Diabetic retinopathy and body fat distribution and adipokine secretion in type 2 diabetics

The major risk factors for diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with diabetes are poor glycaemic or blood pressure control, duration of diabetes and nephropathy related to the severity of DR. Several studies suggest that DR is associated with visceral fat...

Visual outcomes, visual fields and optical coherence tomography in paediatric craniopharyngioma

This study reviews the visual outcomes of ten patients under the age of 18 years with craniopharyngioma. The paper also reviews the correlation between visual field (VF) testing and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination and evaluates the role of OCT...

Saccadic differences under cover test

Patients with intermittent exotropia and exophoria plus ortho subjects underwent measurement of saccadic reaction times (SRTs) to compare those occurring in one eye and those occurring with alternating cover tests (ACTs). Twenty-five subjects were studied. Results for the intermittent exotropia...

Under pressure: intraocular pressure and bariatric surgery
