Macular atrophy and choriocapillaris nonperfusion
This Japanese study compared the choriocapillaris (CC) nonperfusion area as measured on OCTA with areas of macular atrophy (MA) measured by fundus autofluoresence (FAF). A total of 44 eyes were assessed (31 were treated with anti-VEGF alone and 13 had...
Is pre-eclampsia / eclampsia a risk factor for non-infective uveitis?
This population based retrospective matched cohort study was the first of its kind to suggest an association between preeclampsia / eclampsia (PEE) and non-infective uveitis (NIU). They used the Longitudinal National Health Insurance database in Taiwan to assess 2073 post-delivery...
Glaucoma and capillary perfusion
Elevated IOP is important but not the sole factor responsible for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death and optic nerve damage in glaucoma. There is increasing evidence that visual loss correlates with macular inner retinal thinning. A total of 148 eyes...
Biopsy of nasolacrimal duct using sheath guided dacryoendoscopy
In this study the author’s biopsied six eyes of five individuals with recurrent nasolacrimal duct obstruction following a prior dacryoendoscopic probing. All procedures were performed under local anaesthetic, the obstruction or lesion was directly visualised with dacryoendoscope and biopsy was...
Biometry measure after cycloplegia
The authors investigated optical biometry in an Indian paediatric population on normal and cataract paediatric eyes and studied the effect of cycloplegia on different parameters measured in these eyes. This was a prospective study of 76 eyes aged five to...
Amblyopia risk factors in premature children
The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and timing of presentation of amblyopia risk factors in premature children during the first three years of life. This was a retrospective study including 145 of 292 premature children. Retinopathy...
Choroidal vascularity in NAION
The authors present a cross-sectional, non-interventional study of healthy volunteers and those with non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) recruited over a six-month period at a single site. NAION is the most common cause of acute optic neuropathy over the...
Children’s perspectives of amblyopia treatment
This study measured the impact of amblyopia treatment (patching and atropine) on health-related quality of life from the child’s perspective using the Child Amblyopia Treatment Quality of Life (CATQoL) questionnaire. The study recruited 46 children with no treatment in the...
Using small amplitude saccades to assess saccadic velocity
Saccades are a key component in the assessment and diagnosis of neuro-ophthalmological disorders. Clinicians are typically taught to use large amplitude saccades (LAS) of at least 20 degrees to assess saccadic velocity. It has been suggested, however, that small amplitude...
A case study of posterior globe flattening in idiopathic intracranial hypertension
The authors present a single case of posterior globe flattening without papilloedema in idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The case was a 64-year-old woman with a one-year history of transient visual loss in her left eye only. Visual acuity was 20/20 in...
Pupil responses in diabetes
This study aimed to investigate pupillary involvement in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and to evaluate any relationship between severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and pupillary responses. Participants included 133 individuals in four groups: proliferative DR (n=21), non-proliferative...
