Comprehensive Ophthalmology Free Papers Fundus picture showed grade ΙΙ hypertensive retinopathy in both the cases (i.e. moderate arteriolar narrowing and arteriovenous crossing changes). CSR Gass JDM 35 reported that 90% of pregnant women with central serous retinopathy develop white fibrinous subretinal exudates usually in third trimester. Cruysberg J.R et. al. reported CSR in three pregnant women. All of them presented with central scotoma and symptoms disappeared spontaneously after delivery. In this present study we found one cases (6.6%) (35 weeks GA) presenting with central scotoma for ten days. Her visual acuity at the time of presentation was 6/12 in right eye and 6/6 in left eye. On fundus examination there was retinal edema surrounding macula and white subretinal exudate temporal to macula in right eye and normal fundus picture of left eye. Right eye was diagnosed as central serous retinopathy. During postpartum period her vision was gradually improved and she attained vision of 6/6 in both the eyes. Fundus picture showed resolution of retinal edema, mild mottling and subretinal exudate in right eye. In conclusion the intraocular pressure decreased in 1st, 2nd, 3rd trimester and PIH cases when compared to the control group. Intraocular pressure levels decreased more in 3rd trimester when compared to 1st trimester with P value
70th AIOC Proceedings, Cochin 2012 Colour Vision Problems in The Paintings by Rabindranath Tagore Dr. Jajneswar Bhunia Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore is internationally well known for his extra-ordinary literary works, especially the “Geetanjali”. He had started drawing sketches and created many color paintings towards the later part of his life. Plenty of comments from many prominent personalities regarding the unusual use of color in Rabindranath’s paintings are available in literatures and biographies. 1,2 Tagore met the famous intellectual Romain Rolland at Villeneuve in Italy in July, 1926. According to Rolland, “Tagore said that he could respond very little or not at all to the ‘red’ color. In Italy, Tagore was not at all attracted to the wide fields of red poppy flowers, almost like a spreading fire engulfing the countryside. On the other hand, he used to have immense pleasure in looking at the various shades of blue and violet colors”. 2 Stella Kramrisch 1 was the famous international art historian from Austria. Rabindranath invited her for teaching the students of Kalabhaban at Shantiniketan. She had spent long time staying within the campus of Shantiniketan around 1920s and closely watched the paintings of Rabindranath. She commented “Reds would be dark or even black while greens would be light in tone, and, in using these colors in ‘conjoint effect’ Tagore would be influenced by differences of tone and perhaps not at all by the differences of colors as we see them.” 2,9 John Dalton first reported about defective color vision as an experience of his own color blindness named as “Extraordinary facts relating to the Vision of Colors” in 1794. He had described “That part of the image which others call red appears to me little more than a shade, or defect of light”. In common with his brother he confused Scarlet with Green and Pink with Blue. Dalton supposed that his vitreous humour was tinted blue, selectively absorbing longer wavelengths. He instructed that his eyes should be examined after his death. His family physician did an autopsy examination of the eyes only to find out that the vitreous was perfectly clear. After 150 years David M. Hunt et. al. did a chemical analysis of the old DNA extracted from the preserved eye of John Dalton to arrive at a resolution that the great scientist John Dalton was a Dichromat…….a Deuteranope. 3 John Dalton himself was aware of his defective color perception and left a vivid description of his mistakes and confusions in recognizing colors. His preserved eye was also available for DNA analysis. Accordingly David M. Hunt et. al. could conduct a direct chemical analysis of his body tissue as well 460
