App detection of leukocoria
This paper outlines ARCELE – Computer Assisted Detection of Leukocoria. This is an iPhone app developed to increase early detection of retinoblastoma by detecting leukocoria. The aim of this study was to determine the use of CRADLE as a screening...
Laser photocoagulation vs. intravitreal (IVT) aflibercept for ROP
The efficacy, recurrence rate and requirement for additional treatment were compared between laser photocoagulation and IVT of 1mg/0.025ml aflibercept in the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The study included 27 babies (51 eyes) who completed a follow-up period after...
What is paracentral acute middle maculopathy?
This is a review article characterising a clinical entity called paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM). The article highlights the fact that retinal capillary plexuses are organised predominantly into three trilaminar capillary layers occupying the area between the nerve fibre layer...
Retinal changes prior to hydroxychloroquine toxicity
In this retrospective longitudinal study, the authors examined changes in retinal layer thickness in patients taking hydroxychloroquine without evidence of retinopathy. Patients were drawn from a hydroxychloroquine screening clinic and required at least two OCT scans, at least one year...
ROPScore for detection of any and severe ROP
ROPScore is a free tool consisting of a logistic regression equation to calculate the risk per child and calculated one time per infant at six weeks of life. It helps to predict severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). This study aimed...
Cystoid macular oedema following retinal detachment surgery
There are limited studies examining the incidence and risk factors for postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CMO) following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. Postoperative CMO is thought to be due to pro-inflammatory state, where numerous cytokines lead to tight junction dysfunction,...
Adjuvant radiotherapy in orbital malignancy
This is a retrospective review of high dose volumetric modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) for adjuvant treatment of patients with orbital malignancy who had already undergone local excision or exenteration. VMAT differs from conventional external beam radiotherapy in that it is...
Chorioretinal atrophy in punctate inner choroidopathy / multifocal choroiditis
This study reported the five-year outcomes of chorioretinal atrophy (CRA) progression in patients with punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) or multifocal choroiditis (MFC) in 45 eyes of 36 patients. The mean age of the cohort of patients was 37 ±13.37 years...
FA findings in treatment-naive premature infants
This retrospective study examined fluorescein angiography (FA) images of 162 eyes of 81 treatment-naive infants with retinal vascular immaturity and persistent avascular retina (PAR) despite exceeding postmenstrual age of 60 weeks. Disc diameter (DD), optic disc-to-fovea distance (FD), the length...
Preterm birth and refractive error in an Indian infant population
This study was undertaken to identify and compare the changes in refractive outcome in infants with and without retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), to inform incidence of refractive error. This was a prospective study of 300 consecutive premature infants with birth...
Visual acuity outcomes after cataract surgery in type 2 diabetes (NIDDM): the action to control cardiovascular risk in diabetes (ACCORD) study
This is a retrospective case-control study of 1136 eyes enrolled in the 784 ACCORD patients receiving cataract surgery between 2001-2014. 362 / 1136 eyes had gradable fundus photography for diabetic retinopathy (DR). Seven hundred and sixty-two eyes (67.1%) achieved 20...
