BACKGROUND Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminium Garnet (Nd:YAG) laser is a solid state laser in which Nd:YAG is used as a laser medium. Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy introduced a technique for closed eye, effective and relatively safe opening of the opacified posterior capsule and laser capsulotomy rapidly became the standard of care. The aim of the study is to study the visual outcome following Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy for posterior capsular opacification. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a prospective study of 100 patients conducted in the Department of Ophthalmology, Government General Hospital, Kakinada, over a period of 2 years. RESULTS The observations from the study were analysed and compared with the existing studies in the literature. CONCLUSION Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy is safest and excellent procedure for restoring vision provided the vision loss is only due to posterior capsular opacification.

BACKGROUND Glaucoma is a group of eye disease, which results in damage to the optic nerve and vision loss, once it has occurred, is permanent. If treated early, it is possible to slow or stop the progression of disease with medication, laser treatment or surgery. Lens-induced glaucoma is a secondary glaucoma in which the crystalline lens is involved in the mechanism of raised Intraocular Pressure (IOP). The aim of the study is to study visual outcome in lens-induced glaucoma in patients attending at Government General Hospital, Kakinada, from December 2014 to August 2016. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a longitudinal study included 50 cases of different types of lens-induced glaucoma admitted in ophthalmic wards of Government General Hospital, Kakinada, during the period of December 2014 to August 2016. RESULTS The observations from the study were analysed and compared with the existing literature and the factors influencing the visual outcome. CONCLUSION The lens-induced glaucomas are a condition of old age with increased risk in females.

INTRODUCTION Primary open angle glaucoma is a chronic progressive multifactorial optic neuropathy with a raised intra ocular pressure, acquired loss of optic nerve fibres and visual field defects which develops in the presence of open anterior chamber angles. Various types of anti-glaucoma drugs are available commercially and an Ophthalmologist can prefer proper anti-glaucoma drugs for a better visual outcome. AIM The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy of fixed combinations of various topical anti-glaucoma drugs. MATERIALS &METHODS This is a prospective study of 30 patients, conducted in the department of ophthalmology, Government General Hospital, Kakinada over period of 2 years. RESULTS The observations from the study were analyzed and compared with the existing studies in the literature. Mean age group of the patients belong to the adults between 40-89 years, males affected more than females. CONCLUSION It was observed that the combination of Latanoprost 0.005%+Timolol 0.05% topical drops is more effective than other combinations.
