Childhood glaucoma outcomes and prognosis
This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between clinical characteristics and visual acuity in childhood glaucoma. The study included 45 eyes of 31 patients; 33.3% with primary childhood glaucoma and 66.7% with secondary glaucoma; 53.4% of secondary cases had glaucoma...
Visual retraining for homonymous hemianopia following stroke
This is a clinical trial evaluating the efficacy of motion discrimination training as a potential therapy for stroke-induced hemianopic visual field defects involving 48 patients. They were randomised into two arms, one intervention (deficit-field) and one control (sighted-field). Patients were...
Comparison of two visual acuity test versions for different distances in a paediatric population
The authors present the findings of a study which aimed to determine whether using 2 metre and 4 metre retro-illuminated ETDRS charts are comparable in children. Order of testing was standardised (right eye, left eye, binocular), however different charts were...
A retrospective medical notes review in patients with poor vision due to NAION
Very severe visual loss (hand movements or less) is typical of arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AION) and relatively rare in non-arteritic AION (NAION). This study aimed to report the frequency of very poor visual acuity (VA) in NAION. The...
Incidence and outcomes of endophthalmitis with in-house compounded intravitreal bevacizumab injections
This multicentre study examining a five-year period from 2014 to 2018 evaluated the incidence rate and outcomes of endophthalmitis after intravitreal injection of in-house compounded bevacizumab. In-house compounded syringes were prepared in compounding pharmacy using sterile standard operating guidelines. All...
Transient visual loss caused by crowded optic discs
The author presents four cases of transient visual loss (TVL) in young females (age range at presentation 14-22 years) with crowded optic discs. Patient demographics, investigations, medical and social histories are provided for all patients. A review of evidence for...
Visual acuity conversion to digital acuity
The author proposes a basic set of evidence-based digital acuities for alpha vision to facilitate formatting of visual acuity data uniformly. This work was informed by a review of the literature. A full table provides US and international classification of...
Surgery technique for subluxation in Marfan syndrome
The authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of bimanual capsulorrhexis combined with sutureless scleral-fixated IOL implant in children with Marfan syndrome. Seven children (14 eyes) with subluxated lenses underwent bilateral surgery; four female, three male with mean age of 7.1...
Chorioretinal atrophy in punctate inner choroidopathy / multifocal choroiditis
This study reported the five-year outcomes of chorioretinal atrophy (CRA) progression in patients with punctate inner choroidopathy (PIC) or multifocal choroiditis (MFC) in 45 eyes of 36 patients. The mean age of the cohort of patients was 37 ±13.37 years...
Environmental variations in endophthalmitis
In this retrospective cohort study, the authors looked at seasonal and environmental variations in 171 endophthalmitis cases out of 423,297 intravitreal injections. The incidence of this complication was not correlated to monthly snowfall, rainfall, or average temperature. There was no...
Outcomes for IRS implantation for keratoconus
The authors report visual and topographic outcomes of intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation alone or in combination with corneal cross linking (CXL) and long-term results in halting keratoconus in paediatric patients. This study was a retrospective design including 19 patients...
