Laser pointer maculopathy

The objective of this study was to describe the potential clinical presentations of retinal pathology resulting from exposure to laser pointers. The study included eight eyes of seven patients. Mean age was 18.7 years (12-36). Most were accidental self-inflicted while...

New grading description for ROP retinal changes for those meeting termination of vision screening guidelines

This study reports and characterises residual retinal changes seen in eyes that meet criteria for termination of acute retinal screening exams. A novel grading system was used in which retinal exams were graded A to E. ‘A’ was defined as...

Retinal structural features of CMV retinitis

Confocal adaptive optics (AO) technology has enabled cellular level retinal imaging, including imaging of photoreceptors and blood flow. Adaptive optics scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (AOSLO) is a technology that provides high resolution and high contrast retinal images by correcting ocular aberrations....

Review of international telemedicine infrastructure for ROP

This review aimed to review the information and communications technology available for telemedicine, the internet access and economic status of countries at greater risk for higher prevalence of ROP, the framework of established ROP telemedicine programmes, and the cost-effectiveness of...

Chandelier-assisted versus standard scleral buckling for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair. Systematic review and meta-analysis

Despite a significant global decline in standard scleral buckling (SSB) procedures for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), it continues to hold its place as an essential treatment option, offering distinct advantages such as cost-effectiveness, preservation of the vitreous, improved final visual...

A standardised strategy for uveitis etiological diagnosis

This was a prospective, non-inferiority, multicentre randomised control trial, which aimed to assess the effectiveness of a standardised approach in the etiological diagnosis of uveitis versus an open strategy, where clinicians could perform any test. The authors developed their standardised...

Stereotactic radiotherapy for polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy

Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is a variant of neovascular AMD. It is a disease of choroidal vasculature characterised by abnormal branching vascular network with aneurysmal dilatations (polyps). Features of PCV include pigment epithelial detachments (PED), subretinal fluid (SRF) accumulation and...
