Effects of blood donation on the physiology of the eye
Hypovolaemia is a state of decreased blood volume, the reduction of which reduces tissue perfusion which may in turn lead to cellular hypoxia and end-organ damage. In blood donation, 500ml of blood is collected in ten minutes. This equates to...
A possible biomarker for diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common form of diabetic eye disease, characterised by exudates, microaneurysms and haemorrhage. Early diagnosis is crucial for preventing visual loss. The risk of developing diabetic retinopathy is known to increase with age as well...
Nicotine accelerates diabetes induced retinal changes
This study investigated the influence of nicotine in an experimentally induced diabetic rat model. They used non-invasive high-resolution spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging to provide quantitative information on the temporal alterations of retinal structures at the micrometer resolution...
A relationship between central serous retinopathy and obstructive sleep apnoea
This prospective study aimed to evaluate a relationship between central serous retinopathy (CSR) and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Twenty-three subjects (six female and 17 male) were diagnosed with CSR and overnight polysonography was performed to record desaturation and apnoeic episodes....
Surgical outcomes for intermittent exotropia of the same angle
The authors evaluated the long-term surgical outcomes and associated factors in patients with the same preoperative angle of deviation in intermittent exotropia after undergoing the same amount of bilateral rectus muscle recession. This was a retrospective review of 102 patients...
Long-term surgical success for basic exotropia
The purpose of this study was to report long-term outcomes after unilateral recess / resect surgery for basic intermittent exotropia with minimal follow-up of 10 years. This was a retrospective review of 445 patients with surgery for basic intermittent exotropia:...
Effect of observation of intermittent exotropia on health-related quality of life of children and parents
The authors present the analysis of the Intermittent Exotropia Questionnaire (IXTQ) completed by the observation arm of a previously reported randomised controlled trial comparing part-time patching to observation. Children aged >5 years completed the Child IXTQ, and all parents completed...
Effect of one versus 24 hours diagnostic occlusion
The purpose of this study was to compare measurements taken after one and 24 hours of diagnostic occlusion in cases of basic and divergence excess types of intermittent exotropia. This was a prospective study of 43 patients (34 females) with...
Saccadic measurements in intermittent exotropia vs fusional amplitude
The authors investigated the correlation between fusional convergence amplitude and saccades during the shift from exotropia to binocular fixation during the cover / uncover test. This was an observational study of 15 patients (six female, nine male) with intermittent exotropia....
Simultaneous surgery for ptosis and strabismus
The authors present the surgical management of congenital ptosis and coexistent strabismus at one centre for a follow-up period of >2 years. This was a retrospective review of 10 patients (17 eyes); nine males. Intermittent exotropia was present in three...
IXT control vs. binocular summation
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of BS scores with other current markers used for evaluating the control in preoperative intermittent exotropia (IXT) patients. Data was collected on stereoacuity, angle of deviation, Newcastle control score (NCS),...
