Choroidal and retinal vascular changes after horizontal rectus surgery

The authors used wide field swept-source OCT angiography (SSOCTA) to evaluate changes in retinal and choroidal blood flow before and after horizontal rectus muscle surgery. They aimed to characterise the haemodynamic impact of extraocular muscle surgery on the posterior pole...

Optical coherence tomography angiography usability in measuring iris vasculature in strabismus surgery

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) as a screening tool for anterior segment ischemia (ASI) in strabismus surgery. Optical coherence tomography angiography measurements were taken in 18 subjects. Twelve were...

From Dye to Digital: Why OCTA is replacing invasive imaging in retinal care

For decades, retinal imaging has relied on invasive dye based techniques to visualise the eye’s vasculature. However, Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) is fast becoming the preferred modality, replacing fluorescein and ICG angiography in many clinical settings. As highlighted by...

Quantum imaging research could improve retinal scans

New EU-funded feasibility project is testing a quantum approach that could reveal finer detail in the eye than ever before. A European research consortium is exploring a new quantum imaging technique that could one day help clinicians see the earliest...

My Top Five: Ophthalmology learning tools for doctors

Starting a career in ophthalmology can be both exciting and demanding. Despite its captivating and broad nature, ophthalmology often proves challenging for beginners around the globe due to limited exposure during medical school [1–5]. Fortunately, plenty of resources are available,...

Assessment of retinal capillary VD and FAZ area in CSC using OCTA

The authors aim to report a cross-sectional, case controlled study, the purpose of which was to access the retinal capillary vessel density (VD) and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area in acute and chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) patients compared to...

Simultaneous vs. alternate PCT disparity in XT

The authors quantified the relationship between simultaneous prism and cover test (SPCT) and alternate prism and cover test (APCT) alignment in patients with measures at the same visit after surgery for exotropia. This was a retrospective study of 955 patients...

Ophthalmic imaging in children

Ophthalmic imaging has in recent years become an integral part of the diagnosis and monitoring of patients. There is now a wide range of instruments available for imaging children and assisting in the provision of detailed clinical information for the...

Gemini Untwined: treating craniopagus conjoined twins

The authors discuss the successful separation of craniopagus conjoined twins at Great Ormond Street Hospital and the role of the ophthalmologist in such cases. Craniopagus conjoined twins are extraordinarily rare, occurring in only one in 2.5 million births and representing...

Fingolimod: ocular adverse effects

In this article the authors review the ocular side-effects of Fingolimod which is an oral immunomodulating drug used in the management of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Fingolimod-associated macular oedema (FAME) is the most common ocular side-effect linked to this drug....
