Avoiding investigations through history taking and examinations to differentiate serious from comparably benign aetiology
*Joint first authors. Introduction Anisocoria can be a sign of neurological deficit, necessitating numerous investigations [1]. This case report explores how expensive and time-consuming investigations can be avoided by thorough history taking and examination to differentiate serious from comparably benign...
Characteristics of bilateral retinal detachment

Comparison of structural and functional features in primary angle closure and open-angle glaucoma
In this large cross-sectional study, differences in structural and functional damage were assessed among patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) with optical coherence tomography and reliable visual field testing. Two-hundred and eighty-three patients with...
DRIL after macular oedema treatment in BRVO
The authors report the analysis of a single-site, retrospective, cross-sectional study to evaluate the association between disorganisation of the retinal inner layers (DRIL) and visual acuity (VA) after anti-VEGF treatment for macular oedema (MO) due to branch retinal vein occlusion...
Improvement of visual acuity with dichoptic training for amblyopia
This study evaluated the effectiveness of dichoptic amblyopia treatment using the Bynocs AmblyGo programme in reversing various types of amblyopia in a retrospective cohort. At recruitment, all patients had demonstration of the treatment. Patients continued treatment at home via internet-connected...

Correlation between structural and functional status of optic nerve and retina in multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) involves autoimmune inflammatory demyelination and axonal degeneration in the central nervous system. Investigation of the retina and optic nerve head (ONH) is an ideal way to visualise this demyelination. This study investigates the functional and structural properties...Transferring imaging from primary to secondary care (part 1)
Transferring clinical imaging from high street optometrists to secondary care is an increasingly requested option, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. A wide variety of solutions exist to allow this, each with their own merits and shortcomings. For...
