Randomised trial of multifocal intraocular lens versus monovision
The authors report on a randomised, multicentre clinical trial comparing the outcomes of Tecnis ZM900 diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses (IOL) versus monovision with Akreos AO monofocal IOL (dominant eye targeted for emmetropia and non-dominant eye targeted for -1 to -1.50...
Clinical course of vitreomacular adhesion managed by initial observation
The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical course of patients with idiopathic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) with a noncomparative case series of patients who had clinical symptoms and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography findings consistent with VMA. The VMA...
Aberrant regeneration rates following traumatic oculomotor palsy
Traumatic oculomotor nerve palsies can result in aberrant regeneration / synkinesis which impairs normal facial function. In this paper, the authors retrospectively reviewed the records of 16 patients with traumatic oculomotor nerve palsies who were treated with or without steroids....
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...
Acute dacryocystic retention
This is a retrospective study of patients with acute dacryocystic retention (ADR). The condition is distinct from infectious dacryocystitis, and is characterised by an acute onset of pain and epiphora associated with a tender but not inflamed lacrimal sac thought...
MISS vs. conventional surgery
This was a prospective randomised parallel arm design study for 40 patients. Group 1 consisted of conventional strabismus surgery using the limbal approach and group 2 consisted of minimally invasive strabismus surgery (MISS). Mean age was 21.1±2.73 years for MISS...
Lower postoperative scar height is associated with increased postoperative trichiasis one year after bilamellar tarsal rotation surgery
Bilamellar tarsal rotation has been a key component of the WHO SAFE approach to blindness from trichiaisis (surgery, antibiotics, facial hygiene, environment). The World Health Organisation (WHO) manual describes the procedure as a full thickness blepharotomy placed 3.0mm above and...
Lucentis for pseudophakic CMO
Pseudophakic cystoid macular oedema (CMO) develops angiographically in up to 20-30% after uneventful phacoemulsification. This study aimed to evaluate the potential efficacy and safety of intravitreal ranibizumab in patients with pseudophakic CMO after cataract surgery. Seven eyes were included in...
Visual impairment in patients with glaucoma
This retrospective observational study assessed the prevalence of end-of-life visual impairment in patients with glaucoma. A total of 122 deceased patients followed for glaucoma were included and data was collected from patient notes. Sixty-one patients had open-angle glaucoma and 61...
Ocular characteristics in Marfan syndrome
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disorder with clinical manifestations associated with cardiovascular, ocular and skeletal organ systems. Typical signs are descending aortic root aneurysms, ectopia lentis, tall stature and scoliosis. This observational study looked at the ocular characteristics, visual...
Impact of medical vs. surgical treatment on quality of life in glaucoma patients
The author recruited 225 patients across two sites and divided them into three groups. Group 1 medical treatment only, Group 2 surgical treatment only, Group 3 mixed medical and surgical (patients still on drops after surgery). They then used a...
