Association of astigmatism and inferior oblique over action
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between primary inferior oblique over action and astigmatism along the axis on the overacting muscle. The authors explored the postoperative change in axis of astigmatism and cylinder power in a...
Genetic analysis of choroideremia families
Choroideremia (CHM) is a rare X linked recessive chorioretinal dystrophy. Symptoms include nyctalopia and progressive peripheral field loss. Female carriers may have mild symptoms. Choroideremia is known to be caused by a mutation in the CHM gene. A multicentre human...
Treatment for post stroke visual impairment – clinical practice versus literature evidence
The aim of this paper is to compare the treatments reported in a large scale stroke study (Vision in stroke (VIS) Study) against the treatments identified in a full systematic literature review. The purpose was to identify which treatment /...
PROM rating scales
The authors evaluated three commonly used Likert-type rating scales with an aim to determine which scale performed best when administering questions to children with eye disorders, and their parents. Three scales looked at frequency, severity and difficulty. An initial questionnaire...
Normal videonystagmography data
The authors report on the smooth pursuit and saccadic eye movement waveforms elicited from normal patients while viewing standardised calibrated targets. Serial trials were performed on each patient to determine test / retest reliability: nine trials producing 117 results by...
The clinical spectrum of albinism
The authors sought to examine clinical correlates that may be related to foveal development in albinism with an aim to qualitatively describe the phenotype spectrum of albinism. Binocular best corrected visual acuity ranged from 20/20 to 20/80. Best corrected visual...
Topical atorvastatin for dry eye and blepharitis
Dry eye is a very common problem with 20% of the population affected and is frequently associated with blepharitis (DEB), which has an over prevalence of about 40%. The aim of this study was to evaluate a topical atorvastatin formulation...
Cytotoxic effect of voriconazole on human corneal epithelial cells
Voriconazole is a second-generation synthetic derivative of fluconazole with broadened antifungal spectrum. It is becoming the drug of choice for fungal keratitis. Voriconazole eye drops are not available commercially, thus have to be prepared by diluting the intravenous formulation containing...
A case series of acquired esotropia in cerebellar disease
Acquired esotropia in cerebellar disease is well described but under-recognised. The pathogenesis of cerebellar esotropia is controversial. It is suggested it may be a result of disruption to central vestibular pathways. This article reports a case series of seven adults...
Dyslexic reading improved by vergence training
The aim of this study was to evaluate if reading performance could be improved by a period of compensatory vergence training in dyslexic children with otherwise normal binocular vision. The study included 13 children with dyslexia – mean age of...
Influence of overall intraocular lens diameter on rotational stability
It has been shown that approximately one in three patients undergoing cataract surgery have >1.0D corneal astigmatism and managing this during surgery is important to achieve good refractive outcomes. One of the widely used ways of reducing preoperative astigmatism during...
