Descemetorhexis without endothelial keratoplasty
This retrospective study examined outcomes of the largest reported series of eyes, which underwent Descemetorhexis without endothelial keratoplasty (DWEK) for Fuch’s endothelial dystrophy with mean 10 months of follow-up. Seventeen eyes were included in analysis; with 82.4% achieving corneal clearance...
15 prism test for anisometropic amblyopia
The authors aimed to investigate the accuracy of the 15^ base in prism test (BIPT) in detecting amblyopia in anisometropic patients. This was a retrospective study in which the 15^BI was placed before the right eye followed by the left...
Early diagnosis of pituitary apoplexy using combined MRI findings
The author presents a literature review searching the terms ‘pituitary ring sign’ and ‘sphenoid sinus mucosal thickening’ in the context of pituitary apoplexy from 1990 until the present day. These two findings are both magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signs of...
Effectiveness and Safety of Dexamethasone implants for post surgical macular oedema including Irvine-gass syndrome
This is a retrospective, multicentre, uncontrolled, consecutive case series from Lyon, France between April 20111 to June 2014, with minimum of one year follow-up. The clinical features including the best corrected acuity (BCVA), central subfield macular thickness (CSMT) and intraocular...
DIY IOP – does it work?
Measuring intraocular pressure (IOP) plays a major role in glaucoma care as IOP is a parameter, along with visual field progression and optic disc cupping used to assess treatment effect. While Goldmann tonometry (GAT) is the gold standard, it only...
SD-OCT detection of minimally visible retinoblastoma
This paper reports minimally visible tumour recurrence that was detectable on spectral domain OCT (SD-OCT) in a two-month old infant who had a diagnosis of bilateral familial retinoblastoma. The infant was treated with IVC for six cycles with vincristine, etoposide...
Monofixation syndrome following cataract extraction
This study aimed to test the hypothesis that interruption of macular fusion for an extended period of time is the key event that results in the development of monofixation syndrome in children and adults. This was a retrospective review of...
OCT changes in chronic optic neuropathy
The authors evaluated optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography in 10 patients who suffered various types of chronic optic neuropathies. Glaucoma is known to cause a decrease in peripapillary perfused capillary density on OCT angiography. However, other optic neuropathies have not...
Excessive blinking
A case review is presented to understand the clinical implications for children presenting to ophthalmology with episodes of excessive blinking in the absence of any obvious ocular abnormalities. This retrospective review was conducted from 2011-2014. The authors contacted parents and...
Importing iron to the retina
In the retina, iron is particularly critical for the visual phototransduction cascade. In the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), RPE65 activity leads to 11-cis-retinaldehyde, the photosensitive component of rhodopsin production and iron containing enzymes are necessary for disc replacement in photoreceptor...
A possible biomarker for diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common form of diabetic eye disease, characterised by exudates, microaneurysms and haemorrhage. Early diagnosis is crucial for preventing visual loss. The risk of developing diabetic retinopathy is known to increase with age as well...
