Surgical treatment of high myopia
Although several excellent modalities are available for correcting high myopia, the surgical treatment of this condition remains one of the biggest challenges for refractive surgeons; this group of patients is often very dependent on contact lenses. If these patients become...
Confocal microscopy and corneal graft rejection
Forty-five patients following penetrating keratoplasty (PK) were examined with the HRT III Rostock Cornea Module confocal microscope at various points after their surgery for two years. Activated keratocytes (AKs) were counted manually and their mean number evaluated. A pattern was...
Cost-effectiveness framework discussion for vision screening
The authors present a discussion paper on hypothetical, but representative, examples of post-referral costs that may result from different screening options up to the point of discharge from specific services. Data was taken from a recent (2019) systematic review (with...
Topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy in the treatment of corneal scarring
This study reports the outcome of topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (TG-PRK) in the treatment of patients with corneal scarring. A retrospective case series including six eyes of six patients with corneal scarring and irregular astigmatism who underwent topography guided PRK. The...
Delayed surgical treatment of orbital trapdoor fracture in paediatric patients
This is a retrospective study of 30 patients between three and 14-years-old, recruited between January 2008 to September 2016, who underwent surgery for trapdoor fractures. Two groups were evaluated: Group A- 17 patients with muscular entrapment, Group B- 13 patients...Moorfields Education: biometry study day Jan

PlusoptiX and SPOT screening
The goal of this study was to determine whether an instrument that uses referral criteria having a high specificity (plusoptiX S08) would fail to refer children who have significant amblyopia and who would have been detected by an instrument using...
Myopia-protective against diabetic retinopathy
This meta-analysis evaluates the current evidence of the relationship between myopia and diabetic retinopathy (DR) risk. A systematic search was performed up to April 2015. Three models were used to assess the association between myopia and risk of DR: axial...
Measurement considerations in OCT results with suspected glaucoma
The purpose of this study was to determine retinal nerve fibre (RNFL) thickness parameters and assess the relationship between the cup-to-disc (CD) ratio and RNFL measurements of paediatric patients who had optic nerve appearance suspicious for glaucoma based on enlarged...
