Keeping mucormycosis infection in the foreground of your differential diagnosis, especially in those more vulnerable patients, will help save their lives if recognised and managed appropriately. Mucormycosis is a fulminant infection caused by the fungi of the family Mucoraceae. It...
Ultra-widefield fundus autofluorescence
The authors assessed the ease and utility of ultra-widefield fundus autofluorescence (UWF-FAF) in detecting suspected inherited retinal disease in children who were difficult to examine. They aimed to assess the sensitivity of UWF-FAF and UWF-CF (colour fundus) photography and clinical...
Can the angle of origin of the ophthalmic artery predict embolic trajectory?
A retrospective, comparative case-control study was used to test the hypothesis that a risk factor for retinal versus cerebral infarct is the angular origin of the ophthalmic artery from the internal carotid artery. The study compared one group (n=28) who...
Do patients with prolactinomas using dopamine agonist drugs have autonomic dysfunction?
This prospective study aimed to determine whether there is autonomic dysfunction in patients with prolactinomas using dopamine agonist (DA) drugs by measuring static and dynamic pupillary responses using an automatic pupillometric device.Included were 25 eyes from 25 patients who were...
High rate of conversion from ocular hypertension to glaucoma in subjects with uveitis
This is a retrospective study from Auckland over a 10-year period. A total of 188 eyes of 139 subjects with either ocular hypertension (OH) or uveitic glaucoma (UG) were included for analysis with a mean follow up of 9.9 years....

Review of extraocular muscle biopsies and utility of biopsy in extraocular muscle enlargement
This is a retrospective case series study from Melbourne, Australia, of 93 patients with extraocular muscle (EOM) enlargement who underwent an EOM biopsy between March 1992 and January 2017. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the data between patients with...
Radiation maculopathy
This is a retrospective non-randomised study of 13 consecutive eyes of 13 patients affected by radiation maculopathy secondary to eye irradiation for primary uveal melanoma (Iodine-125 brachytherapy). All patients were treated with a single intravitreal 0.7mg dexamethasone implant and full...Ciliatech presents preliminary results on treating glaucoma with CID at Ophthalmology Futures Symposium
Ciliatech presents preliminary one-year study results on treating open- and narrow-angle glaucoma with CID at Ophthalmology Futures Symposium.
CSD-OCT detection of minimally visible retinoblastoma
This paper reports minimally visible tumour recurrence that was detectable on spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) in a two-month-old infant who had a diagnosis of bilateral familial retinoblastoma. The infant was treated with IVC for six cycles with vincristine, etoposide and...
