Childhood visual development in albinism and infantile nystagmus
The authors compare monocular and binocular development measures in 16 children with albinism, 10 with infantile nystagmus (INS) and 72 with normal vision to address interocular acuity differences, crowding ratios and binocular summation rates. The children were aged between four...
Strabismus detection by Plusoptix S08
In this study the authors evaluate the accuracy and sensitivity of the Plusoptix S08 photoscreener in detecting strabismus problems in 83 patients aged from six months to 40 years (mean 105 months). A pass was achieved for 25 patients and...
Strabismus outcomes after retinal detachment surgery
A retrospective study reviewed the motor outcomes of strabismus surgery in a cohort of 18 patients who had all previously undergone a scleral buckling procedure to treat retinal detachment. The mean age at strabismus surgery was 48 years (14-67) and...
Gender variations in retinopathy
The Tromso Eye Study is a substudy of the Tromso Study; a population based longitudinal study based in Norway. The extensive 5869 participants had no diabetes and were aged between 30-87 years. Retinal images from both eyes were taken using...
Reduced blood flow and age-related macular degeneration
This was a prospective cross-sectional study assessing changes in blood flow velocity in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using a retinal function imager. Sixty eyes with wet AMD were compared to 53 control eyes and the average blood flow...
Complement factor B polymorphism and the phenotype of early age-related macular degeneration
The relationship between complement factor H (CFH) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is very well known, but other genetic polymorphisms relating to AMD are more poorly understood. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between complement factor B (CFB)...
The prevalence of macular cysts in patients with clinical cone-rod dystrophy determined by spectral domain optical coherence tomography
Cone-rod dystrophy is a progressive photoreceptor disorder which has multiple inheritance patterns. It is rare, with a prevalence of 1 in 40,000. Macular cysts are well recognised in other photoreceptor conditions such as retinitis pigments and choroideraemia, while they are...
Pentacam vs. IOL Master keratometry measurement in IOL power calculations
The IOL Master measures only the anterior corneal curvature and estimates the total corneal power by assuming a fixed relationship between the anterior and posterior corneal surface. The Pentacam measures both the anterior and posterior corneal surface and therefore calculates...
Spectral domain OCT vs. confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope in measuring RNFL thickness
The aim of this prospective study was to compare the retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFL) measurements obtained from the Cirrus optical coherence tomography (spectral domain OCT) with the Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph 3 (HRT3, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope). Eighty-eight normal...
Topical doxycycline for corneal neovascularisation
Six eyes with corneal vascularisation were treated with 1% topical doxycycline, four times a day for three weeks. The patients were reviewed at various intervals over a period of one year. The eyes selected had neovascularisation secondary to a variety...
Avastin vs. Volon A for diabetic macular oedema
This prospective randomised interventional clinical trial compared 30 diabetic patients with macular oedema treated with either intravitreal injections of bevacizumab (Avastin) or triamcinolone (Volon A). One group initially received three injections of 2.5 mg Avastin in monthly intervals whilst the...
