Association between neuro-ophthalmology signs and chronic ataxia in children
Neuro-ophthalmological signs (N-OS) occur commonly in children with chronic ataxia. This study describes the N-OS and their frequencies, in general and by specific disease aetiology in paediatric patients with chronic ataxia. In total, 184 patients under the age of 17...
Visual outcomes, visual fields and optical coherence tomography in paediatric craniopharyngioma
This study reviews the visual outcomes of ten patients under the age of 18 years with craniopharyngioma. The paper also reviews the correlation between visual field (VF) testing and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination and evaluates the role of OCT...
Silicone rod for ptosis surgery
The authors report their results and complications associated with the use of silicone rod for frontalis suspension lid surgery. This was a retrospective study of 38 eyes (25 patients) with six months follow-up. The group included 19 males and six...
Glasses or not?
In this excellent review article, the authors discuss how some hyperopes avoid strabismus but also ask why the youngest infants escape strabismus and older patients go on to decompensate. The review considers a number of related aspects and their inter-relations...
Walking with prisms
This study was undertaken to assess which tempero-spatial properties of gait are influenced by vertical yoked prism (VYP) wear and consider any adjustments to gait made to maintain stability both during and following VYP wear. Thirty-one healthy adults were recruited....
Differential diagnosis of inflammatory optic neuritis
The authors present the differential diagnosis of inflammatory optic neuritis (ON) to include multiple sclerosis, infectious optic neuritis, systemic disease and neuromyelitis optica (NMO). The features of ON for the varying aetiologies are detailed including incidence and overlap. In acute...
Scheimpflug vs. OCT in measuring corneal thickness
The authors report on the reproducibility and repeatability of corneal thickness measurements using three different Scheimpflug imaging cameras (Pentacam, Sirius and Galilei) and one Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) system (RTvue-100). The rationale for this study is that corneal thickness...
Modern trabeculectomy outcomes
This audit was conducted by the Trabeculectomy Outcomes Group Audit Study Group to report on the efficacy and safety of current trabeculectomy surgery in the UK. This is relevant in light of the fact that the trabeculectomy outcomes presented by...
Short-term outcome after intravitreal ranibizumab injections for ROP
This is an interventional case series study of three premature babies (six eyes) with high risk prethreshold or threshold retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with plus disease that received intravitreal ranibizumab injections for ROP. All infants received intravitreal ranibizumab injections of...
Oral proton pump inhibitors in macular degeneration patients
The authors report five patients with advanced wet macular degeneration and poor vision with onset or enhancement of visual hallucinations with the use of proton pump inhibitors for heartburn management. The hallucinations were reversible with discontinuation of medication. The authors...
The decline in attentional visual fields in the Salisbury Eye Evaluation Driving Study
The purpose was to document changes in attentional visual field (AVF) over time and analyse the possible baseline characteristics predicting a decline in AVF size over time. Data was taken from a sample of 968 individuals. The authors found a...
