Does amniotic membrane transplant improve outcomes in chemical injuries?

This single centre, randomised, parallel-controlled clinical trial compared the outcomes of patients with Roper-Hall grade IV ocular chemical injury that had conventional treatment vs. combined medical treatment and amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT). They followed up 60 patients between August 2006...

How does low-concentration atropine reduce progression of myopia?

This is a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the effects of low-concentration atropine (0.05%, 0.025%, 0.01%) on ocular biometrics of myopic children. The aim is to determine what aspect of ocular biometrics low-concentration atropine influenced in reducing the progression of...

What are the features of facial nerve palsies in children?

The aim if this study was to report ophthalmic related findings and complications in children with facial palsy. Medical records from a tertiary centre were retrospectively searched for children 16 years and under with a diagnosis of facial palsy, over...

Resveratrol protects against steroid induced intraocular pressure

Topical and systemic steroid delivery is a very effective treatment for many ocular conditions but is compromised by raised intraocular pressure which in turn leads to death of retinal ganglion cells and irreversible blindness. This is an important consideration with...

N-T asymmetry in tracking eye movements

The current study aimed to quantify and compare the visual tracking responses of two sensory induced strabismic juvenile monkeys during monocular smooth pursuit, ocular following response and optokinetic nystagmus (OKN). Monkey 1 had esotropia and monkey 2 had exotropia. Both...

Optic nerve head perfusion response to reduced blood pressure and increased intraocular pressure

The purpose of this prospective study was to test the hypothesis that blood flow autoregulation in the optic nerve head has less reserve to maintain normal blood flow where there is a blood pressure induced decrease in ocular perfusion pressure...

Brimonidine day and night time IOP

The authors describe a randomised double masked study of 29 participants with ocular hypertension (OHT) who either self-administered 0.2% brimonidine or placebo three times daily for six weeks. Patients were seen during day time and night time visits and had...

Screening for stroke-related visual problems

The aim was to report the initial development and evaluation of a suitable screening tool for detecting visual problems after stroke. The tool has four components. The first three include questions asked by examiners about patients’ ocular history and symptoms,...

Visual defects in deaf children and young adults

This literature review article serves as a great update on the current evidence relating to visual defects in the young deaf population. There is a good introduction with background information and demographic data relating to UK hearing impairment. The authors...

Risk calculation variability over time in OHT

In this study the authors aimed to assess the variability of the well documented risk model from the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS) that identified higher intraocular pressure (IOP), older age, lower central corneal thickness (CCT), greater vertical cup-to-disc ratio...

Reduction of severe visual loss and complications following IAC for RB

This was a retrospective cohort study of patients with retinoblastoma (RB) who required intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) between 2013 and 2015, who had relapsed following systemic chemotherapy. A total of nine patients were included in the study and their ocular complications...
