In conversation with Andy Pyott
Discussing a detour into ophthalmology from zoology in 1988, experiences in Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Europe and the National Treatment Centre – Highland, Baljean Dhillon interviews his newest guest on the Eye Views podcast, Andy Pyott. Take us back to...Advances and developments in medical retina
The author provides an update on late breaking clinical trial results in neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and presentations on diabetes management from the American Academy of Ophthalmology Retina Subspecialty Day, held during the Academy’s annual meeting in Chicago, October...Surgical treatment of high myopia
Although several excellent modalities are available for correcting high myopia, the surgical treatment of this condition remains one of the biggest challenges for refractive surgeons; this group of patients is often very dependent on contact lenses. If these patients become...
Biopsy of nasolacrimal duct using sheath guided dacryoendoscopy
In this study the author’s biopsied six eyes of five individuals with recurrent nasolacrimal duct obstruction following a prior dacryoendoscopic probing. All procedures were performed under local anaesthetic, the obstruction or lesion was directly visualised with dacryoendoscope and biopsy was...
Laser pointer maculopathy
The objective of this study was to describe the potential clinical presentations of retinal pathology resulting from exposure to laser pointers. The study included eight eyes of seven patients. Mean age was 18.7 years (12-36). Most were accidental self-inflicted while...
Microbiology, risk factors and outcomes of microbial keratitis in Sydney, Australia
The authors present a retrospective case series including all patients with microbial keratitis and ocular surface diseases (OSD), including dry eye, blepharitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and / or ocular cicatricial pemphigoid, over a five-year period between 2012 and 2016. A total...
Customised corneal crosslinking with supplemental oxygen
In this prospective interventional case series, the authors investigate using supplemental oxygen delivery during epithelium-on corneal crosslinking (CXL) with specially designed oxygen delivery goggles. Twenty-seven eyes of 24 patients underwent epi-on CXL with Riboflavin and Ultraviolet-A irradiation. At six months...
A paradigm shift: re-defining success in retinal detachment repair
The authors describe in this review article that functional outcomes vary with surgical technique for retinal detachment repair. Traditional definitions of surgical success have been shifted due to advances in imaging techniques. Assessment of the integrity of retinal reattachment including...Traumatic ‘toy’ gun injury leading to permanent vision loss
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a progressive, inherited disorder of connective tissue that affects the skin, cardiovascular system and retina. Ocular manifestations of the disease are related to Bruch’s membrane, a thin elastic tissue layer located between the retinal pigment epithelium...
Macular pigment and dark adaptation in older population with normal maculas
Macular pigment (MP) such as lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin are highly concentrated in the fovea. They protect the retina from damage of ambient blue light via antioxidant properties. In older eyes with normal healthy retina, macular pigment optical density (MPOD)...
Two-year results of a T&E aflibercept regime in caucasian PNV
This a retrospective study examining two-year outcomes of patients with pachychoroid neovasculopathy (PNV) treated with a treat and extend (T&E) regimen of intravitreal aflibercept. The mean age was 63.84 ± 7.92 years with nine males (35%) and 17 females (65%)....
