Hyaluronidase is not an essential adjuvant for peribulbar block for cataract surgeries. Appropriate deposition of a smaller volume of anesthetic agent and adequate ocular massage provide adequate and safe anesthesia.
Both the tonometers showed a significant correlation with the gold standard technique (Perkin's applanation tonometer) over a range of IOP and CCT with the Schiotz tonometer better than the NCT. This study proves that Schiotz tonometer can be recommended as a reliable screening tool in community outreach ophthalmology services. The twin advantages of portability and availability make the Schiotz tonometer a popular choice among ophthalmology trainees and optometrists in a developing country like India.
Individuals were found to have narrow angles more with SD-OCT. Sensitivity was high and specificity was low in detecting narrow angles compared to gonioscopy, making it an unreliable tool for screening.
