Assessing possibility of deferring lumbar puncture in mild idiopathic intracranial hypertension

This was a retrospective review of patients consecutively presenting with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) to a tertiary neuro-ophthalmology clinic without a lumbar puncture (LP) over an eight-year period. Inclusion criteria included true optic disc oedema, retinal nerve layer thickness ≤300µm,...

OCTA optic disc measurement differences between glaucoma and pituitary macroadenoma

This prospective case-control study aimed to assess the potential of optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) in distinguishing between glaucoma and pituitary macroadenoma based on optic disc appearance. Thirty-one patients (23 with glaucoma, eight with pituitary macroadenoma) were...

Longitudinal findings in children with neurofibromatosis type 1

IOP reduction and progression of high myopic glaucoma

This retrospective study of 131 eyes with high myopia (refraction >-6.0 dioptres or axial length >26mm), best corrected vision 20/40 or better, open angle and follow-up period of more than five years, were included from Korea. Based on the intraocular...

Intravitreal dexamethasone in diabetic macular oedema (DMO) - enhancing the response to anti-VEGF in non- or poor responders

This study aimed to describe the outcomes of a switch back from DEXi (dexamethasone implant) to anti-VEGF therapy in eyes that were treated temporarily with DEXi after an initial poor response to anti VEGF. Twenty-three eyes of 17 patients were...

Ten-year experience with intracameral chemotherapy for aqueous seeding in retinoblastoma: long-term efficacy, safety and toxicity

This is a retrospective review of all consecutive patients with primary (n=4) or secondary non-iatrogenic (n=16) aqueous seeding (AS) treated by intracameral chemotherapy (ICC) in Lausanne between 2011 and 2020 with a minimum follow-up of one year. Aqueous seeding control...

Outcomes of corneal collagen crosslinking (CXL) in pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK)

This was a retrospective non-comparative, interventional case series of 50 eyes in 50 patients with symptomatic PBK who underwent CXL (epithelium-off). Central corneal thickness (CCT), pain score, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and corneal transparency were recorded at baseline; at...
