The Global Vision Database
The overall goal of the Global Vision Database (GVD) [1] is to develop and deploy new and improved evidence on the prevalence of blindness and vision impairment (VI) globally. It is a repository which allows us to assess the causes...
Reproductive counselling for females with X-linked inherited retinal diseases
The authors report a survey-based study of 118 female patients who were genetically confirmed carriers or obligate carriers of an X-linked inherited retinal disease. The majority (66.9%) of these patients were carriers of choroideremia; other diagnoses included retinitis pigmentosa, X-linked...Case series of toxic anterior segment syndrome
Herein we report two cases of toxic anterior segment syndrome (TASS) following uneventful cataract surgery. Both patients presented 24 hours after their uneventful operations with painless blurred vision in the operated eye. The inflammatory reaction was controlled successfully with an...The results of the last survey Dec21
Consent is a hot topic at the moment and the publication of the GMC Guidance on Consent [1] has rightfully refocussed our attention on it. Consent practices vary wildly and have been the subject of many of these surveys. Once...Congenital and paediatric cataract: Advances in diagnosis and management
Congenital and paediatric cataracts are relatively rare, although prevalence varies significantly between countries, influenced by factors such as nutrition, immunisation policy and population genetics [1]. In the UK, around 3–4 of every 10,000 babies are born with cataracts. It’s a...Alcon UK and Ireland announces launch of Clareon® PanOptix® Pro

This retrospective study was done to determine the prevalence of IgG4 related orbital disease (IgG4ROD) in patients who previously had biopsies for suspected idiopathic orbital inflammatory disease (IOID) and / or orbital lymphoproliferative disease (OLD). The charts and slides of...
Complement Factor H and Factor H-Like protein are expressed in human RPE cells
The role of inflammation in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is well documented and the association of AMD with the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) and members of the complement system underline the role of complements in AMD. Human complement factor...
A rare case of oculomotor nerve palsy from presumed cavernous angioma
Cavernous angiomas of the cranial nerves are extremely rare, and those of the oculomotor (third) nerve are rarer still. The authors present a single case study of presumed cavernous angioma involving the subarachnoid portion of the left third nerve, which...
Differentiating orbital cellulitis from non-specific orbital inflammation
This is a retrospective study looking at whether common laboratory investigations can help differentiate between orbital cellulitis (OC) and non-specific orbital inflammation (NSOI). NSOI is a diagnosis of exclusion following negative investigations for systemic diseases such as IgG4-related disease, granulomatosis...
Comparison between findings in ‘active’ or ‘healed’ giant cell arteritis
