Optic canal measurements in children
The authors aimed to determine the normal range of optic canal diameters in a Turkish pediatric population. They evaluated 200 CT examinations: 102 females, 98 males with mean age of 86.42 ±65.39 months (range 1-211). There was no significant difference...Conservative management of concomitant strabismus
The aim of management for all patients with strabismus should centre around four goals: to prevent amblyopia, to alleviate symptoms, to restore binocular single vision (BSV) and to improve ocular alignment. The conservative management options available for strabismus include observation,...Paediatric choroidal neovascular membrane secondary to optic disc drusen
Choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) is a rare cause of visual impairment in paediatric populations and predominantly affects individuals aged over 50. CNVM is defined as the pathologic growth of new abnormal blood vessels which extend from the choroid and break...
OCTA optic disc measurement differences between glaucoma and pituitary macroadenoma
This prospective case-control study aimed to assess the potential of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) in distinguishing between glaucoma and pituitary macroadenoma based on optic disc appearance. Thirty-one patients (23 with glaucoma, eight with pituitary macroadenoma) were...OSA Insights to Market win praise from members
OSA members praised the breadth of optical market insights provided by the Autumn meeting this week as a broad spectrum of suppliers gathered in London, reinforcing the strength of the trade body.Newer generation IOL platforms designed for high-quality visual performance after cataract surgery
Expanding intraocular lens (IOL) capabilities provide broadening options, ranging from next-generation monofocal IOLs for basic cataract surgery, to specialised premium IOLs for lens-based presbyopia correction and astigmatism correction at the time of cataract surgery. Rod McNeil considers several newer alternative...Obituary: a heartfelt goodbye to Roger Pope
One of the most admired of UK opticians, Roger Pope, holder of two Royal Warrants, has sadly passed away leaving a legacy as the greatest colleague and friend to the optical community.Neuro-ophthalmology: the extended role of an orthoptist
Neuro-ophthalmology has always been a speciality of interest during my studies and now in my career. In 2018, I started a Band 7 post which gave me an extended role in neuro-ophthalmology and the responsibility of developing an orthoptic led...The treachery of images – making sense of OCT imaging
In 1929 Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte produced his painting La Trahison des Images. It depicted an old fashioned pipe for smoking tobacco and underneath were the words “ceci n’est pas une pipe”, this is not a pipe. You may wonder...
Importance of visual fields for detection of progression in glaucoma
Early detection of progression of glaucoma, and escalating treatment is vital to maintain vision in patients. In this paper from the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial (EMGT) group they compared the earliest detection of progression in visual fields and monoscopic optic...
