Atrophy and anti-VEGF

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...

Silicone oil in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment

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...

Inflammation and microvascular changes in diabetic retinopathy

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...

Comparison of paediatric migraine and healthy controls using optical coherence tomography angiography

The authors present a cross-sectional study which recruited patients with paediatric migraine without aura along with age and sex-matched healthy controls. Both groups were recruited following attendance to an ophthalmology outpatient clinic. Children diagnosed with any of the following were...

Comparing retinal thickness in Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and healthy controls

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

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...

Normative database of OCT measurements in children

This study aimed to establish a normative database of optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Cirrus SD-OCT) parameters and to investigate if gender, ethnicity and axial length affect these measures by evaluating the effects of age and spherical equivalent refraction (SER) in...

‘At risk’ corneas are more easily identified with SCORE

Risk assessment of post-LASIK corneal ectasia in refractive surgery patients is now a more exact, objective, evaluation thanks to the work of Heidelberg Engineering and a leading research partner in Paris.

Cataract surgery is changing. Is the pathway keeping up?

- Sponsored Content - As demand rises and patients ask more of their vision after surgery, cataract innovation is being pushed at different points along the pathway - from more differentiated lens choices and expectation-setting before surgery to control, workflow...

The influence of refraction correction in swept source AS-OCT measurement parameters

Anterior segment (AS) optical coherence tomography (OCT) is the non-invasive technique used to analyse detailed cross-sectional images of the anterior structures of the eye. Swept source (SS) OCT at 1310nm can penetrate deeply into the eye with low levels of...

Ophthalmic Aid to Eastern Europe (OAEE)

Peter Cackett, Tim ffytche and Dr Irina Gout reflect on historic ophthalmic aid sent to Eastern Europe. This article was written prior to the horrific events in Ukraine. An appeal for funds and equipment may be made by OAEE later...

Human factors in the operating room

The importance of minimising human error in surgery is well established. This was initially sparked by lessons learned from the aviation industry in the 1970s after several fatal flight accidents [1]. This became a catalyst for a movement on training...
