The 50th anniversary of St Thomas’ ‘Trends in Ophthalmology’ meeting, will be two days of exciting discussions, presentations, and networking opportunities with leading experts in the field. This meeting will be extra special as we are also celebrating 75 years...Learnings and trends in the management of open-angle and angle-closure glaucoma
To be truly disruptive, newer technologies need to offer a quality of life benefit over medication to a broad population of glaucoma sufferers. Evidence and converging trends in medical and surgical management of glaucoma were explored in counterpoint discussions and...Grading of ocular inflammation in uveitis: an overview
Anterior uveitis is the commonest form of uveitis, which can lead to severe morbidity if not treated appropriately [1]. Data from general ophthalmology practices suggest around 90% of uveitis encountered by comprehensive ophthalmologists is anterior uveitis [2]. Intermediate (vitreous), posterior...Corneal hysteresis: An emerging biomarker in the management of glaucoma
Corneal hysteresis (CH) is gaining recognition as a valuable parameter in the management of glaucoma. Corneal hysteresis is defined as the difference between the inward and outward pressure responses of the cornea during deformation. This measurement reflects the viscoelastic properties...AI breakthrough brings geographic atrophy treatment a step closer
A team led by Dr Konstantinos Balaskas at Moorfields Eye Hospital Reading Centre has developed a fully automated, deep-learning model (algorithm) that can detect and quantify geographic atrophy using standard optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans.
Conjunctival melanoma involving the lacrimal drainage system
A total of 52 patients were diagnosed with conjunctival melanoma over a period of 17 years, 17 of whom required orbital exenteration. Five of these were found to have melanoma involving the lacrimal drainage apparatus (LDA). One was evident clinically...
Descemetorhexis without endothelial keratoplasty
This retrospective study examined outcomes of the largest reported series of eyes, which underwent Descemetorhexis without endothelial keratoplasty (DWEK) for Fuch’s endothelial dystrophy with mean 10 months of follow-up. Seventeen eyes were included in analysis; with 82.4% achieving corneal clearance...
Fixed or variable Muller’s muscle resection
This is a retrospective analysis of 60 patients who underwent posterior approach ptosis surgery utilising a Muller’s muscle resection. The study compares those who underwent a fixed resection length of 7mm of Muller’s muscle with those having a variable resection...
Using a tumour registry to investigate optic nerve gliomas
This study is a retrospective comparative analysis. Patients with optic nerve glioma and pilocytic astrocytoma were identified through the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) cancer registry covering a 42-year period using standardised codes. The following data was extracted: basic...
