical counseling and focused intervention.
