Optical quality difference between monofocal and multifocal intraocular lenses
It is well known that multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) can generate more than one focus to restore distance and near vision, but patients may experience adverse optical phenomena such as decreased contrast sensitivity and induced glare or halos. The authors...
MicroRNA inhibits corneal neovascularisation
MicroRNAs (miR) are small non-coding RNA that target mRNA for destruction. MiR target about 30% of the protein coding genes and fine tune their expression. MiR have been shown to be involved in several cellular processes including cell cycle, tissue...
Overview of traumatic optic neuropathy
The authors present the clinical features and role of various treatment modalities on the final vision outcome in traumatic optic neuropathy (TON). They retrospectively reviewed the records of patients with a diagnosis of TON over a four year period in...
Stroke-vision symptoms
The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency and type of visual symptoms following stroke and evaluate what certain factors were associated with the absence of visual symptoms. This was a prospective, multi-centre, observation cohort study with 915...
Near cue responses
The authors tested subjects with esotropia (13 constant esotropia, 16 fully accommodative esotropia and eight convergence excess) versus age-matched controls and 27 young adult emmetropes for response profiles in comparison to matched control groups. They found responses to the all-cue...
CFEOM outcomes
This study presents the orbital and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of patients diagnosed with congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) along with the surgical procedures and outcomes for ocular motility and strabismus. Nine patients are described: three...
Avastin vs. Volon A for diabetic macular oedema
This prospective randomised interventional clinical trial compared 30 diabetic patients with macular oedema treated with either intravitreal injections of bevacizumab (Avastin) or triamcinolone (Volon A). One group initially received three injections of 2.5 mg Avastin in monthly intervals whilst the...
An interesting presentation of ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm with acute monocular vision loss
The authors report an interesting case of a 60-year-old man presenting with acute monocular vision loss accompanied by periorbital pain as an unusual presentation of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) from ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm. The patient did not present with...
Clinical and neuro-ophthalmologic predictors of visual outcome in idiopathic intracranial hypertension
This prospective study of 40 patients aims to assess visual morbidity in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). Final visual outcome of patients was compared with clinical and neuro-ophthalmic parameters such as visual acuity, visual field, contrast sensitivity, retinal nerve...
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...
Ocular characteristics in Marfan syndrome
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disorder with clinical manifestations associated with cardiovascular, ocular and skeletal organ systems. Typical signs are descending aortic root aneurysms, ectopia lentis, tall stature and scoliosis. This observational study looked at the ocular characteristics, visual...
