Acromegaly associated with enlargement of extraocular recti muscles

This retrospective case review aimed to evaluate the frequency and extent of extraocular muscle enlargement in cases of acromegaly at presentation. All new presentations of acromegaly diagnosis at a single tertiary centre over a five-year period were screened for inclusion....

Comparing retinal thickness in Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and healthy controls

This study aimed to compare retinal findings in chronic essential tremor (ET), early Parkinson’s disease (PD) and healthy controls. Those recruited with ET had to have received a diagnosis a minimum of three years previous and those with PD had...

Using modified staging criteria to determine optic nerve invasion in retinoblastoma

This paper reports the use of a modified staging criteria for optic nerve invasion in extraocular retinoblastoma and its correlation with treatment outcomes in 21 patients. The average age at presentation was 41 months (7–120) and there were 14 unilateral...

ILM peeling techniques in myopic traction maculopathy

Myopic traction maculopathy (MTM) is a sight-threatening complication of high myopia including macular retinoschisis (MRS) or foveoschisis, foveal detachment (FD) and myopic macular hole (MMH). Standard surgical treatment is vitrectomy with internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling, but full-thickness macular hole...

Does modern radiological imaging detect lesions associated with internuclear ophthalmoplegia?

The authors present a retrospective case review including all patients with a diagnosis of internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) presenting to two tertiary neuro-ophthalmology centres over a five-year period. The aim of the study was to assess the sensitivity of modern radiological...

Early structural and functional retinal changes in intermittent exotropia

This study aimed to evaluate and compare spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) and electrophysiological measures in patients with intermittent exotropia and healthy controls, to outline changes in retinal and optic nerve structure and function. This was a cross-sectional...

Horizontal recti injection of botulinum toxin for treatment of infantile nystagmus

In this study the authors aimed to demonstrate the effect of botulinum toxin (BT) on the frequency of ocular oscillation in children with infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS). Botulinum toxin was administered with direct injection into the horizontal recti muscles using...

Normative data using a virtual reality game-based visual field test

The authors present a prospective cross-sectional study involving healthy children to assess the use of a virtual reality game-based perimetry assessment. A single eye centre recruited through paediatric optometry and ophthalmology clinics over a 12-month period. Children aged <18 years...

Combined home and office-based treatment for accommodative insufficiency

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the Bernell EYEPORT II vision training system on accommodation in cases of accommodative insufficiency (AI). This was a prospective randomised study comparing the intervention of the EYEPORT II vision...

How does a tablet based stereoacuity test perform in children with normal and abnormal visual acuity?

The authors present a prospective cross-sectional comparison study at a single centre. Paediatric patients attending an ophthalmology outpatient clinic and likely to be cooperative were approached to participate. Participants underwent stereoacuity assessment using the ASTEROID and Titmus tests, usually in...
