Treatment of vertical diplopia in the reading position
This paper describes the use of slab-off prisms for the treatment of vertical diplopia in the reading position. The following data were collected: main symptom complaint, visual acuity, refractive error, binocular vision including sensory fusion and stereoacuity, alternating cover test...Principles of management
Whatever section of pathology is to blame and wherever it strikes, the aim of treatment is always the same. Find the cause if you can. Establish the effects of the cause. Halt the pathological process if you can. Reverse its...
Brn3b neuroprotective effect in rat glaucoma model
An adeno-associated virus-directed overexpression of the Brn3b protein in hypothesised to confer neuroprotective effects in this paper. This is ultimately tested in a well-accepted rat glaucoma model (Morrison’s model: saline injection into episcleral veins of rat eyes with a force...Emerging therapies for geographic atrophy: complement inhibitors show potential to slow progression and preserve RPE and photoreceptor integrity
Geographic atrophy (GA) is an advanced form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) characterised by progressive, irreversible loss of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors and is estimated to account for approximately 10% of AMD-related blindness [1-4]. The Age-Related Eye...People watching…
Confession time: I love a good airport lounge! Not only does it mean that you are about to go get some sunshine on a well-deserved break, it also provides a perfect opportunity to watch people go by. And what a...What's trending Jun/Jul 2024

International orthoptics for stroke
The purpose of this study was to consider the practice of orthoptists internationally in care provision for post stroke visual impairment through an international survey. An online survey of 30 questions was circulated via the International Orthoptic Association and completed...
Functional visual field loss using automated static perimetry
Functional visual field loss is traditionally assessed by kinetic perimetry, typically producing spiralling isopters. This study looked at the spatial distributions of functional field deficits using automated static perimetry. A retrospective review of automated perimetry records was conducted using a...
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...
