Item Ocular manifestations in moderate-to-severe psoriasis in India: A prospective observational study(All India Ophthalmological Society, 2022-09) Kharolia, Anjali; Parija, Sucheta; Moharana, Bruttendu; Sirka, Chandra Sekhar; Sahu, Sandip KumarPurpose: Ocular manifestations in psoriasis are due to direct eye involvement with psoriatic plaques or psoriasis?related, immune?mediated inflammatory processes. The commonly reported pathologies are blepharitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, dry eyes, and uveitis. Limited data is available on the ocular findings in psoriasis patients in India. In this study, we evaluated various ocular changes associated with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, treatment?naive psoriasis patients with Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) score of more than 10 were included. The Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score, Schirmer’s score, tear film breakup time (TBUT), corneal and conjunctival staining score, and meibomian gland dysfunction score were noted. All these parameters were re?evaluated at 8 weeks of follow?up after systemic treatment. Results: Sixty-eight patients were enrolled in the study. The most common ocular pathologies observed in this study were tarsal hyperemia and anterior blepharitis in 128 (94.1%) and 64 (47%) eyes, respectively. Mild, moderate, and severe dry eyes were seen in 26 (19.1%), 14 (10.2%), and 34 (25%) eyes, respectively. Thirty?nine (57.3%) patients complained of significant difficulty watching television or digital screen. In 21 patients evaluated on follow?up at 8 weeks, cornea and conjunctiva’s ocular surface staining score increased and TBUT decreased significantly. Conclusion: The most common ocular pathologies observed in this study were anterior blepharitis and moderate dry eye, which significantly affected most patients’ daily routines. Screening patients with greater severity of psoriasis would help in early management of such problems.Item Papillomacular bundle sparing versus conventional internal limiting membrane peeling for idiopathic macular hole ?400 µm(All India Ophthalmological Society, 2023-03) Kumar, Aman; Moharana, Bruttendu; Katoch, Deeksha; Singh, RamandeepPurpose: To compare the outcomes of papillomacular bundle (PMB) sparing internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling (group LP) and conventional ILM peeling (group CP) for treatment of idiopathic macular hole (MH) of ?400 ?m. Methods: Fifteen eyes were included in each group. In group CP, conventional 360° peeling was done, while in group LP, ILM was spared over PMB. The changes in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thickness and ganglion cell?inner plexiform layer (GC?IPL) thickness were analyzed at 3 months. Results: MH was closed in all with comparable visual improvement. Postoperatively, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) was significantly thinner in the temporal quadrant in group CP. GC?IPL was significantly thinner in the temporal quadrants in group LP, whereas it was comparable in group CP. Conclusion: PMB sparing ILM peeling is comparable to conventional ILM peeling in terms of closure rate and visual gain, with the advantage of less retinal damage at 3 months.
