Primary open angle glaucoma is one of the leading causes of irreversible but preventable blindness in the population above the age of 40 years. This study was conducted to find out correlation between high myopia and primary open glaucoma with a view to ascertain whether high myopic (>-9 D) patients above the age of 40 years were at a higher risk of developing primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).
The present study was carried out on 84 eyes of 53 high myopic patients. It was found that there was a definite correlation between high myopia and primary open angle glaucoma patients. The incidence of primary open angle glaucoma was 19.05 %, whereas in glaucoma suspect cases, it was 13.09 %. The incidence of primary open angle glaucoma was clearly associated with refractive state and increased gradually with the increase in severity of myopia. We also found a significant correlation between mean axial lengths&mean intraocular pressure and correlation between mean axial length&mean cup disc ratio of all myopic eyes. The gross appearance of the highly myopic eyes was oval or egg shaped, it was enlarged, but the elongation of the eyes was almost entirely confined to the posterior pole, the anterior half of the globe was usually normal.

Introduction: Ocular trauma is a common co-existing injury, often missed, in poly-trauma. Delayed diagnosis may lead to vision threatening consequences. It is important to diagnose it early so as to prevent ocular morbidity.
Patients and Methods: A prospective observation study comprising 50 patients with positive Ultrasound findings referred to our department and having history of ocular trauma. Ocular Ultrasound was done and various findings were recorded and analysed.
Aims and Objectives: To study the spectrum of ultrasound findings in ocular trauma and to advocate the liberal use of Ultrasound in this clinical setting.
Observations and Results: The age of the patients in the sample ranged from 8-63 years with mean age being 26 years. The commonest pathologies to be encountered were vitreous haemorrhage and anterior chamber abnormalities. Foreign body detection and retinal detachment followed thereafter. Other abnormalities of globe, lens, retinal detachment and choroid detachment were also observed and analysed.
Conclusion: In our study, the higher percentage of major ophthalmologic findings like vitreous haemorrhage and anterior chamber abnormalities appear to be due to the fact mainly those patients, in whom clinical examination was not possible, were referred for ocular Ultrasound examination. These included ones in whom eyelids were either swollen or had open injuries, and also in whom posterior chamber was inadequately visualized due to anterior chamber rendered opaque by injury. The study showed that ultrasound is an excellent modality to diagnose extent and nature of ocular trauma. Thus we propose liberal use of ocular ultrasound in an emergency setting of ocular trauma.

Despite high success rate of Refractive surgeries, contact lenses still continue to be good modality to overcome low vision due to refractive error. But along with the ease to use and disinfecting, the same continue to pose a challenge for an ophthalmologist when it comes to its complications. Long term wearing of contact lenses can involve not only the cornea but also the conjunctiva, and lids which in turn can lead not only to mild visual blurring but also permanent blindness if not detected at an early stage. The present study was conducted on 250 contact lens wearers and they were evaluated to determine the types and incidence of complications associated with prolonged use of contact lenses.Keywords
