With the current global pandemic of COVID-19 we have all had to redesign and reorganise our normal working practices. Non-urgent hospital work has been postponed to allow redistribution of resources, redeployment of hospital staff and to reduce the risk of...
Bandage contact lens cultures after corneal collagen cross-linking
Corneal collagen cross-linking (CCL) is a treatment modality that has been shown to stop the progression of keratoconus. There have also been reports that CCL acts as an antimicrobiologic agent in treating resistant microbial keratitis. This study aimed to investigate...
Optimizing Suboptimal Results Following Cataract Surgery: Refractive and Non-Refractive Management
This is a great book with contributions from well-known figures in the world of ophthalmology. It would be a beneficial read for any ophthalmology trainee or consultant as it covers something that is quite essential in ophthalmic surgery – giving...
Evaluation of keratometry with a novel colour LED corneal topographer
The Cassini topographer (i-Optics), which analyses corneal shape based on the reconstruction of specular reflections on 679 coloured LEDs, generates keratometry and is the new machine being compared in this study with other keratometry devices. The prospective comparative study included...
Retinal ischaemia on OCTA and diabetic retinopathy grade
The authors quite rightly point out that quantification of retinal ischaemia has the potential to serve as a biomarker for diabetic retinopathy disease progression. They set out to investigate the relationship between area of ischaemia on a swept source OCTA...
IOL power calculation formulas for myopic eyes undergoing cataract surgery after excimer laser
The authors set out to compare the accuracy of four no-history formulas: Barrett True-K, Haigis-L, Shammas-PL, and Triple-S to calculate the intraocular lens (IOL) power in eyes with previous myopic photorefractive keratectomy or laser in situ keratomileusis, according to their...
Exploring the potential of neurodegenerative disease screening within age-related eye disease research
The authors recruited healthy controls aged between 60 and 75-years-old, previously enrolled into a registry as patients following cataract surgery without age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Exclusion criteria included dense cataract, retinal disease, ocular inflammatory disease, moderate glaucoma, optic neuropathy, cancer,...
