functional visual field loss, optic nerve, perimetry, visual fields
Functional visual field loss is traditionally assessed by kinetic perimetry, typically producing spiralling isopters. This study looked at the spatial distributions of functional field deficits using automated static perimetry. A retrospective review of automated perimetry records was conducted using a...

Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
The primary purpose of this study was to calibrate the various paediatric photoscreeners over a range of contact lens induced hyperopic and astigmatic anisometropia using the American Association of Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) criteria for anisometropic or axial astigmatism....

Retina / Uvea / Vitreous
The authors present their proposal for an updated staging system for Long-Chain 3-Hydroxyacyl-CoA Dehydrogenase (LCHAD) deficiency retinopathy. This is a rare mitochondrial disease due to deficiency of the long chain fatty acid oxidation pathway. Forty patients who were part of...
Orbital cellulitis - an overview of the diagnosis and management
Periorbital (preseptal) and orbital cellulitis are infections of the subcutaneous tissues of the eye. They are differentiated by the location of the infection. Periorbital cellulitis refers to infection of the eyelid and subcutaneous tissues anterior to the orbital septum, whereas...Sexually transmitted conjunctivitis – the REALLY sticky eye
Let’s face it, patients with conjunctivitis don’t always produce the most stimulating consultations and most of the time we can manage them in auto-pilot. The prospect of delving into such a patient’s sexual history is not overly appealing, but this...One-year result of XEN45 implant for glaucoma: efficacy, safety, and postoperative management

Glaucoma
The authors report a retrospective, non-randomised interventional case series of 39 patients who underwent a standalone XEN45 implantation. All 39 patients (female: male=1.2: 1) completed 12-month follow-up. Mean age was 70.1 years (range 32–92). Primary outcome measures were the intraocular...

Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
The authors present a prospective observational study which aimed to compare visual field indices with retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in normal adults and children. Children aged 6–18 years were recruited from a single...

This study aimed to identify optical coherence tomography (OCT) biomarkers for predicting response to anti-VEGF treatment in diabetic macular oedema (DMO). Bilateral DMO patients with asymmetric response to a loading dose of anti-VEGF (ranibizumab / aflibercept) treatment were retrospectively studied....

Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
The authors present a retrospective case review to compare bimedial rectus recession and botulinum toxin injection to the medial recti. This study was possible due to the different first-line preferences of the individual surgeons within the team. Inclusion criteria were...

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, Pseudotumor cerebri, visual outcome
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a clinical syndrome characterised by headache and papilloedema that can lead to significant visual morbidity. IIH is diagnosed by the modified Dandy criteria, which include normal neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition, high CSF opening...
