Fellow eye comparison of DMEK and PKP

This retrospective analysis of 11 patients who underwent penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) in their first eye followed by descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) in their second eye studied visual and refractive outcomes. Intra and postoperative complications were compared and a subjective...

A comparative evaluation of a new diffractive trifocal and EDOF IOLs

This study aimed to compare the outcomes of two diffractive trifocal intraocular lenses and one extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOLs). This was a six month, single centred, prospective, randomised, comparative study in which patients who underwent routine...

Is DSAEK or DMEK better for failed penetrating keratoplasty (PKP)?

This retrospective study involved 52 patients with failed penetrating keratoplasty. Twenty-eight eyes underwent Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and 24 eyes underwent Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). Data collection included demographic characteristics, number of previous corneal transplants, previous glaucoma...

Vision screening standards for fitness to drive

Most countries require that vision meets a pre-defined standard in order to be legally permitted to drive, but these standards vary widely. The primary method by which vision is assessed to determine suitability for driving is by measuring visual acuity...

EDOF intraocular lens in eyes with preexisting retinal disease

Extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL) offers improved near and intermediate vision, aiming to reduce spectacle dependence in cataract patients. This study aims to evaluate the performance of EDOF lenses following cataract surgery in patients with retinal pathology....

Validation of a vision screening service according to AFSOP recommendations

This study evaluated the accuracy of the diagnostic parameters used in the French Association for Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AFSOP) screening protocol performed by an orthoptist in relation to the reference standard ophthalmology examination. The study also evaluated parent satisfaction...

Practice Plus Group is delighted to offer an accredited event for local referrers: ‘Identifying candidates for combined glaucoma and cataract surgery: an advanced approach’ During this course, we will delve into the complex interplay between Glaucoma and Cataract, exploring how...

Assessing everyday visual function in dry AMD – what matters to the person?

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the primary cause of blindness in the developed world and is accountable for more than one half of sight impairment registrations within England and Wales [1]. AMD is prevalent in people aged 60 years and...

Addressing diabetes-related complications in Tanzania and Eswatini: A comprehensive approach to eye and foot screening

Diabetes is rising globally, particularly in low- to middle-income countries (LMICs), where healthcare systems are under resourced [1,2]. Among its complications, diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic foot disease are preventable yet frequently overlooked [3-6]. These problems often develop together due...

World-class centre for eye health reaches construction milestone

The new home for Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology reached a significant construction milestone today. The completion of the concrete structure as part of the new centre for advancing eye health in St...

Corneal hysteresis: An emerging biomarker in the management of glaucoma

Corneal hysteresis (CH) is gaining recognition as a valuable parameter in the management of glaucoma. Corneal hysteresis is defined as the difference between the inward and outward pressure responses of the cornea during deformation. This measurement reflects the viscoelastic properties...
