Horizontal recti injection of botulinum toxin for treatment of infantile nystagmus
In this study the authors aimed to demonstrate the effect of botulinum toxin (BT) on the frequency of ocular oscillation in children with infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS). Botulinum toxin was administered with direct injection into the horizontal recti muscles using...
Piloting myopic control glasses effects on axial length under mesopic conditions
This study aimed to pilot whether axial length reduces when being treated with myopia control glasses in mesopic conditions. Participants were required to have single-vision glasses with spherical equivalent between -1.00 and -5.00 dioptres, astigmatism less than -1.00 dioptre, a...
Profile of presentation, follow-up and management of orbital myositis
This retrospective study reviewed the demographic characteristics of patients with orbital myositis, their clinical profile, management options, outcomes and predictive factors for recurrence. The study included 52 patients (55 eyes; 3% bilateral involvement), 36 females, with mean age at presentation...
Treatment of anisometropia and strabismus amblyopia with syntonic phototherapy
Syntonic phototherapy is a non-invasive light therapy treatment using specific light colours, frequency and wavelength to improve body regulatory centres in the brain. It is proposed that red light increases cell membrane capacitance buildup of electrical charge before discharge that...WATCH: Beyond 2020 with the Andean Medical Mission
This Andean Medical Mission series is called Beyond 2020, and focuses on the many aspects of creating services which will ultimately impact on eliminating avoidable blindness in countries with developing eyecare services.
Evaluation of the association between diabetes autoantibodies and development of early diabetic retinopathy in type 1 diabetes

Selective laser trabeculoplasty after medical treatment
Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is a well-established treatment for open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT). This post-hoc secondary analysis of the LiGHT trial extension examined SLT as a secondary intervention after 3 years of protocolised medical therapy in patients...
Opening the AI ‘black box’ for glaucoma
Artificial intelligence (AI) models show great promise for glaucoma detection using retinal images, but their ‘black box’ nature is a major barrier to clinical adoption. Clinicians are often hesitant to trust a diagnosis without understanding its reasoning. This paper provides...
