Comparison of two visual acuity test versions for different distances in a paediatric population
The authors present the findings of a study which aimed to determine whether using 2 metre and 4 metre retro-illuminated ETDRS charts are comparable in children. Order of testing was standardised (right eye, left eye, binocular), however different charts were...
Outcomes of treat & extend ranibizumab in diabetic macular oedema
This study retrospectively evaluated 118 eyes of 87 patients who received ranibizumab in a treat and extend regimen for diabetic macular oedema (DMO). Data were collected for patients under follow-up for 24 months. After 24 months, patients gained a mean...
Aflibercept (AF) for age-related macular degeneration (ARMD): four-year outcomes of a ‘’treat-and-extend’ (T&E) regimen with exit-strategy
This is a retrospective observational study of 82 patients, between 2014 to 2016 from Switzerland of treatment-naive patients with nARMD, treated with AF, with specific T&E protocol without a loading phase and predefined exit criteria and patients were observed three...
Binocular summation responses in strabismic amblyopia
A preliminary study was conducted to determine whether binocular summation (BS) in strabismic amblyopia is more decreased than in strabismus alone and whether strabismus surgery improves BS. The study included 15 strabismic amblyopes, 30 normal controls and 30 strabismic controls....
The rarebit vision test for macular conditions
Rarebit testing is used to measure low degrees of neuro-visual damage and is available for free on the internet. It consists of a fixed bright light dot presented on a black background. During testing it is presented briefly at different...
Avastin vs. Volon A for diabetic macular oedema
This prospective randomised interventional clinical trial compared 30 diabetic patients with macular oedema treated with either intravitreal injections of bevacizumab (Avastin) or triamcinolone (Volon A). One group initially received three injections of 2.5 mg Avastin in monthly intervals whilst the...Investigating the link between corneal clarity and statin use
Transparency is a vital attribute of the cornea, necessary in preserving healthy vision. Maintaining this requires the collective input of the various layers of the cornea. Mostly, the layers implicated in this are the corneal stroma and endothelium [1]. Our...
OCT in proliferative diabetic retinopathy
This report set out to describe the anatomical relationships between retinal neovascular complexes (NVC), the posterior vitreous, and the vitreoretinal interface in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy using spectral domain OCT. The following was recorded for each NVC 1) posterior...Life in the eye department
The crowd is gathering at the watering hole in the Serengeti that is Friday teaching at the Major Teaching Hospital. Would there be enough different species of consultant present or would there be insufficient numbers? If a critical mass of...
Comparison of retinal pigment epithelium-choroid graft surgery and anti-VEGF therapy in patients with wet AMD
This was a randomised intervention study in wet AMD patients to investigate benefits of free RPE-choroid graft transplantation surgery versus (continuation of) anti-VEGF treatment. Twenty patients who met the inclusion criteria were subdivided into three subgroups, i.e. RPE tears involving...
Inner nuclear layer of the retina showing increase in thickness in diabetic macular oedema
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of blindness in the developed world. With optical coherence tomography (OCT), it has become possible to image the retina in vivo and to measure retinal oedema by measuring retinal thickness (RT) with...
