Our schedules are seriously crowded these days, whether it be running from clinic to clinic, squeezing in lunch meetings, or trying to run errands after work, by the time we arrive at home we are too mentally exhausted to do...From Moorfields to Mombasa: The tale of two ophthalmology electives
Ophthalmology fascinates me because the field uniquely combines microsurgical precision with immediate, life-changing outcomes, spanning nine distinct subspecialties that seamlessly integrate medicine, surgery and cutting-edge technology. Put simply, few single organs can match the breadth and depth of pathology the...The results of the last survey Jun23

Canadian centre experience with ocular cystinosis cases
Ocular cystinosis (OC) is an uncommon recessive genetic disease occurring in about one case per 100–200,000 live births. Patients have accumulation of cystine crystals within tissues. Ocular symptoms include photophobia, blepharospasm, foreign body sensation, retinopathy and visual impairment. Crystals have...
Genetic analysis of choroideremia families
Choroideremia (CHM) is a rare X linked recessive chorioretinal dystrophy. Symptoms include nyctalopia and progressive peripheral field loss. Female carriers may have mild symptoms. Choroideremia is known to be caused by a mutation in the CHM gene. A multicentre human...
Understanding the pachychoroid disease spectrum
This article provides a comprehensive review of the pachychoroid disease spectrum, a group of chorioretinal disorders characterised by abnormal choroidal thickening and various pathological changes in the choroid, retinal pigment epithelium, and retina. It also highlights the controversies and knowledge...
Anatomical and functional outcomes following switching from aflibercept to ranibizumab in NARMD
This is a six-month, prospective, single-arm study in the UK and Germany. A total of 100 patients were enrolled (one in the primary failure group, 99 in the suboptimal treatment response group), treated three-monthly intravitreal ranibizumab injections (0.5mg), and then...
The effect of everolimus on retinal pigment epithelium and proliferative vitreo-retinopathy
The principal cells involved in proliferative vitreo-retinopathy (PVR) are retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE). Everolimus is a drug used in renal cell carcinoma which targets and inhibits a key regulatory protein in cancer (mTOR). In this study, the authors investigated...
Correlation between anti-retinal antibodies and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)
The pathological basis of PVR is not clearly understood and there are no effective medications targeting this condition. This cross-sectional study looked at the possible association of anti-retinal antibodies with patients with PVR and retinal detachment (RD). Aqueous and vitreous...
