Scheimpflug images and graft rejection
This study aimed to assess corneal changes using 360-degree Scheimpflug images and pachymetry readings to outline screening parameters, which define graft rejection. Seventeen eyes of 16 patients developed clinically manifest allograft rejection two to 42 months after surgery – those...
Boston type I keratoprosthesis for limbal stem cell deficiency
Boston type I keratoprosthesis (KPro) long-term outcomes were compared in patients with and without limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) in this retrospective study. In the 11 year period 68 procedures were performed in individuals with LSCD, and 105 procedures in...
Comparison of SS-OCT and SD-OCT in polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy
Swept source OCT (SS-OCT) is known to have a longer wavelength than spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT), allowing deeper penetration into retinal and choroidal layers. The aim of this study was to investigate whether SS-OCT is superior to SD-OCT in imaging...
Comparison of ketorolac 0.4% and nepafenac 0.1% for the prevention of CMO after phacoemulsification
This is a prospective randomised clinical trial study including patients older than 40 years with age related cataract and normal ophthalmic examination. The patients are randomised into three different groups and the objective of the study is to compare the...
Aqueous humour cytokine levels in PCV and nAMD
This study looks into the possible roles of various cytokines or growth factors in the pathogenesis of exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by comparing aqueous levels of 14 cytokines between eyes with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and those with neovascular...
Intravitreal dexamethasone implant for diabetic macular oedema
The authors report on the three-year outcomes of the Ozurdex Dexamethasone (DEX) intravitreal implant multi-centre trial for the treatment of diabetic macular oedema (DME). Patients with DME (best-corrected vision of 20/50 to 20/200 and central retinal thickness of ≥300µm) were...
Macular thickness and visual fields
The authors describe a comparison of spectral domain OCT with Humphrey visual fields (HVF) mean deviation (MD) and pattern standard deviation (PSD), examining the retinal thickness of the macula and circumpapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) defects. Seventy-three subjects who...
Moxifloxacin 0.5% for bacterial keratitis
The authors report on the results of a randomised controlled trial comparing commercially available non-preserved moxifloxacin 0.5% vs. a combination of fortified cefazolin 5% and tobramycin 1.3% in the treatment of moderate bacterial keratitis without perforation. Corneal scrapings were collected...
