Effect of phacoemulsification on facility of outflow
This is a prospective study to examine the change in electronic Schotz tonographic outflow (TOF) and IOP measurements after phacoemulsification. Intraocular pressure was measured using Goldman‘s applanation tonography (GAT). Data were collected at baseline, three, six and 12 months postoperatively....
Delayed angle closure in pseudophakia and repeated intravitreal therapy
The authors report two cases of acute angle closure many years after uneventful cataract surgery and posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Both patients had neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and received regular intravitreal injections (24 and 25 injections in...
Relationship between intraocular pressure and optic nerve damage in optic nerve drusen
The authors present a retrospective study exploring the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) and optic nerve damage in patients with optic nerve drusen. The aim was to evaluate if patients with normal ocular pressure at the time of optic nerve...
Predictors for developing strabismus after paediatric cataract surgery
This study investigates the predictors for strabismus development in patients with paediatric cataract and their final visual acuity. The aim was to improve the treatment of both deprivation and strabismic amblyopia after surgery. The study included 46 children; 21 male,...In conversation with Professor Rubens Belfort (2018)
We caught up with Professor Belfort at the 2018 Royal College of Ophthalmologists Annual Congress to discuss his Duke Elder Oration on ‘Classic, emergent and unknown intraocular infectious diseases'.

One of the most admired of UK opticians, Roger Pope, holder of two Royal Warrants, has sadly passed away leaving a legacy as the greatest colleague and friend to the optical community.Ophthalmology elective: a local experience
Dr Rajan Sondh talks about medical electives and how he believes they are an opportunity to explore career interests, giving undergraduates an opportunity to develop skills in areas that they wouldn’t normally encounter on placements. Typically, electives are taken abroad,...
Strabismus and scleral buckling
The authors examine the incidence of strabismus following scleral buckle for retinal detachment surgery and the factors that influence the strabismus, its incidence, preventative measures and treatment options. This was a retrospective review of 344 patients (360 eyes) with a...
Surgical effect of limited membrane dissection
Strabismus surgery was performed with minimal dissection of Tenons sheath and minimal tissue manipulation compared to conventional methods for patients with pure horizontal strabismus – to evaluate the effect on surgical outcomes. The study included 54 patients; 52% female. Mean...
Analysis of needle site after intravitreal injection for retinoblastoma
This study analysed the needle washings from retinoblastoma (RB) eyes receiving intravitreal Melphalon to consider risk of tumour externalisation from the procedure – 280 injections to 63 eyes in 61 patients were evaluated. Unilateral RB was present in 24 patients...
