While we, the authors of this article, cannot be always sure whether ""the eyes are the window to the soul"" in every human being, we are a hundred percent sure that the eyes are a window to one's health. This is true because a routine eye examination may at times reveal medical conditions not obvious elsewhere; because the first signs of disease may, at times appear in the eye. Right from birth, till almost the last breath of life, a comprehensive eye check-up may clench a systemic diagnosis, corroborate a particular diagnosis, help in differential diagnosis, assist in management or be useful in prognosticating a systemic condition. This holds true for all clinical specialties / super-specialties of medicine.

A red eye is the most common ocular disorder that primary care physicians encounter. Redness also has a significant cor-relation with gadget use e.g. Computers. Computers are probably one of the biggest scientific inventions of the modern era and they have become an integral part of our life. The increased use of computers has led to variety of ocular symptoms which include redness, eyestrain, tired eyes, blurred vision and diplopia collectively referred as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). CVS may have a significant impact not only on visual comfort but also occupational productivity since between 64% and 90% of computer users experience visual symptoms after prolonged computer use.

Treatment of corneal infections needs to be aggressive to achieve control of infection and also associated ocular inflammation.
It requires

• Objective identification of the microorganism responsible for the infection
• Use of appropriate anti-microbial in adequate dose and frequency

Red eye is a common presenting complaint in ambulatory practice. A small percentage of these patients need ophthalmological referral and treatment, although the vast majority can be treated by the primary care clinician.

Red eye is a common presenting complaint in primary care practice. Often it may happen that a red eye would be a presenting sign of a hidden systemic disease.

Raised intraocular pressure (IOP) causes or can progress to glaucoma which is a silent thief of sight, being leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. It can remain asymptomatic until a relatively late stage.¹ Most of the cases are detected on routine ophthalmological examination. As late detection of the disease is considered as one of the most significant poor prognostic factors in the course of the disease,² early detection and prompt management becomes an important step to fight with this potentially blinding disorder. Intraocular pressure is a key modifiable factor in the treatment of glaucoma. This review describes the significance of treating increased intraocular pressure as early as possible after its detection and a clinical approach towards its proper management.

Age-related macular A degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the world with people over 50 years. The prevalence of AMD in Asian population is estimated to be 4.6%. Among the North Americans, 11 million (85%- 90% of all AMD patients) currently have ""dry"" (non neovascular, or non-exudative type) AMD and 1.5 million people (10%- 15% of all AMD patients) have ""wet"" (neovascular type) AMD. AMD results in a central scotoma or a central defect in the visual field.

Blepharoptosis, more commonly referred to as ptosis, is defined as an abnormally low position of the upper lid.1 As a fairly common entity encountered in clinical practice, a detailed and comprehensive evaluation assumes vital importance for effective surgical correction. An equal, if not additional, significance may be attached to distinguishing it from conditions masquerading as ptosis, to circumvent needless refer rals and surgical intervention. The following abstract aims at providing one with a general overview of the condition, along with some approaches that may be followed during evaluation of a case.
