Restoration of colour perception in patients with retinitis pigmentosa
This is a case series testing the feasibility of using bioelectronic retinal prostheses to partially restore colour perception in seven patients with advanced retinitis pigmentosa. Bioelectronic retinal prostheses are able to bypass degenerated photoreceptors to directly stimulate the inner retinal...
Can the angle of origin of the ophthalmic artery predict embolic trajectory?
A retrospective, comparative case-control study was used to test the hypothesis that a risk factor for retinal versus cerebral infarct is the angular origin of the ophthalmic artery from the internal carotid artery. The study compared one group (n=28) who...

Amblyopia risk factors detected at screening
The aim of this study was to assess amblyopia prevalence in a population of 299 adolescents aged 10-14 years who were screened for risk factors at pre-school age using photoscreening. Eighty-three had screening at one-year-old, 94 at preschool age and...
LACTOSE control score for exotropia
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of change in control over multiple measurements in a single clinic visit using the Look and Cover, then Ten seconds of Observation Scale for Exotropia (LACTOSE) scoring system in patients...
