Ireland has a relatively high rate of spina bifida (SB), with a neural tube defect rate of 1.05 per 1000 births of which 47% are SB. This study was an audit of SB myelomeningocele (SBM) cases over an 8-year period,...
Risk assessment of post-LASIK corneal ectasia in refractive surgery patients is now a more exact, objective, evaluation thanks to the work of Heidelberg Engineering and a leading research partner in Paris.
The Art is long and Life is short. So goes the dispiriting tag in Latin and flung from day one and at regular intervals thereafter at idle medical students who, inevitably brainwashed, come by graduation to believe that the only...
This study aimed to evaluate the success rates of transcanalicular diode laser-assisted dacryocystorhinostomy (TCL-DCR) during three years of follow-up and to find clinical factors that influence surgical outcomes. Major outcomes were defined as a patent neo-ostium tested by irrigation (anatomical...
This ‘tutorial’ format paper aims to translate key research findings and conclusions into practical terms, discuss their clinical utility and introduce a new clinical method that accurately measures the static visual deficits in infantile nystagmus (INS), predicts the improvements that...
The authors aimed to evaluate current clinical practice of quantifying ductions and fields of binocular single vision (BSV) in the UK and Ireland. An online questionnaire was used and was circulated via the British & Irish Orthoptic Society (BIOS) member...
