I 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.
