In conversation with John Forrester
What made you choose ophthalmology as a career and how did your interest in academia develop? During Medical School at Glasgow University, I was getting progressively disillusioned with the career options while my colleagues and friends all seemed to quickly...
Dynamics of interocular suppression
The main aim of this study was to determine the development of the depth of interocular suppression in the course of occlusion treatment in amblyopia as well as its correlation with changes in visual acuity. The authors investigated whether presence...
Use of RAPDx device with optic nerve disease
The authors have previously reported on use of the RAPDx device for evaluating relative afferent pupillary defects (RAPD). RAPDx objectively determines the magnitude of RAPD by presenting light stimuli alternately to pairs of eyes with laterality. The parameters of amplitude...
Association of asthenopia and heterophoria
Heterophoria varies over time and asthenopic symptoms may be greater when the heterophoria is larger. Thus a close intra-individual correlation may exist between heterophoria and discomfort during reading. The authors investigated the variability of both parameters in 20 individuals who...
Effect of intravenous mannitol in post vitrectomised eyes
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of intravenous mannitol 20% on intraocular pressure in vitrectomised silicone-oil filled eyes. A prospective analysis of consecutive patients was undertaken with their fellow eyes taken as controls. Thirty-one patients were...
Choroidal defects in neurofibromatosis
The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of choroidal abnormalities using infrared reflectance imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT) in paediatric patients with neurofibromatosis (NF) type 1. Thirty-eight eyes of 19 patients were reviewed. NF1 was diagnosed...
Resolution of mid-peripheral schisis in x-linked retinoschisis with the use of dorzolamide
X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is an early onset hereditary retinal dystrophy. It is caused by mutations of the RS1 gene. Common manifestations of XLRS are schitic lesions at the macula, as well as infero-temporal schisis. Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors have previously been...
Testing fusional amplitude
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of varied testing distance and order of testing on fusion amplitudes in subjects with normal eye examinations, along with impact of examination encouragement and subject level of alertness. Average age...
Allergic conjunctivitis evaluation by thermography
Thermography is a non-invasive imaging technique, which uses infrared radiation reflected from an object to estimate the temperature of the object. This paper evaluates the use of thermography to assess allergic conjunctivitis objectively, by using an instrument called ocular surface...
AC/A correlates
Three groups of subjects were included in this study. Group 1 had typically developing children from five to nine years with heterophoria less than 6PD. Group 2 had 19 children aged five to nine years with intermittent distance exotropia. Group...
Spectral domain OCT vs. confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope in measuring RNFL thickness
The aim of this prospective study was to compare the retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFL) measurements obtained from the Cirrus optical coherence tomography (spectral domain OCT) with the Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph 3 (HRT3, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope). Eighty-eight normal...
