Spectral domain OCT vs. confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope in measuring RNFL thickness

The aim of this prospective study was to compare the retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFL) measurements obtained from the Cirrus optical coherence tomography (spectral domain OCT) with the Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph 3 (HRT3, confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope). Eighty-eight normal...

Clinical course of vitreomacular adhesion managed by initial observation

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical course of patients with idiopathic vitreomacular adhesion (VMA) with a noncomparative case series of patients who had clinical symptoms and spectral-domain optical coherence tomography findings consistent with VMA. The VMA...

Scheimpflug vs. OCT in measuring corneal thickness

The authors report on the reproducibility and repeatability of corneal thickness measurements using three different Scheimpflug imaging cameras (Pentacam, Sirius and Galilei) and one Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) system (RTvue-100). The rationale for this study is that corneal thickness...

Macular pigment and dark adaptation in older population with normal maculas

Macular pigment (MP) such as lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin are highly concentrated in the fovea. They protect the retina from damage of ambient blue light via antioxidant properties. In older eyes with normal healthy retina, macular pigment optical density (MPOD)...

Optical coherence tomography angiography usability in measuring iris vasculature in strabismus surgery

The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) as a screening tool for anterior segment ischemia (ASI) in strabismus surgery. Optical coherence tomography angiography measurements were taken in 18 subjects. Twelve were...

Sharing best practice and landmark evidence in glaucoma care

Evolving technology, best practice and landmark evidence in glaucoma care were reviewed by an international expert faculty in session presentations and debates during the 11th Moorfields International Glaucoma Symposium 2019. The authors were meeting chairs and provide an overview of...

Cataract surgery is changing. Is the pathway keeping up?

- Sponsored Content - As demand rises and patients ask more of their vision after surgery, cataract innovation is being pushed at different points along the pathway - from more differentiated lens choices and expectation-setting before surgery to control, workflow...

Retinal Vein Occlusions: Evidence-based Management

This reference book is designed to enable an ophthalmologist to make diagnostic and treatment decisions on the basis of the available scientific evidence. This is a very comprehensive book covering all aspects of central retinal vein occlusions including basics, clinical...

A rare case of bilateral multifocal vitelliform dystrophy

Vitelliform macular dystrophies are a subset of retinal dystrophies that result in the accumulation of lipofuscin, commonly in the macula leading to the formation of characteristic vitelliform lesions [1]. Most cases have a solitary lesion in the macula, but rarely...

Gemini Untwined: treating craniopagus conjoined twins

The authors discuss the successful separation of craniopagus conjoined twins at Great Ormond Street Hospital and the role of the ophthalmologist in such cases. Craniopagus conjoined twins are extraordinarily rare, occurring in only one in 2.5 million births and representing...
