RPE tears after intravitreal Lucentis
The current hypothesis regarding retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears is the contraction and fibrosis in choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) tissue after anti-VEGF therapy can induce rips in the overlying RPE. This South Korean study aimed to identify the association between RPE...
Intravitreal dexamethasone implant for recurrent CMO secondary to IGS
In this prospective study the authors present the data obtained on the efficacy and safety of the dexamethasone implant (0.7 mg) in the treatment of recurrent cystoid macular oedema (PCME) due to Irvine–Gass syndrome in patients with uncomplicated pseudophakia (off-label...
5-FU vs. Avastin as adjunct to conjunctival autograft
The authors compare the outcome of pterygium treatment using 5-fluorouracil as an adjunct to free conjunctival autograft versus bevacizumab (Avastin) as an adjunct to free conjunctival autograft, via a randomised controlled prospective study. Seventy eyes of 70 patients were included...
Long-term outcomes of intravitreal ranibizumab for neovascular AMD
This is a single centre prospective study for the long-term, whole population ‘real-world’ clinical outcomes of ranibizumab therapy in treatment-naïve patients for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This study recorded: demographics, Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study visual acuity (ETDRS VA)...
Anterior capsular tears complicating phacoemulsification surgery
This is a retrospective, interventional case series, assessing the occurrence of anterior capsular tears in phacoemulsification surgery, its effect on outcomes and further complications. Despite being a well recognised complication of phacoemulsification surgery the authors felt that there is a...
Trabeculectomy for normal tension glaucoma
This is a retrospective consecutive, non-comparative case series of 131 eyes of 98 patients undergoing trabeculectomy between 2007 and 2013 in a normal tension glaucoma (NTG) clinic. Assessment of the clinical outcomes include intraocular pressures (IOP) reduction, bleb formation, final...
Achieving post-op target range increases success of strabismus surgery in adults

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...
Retinal pigment epithelium tears
In this paper the authors review the current knowledge of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears. Although rare these can cause loss of visual acuity. They can occur spontaneously in pigment epithelial detachment (PED) due to occult choroidal neovascularisation (CNV), retinal...
Clinical evaluation of a new pupil independent diffractive MIOL lens with a ±2.75D near addition
This is a clinical outcome assessment after cataract surgery with implantation of multifocal intraocular lens implant IOL with a lower near addition (+2.75D) of 143 eyes of 85 patients aged between 40 to 83 years of age. The type of...
SS-OCT assessment of ITC after phacoemulsification
This is a multicentre randomised controlled trial of 22 patients with primary angle closure glaucoma with peripheral anterior synechia and peripheral primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) with peripheral anterior synechia (PAS) detected by indentation gonioscopy was randomised into two groups....
