Indian Journal of Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology (IJCEO) is open access, a peer-reviewed medical journal, published quarterly, online, and in print, by the Innovative Education and Scientific Research Foundation (IESRF) since 2015. To fulfil our aim of rapid dissemination of knowledge, we publish articles ‘Ahead of Print’ on acceptance. In addition, the journal allows free access (Open Access) to its content, which is likely to attract more readers and citations of articles published in IJCEO.

Abstract
Background: Hyperlipidemia has been shown to be associated with Glaucoma as well as increased intra ocular pressure (IOP). We conducted a case control study to further study the association of Lipid profile with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) in non-obese patients.
Materials and Methods: With the approval from Institutional Ethics Committee (ICE) and written informed consent, 100 adult patients were included in the case control study. The methods applied in the study adhered to the tenets of the declaration of Helsinki. 50 non-obese POAG patients of above 40 years aged were included as cases and another 50 without Glaucoma were taken as controls. Patients were further subjected to biochemical investigation of the serum lipid profile performed by Vitros 5600.
Results: Mean total cholesterol, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels were found to be significantly higher in non-obese POAG cases as compared to that in controls (p<0>
Conclusion: The study demonstrated a relationship of serum lipid levels with risk of primary open angle glaucoma.
Keywords: Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), Hyperlipidemia, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Hgh density lipoprotein (HDL), Low density lipoprotein (LDL).
