OCT may help Diagnose and Prognosticate Retinal Degeneration in patients with Wilson’s disease

Wilson’s disease (WD) is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in the ATP7B gene, resulting in the accumulation of copper in various organs such as the liver, brain, cornea, and more. This condition is treatable, but if left untreated, it can lead to permanent disability or even death. Common clinical presentations of WD include hepatic, […]

Pre-operative optical coherence tomography macula: An indispensable investigation to predict post-operative outcomes

The field of ophthalmology has made remarkable advancements in recent years, with a primary objective of restoring vision to those who have lost it or are at risk of losing it. Cataracts, a leading cause of blindness, have seen a significant transformation in surgical techniques. Innovations such as phacoemulsification, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery, corneal astigmatism […]

Bilateral implantation of trifocal IOLs optimal option for correcting presbyopia: JAMA

A recent study published in JAMA Ophthalmology suggests that the most favorable approach to correct presbyopia is the bilateral implantation of trifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). The study utilized Bayesian network meta-analysis (NMA) to compare various types of multifocal and monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) commonly used in clinical practice. The objective was to assess the outcomes […]

Non-segmental vitiligo closely related to ocular problems: Study

Approximately 1% of the global population is affected by vitiligo, a condition characterized by the presence of white skin lesions. The majority, around 90%, of vitiligo cases fall into the nonsegmental category, which typically develops gradually in adulthood. Vitiligo involves the damage to melanocytes, specialized skin cells responsible for producing pigment. Melanocytes can be compromised […]
