Van Herick Plus

This a consecutive cross-sectional study of 95 phakic patients over the age of 40-years-old. By applying a short, vertical slit beam, the inferior angle at the scleral-limbal junction at 6 o’clock position was evaluated, photographed and assessed by a ratio...

Comparison of changes in ECD and CCT between CPS and FLACS

This is an intraindividual randomised clinical trial of 134 eyes from 67 patients, one eye was treated with femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) (including pretreatment of main incision, side port, capsulotomy and lens fragmentation) and the fellow eye received conventional...

Fusional vergence measurement

This paper reports a systematic review to address two objectives: 1, to compare the normative values of tests measuring fusional vergence; 2, to investigate sources of heterogeneity of prism accuracy. The review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines with a...

OCT angiography metrics in children

This prospective study aimed to quantify the vessel density of both the macular and optic nerve and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) values in 92 normal eyes of 92 children (42 boys, 50 girls) aged 13.4 ±2.65 years (seven to 18)....

Effect of long-term RGP-CL wear on keratoconus progression

This is a retrospective study between April and December 2017, of 22 rigid gas-permeable contact lens (RGP-CL) patients (31 eyes) and 15 non-CL patients (20 eyes) who fulfilled the criteria of: 1) >3 years follow-up and 2) Scheimpflug-based corneal imaging...

Visual acuity conversion to digital acuity

The author proposes a basic set of evidence-based digital acuities for alpha vision to facilitate formatting of visual acuity data uniformly. This work was informed by a review of the literature. A full table provides US and international classification of...

Chorioretinal atrophy in punctate inner choroidopathy / multifocal choroiditis

This study reported the five-year outcomes of chorioretinal atrophy (CRA) progression in patients with punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) or multifocal choroiditis (MFC) in 45 eyes of 36 patients. The mean age of the cohort of patients was 37 ±13.37 years...

Cycloplegic retinoscopy refraction versus Retinomax K-Plus 5 autorefraction

In this study, the authors present their results comparing cycloplegic refraction with retinoscopy versus hand-held Retinomax K-Plus 5 autorefraction. The study included 213 children aged 0.1 to 20 years (426 eyes). Mean age was 6.2 ±4.4 years. They examined sphere,...

Diagnostic accuracy of different keratoconus detection indices of pentacam in paediatric eyes

This is a retrospective study of 432 non-keratoconic eyes compared with 48 eyes with keratoconus (KC) or forme fruste KC (FFKC) in a paediatric population in Cairo, Egypt between December 2013 and October 2018. The authors discuss the rationale of...

Macular pigment in relatives of AMD patients

Blue light causes photo-oxidative retinal injury and macular pigment (MP), with lutein, zeaxanthin and mesozeaxanthin as the main components, as a filter that protects the macula from this damage. Previous studies indicated that low levels of macular pigment optical density...

Choroidal changes in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children

This study aimed to evaluate the vascular structure of the choroid in multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). This was a prospective study of 38 eyes of 19 patients and 60 eyes of 30 healthy controls. None had ocular pathology....
