Abstract

Dr. Daljit Singh (Amritsar)daljits1@gmail.comI have been working on the fluid movement in the anterior segment through lymphatics. The standard teaching is that there are no lymphatics in the eye. I wish to start my association with PJO by attaching a self explanatory picture of the limbus showing lymphatics. If the ophthalmologists start looking at the limbus under high power of slit lamp microscope, they shall get a gold mine of information on lymphatics. Once you understand their importance, you shall not like to hurt them during any surgery especially during glaucoma surgery.During my recent visit to Pakistan, i had an opportunity to go to Fauji hospital in Rawalpindi and Mughal hospital in Lahore. We do not have a single charitable hospital of such grandeur in our Punjab, in public or private sector. There must be many others too, which I have not seen. I saw the surgeons perform in excellent operation theater environment, which is superior to ours.My congratulations to Pakistani ophthalmologists who made that possible.
