Ultrasound imaging of the eyes
Since its initial use in the eyes fifty years ago, ultrasound has established itself as a common diagnostic technique in ophthalmology. Sonographers, engineers and clinicians from all around the world have contributed to the development of ocular ultrasonography. As a...
Can the angle of origin of the ophthalmic artery predict embolic trajectory?
A retrospective, comparative case-control study was used to test the hypothesis that a risk factor for retinal versus cerebral infarct is the angular origin of the ophthalmic artery from the internal carotid artery. The study compared one group (n=28) who...Shifting the paradigm of managing patients in medical retina: how real-world data can help us to improve clinical practice
The ophthalmic subspecialty of ‘medical retina’ has undergone dramatic changes in recent years. With the introduction of ranibizumab (Lucentis, Novartis), a specialty formerly dominated by laser-based therapies has been transformed to become, in large part, pharmacotherapy-based. To date, these pharmacotherapies...
Progression of myopic maculopathy after treatment
The authors report on a retrospective study carried out to evaluate long-term progression of myopic maculopathy and functional outcome in eyes treated for myopic choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) and in eyes without CNV. Fifty-four myopic eyes of 30 patients were included...
Retinal ischaemia on OCTA and diabetic retinopathy grade
The authors quite rightly point out that quantification of retinal ischaemia has the potential to serve as a biomarker for diabetic retinopathy disease progression. They set out to investigate the relationship between area of ischaemia on a swept source OCTA...
Silicone oil in rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
Silicone oil (SO), used in complicated retinal detachments, is associated with complications such as cataract, increased intraocular pressure (IOP), keratopathy, cystoid macular oedema (CMO), epiretinal membrane (ERM) and loss of vision. Emulsification of oil can also lead to migration of...
Anatomical and functional outcomes following switching from aflibercept to ranibizumab in NARMD
This is a six-month, prospective, single-arm study in the UK and Germany. A total of 100 patients were enrolled (one in the primary failure group, 99 in the suboptimal treatment response group), treated three-monthly intravitreal ranibizumab injections (0.5mg), and then...
OCT prognostic factors in AMD patients with peripapillary choroidal neovascularisation
In this retrospective study the authors aimed to investigate the correlation between optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings and visual acuity outcomes after treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injections for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients with peripapillary choroidal neovascularisation (PPCNV). Data...From monofocal to premium: Understanding the expanding landscape of intraocular lenses
For many years cataract surgery was framed almost entirely as a restorative procedure. The goal was straightforward: remove the cloudy lens and replace it with a clear one, restoring distance vision and allowing the patient to function comfortably with reading...Systemic sarcoidosis presenting with acute myopia and angle closure
Case report A 40-year-old Asian man presented to the Emergency Department with a one day history of sudden onset visual disturbance in his right eye. He complained of image distortion and noted that objects now appeared smaller. He also described...
Clinical evaluation of a multifocal aspheric diffractive intraocular lens
This is a multi-centre prospective study involving five different centres in Europe including 52 patients with cataract. The average age was 68.5±10.5 years, 35 females were bilateral implanted with aspheric diffractive multifocal lens implantation of the Tecnis 1-Piece multifocal intraocular...
