Optic nerve, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, papilloedema
The authors review the latest evidence regarding how the optic nerves are affected by idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), possible pathophysiology and methods of assessment. IIH is described as a clinical syndrome of raised intracranial pressure of unknown aetiology. A systematic...

Aqueous outflow pump, Elastance, Glaucoma, Intraocular pressure regulation, Pulsatile aqueous outflow, Schlemm's canal valves
This is a research article where the authors propose a new model in conceptualising the mechanisms involved in the aqueous outflow at the trabecular meshwork (TM). The authors demonstrated evidence of a pump within the Schlemm’s canal. A pulse generated...

EYE - Neuro-ophthalmology
The authors present a large retrospective review cohort of consecutive patients diagnosed or presumed idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) over a three-year period at a single tertiary centre. Patients on medication with a known aetiology for IIH were excluded. The cohort...
Persistent subretinal fluid (PSFF) in pneumatic retinopexy (PNR) versus pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD): posthoc analysis of the PIVOT randomised trial

EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
This is a posthoc study of the PIVOT randomised trial over a 12 month period, to evaluate the functional outcomes of the incidence of PSF in PnR versus PPV following RRD surgery. One hundred and fifty-eight patients were recruited and...
Choroid and retinal changes post COVID-19
The authors aimed to evaluate choroid and inner neural layers in people previously recovered from Covid-19 compared to healthy controls using optical coherence tomography (OCT) over a six-month period. They recruited 96 people: 56 with Covid-19 at least three months...How the thinking machine is transforming the retinal landscape
