History A 78-year-old female presented with bilateral, painless, progressive blurring of vision over five years, photophobia and increasing glare. Her past medical history included a known diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). On examination, vision in the left...Cybersight: Using OCT as an Approach to Diagnose Glaucomatous and Other Optic Neuropathies
Clinically, the difference between glaucomatous and simple optic atrophy of other origins is not always clear. OCT with the ability to image and measure inner retinal layers in the macula and peripapillary area, with the measurement of rim atrophy, is...A patient report of pseudoxanthoma elasticum, angioid streaks and choroidal neovascularisation
Angioid streaks (AS) on their own do not cause many problems, with the majority of patients remaining asymptomatic [1]. However, once choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) occurs, the visual prognosis of the patient rapidly declines [2]. Treatment is imperative to try and...A case of ‘60-day glaucoma’
Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) has been called ‘90-’ or ‘100-day glaucoma’ in the past due to its typical development three months after the onset of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). In reality, NVG can occur anywhere between two weeks and two...Management of DMO and PDR in 2019
An evidence-based approach to the management of diabetic macular oedema (DMO) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in 2019 was outlined by Sobha Sivaprasad, UK, in presentations during the Diabetic Retina scientific session September 6 2019, at the 19th European Society...
Retinal blood flow changes in glaucoma
This study examined the changes in retinal blood flow and vessel diameter after IOP reduction in high- and low-pressure glaucoma; exfoliation glaucoma (ExG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). Glaucoma progression is seen at times in eyes despite IOP reduction and changes...ANTS Imaging Competition 2025
The ANTerior Segment Imaging Competition from Eye News and Keeler promotes and celebrates the work of slit-lamp imaging, culminating in cash prizes and exposure for its winners. After a successful run in 2024, the ANTS Imaging Competition returned this year...Insights on medical AI for ophthalmology: an update on current perspectives
Artificial intelligence (AI) has immense promise for revolutionising medical practice. Generative AI is a form of AI in which algorithms are trained on datasets that can be used to generate new content, such as text, images or video based on...Orbis and Heidelberg Engineering team up on free e-learning opportunities
Sight-saving charity Orbis and high-tech imaging and data solutions company Heidelberg Engineering are leveraging technology to provide free clinical education for eye care professionals around the world.New report calls for national funding to expand life-changing eye care technology
Optometry Scotland warns of “postcode lottery” Optometry Scotland (OS), the representative body for optical professionals, has published a landmark report calling for the full integration of an early diagnostic tool in primary eyecare across Scotland. Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) is...
Intravitreal dexamethasone implant for recurrent CMO secondary to IGS
In this prospective study the authors present the data obtained on the efficacy and safety of the dexamethasone implant (0.7 mg) in the treatment of recurrent cystoid macular oedema (PCME) due to Irvine–Gass syndrome in patients with uncomplicated pseudophakia (off-label...
