My name is Rosalyn Painter and I work within the vision science and ophthalmic imaging team at Bristol Eye Hospital, where we cover all aspects of imaging within the hospital, including fluorescein angiograms, fundus photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), slit-lamp...Corneal hysteresis: An emerging biomarker in the management of glaucoma
Corneal hysteresis (CH) is gaining recognition as a valuable parameter in the management of glaucoma. Corneal hysteresis is defined as the difference between the inward and outward pressure responses of the cornea during deformation. This measurement reflects the viscoelastic properties...
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...
Effect of intravenous mannitol in post vitrectomised eyes
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of intravenous mannitol 20% on intraocular pressure in vitrectomised silicone-oil filled eyes. A prospective analysis of consecutive patients was undertaken with their fellow eyes taken as controls. Thirty-one patients were...
OVD influences
This prospective case series provides data on a previously uninvestigated area. Eyes due to have routine phakoemulsification were divided into six groups according to ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) type. After cataract extraction aphasic refraction using intraoperative aberrometry with the ocular...
Control of bleeding with diabetic vitrectomy under air
The authors describe a modified diabetic vitrectomy using continuous air infusion in diabetic eyes with severe fibrovascular proliferation. In their case series of 25 eyes (20 patients), intravitreal bevacizumab (1.25mg) was used one week prior to surgery. Fifteen eyes had...
New grading description for ROP retinal changes for those meeting termination of vision screening guidelines
This study reports and characterises residual retinal changes seen in eyes that meet criteria for termination of acute retinal screening exams. A novel grading system was used in which retinal exams were graded A to E. ‘A’ was defined as...
Risk factors and prognosis of paediatric open globe injuries
This retrospective, comparative, interventional case-control study was aimed to investigate possible risk factors and prognosis of initial no light perception (NLP) in paediatric open globe injuries (POGI). A total of 851 cases were reviewed, including 837 unilateral cases and 14...
Does paediatric uveitis reactivate after treatment with anti-TNF-a drugs?
As a potentially blinding disease that can affect 7-27/100000 children, uveitis remains a rare condition, where little evidence based data is available to guide management decisions. Most paediatric uveitis cases are chronic, anterior and non-infectious and may be associated with...OSA regulatory advice baton moves to new expert
The OSA’s regulatory advice service – a key element of membership for many optical businesses – is moving to safe new hands as Ann Blackmore retires after six years at the helm. Ann’s extensive knowledge of the optical landscape, both...
