Choice and definitions of surgical outcomes for intermittent exotropia
This review was conducted to address a number of questions: (1) define successful surgical outcome; (2) criteria for successful alignment, (3) consideration of aetiology when deciding surgery, and (4) are visual acuity, fusion and stereoacuity routinely investigated as surgical outcomes?...Choroidal folds

Management of traumatic corneal perforations with anterior lamellar techniques: The mini-DSAEK
The authors present the first case report in which a mini (reduced diameter) Descemet’s stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (mini-DSAEK) has been used to manage a traumatic corneal perforation. A 69-year-old male presented with 6/36 best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) and...Volunteer abroad: the Khmer Sight Foundation
A team of volunteers describe their experiences of working with the Khmer Sight Foundation in Cambodia. Cambodia has a population of 15 million people, of whom an estimated 300,000 are blind. This figure is increasing by 10,000 each year. Three-quarters...
Smartphone based visual acuity
Smartphone technology is becoming widely available to all age groups and settings. Apps using Snellen acuity charts are widely available and this study evaluated the equivalence of a smartphone-based visual acuity chart with a standard 6m Snellen visual acuity (6SVA)...
Saccadic eye movements in young-onset Parkinson’s disease
The objective of this study was to understand control of saccadic eye movements in patients with young onset Parkinson’s disease (YOPD) where onset of disease symptoms appears early in life (<40 years of age). Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was...
Manometric tear duct irrigation system against the conventional lacrimal syringing
The authors assessed the lacrimal outflow resistance with a modified irrigation system. The manometric tear duct test (mTDT) comprised of a 6mm thin wall 25 gauge lacrimal cannula which was attached to a bag of normal saline by standard fluid...
