Vision screening opinion
The aim of this paper is to describe experts’ perceptions of best practice guidelines and competency frameworks for visual screening in children. A focus group of approximately 75 minutes duration consisted of five orthoptists and two paediatric ophthalmologists with more...
An unusual case of sellar chondroma
A single case of chondrogenic neoplasm arising from the base of the skull is presented and discussed. These benign and slow growing tumours in the sellar region are extremely rare and as such this article provides a useful insight and...
Use of the RAPDx device to evaluate efficacy of treatment in patients with optic nerve disease
The RAPDx objectively determines the RAPD magnitude by alternately presenting light stimuli to each eye and deriving amplitude and latency scores. The authors of this paper evaluated the amplitude and latency scores from the RAPDx together with other ophthalmic investigations...
Impact of amblyopia on adult planning and problem solving
This study sought to evaluate whether monocular amblyopia has an impact on planning and problem solving in the adult population. The authors used the Tower of London (TOL) test to address this question. The TOL test was developed to assess...
Microperimetry measurements in anisometropic amblyopia
The authors aimed to evaluate retinal sensitivity and fixation characteristics in children with anisometropic amblyopia by macular analyser integrity assessment (MAIA) microperimetry and to compare the results between amblyopia and fellow eyes. The study included 39 children; 21 female –...
A survey of neuro-ophthalmologists on use of corticosteroids in giant cell arteritis
While corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment in giant cell arteritis (GCA), the type, dose, route and duration of treatment remains controversial. The authors surveyed 180 neuro-ophthalmologists on their use of this treatment via email in a two-month period. Results...
Complications of limbal stay sutures
There is limited literature describing complications at the limbal suture site. The authors describe two cases with postoperative complications due to use of intraoperative limbal stay sutures. Each case had strabismus surgery at other centres but with presentation to the...
Distribution, progression, and outcomes of inflammatory chorioretinal lesions
This study investigated the distribution and progression of multifocal choroiditis (MFC) inflammatory lesions in 25 eyes of 20 patients and their correlations with clinical outcomes at 24 months. The distribution of choroiditis inflammatory lesions were evaluated semi-automatically using a dedicated...
Natural history of idiopathic intracranial hypertension depending on incidental or symptomatic presentation
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...
Test retest values for TNO, Frisby, Lang stereopad and Asteroid stereoacuity tests
This study aimed to determine test-retest variability of four different measurements of stereoacuity including TNO, Frisby, Lang stereopad and Asteroid, and compare stereoacuity values between tests in an adult population. Participants were >18 years of age (mean 38 years, SD...
Anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody positive optic neuritis: a retrospective medical records review
Optic neuritis causes acute loss of visual function and can result in devastating visual dysfunction. Recently, measurements of anti-aquaporin 4 (AQP4) and anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies have become available, making it possible to evaluate the disease pathogenesis. This paper...
