Pathological myopia: a trainer’s perceptive
High myopia is defined as myopic refraction of greater than -6 dioptres with an axial length greater than 26.5mm, while pathological myopia is myopic refraction with posterior pole degeneration [1]. These degenerative changes can affect a young population and in...
RPE tears after intravitreal Lucentis
The current hypothesis regarding retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears is the contraction and fibrosis in choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) tissue after anti-VEGF therapy can induce rips in the overlying RPE. This South Korean study aimed to identify the association between RPE...Ophthalmology history and examination – a guide for medical students
*First author Students have very little exposure to ophthalmology during their years at medical school. Teaching consists of a handful of lectures followed by a short placement in which students are expected to practise histories and examinations on patients with...Intracameral antibiotics in cataract surgery: current evidence base
Following on from our recent online survey*, the authors examine the use of intracameral cefuroxime as the standard of care in cataract surgery. Cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures in the...A unique case of macular burn from ‘toy’ laser
The first laser was created in 1960 and its name is an acronym for ‘light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation’. Laser technology has been used for medical, industrial, research and entertainment purposes in a variety of fields following extensive...XXI SARCS (State of the Art Refractive Cataract Surgery) Symposium 2023

Long-term outcomes of intravitreal ranibizumab for neovascular AMD
This is a single centre prospective study for the long-term, whole population ‘real-world’ clinical outcomes of ranibizumab therapy in treatment-naïve patients for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This study recorded: demographics, Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study visual acuity (ETDRS VA)...
Intravitreal ranibizumab for the treatment of myopic CNV
The authors conducted a prospective study. Sixty-four patients (65 eyes) attended the 12-month follow-up examination. The mean patient age was 47.8 years. Fifty-five patients (86.0%) were females. All patients had pathologic myopia (a spherical equivalent of more than − 6.0...
2018 update on intravitreal injections
In this review article the authors have highlighted the standardised and structured approach to intravitreal injections (IVI) by examining the recent evidence-based literature. IVI is the most commonly performed procedure worldwide with low potential risk of endophthalmitis. IOP spikes are...
DRIL after macular oedema treatment in BRVO
The authors report the analysis of a single-site, retrospective, cross-sectional study to evaluate the association between disorganisation of the retinal inner layers (DRIL) and visual acuity (VA) after anti-VEGF treatment for macular oedema (MO) due to branch retinal vein occlusion...
RPE atrophy onset in treated nAMD
In this study the authors aim to evaluate the role of various factors for the development of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy over a period of five years in patients with nAMD. Fifty-two newly diagnosed nAMD patients with complete absence...
