Objectives: To study the demographic profile, clinical presentations, management and visual outcome of retinal vasculitis in a tertiary eye care center of Nepal Materials and methods: A retrospective, record based study of retinal vasculitis cases in the retina clinic of a tertiary care centre in Nepal from January 2009 to January 2011 was carried out. Results of the study were compared to those from the study conducted in a similar set- up between 1998 and 2000. Results: Sixty-nine eyes of 51affected patients were evaluated in the study. The male/female ratio was 2.64:1 vs 19:1 a decade ago (p=0.0027). The mean age of the patients was 33.53 ± 12.29 years in the present study. Bilateral ocular involvement was present in 18 cases (35.3%) vs 56.14% in the past decade (p=0044).The common symptoms were dimness of vision (29.4%), floaters (25.5 %) and flashes of light (3.92%). Seventy-one eyes (69.6%) had the best corrected visual acuity of 6/18 or better. Four eyes (3.92 %) had no light perception. Vascular sheathing was the most common finding (32.35%), followed by vitritis (30.39%). Corticosteroids were primarily used to manage retinal vasculitis (39.21%). No association of retinal vasculitis with tuberculosis was found.Conclusion: The demographic pattern and clinical presentation of idiopathic retinal vasculitis has changed over a decade period in Nepal.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nepjoph.v4i2.6541 Nepal J Ophthalmol 2012; 4 (2): 256-262

Background and Objectives : Ocular trauma can lead to development of cataract when natural lens is damaged by either blunt or penetrating injury. The management of traumatic cataract follows the same principle as for senile cataract but associated damage to ocular tissues and several post-operative complications may lead to suboptimal visual outcome. This study was conceptualized to evaluate the visual outcomes following management of traumatic cataracts. Material and Methods : This prospective, longitudinal study was conducted on 80 patients with traumatic cataract in tertiary care centre. Patients were managed surgically and were followed up for a period of six months. Visual acuity was measured at every follow-up visit and any post-operative complications were noted and managed, accordingly. Final visual acuity was assessed at the end of six months. Results: Maximum cases of traumatic cataract (53.75%) were observed in age group of <20 years with male to female ratio of 2.63:1. Maximum patients (92.15%) were implanted posterior chamber intraocular lens, either as a primary or secondary procedure. Uveitis and posterior capsular opacification were most common post-operative complications (30%) and 68.75% cases achieved a final visual acuity of 6/6-6/ 18 at the end of six months. Conclusions Traumatic cataract is an important cause of ocular morbidity specially in young patients. Surgery in cases of traumatic cataract can yield good visual outcomes if posterior segment is not involved and if post-operative complications are managed efficiently.

Iris Claw

A potential complication of cataract surgery is posterior capsular rent, where PCIOL can’t be implanted. Primary Iris claw implantation means that the IC-IOL is implanted in the same setting after cataract removal. While secondary Iris claw lens implant is done in an aphakic eye without capsular support and post cataract surgeries when the eye is left aphakic. To compare the visual outcome in cases of primary and secondary iris claw lens implantation after cataract surgery.This was a hospital-based Prospective Interventional Longitudinal study,conducted on patients in a tertiary care centre, in Western Maharashtra from September 2018 to August 2020. 31 eyes underwent primary iris claw implant and 19 underwent secondary iris claw implant. Highly significant difference in visual acuity preoperatively due aphakia among subjects who underwent secondary iris claw implantation (p=0.000) was seen. Highly significant difference in visual acuity post operatively till 15 days was also seen due to less corneal oedema& inflammation in patients who underwent secondary iris claw implantation. No significant difference in visual acuity was seen on day 40 as lens was put in both the groups and the signs of inflammation had reduced (p=0.759).Overall visual outcome after 40 days is comparable in primary and secondary cases. It is better to do a primary retro fixated iris claw implantation, as in case of a secondary implant the patient will have undue anxiety, to undergo a second surgery along with increased financial burden and patient can develop complications due to aphakia.
