The evolution and visual prognosis of glial proliferation of different grades after macular hole surgery
This retrospective research study aimed to investigate the evolution of glial proliferation of varying grades after successful idiopathic macular hole repair and its effects on foveal microstructure and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Two-hundred and two eyes were enrolled in this...
Risk factors for consecutive XT
The authors report a retrospective study to investigate possible risk factors leading to consecutive exotropia development in patients who underwent two muscle strabismus surgery to achieve an initial alignment within 10PD. The exotropia group included 25 female and 22 males....Optical coherence tomography – reinventing the eye examination
It has been 25 years since Huang et al. presented the first optical coherence tomography (OCT) images in Science [1]. With vast improvements in OCT technology over the years, it is now possible to acquire high-resolution cross-sectional images of the...Use of off-the-shelf magnifying glasses as a cost-effective alternative for surgical loupes
Surgical loupes are an integral part of ophthalmic surgery on the ocular surface and in the periocular area. Available in different magnifications, they provide a clear view of the field of surgery which can greatly assist in identifying fine structures...Ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid: the importance of early detection and treatment

The ocular manifestation of MMP, ocular mucous membrane pemphigoid (OMMP), is a sight-threatening condition characterised by conjunctival cicatricial changes associated with corneal vascularisation and scarring....
Comparison of thrombolysis and conservative management in acute retinal ischaemia
The authors present a retrospective cohort study of individuals presenting with acute, painless, monocular vision loss and diagnosed with acute retinal ischaemia. Reasons for exclusion were iatrogenic aetiology, transient vision loss, missing initial visual acuity data, more than 16 hours...Could the sclera be key to glaucoma?
The glaucomas are a group of conditions characterised by optic neuropathy and associated visual field defects. Of these, chronic open-angle glaucoma (COAG) – diagnosed on the basis of progressive structural changes to the optic nerve head (ONH) and nerve fibre...Behind the eyes: Unravelling the mystery of a painless progressive proptosis
