Clinical characteristics and outcomes of open globe injury
This retrospective cohort study examined consecutive open globe injuries at a tertiary referral centre over a three year period. The aim of the study was to detail the clinical characteristics of open globe injuries and to explore their association with...
Management of diffuse OSSN with topical chemotherapy
Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) can be localised to the conjunctiva or, less commonly, diffusely spread over the conjunctiva and cornea. Localised OSSN can be treated by surgical removal with adjuvant cryotherapy and chemotherapy with low rates of recurrence. Diffuse...
Unique case of steroid-induced intraocular pressure spike causing NAION
The literature describes previous cases of nonarteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) following rapid rises in intraocular pressure (IOP) leading to reduced optic nerve head perfusion and disruption. This is commonly following ophthalmic procedures, acute glaucoma or steroid eye drops....The invisible touch: a VISION 2020 LINK with Indonesia
Indonesia’s population, the world’s fourth largest, is spread across 6,000 inhabited islands. Whilst some areas (e.g. Kalimantan, Papua) are relatively sparsely populated, Java is the world’s most densely populated island, with twice the population of the UK in half the...SOS (Simplified Ophthalmic Statistics) Part 3: Which statistical test should I use (if any)?
P<0.05 is a statement that brings joy to many researchers. Arguably this is because inclusion of such a statement may increase the chance of acceptance for publication. Whilst statisticians and non-statisticians are united in trying to change this culture, cultural...
Orbital abscess following posterior subtenon steroid injection
The authors report a case of orbital cellulitis following posterior subtenon injection of triamcinolone acetonide. A 57-year-old male patient with a background of complicated cataract surgery underwent vitrectomy with explantation of dislocated intraocular lens and insertion of anterior chamber lens....
Strabismus and scleral buckling
The authors examine the incidence of strabismus following scleral buckle for retinal detachment surgery and the factors that influence the strabismus, its incidence, preventative measures and treatment options. This was a retrospective review of 344 patients (360 eyes) with a...
Analysis of needle site after intravitreal injection for retinoblastoma
This study analysed the needle washings from retinoblastoma (RB) eyes receiving intravitreal Melphalon to consider risk of tumour externalisation from the procedure – 280 injections to 63 eyes in 61 patients were evaluated. Unilateral RB was present in 24 patients...
Does cornea cross-linkage reduce the rate of corneal transplants in keratoconus?
Cornea cross-linking (CXL) is a relatively new treatment in the management of keratoconus, which may help prevent the need for corneal transplant. This paper investigates if the introduction of corneal cross-linkage has reduced the number of corneal transplants performed annually...
Spontaneous resolution of inferior oblique over action
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the course of over-elevation in adduction in patients who had surgery for esotropia. Following a chart review, 28 patients met the inclusion criteria with a mean age of 53.5±53.7 months (12-252 months)....
