OCTA in geographic atrophy
In this article the authors aim to give an overview of the current literature concerning the application of OCT-A in geographic atrophy (GA). GA is a disease characterised by loss of outer retinal layers including photoreceptors, degeneration of the retinal...What's trending Oct/Nov 2021

Endophthalmitis after intravitreal injections in France
In this nationwide, retrospective, multicentre case series, the authors looked at the incidence and characteristics of endophthalmitis after intravitreal injections of anti-VEGFs and steroids, given for a variety of posterior segment conditions (macular oedema secondary to diabetes or retinal vein...
RPE atrophy onset in treated nAMD
In this study the authors aim to evaluate the role of various factors for the development of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy over a period of five years in patients with nAMD. Fifty-two newly diagnosed nAMD patients with complete absence...
Retinal pigment epithelium tears
In this paper the authors review the current knowledge of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) tears. Although rare these can cause loss of visual acuity. They can occur spontaneously in pigment epithelial detachment (PED) due to occult choroidal neovascularisation (CNV), retinal...
Predicting outcomes in repair of canalicular lacerations
This is a retrospective study looking at results of primary canalicular repairs in a tertiary eye centre. Thirty-nine patients were included in the study. The cause of injury was blunt trauma in 51.2%, road traffic accident (RTA) in 30.7%, animal...
Characteristics of limbal lymphatic vasculature on confocal microscopy
This ex vivo study aims to describe the morphological characteristics of the human limbal lymphatic vasculature using confocal microscopy and immunofluorescence. Twelve corneal specimens are obtained from human donor eyes. These corneal buttons are not suitable for transplantation due to...RCOphth (The Royal College of Ophthalmologists) Cataract Surgery Complications
This course will focus on the practical management of posterior capsule rupture and zonular dialysis. This will be a “hands on” course with the emphasis on practicing anterior vitrectomy techniques, the use of capsular tension rings, capsule hooks and sulcus IOL implantation. There will also be interactive small group teaching on how to prevent surgical complications during phacoemulsification surgery. The course is aimed at ST5-ST7 trainees, Fellows and Consultants.RCOphth: Cataract Advanced Training with Simulation Course
This course will focus on advanced cataract surgery skills including the practical management of posterior capsule rupture and zonular dialysis. This will be a “hands on” course with the emphasis on practicing anterior vitrectomy techniques, the use of capsular tension...
Sutureless 27-gauge needle intrascleral intraocular lens implantation
The authors report on a prospective, non-comparative, interventional case series of patients undergoing sutureless intrascleral fixation of a posterior chamber three piece intraocular lens (IOL) using a 27-gauge needle for docking. Sutureless techniques have the advantage of not having complex...
