Measuring cyclotorsion
The aim of this study was to investigate if different methods of measuring cyclotorsion (synoptophore, KM screen test and single Maddox rod test) produce the same results and if these values are repeatable in adult patients. For the synoptophore, the...
A novel test for unilateral functional visual loss
The authors report results of three cases of functional visual loss, where regular ophthalmic testing was not sufficient to confirm the diagnosis. In these cases, bilateral concurrent eye examination was performed using a head-mounted perimeter (imo), to facilitate the diagnosis....
Using bupivacaine to the medical rectus in addition to lateral rectus recession for convergence insufficiency type intermittent exotropia
This is a retrospective study of 60 paediatric optic pathway glioma (OPG) patients (NF1 or sporadic) presenting to Great Ormond Street between 2003-2017. Median follow-up was 82 months. Analysis was divided into best and worst eye vision representing level quality...
Testing of binocular contrast sensitivity as an objective measure of severity in intermittent exotropia
The purpose of this study was to compare the binocular contrast sensitivity ratio (measured with the Vision CSV-100 vector chart) between 40 intermittent exotropia patients and 40 normal controls. The authors also evaluated the effect of intermittent exotropia compensation status...
Online tool for converting finger counting acuity into Snellen equivalent
The authors describe an online tool which has the purpose of converting count finger measurements of visual acuity into Snellen equivalents. The purpose of this is to allow the re-interpretation of retrospectively collected data that provide visual acuity in this...
Visual outcomes and predictors in optic pathway glioma
This is a retrospective study of 60 paediatric optic pathway glioma (OPG) patients (NF1 or sporadic) presenting to Great Ormond Street between 2003-2017. Median follow-up was 82 months. Analysis was divided into best and worst eye vision representing level quality...
Screening for hydroxychloroquine retinopathy
The American Academy of Ophthalmology has updated the recommendations for screening for hydroxychloroquine retinopathy based on new scientific evidence that toxicity is not rare when hydroxychloroquine is used long-term, and that risk is dependent on the daily dose by weight....
Selection of visual field test for detection of pituitary disease
This prospective cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy study compared Octopus semi-automated kinetic perimetry (SKP) and Humphrey static automated central perimetry for detection of neurological visual field loss in patients with pituitary disease. Humphrey central 30-2 SITA threshold programme results were compared with...
Visual outcomes, visual fields and optical coherence tomography in paediatric craniopharyngioma
This study reviews the visual outcomes of ten patients under the age of 18 years with craniopharyngioma. The paper also reviews the correlation between visual field (VF) testing and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination and evaluates the role of OCT...
Topical atorvastatin for dry eye and blepharitis
Dry eye is a very common problem with 20% of the population affected and is frequently associated with blepharitis (DEB), which has an over prevalence of about 40%. The aim of this study was to evaluate a topical atorvastatin formulation...
Brn3b neuroprotective effect in rat glaucoma model
An adeno-associated virus-directed overexpression of the Brn3b protein in hypothesised to confer neuroprotective effects in this paper. This is ultimately tested in a well-accepted rat glaucoma model (Morrison’s model: saline injection into episcleral veins of rat eyes with a force...
