Uveitis and juvenile arthritis costs
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether cost, prior insurance authorisation concerns and subspecialty practice influence therapeutic decisions in the treatment of uveitis associated with JIA. The authors developed an email questionnaire that included a brief vignette of...In conversation with Andrena McElvanney (President, MCLOSA)

Case report A 40-year-old Caucasian male presented with a four-day history of redness and progressive painless reduction of vision in the left eye. His visual acuities were 6/4 in the right and 6/36 in the left. The left eye showed...The results of the last survey Oct20
The point of this series is to find variations in practice and to raise them to you, the readership, so you can review and reflect upon them. I am aware there is not always a ‘correct’ way of doing things,...
OVD influences
This prospective case series provides data on a previously uninvestigated area. Eyes due to have routine phakoemulsification were divided into six groups according to ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) type. After cataract extraction aphasic refraction using intraoperative aberrometry with the ocular...
Iranian strabismus prevalence
This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of heterotropia and heterophoria in Iran. This was a cross-section study undertaken in 2013 with the target population of grade 1 (seven-year-old) children. Seven cities across different geographical locations were included with multistage...
Collamer lenses for accommodative ET
Posterior chamber phakic IOL implantation was used to treat patients with accommodative esotropia (ET) with the goal of eliminating hyperopia and producing orthophoria. Three patients (six eyes) aged 18-22 years had an average follow-up of 17 months ±6.24. The mean...
Choroidal thickness in strabismus and amblyopia
The authors examined the effect of exotropia, esotropia, anisometropic amblyopia and hypermetropia on choroidal thickness in a prospective cross section study. The study included 100 patients and 20 controls with a mean age of 8.5±2.9 years; 61 female and 59...
Pentacam vs. IOL Master keratometry measurement in IOL power calculations
The IOL Master measures only the anterior corneal curvature and estimates the total corneal power by assuming a fixed relationship between the anterior and posterior corneal surface. The Pentacam measures both the anterior and posterior corneal surface and therefore calculates...
Early refractive correction promotes esotropia control
This study sought to determine the incidence and characteristics of esotropia in a Northern Ireland population of children <7 years old in a one-year period. The authors report a 2013 cohort in which the area catchment had 29,365 children under...
