Revision of orbital fracture repairs

This is a retrospective review of 13 patients with sub-optimal outcomes following primary orbital fracture repairs who underwent revision surgery. All had fractures of the orbital floor, with four involving other orbital walls, and six also involving other facial bones....

Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy in the Asian population

This article provides an evaluation of changes in visual function associated with non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) among Korean patients. Visual changes were identified as a reduction in visual acuity by three Snellen lines or a deterioration of visual...

G-CSF intravitreal injections for NAION: a pilot study

In rodent models with anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) confers a neuroprotective effect on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) via anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory processes. This prospective study investigated the efficacy of intravitreal injection of G-CSF for the...

Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy outcomes in an Indian population

A large cohort study in an Indian population is presented, with clinical and genetic profile analysis of patients with Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) treated over a five-year period. The study included 157 patients; 143 male, 14 female (10.2:1 ratio)...

Variability between handheld fundus cameras

Handheld fundus cameras offer the potential of enhancing opportunities for telemedicine diagnosis of glaucoma, especially in underserved settings, as they are less bulky, inexpensive and don’t require skilled personnel compared to traditional table-mounted retinal cameras. This study aimed to compare...

Features of bacterial orbital cellulitis on MRI imaging

This multi-centre retrospective study from Australia and the UK examined the quantitative and qualitive parameters of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging in bacterial orbital cellulitis. Twenty MRI scans from 20 patients with pre-septal and orbital fat involvement (mean age: 40.8...

What plane should be used for ultrasound measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter?

This prospective observational study aimed to evaluate the differences between optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) between the patients’ two eyes and different ultrasound planes (transverse and sagittal). Participants were recruited over a two-year period from a single neurosurgical department. To...

Hypothesis for poor visual outcomes in myeline oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-related optic neuritis after first attack

The authors present a retrospective case review with the aim of describing the group of patients with myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated optic neuritis (MOG-ON) who had poor visual outcomes following their first attack despite rapid treatment. The study was conducted at a...

Closed-chamber haptic re-externalisation for posteriorly displaced sclerotomy and inadequate haptic tuck in glued posterior chamber intraocular lenses

This technique (online video http://jcrsjournal.org) emphasises the importance of both symmetrical and sufficient anterior placement of sclerotomies to externalise an adequate length of the haptics, which in turn provides good centration and stability of the intra-ocular lens (IOL). The authors...
