RPE tears in cases of IPCV
The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence, characteristics, management and prognosis of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears in patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). Medical records of previous cases were reviewed over an eight-year period from a...
Comparing bimedial rectus recession and botulinum toxin for partially accommodative esotropia
The authors present a retrospective case review to compare bimedial rectus recession and botulinum toxin injection to the medial recti. This study was possible due to the different first-line preferences of the individual surgeons within the team. Inclusion criteria were...
Spot screen versus cycloplegic refraction
This study compared the spherical, cylindrical and spherical equivalent values obtained by the Spot screener before and after induction of cycloplegia with the values of cycloplegic refraction to explore the application value of the Spot screener in refractive error screening...
Aflibercept, bevacizumab or ranibizumab for DMO
This is a two-year randomised clinical trial of 660 patients with visual acuity impairment from diabetic macular oedema (DMO) who were randomised to monthly injections of 2.0mg aflibercept, 1.25 mg bevacizumab or 0.3mg ranibizumab. Focal or grid laser was performed...

MicroRNA inhibits corneal neovascularisation
MicroRNAs (miR) are small non-coding RNA that target mRNA for destruction. MiR target about 30% of the protein coding genes and fine tune their expression. MiR have been shown to be involved in several cellular processes including cell cycle, tissue...
A case report of cavernous sinus syndrome following dental procedure
