Optic nerve head perfusion response to reduced blood pressure and increased intraocular pressure
The purpose of this prospective study was to test the hypothesis that blood flow autoregulation in the optic nerve head has less reserve to maintain normal blood flow where there is a blood pressure induced decrease in ocular perfusion pressure...
Meibomian gland alteration in patients with primary chronic dacryocystitis: An in vivo confocal microscopy study
Chronic dacryocystitis affects tear film functionality and can predispose to ocular surface disease, however the specific effect of chronic dacryocystitis on meibomian gland function has not been studied. This group therefore performed in vivo confocal microscopy in 28 patients’ eyes...
Normative data using a virtual reality game-based visual field test
The authors present a prospective cross-sectional study involving healthy children to assess the use of a virtual reality game-based perimetry assessment. A single eye centre recruited through paediatric optometry and ophthalmology clinics over a 12-month period. Children aged <18 years...
Comparison of two visual acuity test versions for different distances in a paediatric population
The authors present the findings of a study which aimed to determine whether using 2 metre and 4 metre retro-illuminated ETDRS charts are comparable in children. Order of testing was standardised (right eye, left eye, binocular), however different charts were...Thomas Truckenbrod awarded for his outstanding contribution to the optical profession

Using MRI to assess normal variation in optic chiasm anatomy
The authors present an MRI study including 61 MRI scans using a 1.5 T with slice thickness of 1 or 5mm and the sequence showing the highest resolution of the chiasm. A predetermined set of measurements were taken in a...
Surgical success rates in abducens palsy management
The aim of the study was to identify factors associated with surgical outcomes in isolated abducens palsy. To achieve this goal the authors reviewed the records of adult patients with abducens palsy who underwent strabismus procedures during a fourteen year...
Results of single muscle advancement surgery
The aim of this study was to determine quantitatively the efficacy of medial and lateral rectus muscle advancement in consecutive exotropia and esotropia. The authors analysed the relationship between the change in muscle position and the change in visual angle...
Transsynaptic retrograde degeneration linked to homonymous visual field loss after stroke
centre, of individuals identified with homonymous visual field loss post ischaemic stroke. Exclusion criteria were bilateral ischaemia, anterior / pregeniculate visual pathway affected and other pathology with the potential to effect visual fields. The following were extracted from the medical...
