Screening for ROP using wide-angle digital retinal photography by non-ophthalmologists
This is a systematic review article to evaluate the accuracy of digital retinal photography (DRP) performed by trained personnel (non-ophthalmologists) in diagnosing clinically significant retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The authors used search engines including Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL and Cochrane databases....
Changes in drusen and retinal layer volumes prior to CNV development
This retrospective longitudinal study looked at patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in one eye who subsequently developed wet AMD in the fellow eye. The aim was to discover whether drusen characteristics or volumes of retinal layers correlate with...
Can retinal layer thickness predict the progression of disability in MS?
This is an observational retrospective cohort study presenting the data of 188 patient diagnoses with multiple sclerosis at two specialist centres. All included patients were adults below the age of 70 years, stable on their disease modifying treatment for at...High-stakes scenarios in retinal vein occlusion: A survey of medico-legal implications
Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is the second most common retinal vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy, and its clinical complexity often intersects with medico-legal scrutiny [1]. Missteps in timely diagnosis, inadequate follow-up or poor documentation can lead to patient harm...
Investigating the effect of signal strength on mean retinal nerve fibre layer
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of signal strength on mean retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) using spectralis optical coherence tomography (S-OCT). Thirty normal subjects were imaged with S-OCT using variably dense Bangerter foils to alter...From Dye to Digital: Why OCTA is replacing invasive imaging in retinal care
For decades, retinal imaging has relied on invasive dye based techniques to visualise the eye’s vasculature. However, Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) is fast becoming the preferred modality, replacing fluorescein and ICG angiography in many clinical settings. As highlighted by...
Association between serum triglycerides and pan retinal photocoagulation in type 1 diabetes
This retrospective cohort study aimed to examine whether dyslipidaemia is a risk factor for progressing to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and consequently requiring pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) treatment in type 1 diabetics. In previous studies including the ETDRS study an...
Reproductive counselling for females with X-linked inherited retinal diseases
The authors report a survey-based study of 118 female patients who were genetically confirmed carriers or obligate carriers of an X-linked inherited retinal disease. The majority (66.9%) of these patients were carriers of choroideremia; other diagnoses included retinitis pigmentosa, X-linked...Acute retinal necrosis presumably caused by Epstein-Barr virus infection
Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is an uncommon, but serious and potentially blinding condition. ARN is characterised by panuveitis, occlusive vasculopathy and progressive peripheral necrotising retinitis. The diagnosis is clinical but confirmation is sought via aqueous and vitreous sampling. Varicella zoster...Joe Scott joins Mainline Instruments as Retinal Product Specialist

Retinal thickness and visual acuity change correlations after amblyopia occlusion therapy
This prospective study aimed to assess change in retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and macular thickness, and clinical correlations with visual outcomes, after amblyopia treatment in 30 children with moderate to severe amblyopia. Mean age of children was 5.26 ±1.65...
