Bleb-related changes in upper lid position
This is a review of five patients with upper lid ptosis or lid retraction secondary to large filtering blebs post-trabeculectomy. The authors review each case and apply a model to analyse the separate forces acting on the upper lid to...Ultra-widefield imaging in glaucoma: Documenting hypotony-related choroidal effusions after microshunt surgery
Ultra-widefield (UWF) imaging provides extended visualisation of the posterior segment beyond the traditional 30–50° field of view. It captures a broad view of the posterior pole and periphery in a single, quick, non-mydriatic acquisition. While its role in diabetic retinopathy...The results of the last survey Oct21
This edition’s survey questions moved away from the deep and ethically charged questions of the recent surveys and focussed on simple and straightforward issues. This is really where the surveys began in exploring the minor practice variations which we have...
Cyclo spray vs. drops
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether cyclo spray is better tolerated than cyclo drops and to assess the adequacy of cycloplegia achieved by spray for objective refraction. Cyclo drops were given to 72 children and cyclo spray...
Anything new in the control of myopia progression?
This is a review article looking at up to date concepts and evidence in myopia control from current literature and studies. The authors identified that myopia control is best measured in absolute change in axial length as opposed to refraction...
Clinicopathologic factors and survival in patients with sebaceous carcinoma of eyelid
This is a population-based analysis performed to evaluate the prognostic factors and survival of patients with sebaceous carcinoma of the eyelid. Patients with eyelid sebaceous carcinoma from 1973-2013 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database and...
Confocal microscopy and corneal graft rejection
Forty-five patients following penetrating keratoplasty (PK) were examined with the HRT III Rostock Cornea Module confocal microscope at various points after their surgery for two years. Activated keratocytes (AKs) were counted manually and their mean number evaluated. A pattern was...
Efficacy of intravitreal dexamethasone implant in patients with persistent macular oedema
Chronic cystoid macular oedema (CME) can develop secondary to various pathologies such as diabetic maculopathy, retinal vein occlusion and uveitis. It can cause significant visual impairment and macular damage. The therapeutic effect of corticosteroids in CME is through one or...
Risk calculation variability over time in OHT
In this study the authors aimed to assess the variability of the well documented risk model from the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS) that identified higher intraocular pressure (IOP), older age, lower central corneal thickness (CCT), greater vertical cup-to-disc ratio...Flashes and floaters in community optometry – diagnosing a posterior vitreous detachment
Managing patients who attend a practice with symptoms of flashes and floaters is a regular occurrence in community optometric practice. It’s often very distressing for patients; symptoms can be quite dramatic and an internet search can indicate imminent blindness from...
