Multimodal Retinal Imaging
Understanding of rapidly advancing retinal imaging techniques is important as they have changed the management of retinal conditions considerably. Interpretation of these tests is a vital skill in the armamentarium of every practising ophthalmologist. The book is directed at general...BT for retinal detachment strabismus

Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
The authors report the use of botulinum toxin (BT) as a treatment option in 140 patients with strabismus relating to retinal detachment surgery. The BT dose was 2.5 units of Dysport. Mean follow-up was 27 months (3-203) with a mean...

Retinal vessel diameter, optical coherence tomography, pseudoexfoliation
Pseudoexfolation (PEX) is characterised by deposition of fibrillary extracellular material on ocular and extraocular tissue. Studies have shown that deposition in vascular structures cause hypoxia and ischaemia. In the eye, a decrease in blood supply to the optic nerve can...
Non-accidental retinal haemorrhages

Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
The authors sought to determine whether the presence of retinal haemorrhages (RH) correlated positively to individuals who confessed to shaking (group a) compared to those who did not confess but were identified as the likely perpetrators (group b) and cases...

Retina / Uvea / Vitreous
Vision research presentations and publications explore practice considerations in the management of AMD and diabetic retinopathy. Over the past two decades in Europe there has been a decreasing prevalence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and an improvement in visual acuity...

Glaucoma
Glaucoma is considered to be a heterogeneous group of conditions giving retinal ganglion cells (RGC) damage. Lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) reduces the risk of progressive RGC loss in glaucoma. Regeneration of the optic nerve has been shown to restore some...

This was a retrospective study based at a tertiary centre which analysed the specific characteristics of bilateral Rhegmatogeous detachment, taken from the review notes of 300 patients (600 eyes) who had bilateral retinal detachment (RD) surgery between January 2005 and...

This review sought to clarify some of the heritable elements of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). The familial element of RRD is well established, with the sibling recurrence risk ratio being 2.1 (Mitry and colleagues), and the parent-offspring recurrence risk ratio...
Retinal microvasculature in amblyopic eyes

Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
This study evaluated and compared measurements of macular vessel density and foveal avascular zone using optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography in amblyopia eyes and age-matched controls to determine whether results are in agreement with previous studies. This was a cross...

Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane, macular edema, optical coherence tomography, silicone oil tamponade
Silicone oil (SO), used in complicated retinal detachments, is associated with complications such as cataract, increased intraocular pressure (IOP), keratopathy, cystoid macular oedema (CMO), epiretinal membrane (ERM) and loss of vision. Emulsification of oil can also lead to migration of...

This prospective study aimed to quantify the retinal thickening induced by epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling and to correlate this thickening with postoperative retinal function. Twenty-five patients who required surgery for idiopathic ERM were included in the study. The authors performed...
