The global burden of age-related macular degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the third leading cause of blindness (behind cataract and refractive error). The authors present the results of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2015 study, which included 195 countries. The disability-adjusted life years (DALY) due...Simulating the visual impairment symptoms of age-related macular degeneration in virtual reality
A new virtual reality application visually simulates age-related macular degeneration and demonstrates its progression over time including some Charles Bonnet syndrome hallucinations. Introduction Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in developed countries with the prevalence of...
Brolucizumab in age-related macular degeneration, HAWK Study
The aim of the study was to collect additional data on efficacy and safety of brolucizumab 6mg intended for commercialization in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (with an increase in pH and decrease in polysorbate concentration). The HAWK Study was a...WATCH: Novel imaging technology reveals role of immune cells in early diabetic cataract development

The effects of anti-VEGF therapy for NvAMD on retinal vasculature
This retrospective consecutive case series examined 54 eyes of 54 treatment-naïve neovascular age-related macular degeneration (N-AMD) patients. Thirty-three eyes received intravitreal aflibercept injections, and 21 eyes received intravitreal ranibizumab injections with unaffected fellow eyes (54 eyes) as controls. All image...Understanding amniotic membrane grafts
Safa Elhassan gives a brief review of amniotic membrane grafts and their application in theatre and clinic-based settings. Amniotic membrane (AM) transplant has been an established adjuvant treatment for many corneal, conjunctival and scleral disorders in ophthalmic clinical practice with...
Frontalis muscle flap for congenital ptosis
This is a review of 43 patients (47 eyes) with severe congenital ptosis who underwent a suspension procedure using a frontalis flap technique. The average age of patients was 6 +/-2.5 years, and all had a severe ptosis with an...
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)...
Effects of orbital decompression
This is a retrospective review of 319 orbital decompression operations in 169 patients (73% female) with thyroid eye disease. Three wall decompressions were performed in 92 eyes, 2-wall in 206 (medial and floor), and a single wall (medial) in 18,...
