The pathophysiology...Bionic eyes: deciphering the neural circuitry of vision restoration
As the boundaries between technology and biology blur, retinal prosthetics, often dubbed ‘bionic eyes’, present a ground-breaking paradigm shift in addressing blindness. This article delves into the captivating scientific intricacies of these neural interfaces, exploring their mechanisms of action, current...A personal reflection: working at the International Centre for Eye Health from 2006–2024
I feel incredibly fortunate to have been working part-time at the International Centre for Eye Health (ICEH) [1] since 2006. Earlier in my career, the responsibilities of work and a growing family made this merely an aspiration, and apart from...
Scheimpflug images and graft rejection
This study aimed to assess corneal changes using 360-degree Scheimpflug images and pachymetry readings to outline screening parameters, which define graft rejection. Seventeen eyes of 16 patients developed clinically manifest allograft rejection two to 42 months after surgery – those...
Sclerotomy suturing
This was a retrospective review of 589 consecutive cases of patients who underwent 23-gauge tranconjunctival pars plana vitrectomy. Cases were split into Type 1 vitrectomies (macular hole, ERM and simple vitreous haemorrhages) and Type 2 cases which were more complex...
