Cataract extraction and microperimetry
In this study, the authors assessed retinal sensitivity before and after cataract extraction, in an effort to understand how lens opacities may affect microperimetry results in glaucoma and macular diseases. Thirty patients awaiting cataract extraction were examined and their lens...
Cataract progression after Nd-YAG laser iridotomy in primary angle-closure suspect eyes
A total of 889 of eligible bilateral primary angle-closure suspect (PACS) patients were recruited from the Zhongshan Angle Closure Prevention Trial. One randomly selected eye received laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI), while the fellow remained untreated. Cataract was graded by the...
Rate and predisposing factors for post-vitrectomy cataract formation in children
This study was a retrospective analysis of post-vitrectomy cataract formation in the general paediatric population. The authors aimed to determine the number of phakic children needing cataract surgery after vitrectomy surgery and related perioperative factors. The study was a 10-year...
Impact of solar eclipses on vision
Solar retinopathy occurs as a result of mechanical and photochemical damage to the retina caused by exposure to excessive light. The authors presented the optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT-angiography findings of five patients who looked at the solar eclipse...
Association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and age-related cataracts
Cataractogenesis occurs as a result of ageing, smoking, exposure to UV radiation and genetic predisposition. Antioxidants can reduce the cataract risk as found in animal models and humans and vitamin D is one of them. This epidemiological study based in...
Imaging and histological relationship of orbital Schwannomas
This is a retrospective review of 15 patients with orbital Schwannomas comparing the radiological characteristics, in particular the signal intensity on MRI, with the histological sub-types of the tumours. Five patients had MRI imaging alone, three had CT alone and...
Inner nuclear layer of the retina showing increase in thickness in diabetic macular oedema
Diabetic retinopathy is one of the leading causes of blindness in the developed world. With optical coherence tomography (OCT), it has become possible to image the retina in vivo and to measure retinal oedema by measuring retinal thickness (RT) with...
Comparing retinal thickness in Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and healthy controls
This study aimed to compare retinal findings in chronic essential tremor (ET), early Parkinson’s disease (PD) and healthy controls. Those recruited with ET had to have received a diagnosis a minimum of three years previous and those with PD had...Acute uveitis from late migration of soft lens matter 10 years post cataract surgery
A 58-year-old Caucasian male presented to the emergency eye clinic with a two-day history of a painful, red left eye and blurred vision. His past ocular history included uncomplicated left phacoemulsification cataract surgery in 2010 and left retinal detachment repair...Ocular manifestations of multiple sclerosis: an overview
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS), in which there is dissemination of lesions in time (two or more clinical events) and space (multiple lesions seen on brain and spinal imaging). The pathophysiology...
Retinal morphology after PASCAL PRP treatment
The authors of this prospective cohort study set out to report the changes on Spectral Domain-OCT of PASCAL panretinal laser photocoagulation (PRP) treatment for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) or severe nonproliferative DR (NPDR) and the retinal morphology, from one hour...
