LASEK with mitomycin C to correct myopia in thin corneas
This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of laser-assisted subepithelial keratomileusis (LASEK) with intraoperative use of mitomycin C (MMC) performed on thin corneas for the correction of myopia. MMC modulates the corneal wound healing response in surface healing, thus reducing the...
Let the eye be the window to your body
The authors offer a comprehensive overview of how the eye provides novel insights into systemic health. The interplay between the eye and body has given rise to the field of oculomics – the application of ophthalmic biomarkers to understand mechanisms,...
RPE atrophy onset in treated nAMD
In this study the authors aim to evaluate the role of various factors for the development of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy over a period of five years in patients with nAMD. Fifty-two newly diagnosed nAMD patients with complete absence...
Risk of intraocular haemorrhage with new oral anticoagulants
The authors conducted a study to assess the risk of intraocular haemorrhage with warfarin dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban. All reported cases of intraocular haemorrhage (vitreous, choroidal, or retinal) with warfarin and new oral anticoagulants (NOACs) (including dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban) from the...The lived experience of benign essential blepharospasm
Benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) is a rare neurological condition which causes involuntary sustained or intermittent muscular contraction of both eyelids and upper facial muscles which cause closure of eyelids, abnormal facial expressions and distress [1]. The term dystonia is an...
IOP reduction and progression of high myopic glaucoma
This retrospective study of 131 eyes with high myopia (refraction >-6.0 dioptres or axial length >26mm), best corrected vision 20/40 or better, open angle and follow-up period of more than five years, were included from Korea. Based on the intraocular...Navigating the retina: the nitty-gritty of slit-lamp fundus examination
The slit-lamp fundus examination can be a difficult and disorientating task for beginners due to the retina being viewed in a non-anatomical orientation, the small area of retina illuminated, and the counterintuitive technique of the examination. This article provides a...
Risk factors for further surgery in consecutive ET
The preoperative and postoperative factors around first surgery for exotropia were investigated for predicting second surgery for consecutive esotropia. Fifty-two patients with consecutive esotropia after exotropia surgery were reviewed: 17 required surgery for the esotropia and 35 did not. There...
RR versus PR in children with intermittent exotropia
This is a retrospective study of 186 children who underwent resection-recession (RR) or plication-recession (PR) for intermittent exotropia between January 2008 and July 2016, from Seoul Korea, with a minimum follow-up of two years. Standard fornix based approach was used...
