Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcome following intraoperative transzonular intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide and moxifloxacin in patients undergoing phacoemulsification cataract extraction with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Methods: In this prospective, non-randomized, clinical, interventional study, a total of 200 eyes were enrolled. Patients who voluntarily gave their consent after being informed about dropless cataract surgery along with its pros and cons were included. Those who had glaucoma or were known steroid responders as well as those who were lost to follow-up were excluded. 0.1 ml each of moxifloxacin (500 mg) and triamcinolone acetonide (4 mg) were injected transzonularly following IOL implantation in phacoemulsification cataract surgery with the help of 27G curved cannula. Slit-lamp examination was done to detect cells, visual acuity was noted, and intraocular pressure was measured postoperatively on day 1, 7, 30, 60, and 90. Results: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) greater than 6/9 was achieved in 96% of patients at the end of 3 months. The mean IOP was found to be normal in all the cases at every visit. Twenty patients complained of floaters on postoperative day 1 (D1), which decreased to zero after 60 days (D60). None of the patients needed any eye drop during the entire postoperative period. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that this procedure is advantageous and safe.

The ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) is an essential part of modern phacoemulsification surgery. Many times, OVDs are blamed for intraocular pressure spikes, toxic anterior segment syndrome, and capsular bag distension syndrome. To avoid these complications, we developed a technique in which phacoemulsification can be done without using OVDs. The irrigating cannula, on a continuous irrigation mode, was introduced through a side port, and capsulorhexis and incision construction were performed under an irrigating balanced salt solution. No hydroprocedure was performed. Phacoemulsification was done by chopping technique. At the end of the procedure, the intraocular lens was implanted by wound assistance technique under a continuous irrigation mode.

Fibrolipomas are a fat-containing lesions that are characterised by the presence of adipose tissue and rich amounts of fibrous tissues. We present a case of a18-year-old female presented with complaints of swelling over outer part of left eye for 2 years . Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed T1 and T2 hyper-intense lesion in temporal aspect of left eyeball without any involvement of optic nerve or any hypertrophy of extra-ocular muscles. A careful dissection was done because of proximity of the lesion with lateral rectus and optic nerve, followed by excision. The diagnosis of fibrolipoma was made on histopathological examination. Fibrolipoma is a rare variant of the lipoma and only few cases have been reported in the orbit till date. The case we have reported is first of its kind in India.
