Subthreshold micropulse laser in BRVO

The purpose of this retrospective, consecutive, single-centre, non-randomised, and case-control study was to verify the therapeutic effects and safety of oedema (from branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO)) recurrence suppression effect using 577-nm subthreshold micropulse laser photocoagulation (SMLP) in combination with...

ILM peeling techniques in myopic traction maculopathy

Myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) is a sight-threatening complication of high myopia including macular retinoschisis (MRS) or foveoschisis, foveal detachment (FD) and myopic macular hole (MMH). Standard surgical treatment is vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, but full-thickness macular hole...

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...

Management of proliferative diabetic retinopathy

Diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of blindness in the working-age population. Due to the worsening global epidemic of diabetes, the incidence of morbidity caused by the disease is set to increase [1]. The prevalence of diabetes in the UK...

25 years of OCT

David Huang first described optical coherence tomography (OCT) in 1991, in his seminal paper on the subject in Science. This method developed the work of others on ophthalmic interferometry, which essentially showed that measuring reflected light could be used to...

Paediatric optic disc anomalies

Anomalies of the optic nerve are relatively rare, but account for a significant proportion of sight impairment in children and adults. The recognition of these anomalies by eye health professionals is important not only due to their potential impact on...

Evaluation of Optive® in ocular discomfort after anti-VEGF intravitreal injection

In this study the authors prospectively evaluated the efficacy of Optive® eye drops after in full, then abbreviation - intravitreal injection (IVT). Patients naïve to IVT were included in the study. No artificial tear treatment was prescribed after the first...

How many injections in nAMD: ranibizumab vs. aflibercept

Intravitreal anti-VEGF injections make up a large proportion of the workload in ophthalmology clinics. Since the introduction of aflibercept with eight weekly injections there has been an option to use a treatment which may require less treatment, with potential cost...

Vitrectomy after ocriplasmin for VVMT adhesion of MH study

This is a multicentre retrospective study of 51 eyes that received intravitreal ocriplasmin between January 2013 to January 2014 for symptomatic vitreomacular (VMT) +/- macular hole (MH), and then went on to PPV for persistent pathology, comparing a control group...

Detection of antiranibizumab antibodies in exudative AMD

In this study the authors aimed to detect immune response to ranibizumab treatment in wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). An ELISA was employed to quantify the anti-ranibizumab titre which was compared against the control anti-abciximab titre. Titres of anti-ranibizumab antibodies...

Visual acuity after cataract surgery in AMD patients

The data from this study are obtained from the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) 2 and analysed to evaluate if cataract surgery benefits patients with concurrent age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The AREDS 2 was a five year, prospective, multi-centre randomised...

The long-term effects of AREDS on AMD progression

The Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) was an 11-centre, double-masked, clinical trial that in 2001 found a high-dose of antioxidant vitamins plus zinc was effective in protecting against progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in patients with moderate to high...
