A rigid gas permeable (RGP) lens is good for correcting corneal astigmatism without inducing corneal hypoxia. However, despite the optical advantage of the RGP lens for correcting visual acuity, there may be circumstances in which a patient may choose not to wear the RGP lens. For example, because the RGP lens is smaller than the cornea, it may cause a foreign body sensation due to lens movement and blurring, especially at night. Thus, the success of the RPG lens prescription depends on the selection of the proper candidates and lenses, with appropriate fitting and follow-up management by a doctor.

INTRODUCTION: An ideal hernia repair should be tension free, tissue based, with no potential damage to vital structures, no long term pain or complications and no recurrence. Although Lichtenstein's prosthetic repair is simple and safe, but it is also correlated with risk of infections, recurrence, chronic pain, testicular atrophy and infertility, foreign body sensations and chronic groin sepsis. Desarda hernia repair does not require mesh and provide more physiological support. It is simple, easy to learn. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: a) To compare the operative time, postoperative stay and time required to return normal activity between two groups. b) To compare early complication rate and late complication rate between two groups. MATERIALAND METHODS: This observational study was conducted among patients admitted with the diagnosis of primary inguinal hernia in SMIMER, Surat. The patients were randomly allocated to either Lichtenstein or Desarda method of hernia repair. Operating time, post operative stay and duration of return to normal activity were recorded. Early complications were noted and the patients were followed up to 12 months for late complications (chronic pain, foreign body sensation, and recurrence). RESULTS: The mean operative time and postoperative stay did not show signicant differ for both groups. Patients operated by Desarda technique returned to normal activity signicantly early by 12.2 ± 2.54 days as compared to patients operated by Lichtenstein techniques (14.0 ± 2.76 days, p = 0.01). Most common early complication in both groups was pain (D group; 40.0%, Lgroup: 45.2%) followed by wound infection (D group; 8.0%, Lgroup: 6.5%) and seroma (D group; 0.0%, Lgroup: 3.2%). Occurrence of chronic pain was more in Lgroup (58.1%) as compared to D group (16.0%, p=0.001). None of the patients from D group had foreign body sensation. Foreign body sensation was observed only in ve patients of Lgroup (16.1%). Recurrence rate during one year in Lgroup (6.5%) was higher than D group (4.0%). CONCLUSION: Early return to work was potential benet of Desarda repair. Early complications were similar in both procedures. Desarda repair has lower incidence of chronic pain and foreign body sensation. However, there is no signicant difference for chronic pain in Desarda group when compared in same patients operated bilaterally with different technique. This study was conducted with small sample size with short follow up. Therefore, result of late complication in the present study may insufcient to conclude the probability of occurrence as longer follow up and larger sample size is required.

Exposure of implanted episcleral element is a rare complication of buckling procedures. We describe a 40-year-old man who presented to our clinic complaining of foreign body sensation and irritation in his left eye which lasted several months. The patient history was positive for bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment which was treated with sclera buckling. Upon presentation the left eye demonstrated phthisis and an exposed and infected sclera buckle and explant in the lower quadrants. The explant was removed, and the patient was treated with antibiotics. This case suggests that wide encircling sclera element might erode through the conjunctiva of eyes undergoing phthisis. Integrity of the conjunctiva overlying episcleral implant should be evaluated during routine follow-up exams to exclude exposure of the implant particularly in eyes undergoing phthisis.

Background: The ideal operation to treat inguinal hernia is still far to define. The Shouldice method and other tissue-based techniques are still acknowledged to be acceptable for primary inguinal hernia repair according to European Hernia Society guidelines. Desarda’s technique, presented in 2001, is an original hernia repair method using an undetached strip of external oblique aponeurosis. This randomized trial compared outcomes after hernia repair with Desarda and mesh-based Lichtenstein techniques.Methods: A total of 42 participants (40 males and 2 females) were randomly assigned to the Desarda (group 1) and Lichtenstein (group 2), 19 vs 23 respectively. The primary outcomes measured were recurrence (for maximum follow up of 1 year and minimum of 5 months) and chronic pain. Additionally, operative time, early and late complications, foreign body sensation, and return to everyday activity were examined in hospital and at 7, 30 days, and 6, 12 months after surgery.Results: During the follow-up, one recurrence was observed in Desarda group after 10 months of surgery. Chronic pain was experienced by 10.5% and 8.7% of patients from groups Desarda and Lichtenstein respectively. Foreign body sensation and return to activity were comparable between the two groups. Operative time was less in Desarda group. There was significantly less seroma production in the Desarda group.Conclusions: The results of primary inguinal hernia repair with the Desarda and Lichtenstein techniques are comparable at the 1 year follow up. The technique may potentially increase the number of tissue-based methods available for treating groin hernias.

Severe chemical burns can damage the periocular area causing exposure keratopathy and resulting in ocular pain, foreign body sensation, epiphora, photophobia, and vision loss. A custom fit large diameter therapeutic scleral lens can protect the ocular surface by preventing desiccation and providing immediate improvement in comfort. This case describes the management of a patient with extensive chemical burn with complete lid loss and exposure keratopathy who has maintained excellent visual acuity and comfort with therapeutic scleral lens use.

Background: Inguinal hernia is common surgical problem for which mesh based technique, particularly Lichtenstein repair is considered gold standard. However it has its own limitation such as foreign body sensation, wound infection, cord fibrosis, chronic pain, etc. Desarda technique for hernia repair is emerging technique for inguinal hernia repair known for its low cost procedure, less recurrence rate and feasibility of the procedure. The objective of the study was to compare treatment of primary inguinal hernia repair with these methods in terms of various operative and post-operative parameters.Methods: 64 patients included in the study and operated after randomization. Intra-operative time, local complication, return to everyday activity, post-operative pain, foreign body sensation and early recurrence were analysed.Results: 51 patients were analysed with a minimum follow up period of 3 months and rest were lost on follow up. Operative time was less in Desarda’s repair (28.24 vs. 30.88 min). Desarda repair was cost effective, return to everyday activity was early in Desarda group, there was significantly (p<0.001) less post-operative pain measured on VAS on 2nd POD, 7th POD and 1 month. No recurrence observed.Conclusions: Desarda repair is easy to perform and takes less time to perform, it is also cost effective. Desarda repair when compared with Lichtenstein was superior in terms of postoperative pain, return to everyday activity and no foreign body sensation. Desarda repair is superior to mesh based technique in terms of outcome.

Prescribing rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses involves a series of processes that determine the most appropriate final lens through the trial use of test lenses based on the results of slit lamp microscopy, measuring refraction and corneal curvature, and corneal topography. The final prescription is reached by judging the dynamic lens movement, adequacy of the tear layer around the lens, corrected vision, and quality of vision. Various problems are encountered soon after prescribing lenses, including foreign body sensation, tear hypersecretion, decreased visual acuity, blurring, visual acuity change, redness, dryness, sudden pain, lens centering, and lens fallout. Here, we examine these problems and how to solve them.

Abstract:External ophthalmomyiasis is an infestation of the eye with larvae of Dermatobia hominis or Oestrus ovis (sheep bot fly). We describe a case of ophthalmomyiasis in a 38-year-old male, who presented with ocular foreign body sensation, redness, pain, and watering of the eye. The causative larvae were removed and sent to the laboratory for identification. By studying morphological features, it was identified as the first instar larvae of O. ovis. The patient was put on topical and oral antibiotics but was lost to follow-up. This is probably the first report from this part of Karnataka.

The treatment of double strictures in the airway and the oesophagus has always been time-consuming and causes additional suffering. A new technique using an open approach with the placement of two Montgomery silicone T-tubes to support and dilate the two strictures was successfully performed on a patient after caustic substance ingestion. Scar tissue was incised before two T-tubes were positioned into the larynx and oesophagus through a laryngo-fissure approach. The tubes remained in position for one year and no complications occurred. No foreign body sensation or prosthesis migration was observed and the patient had nearly normal peroral alimentation. After removal of the tubes, follow-up for an additional two years revealed no recurrence of the stenoses and normal alimentation without stridor. This technique permits simultaneous stenting of strictures of the larynx and oesophagus by using a connecting suture between the superior parts of two stents.

Background: Inguinal hernias rank among the commonest of all hernias and surgery is the only definitive treatment. We analyzed the outcomes of desarda tissue based repair in comparison with the standard Lichtenstein tension free mesh repair of primary inguinal hernia.Methods: A total of 164 patients were randomly allocated into two groups, Desarda (group D) or Lichtenstein (group L) (80 VS 84, respectively). The primary outcome measures were chronic groin pain and recurrence during the follow up period. Secondary outcome measures included operating time, post-operative pain scores, duration of post-operative hospital stay, time to return to basic physical activity and to work, foreign body sensation, and post-operative complications.Results: During two year follow up, no recurrence was detected in each group. Operative time was significantly less in the Desarda group (28.91±5.82 min as compared to 34.07±8.63 min in the Lichtenstein group). Postoperative day 1, day 3 and day 7 groin pain was more in the Desarda as compared to the Lichtenstein group. Basic physical activity, chronic groin pain, cost, seroma formation, foreign body sensation, were also significantly less in the Desarda group.Conclusions: The successful primary inguinal hernia repair without mesh implantation can be achieved using Desarda tissue based repair, as it is effective as the standard Lichtenstein tension free mesh repair. Shorter operative time, early return to basic physical activity, lower cost, less chronic groin pain, less foreign body sensation are potential benefits of Desarda repair and can be preferred for inguinal hernia repair.
