To celebrate the 200th anniversary of braille, the UK’s top braille artist is having a summer of love for braille, blindness and coffee. Clarke Reynolds, also known as Mr Dot in recognition of his incredible career creating braille-inspired art, has...
Do occult neuroretinitis and non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy differ in presentation?
This study evaluates differences between neuroretinitis and non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAAION) in terms of patient demographics, clinical presentation, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings. Medical records of patients with a final diagnosis of occult neuroretinitis or NAAION were...
Practical Handbook of OCT (Retina, Choroid, Glaucoma)
With the rapid development and expansion in the usage of optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology there is always demand for a new OCT publication on the bookshelves. The operation and acquisition skills required are more easily acquired than for the...Dramatic myopic shift due to epithelial basement membrane dystrophy
Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD), also known as map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy, is a common anterior corneal disorder affecting approximately 2% of the population [1]. It is characterised by the abnormal maintenance of the basement membrane, resulting in protrusions into the epithelium....
Handbook of Pediatric Retinal OCT and the Eye-Brain Connection
Paediatric optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the eye remains an evolving technology to date. This handbook delves into this challenging area successfully and gives a comprehensive and detailed input into paediatric OCT pertaining to the retina and the optic...An update on idiopathic intracranial hypertension
The incidence of Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is increasing, likely in line with the worldwide epidemic of obesity. To date, there have been revisions in the terminology used and diagnostic criteria for IIH; these recognise the need to exclude secondary...University of Gloucestershire launches first of its kind ophthalmic imaging degree
Ophthalmic science is a dynamic and constantly evolving profession, with ophthalmic imagers / technicians fundamental to the smooth and efficient running of ophthalmology departments. Traditionally, as the role has developed, ophthalmic imagers have come from a variety of backgrounds, finding...Astigmatism correction in cataract surgery: Why are we still hesitating?
Toric spectacle lenses were first described in 1847 by George Biddell Airy, and their adoption was, presumably, gradual at that time. Today, correction of astigmatism with glasses is routine. In a recent survey, 87.2% of spectacle prescriptions contained at least...OCT in neuro-ophthalmology: A practical overview
From multiple sclerosis to raised intracranial pressure, optical coherence tomography is transforming how we diagnose, monitor and predict outcomes across the full spectrum of neuro-ophthalmic disease. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a rapid imaging method that utilises light waves to...
Improving reading of fundus photographs in an emergency setting
The first phases of the FOTO-ED study found that emergency providers perform significantly better with fundus photography than with direct ophthalmoscopy in the detection of fundus abnormalities. The authors hypothesised that by providing additional training to emergency providers, this would...
Retinal changes in Leber hereditary optic neuropathy
The objective of this study was to describe the changes in the retinal ganglion cell complex (GCC) relative to the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) over time, in patients with Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). For this study, 21 patients...
