Type 3 macular neovascularisation (MNV) due to age-related macular degeneration
This paper systematically reviews and summarises the current knowledge on type 3 neovascularisation due to age-related macular degeneration which is defined as neovascularisation originating from the retinal deep capillary plexus that grows towards the outer retina often penetrating the level...
Can diuretics increase the risk of acute angle closure glaucoma?
Diuretics, used widely in the treatment of hypertension, oedema, heart failure and liver failure, have been implicated in case reports in scientific literature to be linked to bilateral acute angle closure glaucoma (AACG). The aim of this study was to...
Verteporfin shortage: treatment options and outcomes in chronic non-resolving central serous chorioretinopathy
Half-dose photodynamic therapy (HD-PDT) with verteporfin has been the therapy of choice in non-resolving central serous chorioretinopathy lasting longer than four months. Since 2021, a worldwide shortage of verteporfin due to manufacturing issues prompted adjustments in treatment practices. This retrospective,...
Risks of advanced ROP development in unscreened babies
The authors report a retrospective study of the prevalence of infants with stage 4b and 5 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) who were never screened and the importance of screening guidelines. The study was conducted in a tertiary eye hospital in...
Primary visual pathway changes in individuals with chronic mild traumatic brain injury
Patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) often self-report vision disturbance despite showing no reduction of visual acuity or fundus examination abnormality. This prospective, observational, cross-sectional study aimed to determine if using a sweeping array of investigations can help diagnose...
Macular characteristics in unilateral idiopathic FTMH and fellow eyes
This retrospective observational study, conducted at a single site, aimed to compare characteristics of the macular structure and foveal pit in unilateral full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) and healthy fellow eyes. Full-thickness macular holes were further classified into three categories: (1)...
EDOF intraocular lens in eyes with preexisting retinal disease
Extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) offers improved near and intermediate vision, aiming to reduce spectacle dependence in cataract patients. This study aims to evaluate the performance of EDOF lenses following cataract surgery in patients with retinal pathology....
Scleral fixation using Gore-Tex suture of a subluxated PCIOL
This was a retrospective single-centre study of patients who underwent lasso in-the-bag scleral fixation of a subluxated posterior chamber (PC) intraocular lens (IOL) using the snare technique with Gore-Tex suture from 2019 to 2021. Functional outcome was analysed by clinical...
Results of vitrectomy in epiretinal membranes secondary to retinal vein occlusions
This retrospective, observational multicentre study investigated the anatomic and functional results of vitrectomy associated with the peeling of secondary epiretinal membranes (ERM) in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and determined the prognostic factors of surgical outcomes. Data was collected...
