Refractive surgery for anisometropic amblyopia

The authors report the outcomes of refractive surgery with phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) implant for management of anisometropic amblyopia in children intolerant to conventional therapy. This was a retrospective study of 71 eyes of 71 patients of which 58 were...

Clinical predictors of proliferative sickle cell retinopathy

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder resulting in production of Haemoglobin S (HbS), which aggregates in conditions of hypoxia, acidosis or hyperosmolarity. This leads to vascular stasis, thrombosis and ischaemia. The authors present a cross-sectional study (45 consecutive...

Long-term outcomes of deep anterior lamellar versus penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus

This is a retrospective consecutive and comparative case series of keratoplasties (228 deep anterior lamellar keratoplasties (DALKs) and 274 penetrating keratoplasties (PKs)) in a single centre by one surgeon in France, between 1993 and 2021. Graft survival was 96.7% at...

Moorfields cataract, medical retina and disc assessment

The Cataract/medical retina/ disc assessment short course has been designed to meet the training needs of band 6’s and 7s who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in disease recognition, management and intervention of cataract, medical retina and disc...

Breakthroughs in the genetics of angle-closure glaucoma

Angle closure glaucoma (ACG) is not widely known to be a familial condition, yet the recent explosion of genetic data and large scale genome wide investigations have confirmed at least 13 genetic loci associated with ACG [1], and provided some...

Considerations in the management of retinal disorders

Vision research presentations and publications explore practice considerations in the management of AMD and diabetic retinopathy. Over the past two decades in Europe there has been a decreasing prevalence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and an improvement in visual acuity...

Belfast briefing: Retina Day roundup from the RCOphth 2024 Annual Congress

Upper eyelid ulceration as a presenting sign of frontal sinus mucocele

Introduction A sinus mucocele is an epithelium-lined sac filled with mucus and desquamated epithelium. It forms secondary to inflammatory processes that occur in a sinus with an obstructed ostium. Predisposing conditions include previous trauma, surgery, tumours, anatomical abnormalities, and chronic...

Adaptive optics imaging: resolving single cells in the living eye

The human retina is unique in the central nervous system (CNS) in that it can be directly visualised non-invasively. Technological advances of several imaging modalities, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), multichannel scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) and fundus photography, have afforded...

My top five: Emerging alternatives to manage and treat nAMD

Wet (exudative or neovascular) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterised by choroidal neovascularisation, in which new blood vessels from the choroid invade through Bruch’s membrane. These blood vessels proliferate beneath or through the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), causing patients to...
