Migraine attack: does retinal and peripapillary blood flow change?

This prospective clinical study compared retinal and peripapillary blood flow parameters in migraine patients during an attack with healthy controls using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). OCTAs were performed on 52 eyes from 26 migraine sufferers and 48 eyes from...

Microperimetry measurements in anisometropic amblyopia

The authors aimed to evaluate retinal sensitivity and fixation characteristics in children with anisometropic amblyopia by macular analyser integrity assessment (MAIA) microperimetry and to compare the results between amblyopia and fellow eyes. The study included 39 children; 21 female –...

Changes in drusen and retinal layer volumes prior to CNV development

This retrospective longitudinal study looked at patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in one eye who subsequently developed wet AMD in the fellow eye. The aim was to discover whether drusen characteristics or volumes of retinal layers correlate with...

What is paracentral acute middle maculopathy?

This is a review article characterising a clinical entity called paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM). The article highlights the fact that retinal capillary plexuses are organised predominantly into three trilaminar capillary layers occupying the area between the nerve fibre layer...

Cystoid macular oedema following retinal detachment surgery

There are limited studies examining the incidence and risk factors for postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CMO) following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. Postoperative CMO is thought to be due to pro-inflammatory state, where numerous cytokines lead to tight junction dysfunction,...

Genetics counsellors in inherited retinal disease clinics

This is a questionnaire-based study from the USA of genetics counsellors with a primary role working within ophthalmology services. The purpose was to investigate the roles currently undertaken, to assess workload, and to acquire data on the experience of genetics...

Changes in retinal and choroidal microcirculation after strabismus surgery

The aim was to evaluate retinal and choroidal microcirculation using optical coherence tomography angiography after strabismus surgery. This was a cross-sectional observation study of 44 eyes of 44 patients. Patients were split into three groups: (1) one-muscle horizontal surgery (n=9);...
