The document summarizes a study on the effectiveness of drainage surgery for treating newvascular glaucoma in patients with diabetes. 75 drainage surgeries were performed over 5 years in patients with diabetes and newvascular glaucoma. The surgeries significantly reduced intraocular pressure and pain. Early postoperative complications included hemorrhage in 33.3% of patients and cataract formation in 9.3%. Late complications included iris capture in 6.7% and tube exposure in 1.3%. The conclusion is that drainage surgery should be the standard treatment for newvascular glaucoma in diabetes patients, especially when diabetes is well-controlled, and it requires collaboration between ophthalmologists, endocrinologists, and anesthes

This study evaluated myopia as a risk factor for glaucoma by examining 200 eyes of 100 patients with myopia. The study found that 18% of eyes had established glaucoma, while 84% showed suspicious optic disc changes. A majority (46%) of eyes had intraocular pressures in the higher teens, and 10% had pressures over 21 mmHg. High myopes were more likely to have pressures over 21 mmHg (60% of high myopes). While most eyes had open anterior chamber angles, myopic females had a higher prevalence of glaucoma (25%) than myopic males (11.54%). The study confirms that myopia is a risk factor for glaucoma, with primary open-angle
Minimally Invasive Treatment for Glaucoma and Cataract
Dr. David Donelson treats various vision conditions including cataracts, myopia, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. He also treats glaucoma using a minimally invasive surgery called Micro Invasion Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS), which involves a small internal incision and aims to reduce intraocular pressure through the eye's natural drainage pathways to help patients with mild-to-moderate open angle glaucoma, the most common type, especially when undergoing cataract surgery. MIGS has benefits over other glaucoma treatments like fewer side effects and potentially less need for eye drops.

Background: Vision is a means of communication of man with the external world. The impact of visual loss due to various ocular morbidities has profound implications for the person affected and the society as a whole. Diabetes has become one of the world’s most important public health problems & WHO indicate that 19% of world’s diabetic population lives in India. Diabetes related microvascular complications cause visual disability even in younger age group individuals. Aim: To estimate the magnitude of Glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy in diabetic patients in our institution. To create awareness about avoidable blindness in diabetic patients.To enlighten and thereby motivate the patient for further evaluation and follow up. Materials and methods: The study is a hospital- based , non- interventional, cross-sectional study. The ocular disorders are evaluated in 500 consecutive diabetic patients attending ophthalmology out patient department of Kanyakumari medical college hospital. Estimation of visual acuity, slit lamp examination, intraocular pressure, retinoscopy & fundus examination, visual field analysis , gonioscopy are done to detail the defective vision. Result analysis Data is analysed using SPSS. The common manifestations are cataract- 346 (69%), diabetic retinopathy- 94 patients (18.8%), glaucoma– 34 (6.8%). Patients with cataract are well managed by cataract extraction techniques. Prime importance is to create awareness and also diagnose the early changes of retinopathy and glaucoma.Treatment of glaucoma if instituted early will go a long way in preventing avoidable blindness Therefore periodic visual screening along with control of hyperglycemia and associated risk factors is needed to ensure good quality of vision.

This study evaluated the long term results of using a stainless steel wire micro-drainage device (SSWMDD) to surgically manage refractory primary open-angle glaucoma. 42 patients underwent the SSWMDD procedure, with follow up periods of at least 1 year. The procedure effectively controlled intraocular pressure in 97.6% of patients, either with or without medication. Complications such as choroidal effusion occurred in some cases but were managed successfully. The study concluded that SSWMDD filtration is a technically simple and safe procedure that is effective for long term IOP control in refractory glaucoma patients.
Hypotony Maculopathy
A 38-year-old myopic male presented with decreased vision in his left eye following glaucoma surgery with mitomycin C. He was diagnosed with hypotony maculopathy based on clinical findings of low intraocular pressure and macular folds. His vision improved to 20/40 after revision of the scleral flap to increase intraocular pressure. Hypotony maculopathy is a known complication of glaucoma surgery using antimetabolites like mitomycin C and can cause permanent vision loss if not addressed.

Abstract—Cataract is the main cause of blinding and Diabetes Mallitus (DM) is the one of major cause of early cataract. Patents of DM has poor So this study is aimed to assess the corneal endothelial cell count in patients of DM (Type 2)after phecoemulsification and intra-ocular lens implantation. This study was conducted on 66 patients of cataract, out of which 33 patients with and 33 without DM (Type 2). Both groups underwent pre operative investigation and ophthalmological assessment and then undergo phacoemulsification done by same surgeon. After phacoemulsification all cases were followed up on 1st day ,1st week,1 month and 3 months and Uncorrected visual acquity (UCVA), Best corrected visual acquity (BCVA),corneal thickness, endothelial cell count and morphometric analysis were recorded. Both groups parameters were compared with unpaired 't' test. At the end of 3 months it was found that the mean endothelial cell loss in Group A(Diabetic) was 6.9% ± 0.6 and in Group B (control) was 2.4% ± 0.3 suggesting that the corneal endothelium in diabetic patients is under metabolic stress, and weaker against mechanical loads, such as phacoemulsification, than that in non-diabetic subjects. Despite good glycemic control and no corneal abnormalities before surgery. Endothelium in diabetic subjects is more vulnerable to surgical trauma and has a lower capability in the process of repair. These findings should be considered when planning cataract surgery in patients with diabetes.IRJET - Classification of Retinopathy using Machine Learning
This document discusses using machine learning algorithms to classify different types of retinopathy from retinal images. It begins with an abstract that outlines using feature extraction and the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm to predict and classify disease in retinal images. The introduction then defines different types of retinopathy including diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, and retinopathy of prematurity. The literature review discusses research on retinal vascular development in premature infants, a classification system for retinopathy of prematurity, and automated detection of diabetic retinopathy from digital fundus images.
Diabetic Retinopathy Detection System from Retinal Images
Diabetes Mellitus is a disorder in metabolism of carbohydrates, and due to lack of the pancreatic hormone insulin sugars in the body are not oxidized to produce energy. Diabetic Retinopathy is a disorder of the retina resulting in impairment or vision loss. Improper blood sugar control is the main cause of diabetic retinopathy. That is the reason why early detection of retinopathy is crucial to prevent vision loss. Appearance of exudates, microaneurysms and hemorrhages are the early indications. In this study, we propose an algorithm for detection and classification of diabetic retinopathy. The proposed algorithm is based on the combination of various image processing techniques, which includes Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization, Green channelization, Filtering and Thresholding. The objective measurements such as homogeneity, entropy, contrast, energy, dissimilarity, asm, correlation, mean and standard deviation are computed from processed images. These measurements are finally fed to Support Vector Machine and k Nearest Neighbors classifiers for classification and their results were analysed and compared.

High Frequency Deep Sclerotomy (HFDS)
This document provides information on High Frequency Deep Sclerotomy (HFDS) surgery for glaucoma. It describes HFDS as a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery that bypasses the trabecular meshwork by using a high frequency probe to create multiple sclerotomies, allowing aqueous humor to drain directly into Schlemm's canal. The document discusses the surgical procedure for HFDS and presents a case study demonstrating reduced intraocular pressure following the surgery. It also compares HFDS to other glaucoma surgeries such as trabeculectomy and reviews their respective success rates and complication profiles.
1 s2.0-s0886335012010061-main
This study evaluated the use of multiple trabecular micro-bypass stents combined with cataract surgery in 53 eyes of patients with open-angle glaucoma and cataract. The study found that using 2 or 3 micro-bypass stents led to a mean postoperative intraocular pressure of 14.3 mm Hg, significantly lower than the preoperative pressure of 18.0 mm Hg. Patients were also able to achieve their target pressure control with significantly fewer glaucoma medications, with a 74% reduction in the mean number of medications used from 2.7 preoperatively to 0.7 at the 1-year follow up. Patients who received 3 stents were on significantly fewer medications than those who received
Scientific session
This study aimed to determine the incidence of posterior capsular opacity (PCO) after small incision cataract surgery in age-related cataracts and identify associated risk factors. A total of 125 eyes were followed up for 6 months post-operatively. The overall PCO incidence was 29.6%. PCO was significantly lower in patients who received continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis compared to envelope capsulotomy (22.2% vs 43.2%), and in those who underwent hydrodelineation compared to no hydrodelineation (22% vs 50%). Intraoperative complications like uveitis and iridodialysis were also associated with increased PCO risk. The study concluded that PCO
IRJET- Detection of Diabetic Retinopathy using Convolutional Neural Network
This document describes research using a convolutional neural network to detect diabetic retinopathy from fundus images. The researchers trained a CNN model on a dataset of over 35,000 fundus images to classify images into five stages of diabetic retinopathy severity. The CNN model extracts features from input fundus images and uses activation functions and optimization algorithms to output a classification. The classification along with patient details will generate a standardized report on diabetic retinopathy detection and diagnosis.
Macular hole sugery
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of metamorphopsia (distorted vision) in patients who underwent successful surgery for retinal detachment involving the macula. The study found that 54% of patients experienced metamorphopsia after surgery. Macular folds seen on imaging were most strongly correlated with metamorphopsia. While surgery successfully reattached the retina in all cases, metamorphopsia remained a common functional impairment, likely caused by residual retinal distortion at the macula.
Angle Recession Glaucoma
The document summarizes several studies on angle recession glaucoma following blunt ocular trauma.
The first study found that ultrasound biomicroscopy is useful for detecting angle pathology when the media is hazy. Surgical treatment resulted in more stable and normal intraocular pressure compared to medical treatment alone.
The second study in Bangladesh found that conservative treatment controlled intraocular pressure in most cases, while a small percentage required surgery.
The third study found that trabeculectomy with antimetabolic drugs was most effective for uncontrolled angle recession glaucoma, but carried a higher risk of late bleb infection.

One stage verses two stage surgeries for cat and glaucoma
1) The study compared outcomes of one-stage versus two-stage surgeries for patients with coexisting glaucoma and cataract.
2) For the one-stage surgery group (PIT), visual acuity and IOP outcomes were better in the early postoperative period compared to the two-stage surgery group (TPI).
3) The one-stage surgery group had fewer intraoperative complications and lower rates of early postoperative complications compared to the two-stage surgery group.
Postoperative Vision Loss - Kathy Alwon
Postoperative vision loss (POVL) can occur after certain surgical procedures and is associated with patient positioning and other factors that compromise blood flow to the optic nerve. The document discusses POVL, including reported incidence rates after different surgeries. It reviews anatomy of the eye, normal blood flow, and how compromised flow can lead to vision loss through ischemic optic neuropathy or retinal ischemia. Risk factors discussed include prone positioning, steep Trendelenberg positioning, surgery duration over 6 hours, blood loss over 1000mL, obesity, and male sex. Interventions to reduce risk include careful patient positioning, limiting crystalloid fluids, using colloids, taking breaks in steep Trendelenberg every 4 hours, and applying eye drops
Glaucoma Detection in Retinal Images Using Image Processing Techniques: A Survey
Glaucoma is a disease associated with human eyes and second conducting movement o fblindness across the globe if
eyes are not treated at preliminary stage. Glaucoma normally occurs with increased intra-ocular pressure (IOP) in eyes and gradually damagesthe vision field of eyes. The term ocular-hypertension is related to those people in whom IOP increases consistently and does not damage the optic nerve. Glaucoma has different types such as open-angle, close-angle, congenital, normal tension and etcetera. Normal tension glaucoma affects vision field and damages optic nerve as well. The term angle means the distance between iris and cornea; if this distance is large it is referred to as open-angle glaucoma and similarly if the distance between iris and cornea is short than this is called close-angle glaucoma. Open-angle glaucoma is common as compared to close-angle glaucoma. Close-angle glaucoma is very painful and affects vision field of eyes quickly as compared to open-angle glaucoma. In this
paper, the state of the art CAD systems and image processing methods are studied and compared systematically in terms of their classification accuracy, methodology approach, sensitivity and specificity. The comparison results indicate that the accuracy of these CAD systems and image processing methods is not up to the mark.
Hyprereflective foci in Diabetic Macular edema
This study investigated the association between hyperreflective foci seen on optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans in the outer retinal layers of patients with diabetic macular edema (DME), the integrity of the photoreceptor layer, and visual acuity. The study found that 58% of eyes with DME showed hyperreflective foci in the outer retinal layers on OCT scans. Eyes with these foci had significantly worse visual acuity compared to those without. Disruption of the external limiting membrane and junction between inner and outer photoreceptor segments on OCT were both significantly associated with worse visual acuity and the presence of hyperreflective foci in the outer retinal layers. This suggests damage to the photoreceptor layer is closely

One stage verses two stage surgeries for cat and glaucoma
1) The study compared outcomes of one-stage versus two-stage surgeries for patients with coexisting glaucoma and cataract.
2) For the one-stage surgery group (PIT), visual acuity and IOP outcomes were better in the early postoperative period compared to the two-stage surgery group (TPI).
3) The one-stage surgery group had fewer intraoperative complications and lower rates of early postoperative complications compared to the two-stage surgery group.
Postoperative Vision Loss - Kathy Alwon
Postoperative vision loss (POVL) can occur after certain surgical procedures and is associated with patient positioning and other factors that compromise blood flow to the optic nerve. The document discusses POVL, including reported incidence rates after different surgeries. It reviews anatomy of the eye, normal blood flow, and how compromised flow can lead to vision loss through ischemic optic neuropathy or retinal ischemia. Risk factors discussed include prone positioning, steep Trendelenberg positioning, surgery duration over 6 hours, blood loss over 1000mL, obesity, and male sex. Interventions to reduce risk include careful patient positioning, limiting crystalloid fluids, using colloids, taking breaks in steep Trendelenberg every 4 hours, and applying eye drops
Glaucoma Detection in Retinal Images Using Image Processing Techniques: A Survey
Glaucoma is a disease associated with human eyes and second conducting movement o fblindness across the globe if
eyes are not treated at preliminary stage. Glaucoma normally occurs with increased intra-ocular pressure (IOP) in eyes and gradually damagesthe vision field of eyes. The term ocular-hypertension is related to those people in whom IOP increases consistently and does not damage the optic nerve. Glaucoma has different types such as open-angle, close-angle, congenital, normal tension and etcetera. Normal tension glaucoma affects vision field and damages optic nerve as well. The term angle means the distance between iris and cornea; if this distance is large it is referred to as open-angle glaucoma and similarly if the distance between iris and cornea is short than this is called close-angle glaucoma. Open-angle glaucoma is common as compared to close-angle glaucoma. Close-angle glaucoma is very painful and affects vision field of eyes quickly as compared to open-angle glaucoma. In this
paper, the state of the art CAD systems and image processing methods are studied and compared systematically in terms of their classification accuracy, methodology approach, sensitivity and specificity. The comparison results indicate that the accuracy of these CAD systems and image processing methods is not up to the mark.
Hyprereflective foci in Diabetic Macular edema
This study investigated the association between hyperreflective foci seen on optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans in the outer retinal layers of patients with diabetic macular edema (DME), the integrity of the photoreceptor layer, and visual acuity. The study found that 58% of eyes with DME showed hyperreflective foci in the outer retinal layers on OCT scans. Eyes with these foci had significantly worse visual acuity compared to those without. Disruption of the external limiting membrane and junction between inner and outer photoreceptor segments on OCT were both significantly associated with worse visual acuity and the presence of hyperreflective foci in the outer retinal layers. This suggests damage to the photoreceptor layer is closely

Endophthalmitis is one of the most devastating complications
of intraocular surgeries, leaving patients with permanently
poor vision. Since cataract surgery consists of a large part of
ophthalmic operations, the majority of literature reports about the endophthalmitis is focused on cataract surgery [1]. Chronic post cataract endophthalmitis generally caused by propionibacterium acnes, and this entity is an indolent form of endophthalmitis usually presented 6 weeks or more after cataract surgery [2]. We display a post traumatic cataract endophthalmitic case.Similar to 1230 (20)

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
