A missed intraocular telescope – an opportunity to re-focus the evidence

Intraocular telescopes allow magnification of the image so that it would be projected into a larger area of the macula, this makes the central defect caused by dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) smaller. The most common approach is a Galilean...

Refractionist’s shoulder?

After hearing the letter-box, I walked to the front door and stooped down to collect my latest edition of Eye News. I winced. Still, at least it would give me something to pass the time on this, my first day...

Measuring patient-reported outcomes after refractive surgery to assess patient satisfaction

Patient-reported outcomes enable surgeons to evaluate patients’ symptoms and satisfaction after laser vision correction. The great majority of patients are pleased with their outcomes from laser vision correction, whether it is with photorefractive keratectomy, laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK), or small...

A pattern surgery

The authors describe the efficacy and safety of superior oblique (SO) hang-back recession with A pattern strabismus and SO overaction. A pattern was defined as a difference of >10PD from elevation to depression. SO overaction was graded as +1 to...

IO belly transposition surgery

The authors evaluated inferior oblique (IO) muscle belly transposition to correct mild to moderate IO overaction with small primary position hypertropia. They reviewed 10 patients aged 6-35 years (mean 18.6 years). Aetiologies were mild unilateral superior oblique (SO) palsy for...

RCT of IOL type

The optical performance of pseudophakic eyes were compared after implantation of spherical and aspheric IOLs in paediatric patients after cataract surgery. This randomised controlled trial included 40 eyes of 23 patients: 20 eyes in each group. Follow-up was over three...

Myectomy with or without proximal end tucking for inferior oblique overaction

This study aimed to compare the outcomes and impact of inferior oblique muscle myectomy with and without tucking the proximal end of the muscle into Tenons capsule in two surgical groups as a treatment for inferior oblique overaction. Tucking the...

Normative database of OCT measurements in children

This study aimed to establish a normative database of optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Cirrus SD-OCT) parameters and to investigate if gender, ethnicity and axial length affect these measures by evaluating the effects of age and spherical equivalent refraction (SER) in...

Combined DIMS and low dose atropine for preclinical/early-stage myopia treatment in children

This retrospective study evaluated efficacy of multi zone positive optical defocus lenses (DIMS) and fog vision and 0.01% atropine for the treatment of children with preclinical and early stages of myopia. Children were included if aged 6–14 years, with spherical...

Tacrolimus for endothelial rejection

This double-blinded randomised controlled trial tested the use of adjuvant topical Tacrolimus drops in cases of acute endothelial rejection in penetrating keratoplasty (PK). Patients with typical signs of endothelial rejection were randomised to receive either steroid therapy with topical Tacrolimus...

Comparison of surgical procedures for third cranial nerve palsy with large-angled exotropia

The authors present a retrospective case review with the aim to compare two surgical procedures. Cases were operated on at a single centre, by a single surgeon, over a 14-year period. The inclusion criteria were cases with congenital or acquired...
