Does Duane syndrome have an effect on refractive error?

The authors present a retrospective case review from a database created from a 43-year period of patients with strabismus seen by a single ophthalmologist. Cases were reviewed by either an orthoptist or ophthalmologist for entry into the database. Details relating...

Characteristics of bilateral retinal detachment

This was a retrospective study based at a tertiary centre which analysed the specific characteristics of bilateral Rhegmatogeous detachment, taken from the review notes of 300 patients (600 eyes) who had bilateral retinal detachment (RD) surgery between January 2005 and...

A scoping review of artificial intelligence tools for diabetic retinopathy in low- and middle-income countries

The authors conducted a scoping review to summarise the literature relating to artificial intelligence (AI) tools for diabetic retinopathy (DR) in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Eighty-one studies were included, following a comprehensive literature search. The majority of studies were...

A review of the risk of nonarteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy post-cataract surgery

A systematic review and meta-analysis are presented with the aim of assessing whether cataract surgery increases the risk of non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and identify potential predictors of risk. The search strategy components are outlined in detail. A...

Complications of orbital cavernous venous malformation excision

This is a review of 290 patients who underwent excision of orbital cavernous venous malformations (OCVM) between 1970 and 2021, looking to identify the risk factors for a poor visual outcome following surgery. Intraconal lesions were classified as Group I,...

Blood pressure association with primary open angle glaucoma severity

This prospective observational study involved 47 patients diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) examined to investigate their postural blood pressure response and its potential correlation with the severity of glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON). Participants underwent intraocular pressure and systemic...

Is virtual reality perimetry as reliable as static perimetry in detecting neurological visual field loss?

This study compares agreement between virtual reality perimetry (VRP) and static automated perimetry (SAP) in a variety of neuro-ophthalmological conditions. For this work the Order of Magnitude (OM) VR-based visual field assessment system was used which has been developed by...

Proptosis reduction with teprotumumab versus surgical decompression

This study aims to explore whether fat-to-muscle ratio (FMR) can be used to determine the efficacy of teprotumumab when compared to surgical decompression. Simply put, a high FMR equates to more fat expansion and low FMR equates to more muscle...

Comparison of motor and sensory outcomes for nonaccommodative esotropia and partial accommodative esotropia

Motor and sensory outcomes of surgery are compared for partial accommodative refractive esotropia (pARET) and acute nonaccommodative comitant esotropia (ANAET) to evaluate factors affecting their surgical success. This was a retrospective study of 38 ANAET (26 males, 12 females) and...

Acromegaly associated with enlargement of extraocular recti muscles

This retrospective case review aimed to evaluate the frequency and extent of extraocular muscle enlargement in cases of acromegaly at presentation. All new presentations of acromegaly diagnosis at a single tertiary centre over a five-year period were screened for inclusion....
