Risk of CNV related to angioid streaks in PXE
This retrospective cross-sectional study investigated 301 patients with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) for prevalence of choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) and macular atrophy. Some patients were excluded due to missing or poor-quality imaging or the fact that they didn’t have angioid streaks, leaving...
Changes in drusen and retinal layer volumes prior to CNV development
This retrospective longitudinal study looked at patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in one eye who subsequently developed wet AMD in the fellow eye. The aim was to discover whether drusen characteristics or volumes of retinal layers correlate with...
Variability and reliability of Lea grating paddles
The authors aimed to determine interobserver variability and reliability of Lea grating paddles when assessing grating acuity in pre and non-verbal children. This was a prospective study of 31 consecutive patients; 29 pre-verbal <36 months and two with delayed speech...
Migraine and risk of retinal artery occlusion
This retrospective cohort study assessed whether migraine was associated with an increased risk of retinal artery occlusion. They reviewed a large insurance database of 418,965 patients who suffered with migraines between 2007 and 2016. These were then matched with an...
Ocular toxoplasmosis
This is a retrospective study of 106 patients between March 2011 and June 2018, of 37 IgM + group and 69 IgM - group of patients. The clinical features, demographics of patients with ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) were studied according to...
Using MRI to assess normal variation in optic chiasm anatomy
The authors present an MRI study including 61 MRI scans using a 1.5 T with slice thickness of 1 or 5mm and the sequence showing the highest resolution of the chiasm. A predetermined set of measurements were taken in a...
Carcinoid tumours
This is a retrospective review of 28 patients with carcinoid tumours affecting the orbit. The mean age at presentation of the orbital involvement was 62 years, with a slight female preponderance, and 21% had carcinoid syndrome. Proptosis and diplopia were...
Association of pendular waveform and retinal disorders
The authors aimed to evaluate the relationship between retinal disorders and pendular low amplitude high frequency components (PLAHF) waveform by collecting nystagmus eye movement recordings, electroretinography (ERG) and gene tests. Retinal disorders were diagnosed by clinical phenotype and genotype characteristics....
Prisms to treat AACE
Of 128 patients reviewed with binocular dysfunction, 30 (23.4%) had acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE). These patients complained of sudden onset diplopia at distance with no or moderate problems at near. There was no previous history of strabismus. Mean age...
SO tendon advancement for SO palsy
The authors report a series of 14 patients with unilateral superior oblique (SO) palsy having unilateral SO tendon advancement with or without other vertical muscle surgery. This was a retrospective study with mean age of patients of 16.7 years and...
Refraction under GA in children using cycloplegic refraction as a reference
The authors aimed to compare the measurements of cycloplegic refraction and refraction (R1-1) under general anaesthesia (GA) with automated refraction (ARF) in paediatric patients and to determine the impact of GA on accommodation. The study included 222 eyes of 222...
