He is also the Research Fellowship Director, Department of Ophthalmology, University...Decoding the red eye
Red eye, or hyperaemia, is one of the most common presentations to primary care [1] and the emergency department [2]. However, despite this the underlying cause is often misdiagnosed which can lead to severe, sight-threatening conditions being missed [1]. Thorough...Time is vision in central retinal artery occlusion
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is a rare but devastating vascular episode that can have severe impact on vision. Treatment is very time-limited and needs to be initiated very quickly to salvage any vision. The majority of patients present to...
Ocular motor score in spastic hemiplegia
The authors aimed to assess the oculomotor functions in children with spastic hemiplegia (SH) caused by different brain pathologies and evaluate the results obtained by the ocular motor score (OMS). The study included 34 children with a median age of...
Literature review of OKN
The authors conducted a critical review of the optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) literature to consider OKN and in particular, vertical OKN. The review provides an overview of OKN to aid understanding of the eye movements. It provides a review of the...The role of clinical teaching fellows in ophthalmology: Bridging the gap as near-peer clinical skills teachers
As medical education evolves, the importance of ‘near-peer teaching’ – where trainees teach those just below them in terms of medical years – has gained recognition across specialties. In ophthalmology, a field known for its steep learning curve, niche skills...Psychiatric Consequences of Ophthalmic Disease
In part two of this series on ophthalmology and psychiatry, the authors will cover the possible psychiatric consequences of ophthalmic disease. The following conditions will be discussed: a. Black patch psychosis b. Psychological state in blindness c. Phobias in the...Brain tumours in adults: the essentials for an ophthalmologist
The author provides a review of the common intracranial tumours in adults (other than pituitaries) which may present to an ophthalmologist. Primary malignant brain tumours comprise 3% of adult cancers but with an ageing population such tumours are becoming more...The role of spectral-domain OCT RNFL in revealing a pituitary adenoma with atypical visual fields
Pituitary adenomas classically cause bitemporal hemianopia by compressing the optic chiasm. However, in some cases, the pattern of visual field loss may be atypical and mimic homonymous hemianopia, depending on the direction and extent of tumour expansion. Spectral-domain optical coherence...
