Radiation maculopathy

This is a retrospective non-randomised study of 13 consecutive eyes of 13 patients affected by radiation maculopathy secondary to eye irradiation for primary uveal melanoma (Iodine-125 brachytherapy). All patients were treated with a single intravitreal 0.7mg dexamethasone implant and full...

Review of extraocular muscle biopsies and utility of biopsy in extraocular muscle enlargement

This is a retrospective case series study from Melbourne, Australia, of 93 patients with extraocular muscle (EOM) enlargement who underwent an EOM biopsy between March 1992 and January 2017. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the data between patients with...

Ultra-widefield fundus autofluorescence

The authors assessed the ease and utility of ultra-widefield fundus autofluorescence (UWF-FAF) in detecting suspected inherited retinal disease in children who were difficult to examine. They aimed to assess the sensitivity of UWF-FAF and UWF-CF (colour fundus) photography and clinical...

Can the angle of origin of the ophthalmic artery predict embolic trajectory?

A retrospective, comparative case-control study was used to test the hypothesis that a risk factor for retinal versus cerebral infarct is the angular origin of the ophthalmic artery from the internal carotid artery. The study compared one group (n=28) who...

Do patients with prolactinomas using dopamine agonist drugs have autonomic dysfunction?

This prospective study aimed to determine whether there is autonomic dysfunction in patients with prolactinomas using dopamine agonist (DA) drugs by measuring static and dynamic pupillary responses using an automatic pupillometric device.Included were 25 eyes from 25 patients who were...

High rate of conversion from ocular hypertension to glaucoma in subjects with uveitis

This is a retrospective study from Auckland over a 10-year period. A total of 188 eyes of 139 subjects with either ocular hypertension (OH) or uveitic glaucoma (UG) were included for analysis with a mean follow up of 9.9 years....

High rate of conversion from ocular hypertension (OH) to glaucoma (UG) in subjects with uveitis

This is a retrospective study from Auckland over a 10-year period including 188 eyes of 139 subjects with either OH or UG and were included for analysis with a mean follow-up of 9.9 years. The most common uveitis causes were...

Review of chalazion treatment

Even though chalazion is a common eyelid lesion, there is lack of consensus on a treatment algorithm. Conservative management includes lid hygiene and warm compresses and, in some cases, steroid ointments for two to three weeks. More invasive options for...

Use of the Mendonca strabismus forceps in locating and measuring muscle insertions

The authors aimed to compare the reliability of the Mendonca strabismus forceps vs intraoperative calliper measurements for determining the distance from the limbus to the insertion of the extraocular muscles in patients undergoing strabismus surgery. This was a prospective observation...

Artificial intelligence and oculomics: Improving global health

The application of artificial intelligence (AI), and in particular deep learning, to high-resolution ocular imaging has led to many new discoveries, enabling the prediction of multiple different systemic diseases from ocular biomarkers. This emerging field is known as ‘oculomics’ [1]....

Landmark review of glaucoma treatment and research published by Moorfields-led team

Four world-leading experts, including Hari Jayaram and Gus Gazzard from Moorfields, have combined their knowledge with the findings from over 150 peer-reviewed study publications to produce a landmark paper published in the Lancet.

Ocular findings in autism

This retrospective study investigated the ocular manifestations of autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) among children in a paediatric ophthalmic practice setting. Fifty-three patients were identified. Assessments were undertaken for 44 with 68% having autistic disorder, 16% with pervasive personality disorder –...
