Objectives: To study the etiology and visual acuity profile of ophthalmic medicolegal cases presenting to a tertiary care hospital. Study Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Lahore General Hospital, Lahore. Period: 1-3-2017 to 30-10-2018. Methodology: This retrospective study was conducted after taking ethical approval from the institutional review board. Record of medicolegal cases presenting during the study period were studied and assessed. In this study, etiology of trauma inflicted to eye and visual acuity at presentation were analyzed in addition to the age, gender and eye distribution. Age and visual acuity were categorized into subsets for assessment. Results: The authors reviewed the data of 40 ophthalmic medicolegal cases presenting to the department. The medicolegal cases were common in patients aging between 21-30 years (32.5%) which predominantly involved males (65%). Right eye was involved in 40% of patients and 35% of patients had normal (6/6) visual acuity. Most common trauma inflicted to eye was by fist or blow from hand in 75% of cases. Conclusion: Trauma to eye in medicolegal cases is common and is frequently inflicted by fist or hand.

Objective: To measure the changes in ganglion cell complex as measured on optical coherence tomography (OCT) after intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (Avastin).

Purpose: The aim of this study was to find out Bacterial etiology and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of bacteria causing infective keratitis at a tertiary care hospital of LahoreStudy Design:Descriptive cross sectional studyStudy Place and Study Period: PGMI/AMC/LGH, Lahore, in 2015 - 2018. Sample Collection: Non-probability convenience samplingMaterial and Methods: The corneal scrapings taken by the ophthalmologist was immediately inoculated on Chocolate agar, Blood agar and MacConkay agar culture plates with the help of sterilized wire loop in the operation theater.These plates were taken to laboratory for incubation and further microbiological processing. After inoculating on the culture agar plates, the scrapings from cornea were smeared on glass slides with the help of sterilized wire loop. The smears were air-dried stained with Gram’s stain, Kinyoun stain and Giemsa stain. The culture and staining were further processed for microbiological analysis of bacterial etiology and antimicrobial susceptibility.Results:7 of each cases of Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae were isolated accounting 28% of total bacteria. Gram negative bacteria are relatively sensitive to all groups of antibiotics as compared to Gram positive bacteria who were resistant of major groups of antibiotic like Fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides. Conclusion:We concluded that a cumulative antimicrobial data should be published from laboratory on antimicrobial susceptibiblity pattern of bacterial keratitis for its empirical treatment.
