Reduced blood flow and age-related macular degeneration
This was a prospective cross-sectional study assessing changes in blood flow velocity in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) using a retinal function imager. Sixty eyes with wet AMD were compared to 53 control eyes and the average blood flow...
Topical doxycycline for corneal neovascularisation
Six eyes with corneal vascularisation were treated with 1% topical doxycycline, four times a day for three weeks. The patients were reviewed at various intervals over a period of one year. The eyes selected had neovascularisation secondary to a variety...

Transsynaptic retrograde degeneration linked to homonymous visual field loss after stroke
centre, of individuals identified with homonymous visual field loss post ischaemic stroke. Exclusion criteria were bilateral ischaemia, anterior / pregeniculate visual pathway affected and other pathology with the potential to effect visual fields. The following were extracted from the medical...
Intermittent manual compression for CCF
Carotid cavernous fistulae (CCF) can be classified as high and low-flow or as having direct and indirect communication. Most commonly, management of high-flow CCF is with endovascular embolisation. The authors look at an alternative treatment for CCF in indirect low-flow...
Autophagy in lens mitochondria loss
The lens consists of a monolayer of epithelial cells that overlies fibre cells that differentiate from epithelial cells at the equator. While developing, fibre cells need mitochondria to provide energy, as they mature they lose these and other organelles to...

Chronic drop use and trabeculectomy on tear osmolarity
Ocular surface disease (OSD) is common in patients chronically treated for glaucoma. This may be related to the drug itself but often to the preservatives in the medication. Much work has been done on the most common preservative, benzalkonium chloride...
Rotational stability of angle supported phakic IOL
The authors evaluate 50 eyes of 28 patients that underwent an angle fixated phakic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation (Acrysof Cachet). All eyes had moderate to high myopia (-5.25 to-19.63 dioptres) and IOL sizing was performed as per the manufacturer’s recommendation....
