Amblyopia OCT results

The authors compared the macular and peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thicknesses of amblyopic and fellow eyes using Stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT) to reveal any differences. They sought to determine the anatomical differences between these subtypes of strabismic...

Space age surgery

I asked to do theatre lists at Moorfields as part of my timetable. The medical retina fellow jobs are a bit odd in that the vast majority of the different rotations lack a regular theatre session. This might suit some...

Quantum imaging research could improve retinal scans

New EU-funded feasibility project is testing a quantum approach that could reveal finer detail in the eye than ever before. A European research consortium is exploring a new quantum imaging technique that could one day help clinicians see the earliest...

The results of the last survey Oct 2019

Another fascinating response which once more highlights the massive variation in practice. I completely acknowledge that ophthalmology is an art as well as a science and therefore there will be variances in practice and there will not be one ‘right’...

The Retinal Atlas (2nd Edition)

Those readers familiar with the first edition of The Retinal Atlas will appreciate the comprehensive nature of this publication, and this latest version incorporates retinal images generated by recently developed imaging technology. As the title suggests, this hardcover version is...

Retinal Vein Occlusions: Evidence-based Management

This reference book is designed to enable an ophthalmologist to make diagnostic and treatment decisions on the basis of the available scientific evidence. This is a very comprehensive book covering all aspects of central retinal vein occlusions including basics, clinical...

Injection of methotrexate into silicone oil-filled eyes for grade C PVR

Methotrexate (MTX) is an antineoplastic antimetabolite with immunosuppressant properties. Folate antagonism is known to contribute to the antiproliferative effects of MTX, and release of adenosine from cells and inhibition of polyamines may explain its anti-inflammatory effects. These activities contribute to...

Does paediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) obey Lincoff’s rule (LR)?

This was a retrospective study where 98 paediatric patients with RRD were identified through surgery records. Forty case sheets with complete record of ocular examination and surgical findings were analysed. Visible or suspected preoperative retinal break identified using the LR...

Changes, with increasing age of children, in optic nerve head parameters and retinal thickness

In this study, the authors aimed to compare stereometric parameters of the optic disc and inner retinal layer thickness (peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (pRNFL) and ganglion cell inner plexiform layer (GCIPL)) at two time points in the same children...

Pioneering eye device restores reading vision to blind eyes

A pivotal European clinical trial of a new electronic eye implant has seen remarkable results. The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, showed 84% of participants were able to read letters, numbers and words using prosthetic vision...
