It’s a fast moving field,...The Case of Dr Bawa-Garba – Where does the buck stop?
The case of Hadiza Bawa-Garba has left all of us in the UK medical profession with an uncomfortable taste in our mouths. We all know that we work under pressure and we will inevitably make mistakes. We all know that...
Contrast sensitivity after laser corneal surgery
This study group compared contrast sensitivity among participants undergoing wavefront-guided or wavefront-optimised photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the treatment of myopia or myopic astigmatism 12 months after surgery. This was a prospective, randomised clinical trial,...
Prognosis of ocular motor cranial nerve palsies caused by pituitary adenoma and meningioma
The authors present a retrospective cohort study with the aim of comparing recovery rate and time of ocular motor cranial nerve palsies (CNP) caused by pituitary adenoma or meningioma. Cases were identified from a single tertiary referral centre over a...
Two-year GATHER2 data: anatomical gains, functional questions for avacincaptad pegol in geographic atrophy
