Corneal lenticule allotransplant
This animal study looked at corneal lenticule allograft transplantation in rabbits. Seven rabbits underwent small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) procedures, where their stromal lenticules were extracted and transplanted fresh into pre-prepared corneal stromal pockets of seven recipient eyes. Animals were...
Extraocular muscle OCT
The goal was to evaluate the use of the Heidelberg anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) to image extraocular rectus muscle insertions and to expand the use of the AS-OCT to also image vertical rectus muscles. The authors evaluated inter...
Does cornea cross-linkage reduce the rate of corneal transplants in keratoconus?
Cornea cross-linking (CXL) is a relatively new treatment in the management of keratoconus, which may help prevent the need for corneal transplant. This paper investigates if the introduction of corneal cross-linkage has reduced the number of corneal transplants performed annually...
PlusoptiX and SPOT screening
The goal of this study was to determine whether an instrument that uses referral criteria having a high specificity (plusoptiX S08) would fail to refer children who have significant amblyopia and who would have been detected by an instrument using...
Comparison of treatment for hemianopia following stroke
The authors report the screening process and recruitment figures for a randomised controlled trial comparing interventions for post stroke homonymous hemianopia. Interventions included Fresnel prisms, visual search training and standard care (information only). Primary outcome measure was the change in...
Cataract surgery and circadian photoentrainment
The study authors sought to investigate the possible effects of circadian photoentrainment following cataract. This was a randomised clinical trial, where 76 eyes of 76 patients (with bilateral cataract) were randomised to blue-blocking or neutral intraocular lenses (IOLs). Outcome measures...
The impact of conjunctivochalasis on dry eye symptoms and signs
The study aimed to draw a relationship between conjunctivochalasis and dry eye symptoms via a dry eye questionnaire (DEQ5), as well as signs such as tear osmolarity, tear break up time, corneal staining, Schirmer score, meibomian gland dropout, eye lid...
Treatment of infantile cataract with secondary IOLs
The authors examined whether secondary IOL insertion is helpful in the successful treatment of monocular infantile cataracts. Eleven children were reviewed: eight with cataract extraction at one to four months of age and three at five to seven months of...
Vision measurements vs. self-rating
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between self-rated vision status and tests of visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, stereoacuity, bilateral visual field and self-reported visual function in specific domains of near and far vision. The goal was...
Randomised trial of multifocal intraocular lens versus monovision
The authors report on a randomised, multicentre clinical trial comparing the outcomes of Tecnis ZM900 diffractive multifocal intraocular lenses (IOL) versus monovision with Akreos AO monofocal IOL (dominant eye targeted for emmetropia and non-dominant eye targeted for -1 to -1.50...
