Students' opinion in this evaluation of teaching is a good option. Methods: A questionnaire based study was conducted in Burdwan Medical College on 230 students of two batches. Results: One forty eight students thought that the subject was interesting. Twenty eight percent students opined that Pharmacology class was not interesting. Students found interest mostly in prescription writing, drug interaction and therapeutic problems in practical section. Though 53.4% found pharmacy was less interest. They suggested some reforms in teaching, 61.3% voted for introduction of audiovisual aid and 74.3% response on clinical demonstration in hospital ward. According to 82.6% students, there should be more problem solving exercise during teaching pharmacology; giving handout before everyday class, class in clinical setting and more emphasis on clinical pharmacology were also needed. MCQ exam only (31%) and written viva both (51%) were good ways of evaluation according to them. Conclusions: This study helps in knowing students' opinion and preferences in curriculum to make it more interesting and aids to modify the undergraduate Pharmacology teaching pattern.

Method:-A 23-year-old male presented with a history of pain, redness, photophobia, watering in right eye and his vision was reduced upon awakening. He was a known case of bilateral keratoconus who used rigid gas permeable contact lenses in both eyes on daily wear basis. Slitlamp examination revealed a paracentral stromal infiltrate in right eye. Corneal scrapings were collected for culture. Both contact lenses and lenses cleaning solution were collected for microbiological investigations. Result:-Corneal scraping revealed plenty gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and contact lenses cleaning solution revealed klebsiella. Conclusion:-Although microbial keratitis is an uncommon complication with rigid gas permeable contact lenses in keratoconus patients but it can be managed by proper microbiological work up and intensive medical care.
