Clinical course of vitreomacular adhesion managed by initial observation
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical course of patients with idiopathic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) with a noncomparative case series of patients who had clinical symptoms and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography findings consistent with VMA. The VMA...
Is laser refractive surgery safe for patients taking isotretinoin?
This multicentre, retrospective, interventional case series assesses the outcomes of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in 113 patients taking isotretinoin between January 2003 and September 2017. Isotretinoin is contraindicated for LASIK and PRK and patients are...
Systemic rituximab immunotherapy in the management of primary ocular adnexal lymphoma single institutional experience
Ocular adnexal lymphomas constitute 2% of all non-Hodgkin’s disease and 5-15% of all extranodal lymphomas and are usually localised, low-grade and of B-cell origin. This opens them up to potential treatment with a systemic monoclonal antibody-based drug (rituximab) directed at...
Computerised tomography in ocular trauma patients
Ocular trauma can be common in military settings. This retrospective study looked into the relationship between the clinical effects of acute ocular and orbital blast trauma with the findings on computerised tomography (CT). This was a consecutive case series of...

Chronic drop use and trabeculectomy on tear osmolarity
Ocular surface disease (OSD) is common in patients chronically treated for glaucoma. This may be related to the drug itself but often to the preservatives in the medication. Much work has been done on the most common preservative, benzalkonium chloride...
Short-term outcome after intravitreal ranibizumab injections for ROP
This is an interventional case series study of three premature babies (six eyes) with high risk prethreshold or threshold retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with plus disease that received intravitreal ranibizumab injections for ROP. All infants received intravitreal ranibizumab injections of...
Piggyback toric IOLs in complex cases
This study evaluates the outcome of toric sulcus fixated lenses (MS 614/714 TPB (Human Optics, Germany) in 21 eyes with high astigmatism. The cases included previous penetrating keratoplasty (n=15), post cataract surgery astigmatism (n=3), rotation of in-the-bag toric IOL (n=1),...
Errors in refractive surgery
A retrospective case series looking at sources of errors in patients undergoing laser refractive surgery. Twenty-two cases of error were identified in 18 patients; 15 were unilateral, three bilateral and two errors occurred in the same eye (on attempting correction...
Orbital filler for enophthalmos in Parry-Romberg syndrome
This is a retrospective review of three patients with enophthalmos in sighted eyes secondary to Parry-Romberg syndrome. The patients were all female, aged between 24 and 54. All three patients had 4mm of relative enophthalmos prior to treatment. They each...
Is exenteration helpful in invasive fungal sinusitis?
Invasive fungal sinusitis is a potentially lethal disease that causes painful orbital apex syndrome with ophthalmoplegia and visual loss. The mechanism of ophthalmoplegia and visual loss is not clear, and neither is the role of radical surgery-orbital exenteration. The authors...
