Comparison of visual field indices between normal adults and children

The authors present a prospective observational study which aimed to compare visual field indices with retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness using optical coherence tomography (OCT) in normal adults and children. Children aged 6–18 years were recruited from a single...

Development of testing protocols for high and low contrast visual acuity

Dysfunction of the afferent visual system, characterised by impairments in high-contrast visual acuity (HCVA) and low-contrast visual acuity (LCVA) have been demonstrated in some neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. HCVA and LCVA are also potential quantitative...

Prognostic factors for visual acuity in patients with LHON after gene therapy

This retrospective study investigates prognostic factors affecting the visual acuity after a single intravitreal injection of rAAV2-ND4 gene therapy in 53 patients with Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) with mutation at site 11 778. Patients were reviewed one and three...

Management options for microphthalmia with orbital cyst with / without visual potential

The authors present six cases (seven eyes) of congenital microphthalmia and orbital cyst. These cases were newborn mainly with one aged 20 years. There were four females and two males and two of seven eyes had a visual potential of...

Transsynaptic retrograde degeneration linked to homonymous visual field loss after stroke

centre, of individuals identified with homonymous visual field loss post ischaemic stroke. Exclusion criteria were bilateral ischaemia, anterior / pregeniculate visual pathway affected and other pathology with the potential to effect visual fields. The following were extracted from the medical...

Children’s visual acuity test without professional supervision

With increasing outpatient demand there has been an innovative shift to involve patients managing their own condition. This article compares visual testing carried out by an orthoptist with usual clinical methods, an orthoptist using the iSIGHT Test Pro and a...

Reduction of severe visual loss and complications following IAC for RB

This was a retrospective cohort study of patients with retinoblastoma (RB) who required intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) between 2013 and 2015, who had relapsed following systemic chemotherapy. A total of nine patients were included in the study and their ocular complications...

Visual field progression after glaucoma drainage device implantation

This retrospective interventional case series assessed changes to visual fields after implantation of a glaucoma drainage device (Baerveldt, Ahmed or Molteno Devices) between 2010 and 2015. A total of 106 eyes from 96 patients were included in the final analysis...

Home testing versus in-person visual acuity test results

This retrospective review compared visual acuity findings by parents / carers during telehealth consultations compared with their subsequent in-person tests. Parents were given an information pack with testing instructions for home tests. The study included 43 patients (86 eyes) with...
