Nerve head in healthy humans using OCT-angiography

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) is a recent, dyeless, and noninvasive imaging technique for evaluating depth-resolved vascular status by capturing the dynamic motion of the erythrocytes. It provides the flow map of major vessels and capillary plexuses separately in different...

Retreatment of myopic LASIK with femtosecond and custom ablation

The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors for retreatment post laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). A retrospective chart review was carried out for a four-year period and all patients who had undergone LASIK at the Boston...

Finasteride and central serous chorioretinopathy

The pathophysiology of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is complex and has not been fully elucidated. Suggested theories include hyperpermeability and increased hydrostatic pressure in the choroidal vasculature, which creates RPE detachments overwhelming the RPE barrier function, leading to accumulation of...

Relationship between diabetic retinopathy and cerebrovascular reactivity changes

Cerebral micro-angiopathy caused by diabetes can manifest itself as an impairment in cerebrovascular reactivity. Transcranial doppler ultrasound (TCD) is a cost-effective and non-invasive way to measure the cerebrovascular reactivity. This study aimed to assess the relationship between the grade of...

Use of Strabocheck to measure angle of deviation

Strabocheck (SK) is a free to access software and is a measurement of deviation angle based on the corneal light reflex in monocular and binocular photographs uploaded to the website. The purpose of this study was to evaluate SK in...

Aflibercept, bevacizumab or ranibizumab for diabetic macular oedema

Macular oedema (MO) is a leading cause of visual impairment in patients with diabetic retinopathy. Whilst laser photocoagulation therapy has been the proven treatment for decades, studies over the last five years have also established a role for anti-VEGF agents...

Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy in the Asian population

This article provides an evaluation of changes in visual function associated with non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) among Korean patients. Visual changes were identified as a reduction in visual acuity by three Snellen lines or a deterioration of visual...

Progression of myopic maculopathy after treatment

The authors report on a retrospective study carried out to evaluate long-term progression of myopic maculopathy and functional outcome in eyes treated for myopic choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) and in eyes without CNV. Fifty-four myopic eyes of 30 patients were included...

Cataract surgery in patients with retinitis pigmentosa

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the commonest inherited cause of retinal degeneration. Posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC) develops in 41% to 90% of these patients by age 40 years. In this retrospective study, the authors have evaluated surgical outcomes in patients with...

Use of telemedicine within adult strabismus management

The aim of this survey was to assess the practice preferences in the management of adult strabismus among the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) committee members. A 27-question multiple-choice questionnaire was sent to 19 ophthalmologists on AAPOS...

Cost-effectiveness framework discussion for vision screening

The authors present a discussion paper on hypothetical, but representative, examples of post-referral costs that may result from different screening options up to the point of discharge from specific services. Data was taken from a recent (2019) systematic review (with...
