Purpose: To formulate a nomogram for management of keratoconus.
Methods: A three year prospective observational study of 527 patients with
keratoconus. Patients were categorized into 6 groups: 1 - 125 eyes managed
with contact lenses (CLs). 2 - 175 eyes treated with collagen crosslinking
(C3R). 3 - 107 eyes treated with INTACS + C3R. 4 - 25 eyes treated with ICL.
5 - 45 eyes treated with TopoPRK + C3R. 6 - 57 eyes underwent keratoplasty.
Results: Nomogram was designed based on progression, centration, and
grade of keratoconus. Non progressive keratoconus (Group 1) was managed
with CLs and younger patients treated with ICL (Group 4). >95% showed
>2lines improvement in BCVA. Progressive keratoconus with central cone
(Group 2) were managed with C3R followed by CLs of which 20 patients
underwent ICL. In decentered keratoconus (Group 3), Intacs was done initially
and C3R after one month. Advanced decentered keratoconus (Group 5) were
treated with TopoPRK + C3R. Corneas with scarring (Group 6) underwent
lamellar keratoplasty, 22 eyes underwent intralase enabled keratoplasty.
Outcomes, safety, efficiacy, and complications in each group were analyzed.
Conclusions: Our study provides a nomogram for management of keratoconus.
Taking into consideration various factors, it provides a simple algorithm for
management.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of Intravitreal diclofenac versus
Intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of diabetic macular edema.
Methods: Thirty two eyes with clinically significant diabetic macular edema
were included. Eyes were randomly allocated to either: intravitreal injection of
4mg/0.1ml of triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) (group 1; N = 16): or intravitreal
injection of 500µ /0.1ml of diclophenac (group 2; N = 16).
Results: A statistically significant reduction in retinal thickness (0.01 and
