Isolated trochlear (fourth cranial) nerve palsy in an Asian population
The authors report on 35 consecutive new cases of isolated fourth cranial nerve palsy seen over a period of six months in one neuro-ophthalmology clinic in Southeast Asia, with emphasis on their aetiology and management. We report on 35 patients...
Trabeculectomy with MMC in post-traumatic angle recession glaucoma
This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C (trab MMC) in phakic eyes with post-traumatic angle recession glaucoma with no prior intraocular surgery. Thirty-two phakic eyes of 32 patients who underwent trab MMC between January-2002 and...
IOL power calculation formulas for myopic eyes undergoing cataract surgery after excimer laser
The authors set out to compare the accuracy of four no-history formulas: Barrett True-K, Haigis-L, Shammas-PL, and Triple-S to calculate the intraocular lens (IOL) power in eyes with previous myopic photorefractive keratectomy or laser in situ keratomileusis, according to their...
Features of branchio-oculo-facial syndrome
Branchio-oculo-facial (BOF) syndrome is an autosomal dominant inherited syndrome that typically presents with branchial cleft sinus defects, ocular anomalies and dysmorphic facial appearance. The authors present a new case alongside the results of a literature review describing the common genetic...
Prediction errors of formulas in optical biometers
This study was conducted retrospectively in a private practice setting. Nine formulas were compared for prediction error (postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) minus, predicted SE calculated by each formula), using two optical biometers (Lenstar – optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) and...
Automated grading of diabetic retinopathy: is it possible?
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a frequent microvascular complication of diabetes and a leading cause of blindness worldwide. However, much of this diabetic blindness can be delayed or even prevented with timely diagnosis and proper treatment. For this reason, regular screening...
Comparison of five IOL formula for paediatric eyes
There is no consensus on the most suitable intraocular lens formulas for paediatric eyes to provide consistent postoperative results. This study compared modern IOL formulas to identify the smallest mean prediction error among them: Hill-RBF 2.0, Barrett Universal II (BUII),...Typical or surprisingly uncharacteristic presentations of neuro-ophthalmic emergencies
Irrespective of geographical location or patient cohort, emergency departments are high risk locations capable of inspiring extreme anxiety and dread in patients and doctors alike. The stress multiplies when a walk-in or referred case is suspected of underlying neurological pathology....A closer look at the new wave of glaucoma surgery – radical or old school?
Glaucoma is a challenging condition to treat because the exact pathophysiology remains unclear and the only readily modifiable factor is the intraocular pressure (IOP). Additionally, most glaucoma patients are completely asymptomatic, yet are often subjected to lifelong medical therapy. The...
