To present the results of a panel consensus assessment of evaluation and therapy relating to primary open-angle glaucoma based on available evidence and expert opinion. ⋯ Given the paucity of high-quality evidence relating to many of the issues addressed in this assessment and the variability of practice patterns among ophthalmologists, consensus agreement or disagreement was reached for a high proportion of polling statements.

To report the epidemiological data, clinical profile, and surgical outcome of canalicular lacerations in an Indian population. ⋯ Canalicular involvement occurs in 36% of eyelid injuries. Injury by the "blouse-hook fastener" is unique to infants in the Indian context. Simultaneous globe injury is present in 25% of cases, especially when the upper canaliculus is involved. Mini-Monoka stent extrusions occur within one month. With an 11.1% extrusion rate, Mini-Monoka stents achieved good anatomical (90%) and functional (100%) success in the management of canalicular injury.

Comparative Study
The effect of laryngeal mask airway insertion on intraocular pressure measurement in children receiving general anesthesia.
To study changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) in children while under general anesthesia before and after laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion. ⋯ In our study, a small but significantly higher IOP was found after LMA insertion than before. It is recommended that the measurement of IOP in children receiving a general anesthetic is carried out before the insertion of the LMA.

To evaluate morphologic changes occurring in the retrobulbar region after optic nerve sheath decompression (ONSD) in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. ⋯ In early postoperative period after ONSD, a fluid collection adjacent to the decompression site occurs in most eyes; this finding disappears in late period. Early postoperative MR findings support the idea that ONSD functions through the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) filtration.
