The effects of ab-interno XEN gel implantation on postural IOP elevations

4 August 2021 | | Glaucoma | Xen gel implant, glaucoma, intraocular pressure, posture, rebound tonometry
The study involved 18 patients with XEN gel implants, 30 patients who had trabeculectomy, and 30 medically managed glaucoma patients. All patients in XEN gel implant and trabeculectomy groups had at least 11 months of follow-up following successful surgery resulting...

Trabeculectomy with MMC in post-traumatic angle recession glaucoma

1 June 2022 | | Glaucoma | angle recession, blunt injury, fellow eye, mitomycin-c, trabeculectomy
This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C (trab MMC) in phakic eyes with post-traumatic angle recession glaucoma with no prior intraocular surgery. Thirty-two phakic eyes of 32 patients who underwent trab MMC between January-2002 and...

Wrong intraocular lens events – what lessons have we learned?

1 January 2017 | | Cataract and Refractive
Data from wrong IOL patient safety incidents (PSIs) submitted to the National Reporting and Learning System (2010–2014) were reviewed and scrutinised by thematic analysis and compared with the historical data collected for groups in 2003-2010, prior to the mandatory checklist...

Penetrating keratoplasties in infants

1 August 2016 | | Cornea / External Eye Disease
This retrospective review looked at endothelial cell counts (ECC) following penetrating keratoplasties (PKP) performed in infants within the first year of their life. One hundred eyes of 71 patients had their first PKP during the study period (1998-2013). In 30%...

Incidence and risk factors of late in the bag intraocular lens dislocation

1 February 2016 | | Cataract and Refractive
The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for late in the bag dislocation over a 21 year period. Worldwide the incidence varies from 0.05% to 3.0%. In this Swedish study they report an increase in incidence in...

Analysis of risk factors for intraocular pressure rise following insertion of fluocinolone acetonide injection in uveitic patients

1 October 2015 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous
For this study, the authors analysed the pooled data from three phase2b / 3 multi-centre randomised controlled trials carried out over three years. Included patients had undergone at least one of the following treatments: 1) systemic therapy (corticosteroid / immunosuppressant...

Intravitreal dexamethasone implant for diabetic macular oedema

1 February 2015 | | Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
The authors report on the three-year outcomes of the Ozurdex Dexamethasone (DEX) intravitreal implant multi-centre trial for the treatment of diabetic macular oedema (DME). Patients with DME (best-corrected vision of 20/50 to 20/200 and central retinal thickness of ≥300µm) were...

Retinal blood flow changes in glaucoma

1 December 2014 | | Glaucoma | Heidelberg Retina Flowmeter, retinal blood flow, retinal vessel analyser, retinal vessel diameter
This study examined the changes in retinal blood flow and vessel diameter after IOP reduction in high- and low-pressure glaucoma; exfoliation glaucoma (ExG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). Glaucoma progression is seen at times in eyes despite IOP reduction and changes...

Intraocular lens technology to deliver enhanced optical performance after cataract refractive surgery

1 February 2017 | | Cataract and Refractive
Modern cataract surgery aims to provide patients with the best possible visual outcome with the least dependence on spectacles and minimal or no complications and to treat both cataract and refractive errors with a single procedure. Phacoemulsification is the standard...

Rb-NET: a network to save life and preserve vision in children in Africa

1 April 2018 | | Ocular Pathology and Oncology
Responding to need is a key element underpinning the VISION 2020 LINKS Programme [1]. It is embedded in the process through which LINKS are established, with institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) first defining their priority areas of training...

Globes in space: What would happen to our globes on the globe of Mars?

1 April 2018 | | AMD, Cataract and Refractive, Cornea / External Eye Disease, Emergency Ophthalmology, Genetics, Glaucoma, Imaging, Neuro-Ophthalmology, Ocular Pathology and Oncology, Oculoplastics, Ophthalmology, Orbit, Optometry, Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus, Retina / Uvea / Vitreous
Many films have been made regarding life on alternative planets. With the Mars One mission approaching in 2023, there are high expectations regarding future interplanetary travel. The authors provide an ophthalmology perspective on what could happen to our eyes if...

The challenge of chorioretinal folds in virtual eye clinics

3 June 2024 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous, Orbit
Chorioretinal or choroidal folds are parallel striations involving the retina, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), Bruch’s membrane, and inner choroid [1]. They can arise from compressive stress on these layers, and their presence often serves as a diagnostic marker for underlying...
