Amblyopia prediction using Plusoptix
The aims of this study were to evaluate Plusoptix performance in amblyopia prediction, to examine the best readings for that prediction and to determine if it is sufficient to have one measure or more. Data were collected in a two-year...
OCT angiography sign after whiplash
Berlin’s oedema is a rare condition following blunt ocular injury and a rare finding after whiplash injury. This case describes a 48-year-old male who suffered a seventh vertebrae fracture from a traffic accident. Two days later, decreased left eye visual...
Intravitreal Ziv-Aflibercept: safety analysis

This is a prospective, longitudinal, observational single centre study between May 2011 and September 2018, to determine the changes in the axial length (AL) longitudinally in patients with high myopia without other conformational abnormalities. Patients were divided into two groups:...
Diagnostic accuracy of enhanced depth imaging OCT in children
The authors present the findings of a retrospective cross-sectional case series. Cases were identified using a treatment register having been evaluated in a set one-year period. Two ophthalmologists acted as masked image examiners for enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography...
Fifteen-year results of phakic artisan IOL for hyperopia correction
This retrospective review of a cohort of 61 eyes from 32 patients offers long-term results for phakic Artisan (Ophtec BV) iris-fixated phakic IOL (IF-pIOL). The mean age at surgery was 41.6 years with a range of 25-59 years. Refractive outcomes...
Lamellar patch grafts utilising cornea remnants from DMEK/PKP

The anterior stroma of corneal endothelium peeled for descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) were used to prepare circular lamellar...
G-CSF intravitreal injections for NAION: a pilot study
In rodent models with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) confers a neuroprotective effect on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) via anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory processes. This prospective study investigated the efficacy of intravitreal injection of G-CSF for the...
