Comparison of vertical rectus muscle transpositions
The purpose of this study was to evaluate both the amount of correction obtained and the postoperative drift that occurred with two frequently used vertical rectus muscle transposition (VRT) procedures to determine the ideal immediate postoperative alignment. Twenty-seven patients underwent...
Longitudinal changes in axial length in high myopia
This is a prospective, longitudinal, observational single centre study between May 2011 and September 2018, to determine the changes in the axial length (AL) longitudinally in patients with high myopia without other conformational abnormalities. Patients were divided into two groups:...
Correlation between aqueous flare and macular microvascular status in diabetes mellitus
The authors report a cross-sectional study which was conducted to investigate the correlation between aqueous flare and macular microvascular status, assessed by optic coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in diabetes mellitus. Fifty-two diabetic patients with non-proliferative retinopathy, 44 diabetic patients without...
Effects of ‘inverted U method’ Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy on anterior segment and IOL tilt
The study aimed to investigate the effects of the ‘inverted U method’ Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy on anterior segment parameters, decentration and tilt of intraocular lens (IOLs) and visual acuity in 76 patients with posterior capsular opacification (PCO) after previous...
Transient macular thinning with Densiron 68
Densiron 68 is a heavy silicone oil (HSO) used to treat rhegmatogenous retinal detachments (RRD) with inferior retinal breaks. The authors compared changes in retinal thickness during and after the use of Densiron endotamponade, and looked at any association between...
Medial rectus anatomy in exotropia
This study investigates the differences between extraocular muscles in patients with intermittent exotropia and normal controls regarding muscle fibre arrangement and diameter, and distribution and activation of satellite cells. Fifteen patients were recruited having medial rectus resection surgery. Resection sections...
Effect of long-term scleral contact lenses on corneal topography, tear film and impression cytology in keratoconus
This study of 16 keratoconus patients aimed to investigate the impact of long-term scleral contact lens (ScCL) wear on corneal curvature, corneal thickness, tear film function and ocular surface in patients with keratoconus. Corneal topography, tear osmolarity test, Schirmer 1...
Does lower eyelid entropion repair alter corneal topography?
The authors aimed to analyse the corneal morphology before and after advancement of posterior lower eyelid retractors (LERs) alone or in combination with a lateral tarsal strip (LTS) for lower eyelid involutional entropion. Retrospective analysis of 24 consecutive elderly patients...
Evaluation of a service providing sight impairment registration for stroke survivors
This service evaluation study of a hospital single centre stroke service was undertaken to determine reasons for declining sight registration, whether patients feel supported without registration and determine changes needed to improve registration processes. A review of existent data was...
Does pregnancy cause progression of keratoconus in previously cross-linked corneas?
This is a prospective study involving 24 eyes of 19 patients with stabilised or regressed keratoconus after a successful accelerated cross linking (A-CXL) treatment. Patients were recruited at a routine follow-up visit in the first month of their pregnancy. The...
OCT findings after strabismus surgery for macular, choroidal and nerve fibre thickness
This study used OCT to investigate the changes in the central macular thickness, subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) after horizontal rectus surgery for patients with strabismus. This was a retrospective study and patients were grouped...
