Mapping areas to target location of vision screening services
In this study, the authors analysed data from a community vision screening program to determine the efficiency of vision screening in reaching lower income populations. The study used ArcGIS (Esri) mapping software to develop a visual representation of areas needing...
Outcomes from evisceration with primary implant in 1800 patients
This is a retrospective analysis of 1800 patients who had evisceration with orbital implant between 2013-2019. As the largest published series on this topic, the authors are able to give relatable real-world data on complications following surgery. They use a...
Long-standing flattening effects on the globe following spaceflight
Posterior globe flattening has been well-documented in astronauts both during and after long-duration spaceflight (LDSF). This globe flattening is thought to be due to the disc centred anterior forces created by elevated volume and / or pressure within the optic...Refined glaucoma referral practice offers prospect of improved capacity and expanded role for primary eye care professionals
Glaucoma is the most frequent cause of irreversible blindness worldwide and the second leading cause of blindness in the UK [1,2]. The global prevalence of glaucoma in 2010 was approximately 3.5% for people aged 40-80 years, according to Jonas et...The role of inflammation in the pathophysiology of DMO
Diabetic macular oedema (DMO) is a major cause of visual loss in diabetes, with a complex multifactorial pathogenesis. In the UK alone it is estimated that there are nearly 2.5 million diabetic patients aged over 12 years. Approximately 65,000 of...A look into the IOL space
Advances in the design and performance of intraocular lenses (IOLs) continue to be driven by demand for better outcomes, presbyopia correction and spectacle independence, alongside a better understanding of the dynamics of the crystalline lens, newer theories of accommodation and...Refractive surprise after cataract surgery caused by posterior capsular striae
Cataract removal with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in current clinical practice [1,2]. New microsurgical techniques and refined IOL power calculations allow excellent refractive outcomes. Refractive surprise following cataract surgery is uncommon [1-3]...
Silicone oil (SOT) versus gas (GT) tamponade for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment treated successfully with a propensity score analysis
This is a retrospective, nationwide, multicentre study with retinal detachment (RD) in the Japan-RD Registry between 2016 to 2017. The primary outcome was the estimated mean difference of postoperative cerebral vascular accident (CVA) in six months and a propensity score...
Control of bleeding with diabetic vitrectomy under air
The authors describe a modified diabetic vitrectomy using continuous air infusion in diabetic eyes with severe fibrovascular proliferation. In their case series of 25 eyes (20 patients), intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25mg) was used one week prior to surgery. Fifteen eyes had...
IOP in children with uveitis
This is a retrospective study of paediatric uveitis (<16-years-old) between July 2002 to June 2016 of a total of 320 children from a single centre: 17.2 % (55/320 patients) developed raised IOP requiring therapy; 11.5% of eyes required glaucoma surgery...
CMV assessment
This is a retrospective, cross-sectional review of medical records from a consecutive series of patients with AIDS-related cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis who were examined at five HIV disease clinics in Yangon, Myanmar, in November 2006. All patients with CD4+ T lymphocytes...
