SOS (Simplified Ophthalmic Statistics) Part 4: How to present your statistical analysis
This is the last in this series of short guides which we hope provide some guidance in relation to statistical issues researchers may encounter when conducting research, audit or indeed quality improvement projects. Here we focus on an issue that...VISION 2020 LINKS: COECSA Fellowship examination goes from strength to strength
Eye health problems and access to diagnosis and treatment is an important issue throughout low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), and particularly on the African continent, where quality of life is drastically affected by poor vision, blindness and deteriorating eye health,...Eye scans detect signs of Parkinson’s disease up to seven years before diagnosis
A team led by Siegfried Wagner and Pearse Keane of Moorfields Eye Hospital and UCL Institute of Ophthalmology (and spanning UCL institutions) has identified markers that indicate the presence of Parkinson’s disease in patients on average seven years before clinical presentation.
Risk of developing pseudotumor cerebri in women using a levonorgesteral intrauterine device
Pseudotumor cerebri (PCT) is a disorder causing increased intracranial pressure without a mass lesion, usually seen in obese women of childbearing age. Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is an idiopathic form of the disorder, but several medications have been associated with the...
Outcomes of cataract surgery in eyes with weak zonules
Pseudoexfoliation (PEX) and zonular weakness have long been known to increase the risk of complication of cataract surgery. This retrospective study looks at the results of phacoemulsion and intraocular implantation in 295 eyes with pseudoexfoliation and zonular weakness, with a...
Conjunctivochalasis and aqueous tear deficiency – which one causes symptoms?
This review sought to determine whether conjunctivochalasis (CCh) obliterates the fornix tear reservoir and thus mimics aqueous tear deficiency (ATD). Patients were divided into two groups, with aqueous tear deficiency (CCh +ATD) or without (CCh –ATD), based on results of...
Differential diagnosis in cases of suspected neuroretinitis
Neuroretinitis is a form of optic neuropathy typically characterised by acute unilateral visual loss with optic disc oedema and macular exudates arranged in a star figure around the fovea (complete or partial star). The purpose of this study was to...
Trochleitis features
The authors evaluate the epidemiology, clinical signs, treatment and outcomes of trochleitis in a retrospective review of 59 cases. Estimated prevalence was 12 per 100,000. Eighty-six percent were female and mean age was 43±18 years. All but one case was...
Positive diagnosis of acute posterior ischaemic optic nerve neuropathy
Posterior ischaemic optic neuropathy is a rare cause of visual loss believed to be due to infarction in the territory of the pial branches of the ophthalmic artery. There is an absence of clinical signs which means the diagnosis is...
Review of paediatric infectious endophthalmitis
This paper presents a review on paediatric infectious endophthalmitis and considers aetiology, prognosis and management. Classification included exogenous and endogenous.
