MRI in anisometropic amblyopia
This study recruited patients with anisometropic amblyopia in the right eye and without strabismus. This allowed the authors to reduce the effort exerted in cortex activities by different amblyopic eyes. They used whole brain analysis to find the differences between...
Open-field autorefraction screening
This study aimed to determine the efficacy of the Shin-Nippon NVision-K5001 autorefractometer using the open-field refractometry principle in the elimination of accommodation in children. One hundred and fourteen patients aged three to six years were recruited. After excluding ocular pathology...
Repeated ptosis surgery
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the amounts of surgery for the treatment of residual or recurrent simple congenital ptosis and to investigate the relationship between long-term surgical success rates with clinical and surgical factors. This was a...
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...
Comparison of methods of central corneal thickness measurement in glaucoma
This prospective study was done to compare the accuracy and reproducibility of central corneal thickness measured by hand-held and disc-mounted ultrasound pachymeter in glaucoma patients. Sixty-five patients were included in the study. Patients with corneal diseases, corneal astigmatism >3 diopters...
Rituximab as an immunosuppression treatment for thyroid eye disease
Thyroid eye disease is traditionally treated with high dose glucocorticosteroids and surgical orbital decompression, where responses are often inadequate. This medical treatment is centred around symptom control and reduction of thyroid hormone synthesis, not immunosuppression. Rituximab is an anti-CD20 monoclonal...
Selection of visual field test for detection of pituitary disease
This prospective cross-sectional diagnostic accuracy study compared Octopus semi-automated kinetic perimetry (SKP) and Humphrey static automated central perimetry for detection of neurological visual field loss in patients with pituitary disease. Humphrey central 30-2 SITA threshold programme results were compared with...
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...
Silicone rod for ptosis surgery
The authors report their results and complications associated with the use of silicone rod for frontalis suspension lid surgery. This was a retrospective study of 38 eyes (25 patients) with six months follow-up. The group included 19 males and six...
Glasses or not?
In this excellent review article, the authors discuss how some hyperopes avoid strabismus but also ask why the youngest infants escape strabismus and older patients go on to decompensate. The review considers a number of related aspects and their inter-relations...
Walking with prisms
This study was undertaken to assess which tempero-spatial properties of gait are influenced by vertical yoked prism (VYP) wear and consider any adjustments to gait made to maintain stability both during and following VYP wear. Thirty-one healthy adults were recruited....
