It can either be due to an absolute insulin deficiency due to an autoimmune destruction of insulin secreting beta cells of the pancreas as in Type 1 Diabetes or a relative insulin deficiency due to insulin resistance in type 2 Diabetes. Diabetic Retinopathy and Diabetic peripheral neuropathy are two complications of this syndrome secondary to microvascular complications. Methods: The present study is to correlate the severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) with severity of diabetic peripheral (DPN) and serum lipid profile in patients with type 2 DM and included 214 patients who satisfied the selection criteria and gave written informed consent. For statistical analysis, the worse eye was considered and ETDRS grades of very mild and mild NPDR were grouped together and severe and very severe NPDR were grouped together. Results: In the present study, diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) was signi...

Involvement of other sites of body in rhinosporidiosis especially, the lacrimal sac involvement is very rare. Hence, we report a case of lacrimal sac rhinosporidiosis in an adult male patient who presented with infraorbital swelling.

Cornea being the most anterior structure of eye is exposed to various hazards like airborne debris and blunt trauma. By understanding different types of injuries to which cornea is exposed, the practitioner maybe more capable in managing injuries to minimise structural and visual sequelae. Objectives: To study various patterns of corneal injuries and its visual outcome among patients of ocular trauma in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: Study of 100 cases of corneal injuries wherein patients were treated according to injury type and followed up for 4 months. Results: Majority of patients belonged to working population between age groups 21-65 years. Most patients suffered from corneal abrasions while the least common were perforating and lacerating injuries. Alkali injuries were more common than acid injuries. Most patient presented within 24 hours and had only epithelial defects. Therefore, the number of patients receiving conservative management was higher than those receiving surgical intervention. Conclusion: Most common causes of blindness and low vision in our study was full thickness corneal laceration and corneal abrasions, foreign body injuries affecting the pupillary area and involving anterior or mid stroma causing nebular or macular grade opacities hampering vision.
