Glaucoma management after congenital cataract

The purpose of this study was to retrospectively explore the results of surgical intervention for glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery in Egypt. The study included 41 eyes of 32 children with glaucoma after cataract surgery – 57 procedures; 90% having...

Retinopathy of prematurity

This review article describes the pathophysiology of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The authors start by introducing the condition and its incidence. There is extensive information on the pathophysiology mechanisms involved in the condition to include normal and pathological retinal development....

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...

A to Z of X-linked retinopathies

This review article provides an excellent summary of X-linked retinopathies and the corresponding genotype and clinical features. The authors provide a comprehensive overview of each condition in terms of its pathogenesis, clinical features, imaging findings, electrophysiology changes and any current...

Bacterial keratitis through the window of the known unknowns

This review article provides an up-to-date summary of current challenges in research and management of bacterial keratitis. The authors highlight that there is no current agreement on the criteria that should define bacterial keratitis; the role of investigation is unclear,...

Detecting glaucoma with only OCT

In this review article, the authors describe a probability model based upon only OCT to detect glaucoma. They explain how normal anatomical variation can lead to false positives and applying a model to account for this improves specificity. The application...

All you need to know about PIC

This is a review article of punctate inner chorioretinopathy (PIC). The authors detail the epidemiology and clinic presentation of the disease. They recognise the challenge of an accurate diagnosis due to its resemblance to other posterior uveitic entities. Multimodal imaging...

Under pressure: the constant drive to improve IOP monitoring

The authors offer a comprehensive overview of interplay between glaucoma and intraocular pressure (IOP), IOP measurement principles and historical measurement techniques and progress in IOP measurement devices. The authors explore the issues surrounding current thinking in IOP measurement and its...

Ground control to optic nerve – the space oddity to be studied

The authors explore the clinical entity that is known as Spaceflight Associated Neuro-ocular Syndrome (SANS). Its clinical characteristics include optic disc oedema, hyperopic refractive shifts, globe flattening, and chorioretinal folds, may pose a health risk for future space exploration. Understanding...
