Esotropia Duane’s syndrome (DRS) surgery
The authors aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of augmented superior rectus transposition surgery with / without medial rectus (MR) recession versus MR recession along in the treatment of esotropic DRS. This was a prospective randomised trial of 20...Assessing everyday visual function in dry AMD – what matters to the person?
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the primary cause of blindness in the developed world and is accountable for more than one half of sight impairment registrations within England and Wales [1]. AMD is prevalent in people aged 60 years and...
Acanthamoeba ability to adhere to different contact lenses
This study tested ability of Acanthamoeba lugdunensis trophozoites to adhere to silicon hydrogel contact lenses (SHCL) and how this is influenced by different multipurpose contact lens solutions (MPS). Three generations of SHCL were tested: first generation – Air Optix, second...
Effect of preservative free fluoroquinolones on human corneal epithelial cells in vitro
Fluoroquinolones, including second generation (ofloxacin and ciprofloxacin), third generation (levofloxacin and tosufloxacin) and fourth generation (gatifloxacin and moxifloxacin), are a group of bactericidal agents used to treat multiple ocular infections. The third and fourth generation fluoroquinolones have enhanced Gram-positive activity...Launch of the Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Service in UHWI Jamaica
At 2.55pm on Wednesday 16 March 2016 the first patient was screened and given her results in the new nurse-led Diabetic Retinopathy Screening (DRS) Clinic at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI), Kingston, Jamaica. This was the result...The ‘art’ of refraction – designing a refraction course
Learning how to refract requires theoretical knowledge, practice and determination. Refraction is a notoriously challenging skill to acquire and the competing demands on junior ophthalmologists can often be restrictive of the development of this core skill. To consolidate theory learnt...
Cytotoxic effect of voriconazole on human corneal epithelial cells
Voriconazole is a second-generation synthetic derivative of fluconazole with broadened antifungal spectrum. It is becoming the drug of choice for fungal keratitis. Voriconazole eye drops are not available commercially, thus have to be prepared by diluting the intravenous formulation containing...GREG (Gloucestershire Research & Education Group): Introduction to Grading Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)
This course has been designed to introduce students to grading in diabetic retinopathy, based around national standards. It consists of pre-course online learning, and two days of face to face training. It explores diabetic retinopathy in depth, and provides students with an extensive understanding of how this condition is classified. The teaching is provided by Gloucestershire Research & Education Group and participants will receive an in-house certificate from the Gloucestershire Research & Education Group, on successful completion.GREG: An Introduction to Diabetic Retinopathy Grading

Current concepts of the uveitis-glaucoma-hyphaema (UGH) syndrome
The authors discuss pathophysiology, aetiology and current management strategies of UGH syndrome. The clinical features of UGH are different than initial descriptions. UGH today is most often associated with posterior chamber IOLs that are not placed within the capsular bag...
Bardet Biedl refractive error
This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of 45 patients with genetically diagnosed Bardet Biedl syndrome. Patients with biallelic defects in any gene known to cause Bardet Biedl syndrome were eligible for inclusion. Patients underwent cycloplegic refraction and keratometry. The mean...
