Customised corneal crosslinking with supplemental oxygen
In this prospective interventional case series, the authors investigate using supplemental oxygen delivery during epithelium-on corneal crosslinking (CXL) with specially designed oxygen delivery goggles. Twenty-seven eyes of 24 patients underwent epi-on CXL with Riboflavin and Ultraviolet-A irradiation. At six months...
Early refractive correction promotes esotropia control
This study sought to determine the incidence and characteristics of esotropia in a Northern Ireland population of children <7 years old in a one-year period. The authors report a 2013 cohort in which the area catchment had 29,365 children under...
Thalamic infarcts and the associated neuro-ophthalmic sequelae
The authors present a retrospective review of clinical and imaging data from a stroke database over a 10-year period. Of those identified as having a thalamic infarction (n=342), 40 were found to have neuro-ophthalmic sequelae (11.7%). The neuro-ophthalmic sequelae reported...
5-FU in cicatricial conjunctivitis
This is a retrospective review of 56 patients with cicatricial conjunctivitis, including 25 eyes that received sub-conjunctival injections of 25-50mg of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) as part of their treatment. Thirty-seven patients had ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) and 19 had Stevens-Johnson syndrome...
ROP anti-VEGF treatment review
The purpose of this review was to consider data relating to risks and benefits of the use of anti-VEGF treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) over the past five years of 2015-2020. Ocular benefits include treatment of aggressive posterior ROP,...
