FIVE MOST SIGNIFICANT PUBLICATIONS IN LAST FIVE YEARS

A."Complications of Hydroxyapatite Orbital Implants: A Review of 100 Cases and a Comparison of Dexon Mesh (Polyglycolic Acid) with Scleral Wrapping"
This paper was very well received, being highlighted on the cover of the journal and summarized within, as well as sparking intellectual response and being summarized in the Year Book of Ophthalmology the following year.  It is the most complete summary of complications from the hydroxyapatite implant and led to the abandonment of scleral wrapping in North America.

B."Ruptured Globes Following Radial Keratotomy Surgery"
This bold paper elucidated what many had suspected - that Radial Keratotomy permanently weakens the globe.  This operation is greatly in decline as a result of this paper, as well as the advent of Excimer laser technology.  It was reprinted in the Indian Edition of Archives.

C."Orbicularis Oculi Stimulation for Eyelid Closure in Seventh Nerve Palsy"
This publication summarized the current state of knowledge in this exciting research field, and pointed the way to future work and possibilities.

D."Carotid-Cavernous Fistula Mimicking Grave's Eye Disease"
The similarities between these two types of patients (one much more frequent than the other) had never been elucidated prior.

E."Treatment of Exposed Coral Implant after Failed Scleral Patch Graft"
The problem of exposure of hydroxyapatite implants is widespread; this paper described a much more effective technique, now widely adopted, to deal with this complication.
