EYE - Cornea
The human retina is unique in the central nervous system (CNS) in that it can be directly visualised non-invasively. Technological advances of several imaging modalities, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), multichannel scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) and fundus photography, have afforded...
Management of restrictive diplopia after ptergium surgery
This single centre retrospective case series included 15 patients with restrictive diplopia after ptergium excision. The mean time from surgery to diplopia was six months and all patients had a moderate limitation of abduction in the operated eye causing an...Management of squint with near-distance angle disparity
These are a group of strabismus disorders where the angle of misalignment is different between near and distance. The focus of this article will be on the patients where the angle for near exceeds the distance angle by more than...
Amblyopia treatment review
This review paper summarises the main causes and neural mechanisms that characterise amblyopia. The authors analysed neuroanatomical, neurophysiological and electrophysiological studies in the literature to better understand actual treatment regimens and evaluate new therapeutic possibilities. They considered causes of strabismus,...
IO belly transposition surgery
The authors evaluated inferior oblique (IO) muscle belly transposition to correct mild to moderate IO overaction with small primary position hypertropia. They reviewed 10 patients aged 6-35 years (mean 18.6 years). Aetiologies were mild unilateral superior oblique (SO) palsy for...
IO overaction surgery
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two surgical methods on the correction of inferior oblique overaction (IOOA). This was a retrospective study of 99 eyes of 56 patients; 47 myectomy and 52 anterior transposition procedures. Mean age was...

Uncorrected refractive error was the leading cause of vision impairment in the world in 2010. Although refractive error may be safely and effectively corrected with spectacles, lack of well-trained refractionists in settings of limited resources may be a major barrier....

Course Director: Milind Pande Faculty: Ashraf Armia, Laura Maubon, Mayank Nanavaty, Course Overview: Embark on a transformative journey through this dynamic course, tailored to empower ophthalmologists and cataract surgeons with the expertise needed to master astigmatism management in cataract surgery....
Amblyopia treatment
This study was conducted to assess practice preferences in the management of amblyopia among paediatric ophthalmologists. A close-ended multiple choice questionnaire consisting of 10 questions was circulated to 113 paediatric ophthalmologists and fellows of which 74 completed the questionnaire. Seventy-six...
General population perceptions of severity of strabismus vs. angle of deviation and gender
The authors investigate whether the potential bias of gender, type of deviation, or size of deviation affected how strabismus was perceived among a general adult population. Eight photos were generated (head shots) of white people aged 25–30 years – purposive...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, LCD tablet, high-contrast visual acuity, low-contrast visual acuity, pinhole
Dysfunction of the afferent visual system, characterised by impairments in high-contrast visual acuity (HCVA) and low-contrast visual acuity (LCVA) have been demonstrated in some neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. HCVA and LCVA are also potential quantitative...
