Re-evaluation of virtual reality visual field testing
This study evaluated an updated testing algorithm to determine its dynamic range, and to assess if this produced a suitable central hill of vision, and to evaluate test-retest reproducibility in healthy children. This was a prospective study of children with...
Vigabatrin-induced retinal toxicity detected by 30Hz ERG
The purpose of this study was to assess the role of 30Hz flicker electroretinogram (ERG) as a marker for measuring changes in visual function over time in children receiving vigabatrin. This was an observational study of 11 children with mean...
Description of surgical modification for heavy eye syndrome
For heavy eye syndrome, these authors report a modification to facilitate approximation of the widely separated muscles using a combination of zip-up and hand-over-hand manoeuvres. Ten patients underwent this surgery with unification of the superior rectus and lateral rectus muscles....
A novel parameter for angle closure
This is a population cross-sectional study of 464 eyes that underwent swept-source optical coherence tomography (SSOCT) imaging in the dark. Eight out of 128 cross-sectional images were selected for analysis. Matlab was used to measure the iridolenticular contact area (ILCA),...
Differences in strabismus surgery outcomes in preterm vs full-time birth infants
This study aimed to analyse motor and sensory outcomes of strabismus surgery in 70 preterm (group 1) and 242 full-term (group 2) infants. Group 1 mean gestational age and birth weight were 31.25 ±2.51 weeks and 1562.70 ±412.82g. Pre and...
Barriers to diagnosis and management of VKC
The authors investigate the lived experience of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) diagnosis and treatment in US patients, reported by their carers and eyecare clinicians, and to identify barriers to the timely diagnosis and management of this condition. The study included seven...
Long-term treatment for diabetic macular oedema
The authors set out to characterise anti-VEGF treatment patterns and long-term outcomes in patients with diabetic macular oedema. A retrospective analysis of over 190 thousand patients on the Intelligent Research in Sight registry was performed. Of these, 1236 eyes have...
Congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction in patients with craniofacial abnormalities
This is a retrospective study including 1998 patients over a period of 10 years. Of this number, 41 patients were identified as having a craniofacial abnormality and congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) (23.1 per 10,000 live births). Interestingly the most...
Treatment for chronic severe bilateral blepharokeratoconjunctivitis
This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of oral azithromycin treatment combined with topical antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents in paediatric patients with chronic severe bilateral blepharokeratoconjunctivitis (BKC). The authors recruited 29 consecutive patients (58 eyes) with mean age at diagnosis...
How the thinking machine is transforming the retinal landscape
Regulatory approval of the first two therapeutic substances for the management of geographic atrophy (GA) secondary to age-related macular degeneration has been a major breakthrough. The authors explored the issue surrounding the lack of agreed therapeutic standards and diagnostic tools...
Bardet Biedl refractive error
This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of 45 patients with genetically diagnosed Bardet Biedl syndrome. Patients with biallelic defects in any gene known to cause Bardet Biedl syndrome were eligible for inclusion. Patients underwent cycloplegic refraction and keratometry. The mean...
