Discussion:

  1. Question put forth by Dr. Ravin N. Das, answered by Dr. Atul Mishra & Dr. H. S. Ray: Why does CNVM have a predilection for the macular area. In reply - The macular area is a relatively avascular area of the retina, therefore hypoxia is more pronounced. CNVM arises due to this hypoxia.
  2. Dr. Ravin N. Das informed the members present about two web sites eyefloaters.com and vitreousfloaters.com detailing treatment for vitreous floaters using a specially designed YAG LASER.
  3. Professor Dr. R. K. Mishra suggested a uniform consent form for informed consent prior to eye surgery. The form should be detailed as per the procedure and should be in English and Hindi.
  4. MP State Conference for the year 2005 should not be held as AIOS conference is to be held in Bhopal in January 2006 and it will be difficult for the hosts (JDOS) to get sponsors and the likelihood of low attendance in the State Conference.
