Optic disc haemorrhages as a risk factor for poor outcomes in IIH
This is a report of a review of optic disc photographs, of the type and frequency of the optic disc haemorrhages (ODH), papilloedema grades and other fundoscopic abnormalities at baseline. In the study eyes of 133 patients enrolled in the...
Effects of blood donation on the physiology of the eye
Hypovolaemia is a state of decreased blood volume, the reduction of which reduces tissue perfusion which may in turn lead to cellular hypoxia and end-organ damage. In blood donation, 500ml of blood is collected in ten minutes. This equates to...RCOphth Annual Congress - Day 3

Endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis (EBE) is a form of severe inflammation caused by haematogenous spread of a virulent bacterium from a nidus elsewhere in the body to intraocular tissues. It is a rare occurrence and only constitutes around 2–8% of all...
Exposure to atomic bomb radiation and age-related macular degeneration in later life
This paper is one of the outcomes of the Adult Health Study; a cohort study of the atomic bomb survivors of Hiroshima-Nagasaki in Japan. It investigates the proposed association between pasty radiation exposure early in life and the presence of...
Retinal blood flow changes in glaucoma
This study examined the changes in retinal blood flow and vessel diameter after IOP reduction in high- and low-pressure glaucoma; exfoliation glaucoma (ExG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). Glaucoma progression is seen at times in eyes despite IOP reduction and changes...
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...An environmentally friendly eye service
A single cataract procedure in the UK has been estimated to have a carbon footprint equivalent to driving a typical non-electric car for 310 miles. Surprisingly, very few centres around the world have worked out the environmental cost of cataract...The science of glaucoma management: highlights of the 2020 Moorfields International Glaucoma Symposium
Held earlier this year, the 12th annual Moorfields International Glaucoma Symposium provided a forum for advanced clinical and scientific exchange in glaucoma management. The authors describe the key presentation themes and debates, highlighting specific topics of interest to glaucoma specialists....All eyes on the future symposium hailed a great success
Leading providers in the eye healthcare sector, Optegra Eye Health Care and ZEISS, have successfully hosted their annual CPD-accredited symposium, ‘All Eyes on the Future’, bringing together experts from across the ophthalmic sector. The symposium welcomed 90 attendees, including optometrists,...
