OCTA FAZ measurements in vein occlusion

Previous studies have confirmed that foveal avascular zone (FAZ) enlargement is correlated with visual acuity impairment in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO). This current study aimed to evaluate the OCT angiography parameters: the area of FAZ, foveal and parafoveal...

Normal reference values for the RETeval device

The purpose of this study was to provide normative data of full-field electroretinography (ERG) responses in the paediatric population using the RETeval device in healthy children with normal retinas. This was a prospective study of 38 eyes of 20 patients...

Exotropia control score versus angle

The authors aimed to evaluate the relationship between family history and deviation control in intermittent exotropia, and the effects of age, sex, angle and refractive status on deviation control. This was retrospective review of 54 patients aged 7.7 ±4 years...

Does Duane syndrome have an effect on refractive error?

The authors present a retrospective case review from a database created from a 43-year period of patients with strabismus seen by a single ophthalmologist. Cases were reviewed by either an orthoptist or ophthalmologist for entry into the database. Details relating...

The writer: publishing my first book as a trainee

Medicine is very hierarchical. Indeed, Hippocrates himself laid the foundation of the apprenticeship that is medical training and while it is the noble duty of the boss to pass on information and ask for tasks to be undertaken as a...

Shedding light on Wolfram syndrome: The unveiling of a delayed diagnosis

Wolfram syndrome 1 (WS1) was first described by Wolfram and Wagener in 1938 and it’s a rare neurodegenerative, progressive disorder, also known as DIDMOAD (diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, optic atrophy, and deafness) [1]. We present an atypical case of WS...

Optometrist Mike Harris was installed this week as Master of The Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers, a fitting culmination to his career supporting better vision for all. Mike qualified with The Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers in the late 1970s,...

Relating metamorphopsia severity and OCT findings in advanced epiretinal membranes

The authors present the findings of a retrospective study to correlate metamorphopsia and ectopic inner foveal layers (EIFL) or ‘central bouquet’ abnormality (CBA) in patients with advanced stages of epiretinal membrane (ERM) following the new OCT‐based grading scheme as described...

Joint statement on improving driver vision standards across the UK

UK road safety is under renewed scrutiny. As the Government prepares its new road safety strategy, we believe now is the time to modernise the UK’s approach to driving vision and make our roads safer for everyone. We welcome and...

Early structural and functional retinal changes in intermittent exotropia

This study aimed to evaluate and compare spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) and electrophysiological measures in patients with intermittent exotropia and healthy controls, to outline changes in retinal and optic nerve structure and function. This was a cross-sectional...

QuickSee Free autorefractor results in outreach settings

The Gambia screening project was launched in 2022 to provide vision screening for school-aged children. Within this screening programme, the refractive error measurements of the QuickSee Free autorefractor were compared to cycloplegic refraction in this outreach setting. Six rural schools...

Quality of life measurement in amblyopia

This study aimed to explore the psychometric properties of the CATQoL instrument and to determine the ability of it to measure the impact of amblyopia treatment from a child’s perspective. A total of 342 children were recruited with analysis presented...
