Eye examination of patients with PHACE(S) syndrome with no IFH at periorbital region is reported to be of low yield. We report a unique case of the syndrome with ocular manifestations without periorbital IFH or systemic findings. A 3-week-old female infant with right periauricular IFH >5 cm, extending to the neck and cheek and lower lip IFH was presented. Examination revealed pseudoptosis due to microphthalmia with esotropia and hypertropia. Both corneas were clear with diameters of 5 mm and 10 mm, right eye (RE) and left eye (LE), respectively. There was a posterior polar cataract with a poor view of the fundus RE. Ocular B-scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were suggestive of a dysmorphic globe, vitreous hemorrhage, spherophakia and persistent fetal vasculature RE and normal findings LE. Clinical evaluation, MRI, and MR angiography revealed no...

Materials and Methods: Ninety adult patients aged between 45 and 65 years with age-related cataract were matched with ninety adult patients aged between 45and 65 years without cataract based on age and gender. Pretested interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to obtain information on demographics, educational levels, and occupation. Cataract was evaluated using a modified World Health Organization grading system. Body mass index (BMI) was categorized into four groups (underweight: BMI 15–19.9; normal weight: BMI 20–24.9; overweight: BMI 25–29.9; and obese: BMI >30). The association between degree and type of cataract and obesity was evaluated. Data was analyzed using IBM SPSS version 21. Confidence intervals of 95% and P < 0.005 were considered statistically significant. Results: Female participants had significantly higher mean BMI...
