Comparison of treatment for hemianopia following stroke
The authors report the screening process and recruitment figures for a randomised controlled trial comparing interventions for post stroke homonymous hemianopia. Interventions included Fresnel prisms, visual search training and standard care (information only). Primary outcome measure was the change in...
Trabeculectomy ab interno (trabectome)
This retrospective study examines the outcome of trabectome surgery in nine phakic patients with Posner-Schlossman syndrome with uncontrolled IOP >30mmgHg. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA was verified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in aqueous humour samples. Patients were treated with oral valganciclover...
Stereopsis in late strabismus correction
This prospective study evaluated effect of successful surgical alignment on improvement of stereopsis in 34 adults (15 female, 19 male) with childhood strabismus to determine the prognostic factors for sensory outcome. Fourteen cases were esotropic and 20 exotropic with mean...
Syndromic V-pattern management
The authors document their experience in the management of four cases of Crouzon syndrome and review the anatomical extraocular muscle anomalies noted during surgery. Horizontal strabismus surgery varied in each of the four cases according to individual extraocular muscle abnormalities...
A case report of papilloedema caused by unilateral jugular vein thrombosis
In rare cases, unilateral jugular vein thrombosis can lead to increased intracranial pressure and papilloedema, resulting in headaches and visual loss. The authors describe the case of a 45-year-old patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx who developed right...
Cataract surgery and circadian photoentrainment
The study authors sought to investigate the possible effects of circadian photoentrainment following cataract. This was a randomised clinical trial, where 76 eyes of 76 patients (with bilateral cataract) were randomised to blue-blocking or neutral intraocular lenses (IOLs). Outcome measures...
Predictors for developing strabismus after paediatric cataract surgery
This study investigates the predictors for strabismus development in patients with paediatric cataract and their final visual acuity. The aim was to improve the treatment of both deprivation and strabismic amblyopia after surgery. The study included 46 children; 21 male,...
Progression of macular atrophy in Stargardt disease
The authors present a study of a cohort of patients with genetically proven ABCA4 gene mutation related Stargardt disease. They aimed to quantify the effect of lesion location and topography on disease progression using fundus autofluorescence imaging. One hundred and...
Adolescent optic disc haemorrhages
The authors conducted this study to describe the clinical characteristics of multi-layered optic disc haemorrhages in adolescents. This was a retrospective review of 16 eyes (11 right and five left) of 16 patients with a mean age of 15 ±2.6...
Review of paediatric infectious endophthalmitis
This paper presents a review on paediatric infectious endophthalmitis and considers aetiology, prognosis and management. Classification included exogenous and endogenous. Diagnosis was based on presenting history, signs and symptoms, cultures and imaging. Exogenous cases included postoperative endophthalmitis (strabismus surgery, glaucoma...
Effect of phacoemulsification on trabeculectomy function
Previous studies have reported cataract surgery post trabeculectomy to be detrimental to IOP control. Conversely, other studies have reported phacoemulsification performed before trabeculectomy as a factor for bleb failure. The objective of this retrospective case control study was to evaluate...
