Could the sclera be key to glaucoma?
The glaucomas are a group of conditions characterised by optic neuropathy and associated visual field defects. Of these, chronic open-angle glaucoma (COAG) – diagnosed on the basis of progressive structural changes to the optic nerve head (ONH) and nerve fibre...The influence of refraction correction in swept source AS-OCT measurement parameters
Anterior segment (AS) optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the non-invasive technique used to analyse detailed cross-sectional images of the anterior structures of the eye. Swept source (SS) OCT at 1310nm can penetrate deeply into the eye with low levels of...
Orbital Schwannomas
This is a large case series of orbital Schwannomas managed at a single centre over a 26-year period. Twenty Schwannomas are reported, all but one of which was managed surgically. The tumours were all benign, had an insidious onset and...
Impact of COVID-19 on primary retinal detachments
This study aimed to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the presentation characteristics, timings, and surgical decisions for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). The cohort included all patients who presented to a Portuguese centre over a two-year period,...AI breakthrough brings geographic atrophy treatment a step closer
A team led by Dr Konstantinos Balaskas at Moorfields Eye Hospital Reading Centre has developed a fully automated, deep-learning model (algorithm) that can detect and quantify geographic atrophy using standard optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans.Only fools and doctors
“Alright, this is where our future lies Rodney. Second hand motors. This time next year we’ll be millionaires.” The above is the well-known quote by the happy-go-lucky Del Boy from the famous British sitcom, Only Fools and Horses, forever on...
Atropine penalisation for amblyopia in the UK
The authors aimed to determine the current clinical practice of atropine penalisation (AP) in the UK, to identify perceived barriers limiting use of AP as a first line treatment and ascertain whether any of the barriers could be resolved. An...Patient and public participation shapes biomedical research and access priorities in eye health
Patients, clinicians and clinician-scientists play a valuable role in shaping the future of vision research. Limited funding demands targeted research initiatives that ultimately will shape health policy and practice to secure progress in improving patient outcomes in eye health. This...Headset perimetry
Visual field analysers are traditionally large table mounted devices, designed specifically for field capture and analysis. Over the last year or so a number of companies have started to disrupt this space with the introduction of headset-based field analysers, mostly...
LACTOSE control score for exotropia
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of change in control over multiple measurements in a single clinic visit using the Look and Cover, then Ten seconds of Observation Scale for Exotropia (LACTOSE) scoring system in patients...
Decline in paediatric ophthalmology strabismus fellowships and posts
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the paediatric ophthalmology strabismus (POS) fellowship match rate to determine the adequacy of the replacement rate in addressing the ongoing subspeciality shortage. The authors reviewed the period of 2016 to 2024 during...
