Accuracy of AS-OCT muscle insertion measurements
Anterior segment - optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) is a non-contact imaging method that can provide accurate measures of extraocular muscles to limbus insertion distances. The authors evaluated the accuracy of AS-OCT for locating horizontal extraocular muscle insertions after strabismus surgery...
Accuracy of ASOCT muscle insertion measurements
Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) is a non-contact imaging method that can provide accurate measures of extraocular muscles to limbus insertion distances. The authors evaluated the accuracy of ASOCT for locating horizontal extraocular muscle insertions after strabismus surgery in...
Exotropic angle by PACT vs under translucent cover
The authors aimed to validate the photographic analysis with a translucent cover by comparing the results obtained from this analysis with the angle obtained by prism cover test (PACT) in patients with intermittent exotropia. This was a retrospective review of...
Environmental variations in endophthalmitis

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether cost, prior insurance authorisation concerns and subspecialty practice influence therapeutic decisions in the treatment of uveitis associated with JIA. The authors developed an email questionnaire that included a brief vignette of...
Therapeutic options for advanced cutaneous basal (BCC) and squamous cell carcinomas (SCC)
This article discusses the use of topical and systemic therapy in the management of advanced periocular tumours. It focuses on those that have gained United States Food and Drug Administration approval; namely imiquimod, vismodegib, sonidegib, pembrolizumab and cemiplimab. Imiquimod is...
SLT short-term results
The aim of the study was to evaluate the risk of adverse effects and short-term results after 360 degrees selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in glaucoma patients. The authors enrolled 64 eyes of 64 patients all who had poorly controlled primary...
Is pre-eclampsia / eclampsia a risk factor for non-infective uveitis?
This population based retrospective matched cohort study was the first of its kind to suggest an association between preeclampsia / eclampsia (PEE) and non-infective uveitis (NIU). They used the Longitudinal National Health Insurance database in Taiwan to assess 2073 post-delivery...Pete’s day off
“You’re not dying. You just can’t think of anything good to do” The above is the explanation given by high school student Ferris to his friend Cameron, who is lying in bed feeling sorry for himself when he should be...
