Medial rectus recession in Grave’s orbitopathy
The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyse the surgical effect / success rate of recession of the medial rectus in 90 patients with horizontal diplopia. Mean age was 52.5 ±9.4 years. Of that 24% had unilateral medial rectus...
Strabismus in high myopia
The authors report the occurrence of exotropia-hypotropia complex in 15 cases of high myopia. The mean age at presentation was 23.5 years (10-35 years). Only two patients had high bilateral myopia. The mean axial length of the deviating eye was...
Horizontal angles in Brown’s syndrome
The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of horizontal strabismus needing surgical management in Brown’s syndrome. This was a retrospective review of 19 eyes (eight right and 11 left) of 16 patients (seven male and nine female)....
BT for cyclic esotropia
This paper describes two patients with childhood cyclic esotropia treated with botulinum toxin (BT) and followed for eight and nine years. Onset was at two and four years of age. BT was injected under electromyography (EMG) guidance bilaterally to medial...
Understanding retinal ciliopathy through Bardet-Biedl syndrome
This is a review article looking at up-to-date understanding and ongoing research in retinal ciliopathies. Syndromic ciliopathies consist of a group of disorders caused by ciliary dysfunction or abnormal ciliogenesis. These disorders have multiorgan involvement in addition to retinal degeneration...
Detecting glaucoma with only OCT
In this review article, the authors describe a probability model based upon only OCT to detect glaucoma. They explain how normal anatomical variation can lead to false positives and applying a model to account for this improves specificity. The application...What you learn after performing 10,000 cataracts
What do you do when the anterior chamber shallows, or the zonules give way? How do you handle the stubborn epinuclear plate? Raymond Radford shares the benefit of his experience when dealing with tricky cataract surgery. Firstly, you realise you...Headset perimetry
Visual field analysers are traditionally large table mounted devices, designed specifically for field capture and analysis. Over the last year or so a number of companies have started to disrupt this space with the introduction of headset-based field analysers, mostly...
Using frequency doubling technology perimetry to identify Alzheimer’s disease early
Alzheimer’s disease is widely reported to be associated with deficits in visual function. Visual disturbances include impaired stereopsis, contrast sensitivity and motion detection. Deficits specific to the magnocellular pathway (MGC) have been identified in Alzheimer’s disease. This article compares the...
Macular thickness and visual fields
The authors describe a comparison of spectral domain OCT with Humphrey visual fields (HVF) mean deviation (MD) and pattern standard deviation (PSD), examining the retinal thickness of the macula and circumpapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) defects. Seventy-three subjects who...
Outcomes of early versus late surgery for infantile esotropia
The authors aimed to provide a better understanding of the clinical spectrum of infantile esotropia by comparing motor and sensory results in the long-term follow-up of patients who underwent surgery. This was a retrospective review over a 17-year period. There...
