Corneal biomechanics and refractive outcomes after cataract surgery
The authors aimed to study a range of corneal properties and correlate them with refractive outcomes after phacoemulsification. Outcomes were reviewed in a fairly small group of 40 patients (including only right eyes) operated by two surgeons using clear corneal...Update on emerging therapies for age-related macular degeneration

EYE - Neuro-ophthalmology
Ischaemic optic neuropathy (ION) is the commonest adult optic neuropathy encountered today in our ageing population, is a common cause of irreversible visual loss and is usually associated with underlying vascular disease. The condition is classified as follows: (a) Anterior...
Ocular lubrication versus bandage contact lens in recurrent erosion syndrome (RES)
Twenty-nine patients (eight traumatic, five epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, two idiopathic) were randomised using SPSS to either ocular lubricants or bandage contact lenses (BCLs). Only patients previously treated with ocular lubricants were included. Patients with previous surgery, laser treatment, dry...

EYE - Glaucoma
This study compares the outcomes of transscleral diode laser cyclo-photo-coagulation with the treatment parameters used. This was a retrospective chart review of a random sample of diode laser procedures using the G-probe over 10 years for uncontrolled glaucoma. The main...
Ointment related granulomas post-blepharoplasty
This is a retrospective review of eight patients who developed granulomatous masses after lower lid blepharoplasty. All patients had sutureless bilateral trans-conjunctival surgery, and lubricating ointment was instilled into the inferior fornix postoperatively for two days. Painless lower lid masses...
