Introduction: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy, side effects and recurrence rate of vernal kerato conjunctivitis (VKC) with 0.03% tacrolimus and 0.05% cyclosporin. Material and method: A prospective randomised double blinded comparative study was conducted at a tertiary eye center. 46 Patients of VKC between March 2015-August 2015 were randomly divided into two groups and treated for 6weeks with either Tacrolimus(0.03%) eye ointment BD or Cyclosporine (0.05%) eyedrops QID.The main outcome measures were scoring and comparison of Total subjective symptom scores (TSSS) and Total objective ocular sign scores (TOSS) within and between the Groups at each follow up.Thirty two patients, sixteen from each group, with comparable baseline characters were analysed. Results: With treatment both TSSS and TOSS decreased consistently in both groups without any adverse effects but an increase in scores was noticed within two weeks after drug withdrawal. Conclusion: Both drugs are equally effective and safe in VKC but with short lasting effect.

We report a case of a 55-year-old female who presented with pain, redness, and profound visual loss in her right eye 2 weeks after cataract surgery. An ophthalmic examination showed light perception vision, corneal edema with severe anterior chamber reaction and hypopyon, exudative membranes on the anterior lens surface, and dense vitreous exudates. Under the impression of acute postoperative exogenous endophthalmitis, immediate pars plana vitrectomy with culture of vitreous aspirate and intravitreal antibiotic injections were performed. Bacterial growth was observed on culture plates and broths which were identified as Aeromonas salmonicida by VITEK 2 compact system. So far, no report has been published regarding endophthalmitis due to A. salmonicida. Here, we present the first report of A. salmonicida isolated from the ocular specimen.
