Effect of change in retinal nerve fibre layer thickness on quality of life in patients with glaucoma
The authors investigated the relationship between structural changes in glaucoma (retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness) and quality of life (as measured by the NEI VFQ-25 questionnaire) over a period of time. Two hundred and sixty eyes of 130 patients...
Twenty-four hour IOP patterns in patients with thyroid eye disease (OO/GL)
Elevated IOP in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED) can be caused by restriction and compression of the globe by enlarged extraocular muscles, elevated episcleral venous pressure and increased mucopolysaccharide deposition in the trabecular meshwork. Although previous studies have investigated...
Effect of anti-VEGF treatment on PED morphology
This retrospective study of 30 eyes assessed the effect of anti-VEGF on morphology of pigment epithelial detachments (PED) secondary to age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Thirty eyes of 28 patients with PED were compared to 30 eyes of 30 patients with...
Are retinal vein occlusions seasonal? And if so why might that be?
Some studies have reported a strong seasonal pattern to central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) occurrence with a peak in January, but other studies have failed to replicate this finding. The authors sought to determine data for Stockholm’s seasonal variation in...
The choroid in pregnancy
During pregnancy there can be different types of ocular changes including a decrease in corneal sensitivity, increase in central corneal thickness and curvature, decrease in intraocular pressure, central serous chorioretinopathy and ocular blood flow. Advances in ophthalmic imaging devices has...
New mouse model of diabetes mellitus
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a serious complication of diabetes. It is driven by the loss of pericytes, cells which control vascular function, due to excess formation of sugar alcohols by the enzyme aldose reductase (AR). AR has been shown to...
