Diagnostic procedures in vitreoretinal lymphoma.
This paper presented a retrospective review of medical records of HIV negative immunocompetent patients diagnosed with vitreoretinal lymphoma between 1994 and 2012. The aim of the paper was to evaluate the type and number of diagnostic interventions required to confirm...Acanthaemoeba keratitis
In the second of this series I describe a case of Acanthaemoeba keratitis (AK) that was misdiagnosed for a prolonged period which resulted in a devastating outcome. This is one of half a dozen similar medico-legal cases I have dealt...
Diagnostic error rates for ROP detection by trainee ophthalmologists
The purpose of this study was to characterise common errors in ROP diagnosis by ophthalmologists-in-training in the USA and Canada. Case acquisition was from a web-based system used for ROP assessment from which 20 cases were selected. Fifty-five trainees from...
Acanthamoeba keratitis
This is a retrospective case series on medical records and corneal photographs of 40 eyes of 35 patients with acanthamoeba keratitis (AK, culture positive or with histopathological diagnosis). The mean age of onset was 30 ±15 years (younger in females)....A revolution in modern genetic testing for the clinical management of ocular disease
Recent years have seen a huge increase in our understanding of the genetic factors underlying a wide variety of eye diseases. This has included common conditions such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration, as well as those conditions which have...Does vitrectomy increase the risk of glaucoma? A retrospective review from a UK hospital
The authors investigate what proportion of patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy subsequently developed ocular hypertension or a diagnosis of glaucoma. A systematic review carried out in 2017 including seven studies found that there is evidence that pars plana vitrectomy (PPV)...
Accuracy of clinician vs. radiologic interpretation of the imaging of orbital lesions
This is a retrospective study of 242 patients who underwent surgical orbitomy at University of California Davis Health between 1 January 2000 and 20 May 2019. The preoperative imaging with radiologist’s interpretation, clinical assessment with clinician’s interpretation of imaging, and...The history, evolution and future of optical coherence tomography
OCT has made it possible to capture a detailed 3D image of the retina, revolutionising ophthalmic diagnostics and optometric practice. Professor Fujimoto, inventor of OCT, visits us from MIT to speak on the transformative impact of OCT and its future role in AI diagnostics, vision and wider healthcare.
A Case-Based Guide to Eye Pain: Perspectives from Ophthalmology and Neurology
A refreshing, systematic approach to eye pain, arguably one of the most commonly presenting symptoms and one that can be fraught with diagnostic challenges and management dilemmas for the busy clinician. There is a scarcity of books covering this particular...Insects, swelling and sight loss: a case of orbital inflammatory syndrome
Despite being the most common cause of painful orbital mass in adults and the third most common orbital disease, orbital inflammatory syndrome still proves to be a difficult ocular condition to diagnose, treat, and manage. A 41-year-old lady presented to...
A case series of acquired esotropia in cerebellar disease
Acquired esotropia in cerebellar disease is well described but under-recognised. The pathogenesis of cerebellar esotropia is controversial. It is suggested it may be a result of disruption to central vestibular pathways. This article reports a case series of seven adults...
