Somatostatin protects retinal pericytes
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes, caused by high blood sugar levels damaging the retinal microvasculature. Mechanisms, such as oxidative stress and deposition of advanced glycation end products, leads to glial cell activation and neuronal apoptosis. Pericytes, contractile...
A case presentation of morning glory disc anomaly and peripapillary staphyloma
The purpose of this paper is to present a case of an 18-month-old girl initially presenting with strabismus. Fixation of the affected eye was intermittent with a relative afferent pupillary defect. A fundus photography of the affected left eye showed...
Comparison of bupivacaine injection vs. mini-tenotomy for small angle deviations
Bupivacaine hydrochloride is an aminoacyltype local anaesthetic. Injection into extraocular muscles elicits a myotoxic response destroying striated muscle fibres but sparing satellite cells, nerves and vessels. Preserved satellite cells proliferate to form new muscle fibres, causing muscle hypertrophy and greater...
Understanding optic nerve head pericytes and glaucoma
The authors provide a comprehensive review of the current understanding of pericytes in the optic nerve head (ONH). Key points include: (1) Pericytes are contractile mural cells that play crucial roles in regulating blood flow, maintaining the blood-brain / blood-retinal...Lothian Optometry Teach and Treat Clinic

Over a third of Britons haven’t had an eye test within the last two years, while one in five have not had an eye test due to financial struggles.Forward-tilt technique for intraocular pressure measurement in upgaze
The authors suggest a technique to improve the accuracy of measuring IOP in upgaze using Goldmann applanation tonometry. Graves’ ophthalmopathy, also known as thyroid eye disease, is an autoimmune inflammatory condition affecting the orbit and periorbital tissues [1]. It was...BIOS: Clinical Tutor Course
