A novel way to diagnose optic neuropathies using Bruch’s membrane opening

Differential diagnosis of optic neuropathies can be challenging but is crucial for the correct management of the underlying disease and prevention of further damage. Bruch’s membrane opening (BMO) was recently discovered as the anatomical border of the optic disc. BMO...

Investigating the effect of signal strength on mean retinal nerve fibre layer

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of signal strength on mean retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) using spectralis optical coherence tomography (S-OCT). Thirty normal subjects were imaged with S-OCT using variably dense Bangerter foils to alter...

OCT angiography findings in amblyopic eyes

In this study, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was used to detect the existence of any vascular dysfunction in superficial and deep retinal layers that accompany visual impairment in amblyopic eyes compared to fellow and control eyes. The study included...

Measurement considerations in OCT results with suspected glaucoma

The purpose of this study was to determine retinal nerve fibre (RNFL) thickness parameters and assess the relationship between the cup-to-disc (CD) ratio and RNFL measurements of paediatric patients who had optic nerve appearance suspicious for glaucoma based on enlarged...

Ocular toxoplasmosis

This is a retrospective study of 106 patients between March 2011 and June 2018, of 37 IgM + group and 69 IgM - group of patients. The clinical features, demographics of patients with ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) were studied according to...

Uveitis ocular toxoplasmosis

This is a retrospective study of 106 patients between March 2011 and June 2018, of 37 IgM +group and 69 IgM - group of patients. The clinical features, demographics of patients with ocular toxoplasmosis (OT) were studied according to the...

Using optical coherence tomography angiography to detect MoyaMoya vasculopathy

Moyamoya (MM) disease is a chronic cerebrovascular disease that can lead to progressive stenosis of the terminal portions of the internal carotid arteries and their proximal branches. The authors carried out a cross-sectional cohort study to investigate vascular changes in...

Care journeys of patients with central retinal artery occlusion

The authors present a retrospective case note review of all adult patients referred for or diagnosed with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) to a single tertiary hospital over a 10½ year period. A total of 181 patients were included in...

Eye disorders occurring in congenital CMV

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and ophthalmological disorders that occur in children and record the frequency and type of eye disorders that occur from the infection. Of 449 potential studies,...

Does methanol poisoning require ophthalmic investigation?

The authors report a case series of 21 patients (41 eyes) diagnosed with acute methanol poisoning following an outbreak in Tunisia in 2020. All patients underwent a complete ophthalmological examination including visual fields, colour vision test and optical coherence tomography...

Retinal nerve fibre layer thickness in migraine

The aim of this study is to evaluate retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness changes in children with migraine compared to healthy controls and analyse RNFL changes dependent on type of migraine. This was an observation case control study of...

Use of oral fluorescein angiography in a paediatric population

The authors report a retrospective records review of all patients who received an oral ultrawide fluorescein angiography (FA) over a 42-month period at a single children’s hospital. Data were extracted from the records including indication for FA, adverse events, pauses...
