Paralytic strabismus in Parry-Romberg syndrome
Parry-Romberg syndrome is a progressive hemifacial atrophy with idiopathic craniofacial disorder characterised by slowly progressive atrophy of soft tissues on one side of the face. A case is presented of acquired monocular elevation deficit in a child without restrictive component....
Perceptual learning treatment for amblyopia
The authors previously conducted a feasibility study examining the potential benefit of a self-administered at-home use of a tablet-based perceptual learning (PL) game. Visual stimuli were presented in various orientations and spatial frequency in a game-play format. This study evaluates...
Augmented surgery for monocular elevation deficiency
The outcomes are described for augmented lateral rectus superior transposition in cases of acquired monocular elevation deficiency (MED) associated with large hypotropia in primary gaze. The lateral rectus was transposed superiorly and reinserted on sclera between the temporal margin of...Does vitrectomy increase the risk of glaucoma? A retrospective review from a UK hospital
The authors investigate what proportion of patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy subsequently developed ocular hypertension or a diagnosis of glaucoma. A systematic review carried out in 2017 including seven studies found that there is evidence that pars plana vitrectomy (PPV)...Moorfields: Cataract, medical retina and disc assessment
The Cataract/medical retina/ disc assessment short course has been designed to meet the training needs of band 6’s and 7s who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in disease recognition, management and intervention of cataract, medical retina and disc...
OCT angiography in PAMM secondary to CRVO
Paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) is a recently described manifestation presenting with hyperreflective bands within mid retina on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT). The current view is that these findings are markers of ischaemia of deep retinal circulation....
OCTA and pigment epithelium detachments
Yannuzzi et al. report on their study aiming to evaluate the ability of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) to differentiate vascularised from nonvascularised pigment epithelium detachments (PEDs) using conventional imaging techniques, including fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green (ICG),...
Management and outcomes of congenital fibrovascular pupillary membranes (CFPM)
Congenital fibrovascular pupillary membranes (CFPM) is defined as a white fibrous membrane across the pupil which may be an ectopic iris tissue arising from the aberrant migration of neural crest cells or a variant of persistent fetal vasculature. The authors...
Blood pressure association with primary open angle glaucoma severity
This prospective observational study involved 47 patients diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) examined to investigate their postural blood pressure response and its potential correlation with the severity of glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON). Participants underwent intraocular pressure and systemic...
Efficacy of BT as a treatment for cranial nerve palsy in acute and chronic cases
The authors performed a meta-analysis of all patients’ treatment with botulinum toxin (BT) for cranial nerve palsy (CNP) to determine the efficacy of BT in the treatment of CNP due to a variety of causes. The search identified 1129 articles...TowardPi Brings Next-Generation OCT/A to the UK
TowardPi, a fast-growing leader in ophthalmic imaging, has entered the UK market with its advanced swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) systems. Distributed exclusively by Mainline Instruments, TowardPi is already well-established in Asia and is recognised for pioneering the...
