EYE - Glaucoma
The authors describe a comparison of spectral domain OCT with Humphrey visual fields (HVF) mean deviation (MD) and pattern standard deviation (PSD), examining the retinal thickness of the macula and circumpapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) defects. Seventy-three subjects who...
Macular atrophy with aflibercept

EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
The authors of this paper set out to investigate the prevalence of macular atrophy in treatment-naive patients with neovascular AMD undergoing aflibercept monotherapy (three monthly loading injections followed by subsequent treatment every two months). Case notes over a three year...
Biodegradable plates in lateral orbitotomy surgery
This is a description of a new method for fixating the bone flap during a lateral orbitotomy. The technique involves the use of an absorbable lactide plate. This is warmed in a water bath to allow trimming and moulding to...Can closing the eyelid during riboflavin induction phase of crosslinking increase corneal thickness?
Corneal crosslinking (CXL) with riboflavin and UVA irradiation is the standard treatment for preventing progression of keratoconus. Thinning of the cornea during the riboflavin loading phase was reported in previous studies which used riboflavin with dextran. A minimum stromal thickness...Atrophy and anti-VEGF

EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
The aim of this study was to investigate treatment factors, along with ocular and systemic factors for their association with macular atrophy (MA) incidence in eyes with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) treated with anti-VEGF aflibercept or ranibizumab according to...

EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
Silicone oil (SO), used in complicated retinal detachments, is associated with complications such as cataract, increased intraocular pressure (IOP), keratopathy, cystoid macular oedema (CMO), epiretinal membrane (ERM) and loss of vision. Emulsification of oil can also lead to migration of...

Aqueous flare, diabetes mellitus, diabetic retinal neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, intraocular inflammation, neuroinflammation
Studies have shown that neurodegeneration and inflammation in the retina start early in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and can be present before the latter is clinically evident. The aim of this retrospective review of 99 diabetic patients was to evaluate retinal...

EYE - Neuro-ophthalmology
This study aimed to compare retinal findings in chronic essential tremor (ET), early Parkinson’s disease (PD) and healthy controls. Those recruited with ET had to have received a diagnosis a minimum of three years previous and those with PD had...
Early structural and functional retinal changes in intermittent exotropia

EYE - Paediatrics
This study aimed to evaluate and compare spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) and electrophysiological measures in patients with intermittent exotropia and healthy controls, to outline changes in retinal and optic nerve structure and function. This was a cross-sectional...
