Fuch,s Corneal Endothelial Dystrophy (FCED) is a degenerative disease of the corneal endothelium with accumulation of focal outgrowths called guttae (drops) and thickening of descemets membrane, leading to corneal edema and loss of vision.
Comprehensive Ophthalmology
Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) is a high resolution ultrasound technique used for imaging of structural details of anterior segment at near microscopic resolution. It provides for detailed 2-D gray scale images of conjunctiva, cornea and anterior sclera, anterior chamber and angle structures, ciliarybody, crystalline lens, zonules, capsular remnants and anterior vitreous.
Alzheimer’s disease, a neurodegenerative disorder is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. Approximately 10% of all patients over the age of 70 have significant memory loss, and in more than half the cause is Alzheimer’s disease.
To study resistance of organisms causing endophthalmitis to routinely used Fluoroquinolones
Ophthalmoscopy is required to be done in various emergency and non-emergency settings1. It is a useful clinical tool in emergency room to rule out certain life threatening conditions like features of raised intra cranial pressure in the form of papilledema.
Pterygium is characterized by elastotic degeneration of conjunctiva.
To evaluate role of Ultrasound Biomicroscopy( UBM )and Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography ( AS OCT ) in psuedophakic corneal oedema.
To know the perception of young ophthalmologists about their dissertation and academics during residency training in order to improve the research output during present residency programs in India
India with 1.2 billion people, has hospitals where ophthalmologists screen large number of cataract patients, with chance of the macular pathology being missed during preoperative evaluation, leading to error of judgment regarding the post operative visual outcome. This pilot study determines if compulsory Spectral Domain Optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) of macula can minimise post-operative surprises.
FP687 : Do All Dry Eye Complain Patients Have Really Dry Eyes?A prospective study performed on 460 consecutive patients who had complaints of dry eye. All were subjected to tear analysis by Schirmers test, tear lab (Osmolarity) and keratography (aqueous layer, mucin layer, lipid layer), and Tear Break Up time (TBU).
