Mitomycin C versus 5-FU as an adjunctive treatment for trabeculectomy
Antifibrotic agents are used during trabeculectomy (TRAB) to improve long-term surgical success by reducing fibrosis of subconjunctival and episcleral tissue. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to directly compare the efficacy and safety of the two most frequently used antifibrotic...
Combined anti-VEGF and PDT for wet AMD
The authors report on a retrospective case series of combined anti-VEGF and photodynamic therapy (PDT) in the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) refractory to anti-VEGF monotherapy alone. The criteria for treatment failure of anti-VEGF monotherapy were persistent subretinal...
Four year outcomes of macular degeneration treated with ranibizumab
The authors report on a retrospective study of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients treated with a variable ranibizumab dosing regimen over a period of four years (from January 2007 to December 2011). A total of 600 treatment naïve eyes...
Cataract surgery in patients with retinitis pigmentosa
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the commonest inherited cause of retinal degeneration. Posterior subcapsular cataract (PSC) develops in 41% to 90% of these patients by age 40 years. In this retrospective study, the authors have evaluated surgical outcomes in patients with...
Ocular lubrication versus bandage contact lens in recurrent erosion syndrome (RES)
Twenty-nine patients (eight traumatic, five epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, two idiopathic) were randomised using SPSS to either ocular lubricants or bandage contact lenses (BCLs). Only patients previously treated with ocular lubricants were included. Patients with previous surgery, laser treatment, dry...
Association between serum triglycerides and pan retinal photocoagulation in type 1 diabetes
This retrospective cohort study aimed to examine whether dyslipidaemia is a risk factor for progressing to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and consequently requiring pan retinal photocoagulation (PRP) treatment in type 1 diabetics. In previous studies including the ETDRS study an...
Disc margin delineation using spectral domain OCT
Observing progressive anatomical changes of the optic nerve head is essential in the detection of progression in glaucoma. Imaging devices continue to evolve and are useful in detecting change in established glaucoma, although probably less useful in an initial diagnosis....
Swept-source OCT for measuring peripheral anterior synechiae
The authors report on a cross-sectional study looking at swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for measuring the area and degree of peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS) in patients with angle closure glaucoma. The SS-OCT is commercially available, has a laser wavelength...
Moxifloxacin 0.5% for bacterial keratitis
The authors report on the results of a randomised controlled trial comparing commercially available non-preserved moxifloxacin 0.5% vs. a combination of fortified cefazolin 5% and tobramycin 1.3% in the treatment of moderate bacterial keratitis without perforation. Corneal scrapings were collected...
Long-term results of cross-linking treatment for keratoconus
The authors report on the long-term outcomes in a prospective case series of patients with keratoconus undergoing corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) treatment. Thirty-two patients (40 eyes; mean age 22.5+/-5.5 years) with Grade I, II and III progressive keratoconus were recruited...
Comparison of SIA from femtosecond laser and manual CCIs for cataract surgery
This study group compared the differences in surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) vector, flattening effect, torque and wound architecture following both femtosecond laser and manual clear corneal incisions (CCIs). A double-armed, randomised, prospective case series was conducted. Cataract surgery was performed...
