Long-term specular microscopy following Nd: YAG iridotomy in chronic POAG
The aim of this study was to evaluate specular microscopy of chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (CPACG) eyes at least one year after Nd:YAG iridotomy, and compare them with CPACG eyes without an iridotomy and age-matched, normal eyes. Nd:YAG laser causes...
Hyper reflective foci (HRF) on OCT in diabetic retinopathy
This study investigated the presence of hyper reflective foci (HRF) in asymptomatic patients affected by type 1 or type 2 diabetes, separately, without clinically significant diabetic macular oedema and visual impairment. In total 71 eyes with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy were...
DISC lens slow myopia progression in Hong Kong Chinese schoolchildren
This is a prospective double-blind randomised trial between September 2007 and October 2009. It included 221 children aged 8-13 years, with myopia between -1 and -5 Dioptres ≤1.00D. There were 111 patients in the defocus incorporated soft contact DISC group...
Ginko bilboa extract affects hypoxic retinal pigment epithelial cells
Wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterised by choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) formation. It is thought that localised hypoxia within the retina results in overexpression of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which induces CNVM formation. VEGF...
Retinoschisis
In this retrospective study the authors evaluate the effect of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for lamellar macular hole (LMH) with or without macular retinoschisis in highly myopic eyes. Twenty-one highly myopic patients (22 eyes)...
Impact of COVID-19 on primary retinal detachments
This study aimed to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the presentation characteristics, timings, and surgical decisions for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). The cohort included all patients who presented to a Portuguese centre over a two-year period,...
Ocular hypertension following intravitreal steroid injections: a comparative study between triamcinolone-acetonide and dexamethasone-implant
This was a retrospective observational study of steroid response following 1549 intravitreal steroid (TA and Dex) injections. One thousand and seventy-five eyes of 897 patients were reviewed. Glaucoma patients, glaucoma suspects, uveitis, trauma, and cases with less than one month...
Optic disc pit maculopathy: an optical coherence tomography study
This was a single-centre, retrospective observational case series that aimed to analyse the change of optical coherence tomography (OCT) characteristics in the natural course of optic disc pit maculopathy (ODP-M) and their effects on visual acuity. Twenty-two eyes of 22...
Outcomes of office and home-based training vs part-time occlusion for intermittent exotropia management
This study aimed to compare patch therapy with non-surgical treatment options for intermittent exotropia (IXT) using a synoptophore with/without simultaneous active orthoptic treatment and a maintenance treatment using computer-based gaming software. This 3-group trial recruited 72 patients. Intervention 1 (N=24)...
