Comparing visual acuity to visual demand levels in classrooms
This study investigated the actual logMAR and contrast sensitivity demands in a cross-sectional sample of kindergarten through grade 12 classrooms in New York city. This was done to consider the potential benefit in optimising the specificity of visual acuity-based screening...
Transconjunctival eyelid weight insertion
This is a description of a new surgical technique to insert upper lid weights via a posterior, transconjunctival route. Following local anaesthetic, the upper lid was everted over a Desmarres retractor with a silk traction suture. A 5mm high central...

Ocular adnexal mantle cell lymphoma
In this study the authors compare primary ocular adnexal (OA) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) with initially systemic MCL occurring over a 30-year period. MCL is a rare form of lymphoma accounting for 5-11% of OA lymphomas and therefore knowledge of...
Distribution, progression, and outcomes of inflammatory chorioretinal lesions
This study investigated the distribution and progression of multifocal choroiditis (MFC) inflammatory lesions in 25 eyes of 20 patients and their correlations with clinical outcomes at 24 months. The distribution of choroiditis inflammatory lesions were evaluated semi-automatically using a dedicated...
Comparison of visual acuity testing in clinic versus at home
The authors present a prospective cohort study including children aged three to 12-years-old with and without ocular pathology. Visual acuity was assessed using both an M&S Smart System in clinic, using different protocols depending on the age of the child....
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...
