Quantum imaging research could improve retinal scans
New EU-funded feasibility project is testing a quantum approach that could reveal finer detail in the eye than ever before. A European research consortium is exploring a new quantum imaging technique that could one day help clinicians see the earliest...Broadening of treatment options for potentially blinding retinal conditions
Rod McNeil provides an update on a promising bispecific antibody recently approved for treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular oedema (DMO) and considers emerging developments in biosimilars to established anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapies, including...
Keratoconus: When, Why and Why Not. A Step by Step Systematic Approach
This is a single author publication addressing the subject of ectatic corneal disorders and keratoconus (when, why, and why not) with a step by step systematic approach to management using modern sophisticated diagnostic and screening tools. It is comprised of...Researchers pursue personalised pathways for glaucoma care
Researchers, funded by Glaucoma UK in partnership with The Royal College of Ophthalmologists, are investigating the potential for personalised glaucoma care by mapping clinical trial data and real-word outcomes to individuals.Green Charter inspires the Optical Community
Green Charter – the optical community’s clear pathway for a sustainable future – attracted great interest at 100% Optical, with businesses keen to learn more about specific guidance. Launched by Opticare Innovations, the commercial arm of the OSA, the five...
Intravitreal bevacizumab vs. ranibizumab in the treatment of macular oedema due to BRVO
This is a randomised, prospective, non-inferiority trial of 75 patients with macular oedema due to a branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) who received intravitreal injections of ranibizumab or bevacizumab after 1:1 block randomisation. This study is to measure the difference...
Injection frequency and anatomic outcomes following conversion to Aflibercept in neovascular AMD patients
This is a retrospective study of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treated with intravitreal Lucentis and / or Avastin who were switched to aflibercept (Eylea). This study was carried out by the Casey Eye Institute retinal clinics, between...
Corneal cross-linking for treatment of corneal ulcers
This was an observational cohort study looking at the usefulness of photo activated chromophore for infectious keratitis-corneal collagen cross-linking (PACK-CXL) in reducing the time to heal in suppurative corneal ulcers. This study, conducted in a tertiary care centre in South...
Adjuvant intravitreal dexamethasone implant for persistent CME
In this retrospective, cross-sectional study the authors investigate the efficiency of intravitreal dexamethasone implants (0.7mg) for cystoid macular oedema (CME) persisting, despite immunomodulatory treatment in patients with Behcets’ disease (BD). Twenty-seven eyes of 20 patients (12 males and eight females)...
Intravitreal aflibercept for retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP)
In this prospective study the authors present the visual and anatomical outcome of patients with RAP lesions who were treated with intravitreal aflibercept. The study cohort of 46 patients reached study completion at week 96. They were all Caucasians, with...
Microvasculature changes of mCNV after ranibizumab treatment using OCTA
In this study the authors aim to evaluate the vascular changes of myopic choroidal neovascularisation (mCNV) after ranibizumab treatment using optical coherence tomography-angiography (OCTA). The 3×3 OCTA en face images were analysed for the absence / presence of mCNV, CNV...
