National sight loss charity calls for street credibility
Urgent action must be taken to improve street design and accessibility for blind and partially sighted pedestrians says the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) Scotland in their latest report, ‘Street Credibility’.You want to do paediatric ophthalmology? Seriously?
Completion of Core Training is approaching fast and you begin to wonder three things. One, where do you want to live? Two, is anyone going to be retiring there soon? Three, what subspecialty do you want to do? In an...
Fusion amplitude with Bagolini glasses
The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a difference between the horizontal prism fusion amplitude measured with and without the Bagolini striated glasses (BSG) in 52 young adults. Subjects had a mean age of 21.06 years,...A brief history of colour vision
Andrew Want takes a look at how colour vision has evolved in humans and animals and how it differs across species. Colour vision is something that we often take for granted, but it has become so intrinsic to the way...Sixth nerve palsy versus decompensating distance esophoria
Orthoptists see a wide range of conditions that can range from reduced binocular single vision (BSV) that may be solved with exercises, to more extreme neurogenic cases requiring further intervention. Because of this variety, it is important to be able...
Combined PRK and CXL in keratoconus
This study aimed to investigate the results after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) followed immediately by standard 30-minute corneal cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus. This retrospective study included 26 eyes of 16 patients with keratoconus. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual...
Patient satisfaction after refractive lens exchange with an EDOF lens
The aim of this study was to identify independent factors associated with postoperative satisfaction after refractive lens exchange with an extended depth of focus intraocular lens (EDOF IOL). Patients who underwent a refractive lens exchange with bilateral implantation of the...
AACE associated with excessive smartphone use
The purpose of this study was to describe a series of cases of acute acquired comitant strabismus (AACE) in children attending online classes on smartphones during the pandemic. Eight children were included with a mean age of 12.5 ±4.2 years....
Clinical features of basic acquired nonaccommodative esotropia requiring surgery
Basic acquired nonaccommodative esotropia (BANAET) is a concomitant esotropia occurring after the age of six months without significant refractive error or accommodative element. Esotropia is similar for both near and distance and children have prior binocular single vision. The purpose...
Clinical and anatomical differences for heavy eye syndrome, highly myopic sagging eye syndrome, and sagging eye syndrome
The authors explored the mechanisms underlying the development of heavy eye syndrome (HES), highly myopic sagging eye syndrome (SES)-like, and SES with the aim to differentiate the three conditions clinically and anatomically to aid treatment decision-making. This was a retrospective...
Use of multimodal imaging in diagnosis and treatment planning of traumatic incomplete muscle laceration
This paper discusses details of incomplete rectus muscle lacerations and the unique role of multimodal (local anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) and orbital CT/MRI) imaging techniques in the repair of such injuries. This was a retrospective analysis of traumatic...
