Changes in corneal endothelial layer after strabismus surgery
The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in the corneal endothelial layer by specular microscopy after surgery in patients with horizontal and oblique strabismus. Eighty-three eyes of 56 patients were evaluated prospectively. There were three subgroups: one...
Visual performance of new multifocal IOL
Multifocal IOLs (MIOLs) keep evolving to try and get the best outcome in terms of vision and reduction of side-effects. This prospective interventional study was carried out on 34 eyes of 17 patients (11 women (65%) and six men (35%))...The creation of PlayDoh<sup>®</sup> models as an educational tool for teaching anatomy of the eyelid
An understanding of the anatomy of the eyelid is essential for training in oculoplastic surgery. Active learning has been shown to increase knowledge and retention and has an advantage over passive teaching methods alone [1,2]. PlayDoh® models have been used...Investigating the link between corneal clarity and statin use
Transparency is a vital attribute of the cornea, necessary in preserving healthy vision. Maintaining this requires the collective input of the various layers of the cornea. Mostly, the layers implicated in this are the corneal stroma and endothelium [1]. Our...Birmingham Refraction Certificate Course
A one-day course run by ophthalmologists for ophthalmic trainees and doctors preparing for the refraction certificate exam. Includes tips and tricks on: retinoscopy of patients and model eyes (the model eyes used will be the same Heine eyes used in...
Self refracting – child’s play?
Uncorrected refractive error was the leading cause of vision impairment in the world in 2010. Although refractive error may be safely and effectively corrected with spectacles, lack of well-trained refractionists in settings of limited resources may be a major barrier....Hot debates in medical retina and imaging: Perspectives from the Controversies in Ophthalmology 2020 virtual conference
Controversies in medical retina and imaging were debated during the Controversies in Ophthalmology 2020 virtual conference held during two mid-day scientific sessions on 27 and 28 March 2020. The author recounts key perspectives and presents viewpoint recommendations from the Vision...
PD-1 and retinal ganglion cell death
Death of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) in conditions like glaucoma leads to permanent visual loss. RGC death can be due to the initial stress such as raised intraocular pressure or secondary to mechanism such as oxidative stress. Programmed cell death-1...The influence of refraction correction in swept source AS-OCT measurement parameters
Anterior segment (AS) optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the non-invasive technique used to analyse detailed cross-sectional images of the anterior structures of the eye. Swept source (SS) OCT at 1310nm can penetrate deeply into the eye with low levels of...
Decisions on correction of low, moderate and high hypermetropic in exotropia
The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the management strategies and outcomes for hypermetropic patients with exotropia, and to determine implications of refractive correction decisions in optimising clinical outcomes. 10 studies met the inclusion criteria from 6 countries...
What are the indications and outcomes of optic nerve and optic nerve sheath biopsies?
This retrospective multicentre study reviewed 72 patients who underwent optic nerve or optic nerve sheath biopsy at 3 sites over a 24-year period. The authors aimed to evaluate the indications, diagnostic yield and complications associated with these procedures, which are...
