Difference in anterior ciliary vessels across horizontal and vertical rectus muscles
In order to obtain more information about anterior ciliary vessels (ACVs), the authors compared bilateral ACVs of the lateral and medial recti muscles and intraoperative observations of the difference of AVC preservation between the lateral rectus and other rectus muscles....What's trending Jun/Jul 2020
Here in the UK, we’ve been in lockdown since 23 March 2020, with much of the rest of the world entering degrees of lockdown since February-March 2020. COVID-19 has dominated the headlines and social media, so without further ado, I...A look into the IOL space
Advances in the design and performance of intraocular lenses (IOLs) continue to be driven by demand for better outcomes, presbyopia correction and spectacle independence, alongside a better understanding of the dynamics of the crystalline lens, newer theories of accommodation and...Michael Barrymore’s laser eye adventure goes viral
In an electric episode that’s taken social media by storm, TV legend Michael Barrymore has joined world-leading laser eye surgeon Professor Dan Reinstein for a real patient procedure – with an impromptu saxophone concert pre-surgery. The 60-second video, now clocking...
Oculofacial plastic surgery – is antibiotic prophylaxis required?
This is a randomised, controlled, unmasked clinical trial evaluating whether topical antibiotic prophylaxis reduces the rate of infection after oculofacial plastic surgery compared to a non-antibiotic ointment. A total of 401 participants over the age of 18 were recruited, with...The curse of the college museum
David Greig lecture notebook. Courtesy of Dr Jacqueline Cahif, College Archivist, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. As sure as the inevitability of death and taxes, the hidden stories of past events will intermittently rise to the surface like oil...Applanation tonometry in the pandemic era: Are facial masks an obstacle to a correct intraocular pressure measurement?
Current recommendations in the UK advise on wearing any facial covering to prevent the spread of the coronavirus [1]. Whilst this is vital for patient and hospital staff safety, it has led to several changes in the approach to a...The Syrian Ophthalmologists Initiative (SOI): A lifeline to the future of ophthalmology in Syria
Syria, a nation with over 22 million people, has faced more than a decade of conflict that has severely impacted its healthcare infrastructure. Medical training has become fragmented, with many doctors lacking access to structured postgraduate education and essential clinical...
OCT measures of lateral and medial recti
The authors assessed the agreement of the measurements of the horizontal rectus muscle insertion distance to the limbus and the muscle thickness between three different OCT devices. This was a cross section observation study of 70 eyes of 35 subjects....
Lateral tarsal strip versus Bick’s procedure in correction of eyelid malposition
The authors report a retrospective case series of patients, to evaluate the effectiveness of Lateral Tarsal Strip (LTS) and Bick’s procedure (lateral wedge resection) for all types of involutional lower eyelid malposition, at two centres between January 2012 and 2015....Forward-tilt technique for intraocular pressure measurement in upgaze
The authors suggest a technique to improve the accuracy of measuring IOP in upgaze using Goldmann applanation tonometry. Graves’ ophthalmopathy, also known as thyroid eye disease, is an autoimmune inflammatory condition affecting the orbit and periorbital tissues [1]. It was...
