Iranian values for childhood convergence
The authors aimed to determine near point of convergence (NPC) values in a population-based study in Iranian schoolchildren with a large sample size. They explored its relation to factors such as age, gender, refractive error and near point of accommodation....
Measurement considerations in OCT results with suspected glaucoma
The purpose of this study was to determine retinal nerve fibre (RNFL) thickness parameters and assess the relationship between the cup-to-disc (CD) ratio and RNFL measurements of paediatric patients who had optic nerve appearance suspicious for glaucoma based on enlarged...
Surgery technique for subluxation in Marfan syndrome
The authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of bimanual capsulorrhexis combined with sutureless scleral-fixated IOL implant in children with Marfan syndrome. Seven children (14 eyes) with subluxated lenses underwent bilateral surgery; four female, three male with mean age of 7.1...
Myopia-protective against diabetic retinopathy
This meta-analysis evaluates the current evidence of the relationship between myopia and diabetic retinopathy (DR) risk. A systematic search was performed up to April 2015. Three models were used to assess the association between myopia and risk of DR: axial...
Piggyback toric IOLs in complex cases
This study evaluates the outcome of toric sulcus fixated lenses (MS 614/714 TPB (Human Optics, Germany) in 21 eyes with high astigmatism. The cases included previous penetrating keratoplasty (n=15), post cataract surgery astigmatism (n=3), rotation of in-the-bag toric IOL (n=1),...Corneal dystrophies simplified
Based on biomicroscopic and histopathologic features, corneal dystrophies can be broadly classified into epithelial, Bowman’s layer / anterior stromal, stromal, and endothelial dystrophies. Corneal dystrophies are a group of inherited, bilateral, gradually progressing, non- inflammatory conditions caused by accumulation of...‘At risk’ corneas are more easily identified with SCORE
Risk assessment of post-LASIK corneal ectasia in refractive surgery patients is now a more exact, objective, evaluation thanks to the work of Heidelberg Engineering and a leading research partner in Paris.
Prediction errors of formulas in optical biometers
This study was conducted retrospectively in a private practice setting. Nine formulas were compared for prediction error (postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) minus, predicted SE calculated by each formula), using two optical biometers (Lenstar – optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) and...UKISCRS donates £5,000 to support ophthalmology in Ukraine
UKISCRS Council unanimously decides on donation, supporting ophthalmic aid in Ukraine.
LASIK for myopia progression
The authors hypothesise that corneal reshaping with refractive surgery could have an effect on myopic progression similar to that of orthokeratology because it results in changes to the central cornea and not to the peripheral cornea. This was a retrospective...
Visual performance of new multifocal IOL
Multifocal IOLs (MIOLs) keep evolving to try and get the best outcome in terms of vision and reduction of side-effects. This prospective interventional study was carried out on 34 eyes of 17 patients (11 women (65%) and six men (35%))...
