Retinal vessel diameter in pseudoexfoliation
Pseudoexfolation (PEX) is characterised by deposition of fibrillary extracellular material on ocular and extraocular tissue. Studies have shown that deposition in vascular structures cause hypoxia and ischaemia. In the eye, a decrease in blood supply to the optic nerve can...
Choroidal vascularity in NAION
The authors present a cross-sectional, non-interventional study of healthy volunteers and those with non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) recruited over a six-month period at a single site. NAION is the most common cause of acute optic neuropathy over the...
Surgery for superior oblique palsy with superior rectus contracture
With limited information in the literature regarding simultaneous surgery in cases with superior rectus (SR) contracture in superior oblique (SO) palsy, the authors aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combined SR/IO surgery. This was a retrospective study of 15 cases...
Outcomes of unilateral surgery for bilateral asymmetric DVD
The purpose of this study was to analyse the outcomes and complications observed in a cohort of patients with unilateral superior rectus recession in bilateral asymmetric dissociative vertical deviation (DVD) with strong preferential fixation. This was a retrospective review of...
Single case report of horizontal gaze paresis due to medial pontine haemorrhage
The authors report a single case (80-year-old female) of bilateral horizontal conjugate gaze palsy due to a dorsal median pontine haemorrhage. The patient presented with skew deviation, bilateral horizontal conjugate gaze palsy, vertical gaze palsy, ipsilateral lower motor neuron facial...
EOM enlargement in carotid cavernous fistulas
This study evaluates the radiological patterns of extraocular muscle enlargement and proptosis in carotid cavernous fistulas (CCF). At least one muscle was enlarged in 27.5% of cases. The inferior rectus was most commonly enlarged, followed by the medial rectus. Proptosis...
Oxymetazoline hydrochloride for improved symmetry in Graves’ disease
Oxymetazoline hydrochloride 0.1% ophthalmic solution has Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval for use in involution ptosis. It is an alpha 1 agonist and partial alpha 2 agonist that stimulates Muller’s muscle to lift the lid. The authors of this...
Comparison of two surgical procedure options for unilateral superior oblique palsy
This study compares two surgical options for management of unilateral superior oblique palsy with angles >20PD. Group 1 underwent one vertical muscle surgery – ipsilateral inferior oblique anterior transposition plus resection (IOATR). Group 2 underwent two vertical muscles surgery –...
Investigation of PAX7 positive satellite cells in extraocular muscle surgery
PAX7 is a transcription factor and is expressed in non-active and activated satellite cells. It is needed for muscle progenitor function, survival and expansion. This study investigates the effect of recession/resection surgery on PAX7-positive satellite cells in extraocular muscles of...Imaging papilloedema vs. pseudo-papilloedema
Quite often, in the working week as an ophthalmic photographer, you will be given that patient with ‘swollen discs’ to image. These swollen discs could be a number of things, but mainly fall into one of two categories: papilloedema or...The eye as a window to the brain: Non-invasive neuromonitoring
