Meta-analysis of HLA B27 associated acute anterior uveitis
A literature-based meta-analysis was carried out to look at the various clinical features associated with HLA- B27 acute anterior uveitis (AAU). After an extensive search of literature for HLA B27 uveitis was conducted, 735 results were obtained. Twenty-nine articles were...
Oral glycerol effect on anterior chamber depth during cataract surgery
The authors present the findings of a controlled clinical trial where cataract patients having surgery for both eyes at least seven days apart were given oral glycerol preoperatively when operating on the right eye. This meant that the left eye...
Anterior and posterior capsular opacification with the Tecnis ZCBOO and AcrySof SA60AT IOL
This a randomised, controlled, prospective and double-blind study comparing the anterior capsular opacification (ACO) and posterior capsular opacification (PCO) outcomes with two types of single-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOL), and AcrySof SA60AT – Group A, and Tecnis ZCBOO –...
Impact on the corneal and anterior chamber characteristics after femtosecond laser cataract surgery
Femtosecond laser cataract surgery (FLACS) is being increasingly used in the preparation for cataract surgery. Benefits of circular capsulorrhexis and reduced phacoemulsification energy have been shown in the literature. This study was designed to assess the anterior chamber characteristics and...Like a moth to AC flare: CMV-associated hypertensive anterior uveitis
Hypertensive anterior uveitis can present a diagnostic challenge to clinicians working in emergency eye departments. While prompt initial control of intraocular pressure (IOP) and inflammation is essential, elucidating the underlying aetiology is critical for long-term visual outcomes. When there is...An unusual case of silicone oil in the anterior chamber simulating intraocular implant
Silicone oil internal tamponade has been used for over 50 years, even prior to pars plana vitrectomy [1].Over a course of time silicone oil may migrate to the anterior chamber through the pupil. This may disperse in the form of...
Choroidal and macular thickness in nonarteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy
This study evaluates the choroidal and macular thickness in patients with chronic nonarteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NA-AION). Two groups of subjects were compared, group one included 20 eyes with chronic NA-AION and group two, 31 healthy control eyes. The...
Investigation of blood platelet parameters in anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy
The aim of this clinical retrospective comparative study was to assess the possible relationship between arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AAION) and non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) with blood platelet parameters and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). The medical records of...
Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy in the Asian population
This article provides an evaluation of changes in visual function associated with non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) among Korean patients. Visual changes were identified as a reduction in visual acuity by three Snellen lines or a deterioration of visual...
Management of traumatic corneal perforations with anterior lamellar techniques: The mini-DSAEK
The authors present the first case report in which a mini (reduced diameter) Descemet’s stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (mini-DSAEK) has been used to manage a traumatic corneal perforation. A 69-year-old male presented with 6/36 best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) and...
A novel way to distinguish between types of anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy
The authors evaluate the monocyte to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (MHR) in patients with arteritic and non arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (A-AION / NA-AION). A distinction between the two types of AION is essential to begin appropriate treatment, which...
