Long-term corneal crosslinking results in paediatric eyes
This prospective longitudinal study examined patients 18 years of age or less with progressive keratoconus, who underwent corneal crosslinking and completed 10 years of follow-up. Crosslinking protocol involved removal of epithelium, 10 minutes of riboflavin soaking, followed by 30 minutes...
OCT choroidal signs for congenital retinal pigment epithelium hypertrophy
Congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE) on ocular coherence tomography (OCT) has the characteristic sign of RPE thickening and hyper reflectivity. However, the underlying choroid characteristics remain under researched. This retrospective study utilised data from an ophthalmic oncology...
Investigation into the anatomical differences of eyelashes between Caucasian and Indian specimens
This study investigated the anatomy of human eyelashes through analysis of root depth, angle, and spatial relationship. Four eyelids from Caucasian donors were obtained from fresh donors and four eyelids from Indian donors were obtained from eye bank calls. The...Quiz Oct/Nov 2024
History An 83-year-old female was previously treated by surgical excision and plaque brachytherapy for her left conjunctival lesion. She presented to her ophthalmologist with a recurrence some years later and underwent a lid sparing orbital exenteration, which was sent to...Surgical options for the treatment of hyperopia
The modern refractive surgeon has a variety of options available to treat patients with hyperopia who wish to be independent of spectacles and contact lenses. Unlike in low myopia where presbyopic patients may have the ability to see well for...MCLOSA: Annual Scientific Meeting 2025

Effect of rebubbling after DMEK
This study objectively evaluated the impact of rebubbling on postoperative corneal clarity and endothelial cell loss (ELD) after DMEK. This was a retrospective analysis of 132 consecutive DMEK cases performed for Fuchs endothelial dystrophy or pseudophakic bullous keratopathy. Patients were...Oct/Nov 2017 Quiz
History A 73-year-old man presented with a rapidly growing left lower eyelid lump with recent bleeding. On examination there was a raised, ulcerated, firm mass occupying two thirds of his lower eyelid. The lesion bled easily and appeared connected to...Acanthaemoeba keratitis
In the second of this series I describe a case of Acanthaemoeba keratitis (AK) that was misdiagnosed for a prolonged period which resulted in a devastating outcome. This is one of half a dozen similar medico-legal cases I have dealt...Effect of minor trauma in eyes with previously undiagnosed angioid streaks
Angioid streaks (AS) may be associated with pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), Paget’s disease, haemoglobulinopathies, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or abetalipoproteinaemia. Histopathology showed retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and choriocapillaris loss, elastic fibre degeneration, calcium deposition, active choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) and vascular endothelial growth...
Same day air bubble removal after DSEK/DSAEK
A complete air removal on same day as descemet’s stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK/DSAEK) leads to prompt restoration of the anterior chamber and thus has been hypothesised to assist with the recovery of endothelial function and promote graft adhesion. The results...
