GP contact lenses in nystagmus
The purpose of this study was to quantify and evaluate the effect of rigid gas permeable contact lenses (CLs) on visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and motor parameters of involuntary eye movements in hyperopic patients with infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS). This...
PROM rating scales
The authors evaluated three commonly used Likert-type rating scales with an aim to determine which scale performed best when administering questions to children with eye disorders, and their parents. Three scales looked at frequency, severity and difficulty. An initial questionnaire...
N-T asymmetry in tracking eye movements
The current study aimed to quantify and compare the visual tracking responses of two sensory induced strabismic juvenile monkeys during monocular smooth pursuit, ocular following response and optokinetic nystagmus (OKN). Monkey 1 had esotropia and monkey 2 had exotropia. Both...
Effectiveness and Safety of Dexamethasone implants for post surgical macular oedema including Irvine-gass syndrome
This is a retrospective, multicentre, uncontrolled, consecutive case series from Lyon, France between April 20111 to June 2014, with minimum of one year follow-up. The clinical features including the best corrected acuity (BCVA), central subfield macular thickness (CSMT) and intraocular...
Somatostatin protects retinal pericytes
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes, caused by high blood sugar levels damaging the retinal microvasculature. Mechanisms, such as oxidative stress and deposition of advanced glycation end products, leads to glial cell activation and neuronal apoptosis. Pericytes, contractile...
Conversion factors for fovea on / off detachments
This is a retrospective study of medical records in a single unit over a 14 year period from January 2001 – December 2014, of patients who converted from fovea-on to fovea-off rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Ten cases were identified while...
Is it worth performing cataract surgery in amblyopic eyes?
It was estimated that about 3% of all cataract surgeries in adults were performed in eyes that have pre-existing amblyopia, and there is a long-standing belief that eyes with amblyopia have limited benefit from cataract extraction in the adult age....
Topical insulin for neurotrophic ulcers
This retrospective case series described the use of topical insulin drops as an aid in treatment of refractory neurotrophic corneal ulceration in six patients. Insulin drops were prepared under sterile conditions from standard insulin preparations mixed with artificial tears containing...
Treatment of severe chronic ocular graft-versus-host disease
A retrospective study from Cologne, Germany, between November 2012 to March 2015, of 17 patients with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) treated with 100% single use vials autologous serum eye drops in sealed system. Visual acuity, corneal staining, frequency of artificial tears,...
DIY IOP – does it work?
Measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) plays a major role in glaucoma care as IOP is a parameter, along with visual field progression and optic disc cupping used to assess treatment effect. While Goldmann tonometry (GAT) is the gold standard, it only...
A comparison of colour vision tests in the presence of contrast sensitivity loss
This study analyses the effect of contrast sensitivity (CS) loss on colour vision (CV) testing, using a variety of colour vision tests. The authors used a computer model for CS loss to determine its effect on CV testing scores for...
