Risks factors for graft preparation failure in DMEK
Diabetes mellitus (DM) makes it more difficult to prepare descemet membrane epithelial keratoplasty (DMEK) grafts due to the ‘stickiness’ of Descemet’s membrane. This retrospective study examined a classification system, where donors were scored points according to their DM related risk...A step-by-step approach to the diagnosis and management of Sands of Sahara Syndrome
Sands of Sahara syndrome (diffuse lamellar keratitis) is a rare postoperative complication of Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Its estimated prevalence is reported to be 2-4% among LASIK cases [1], despite that, it is more likely to be encountered by...Community Eyecare Services in Northern Ireland: putting the patient at the centre, improving outcomes and maximising system resource
The UK has four healthcare systems; Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales each has autonomous legislature that develops health policy, while the UK government directly runs England’s NHS. Like the other nations, Northern Ireland is continually challenged to meet the needs...Moorfields corneal suturing and penetrating keratoplasty wet lab
Corneal suturing is an essential skill for all ophthalmologists, but with reduced training opportunities is becoming increasingly difficult to master.The Moorfield’s corneal suturing and penetrating keratoplasty course, delivered by corneal surgeons at Moorfields, will provide hands on experience in corneal...
Using graphical illustration to predict giant cell arteritis
A nomogram is a chart or graph of scaled variables that facilitates the approximate computation of a mathematical function via intersecting lines. The objective of this study was to illustrate the use of a nomogram for the prediction of giant...
Practical application of cataract risk stratification
This study assessed the practicability of a risk stratification system, the New Zealand Cataract Risk Stratification (NZCRS) in a major teaching hospital. The scoring system was as follows: three points for Dense cataract, pseudoexfoliation (PXF), phacodonesis, previous vitrectomy and only...Part 2: the Arclight Device: frugal imaging for eyecare
In this three-part series (Click here for Part 1 and here for Part 3) Andrew Blaikie and his team explore the role and application of the Arclight Device in Imaging of the Eye. There are many different types of ophthalmic...Moorfields Education: Fundoscopy training programme
