Atlas of Clinical and Surgical Orbital Anatomy (Third Edition)
This textbook highlights in its preface to the third edition that considerable research has been undertaken in the fields of orbital and periorbital anatomy since 1994 (first edition) and 2011 (second edition). Various topics have been elucidated, such as the...DVLA publishes revised list of notifiable conditions list for drivers following AOP advice
The AOP have been actively working with the DVLA since serious concerns were raised over its extended list of notifiable conditions at the end of last year.
Treatment of Sjogren’s Syndrome dry eye in mouse model
Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by inflammation of the exocrine glands, specifically the salivary and lacrimal glands that produce saliva and tears, respectively. The immune-mediated attack on the salivary and lacrimal glands leads to the development...
How to achieve 1% solution of Lissamine green
Lissamine green (LG) concentration of 1% is clinically effective in the diagnosis of ocular surface disease. LG is now commercially available only in a form of dye-impregnated strips, whose concentration is insufficient. This study examined how to achieve 1% concentration...
Differential inhibition of EAU by CTLA4 and IL-6
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA4) binds both CD80 and Cd86 and inhibits T lymphocyte activation via CD28. Il-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that has been associated with many autoimmune conditions including uveitis. Blockade of these molecules by either CTLA4-Ig, a...
Slanted MR surgery for convergence excess ET
The authors aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of bilateral slanted recessions of the medial rectus (MR) muscles in patients with convergence excess esotropia (ET). This retrospective study included 16 patients with a mean age at surgery of 5.6 ±3.05...
Effect of laser wavelength on delivering effective burns through opaque lens using pattern scan laser
Panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) has been used in the treatment of various retinal disorders for many decades. Conventional single-spot lasers take quite some time to do with significantly higher pain, anxiety and photophobia when compared to the pattern scan laser (PSL)....
Features of AMD treatment non-responders
This is a retrospective consecutive case series of 365 eyes with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who had three monthly intravitreal aflibercept treatments for at least 12 months. Responders were defined as complete resolution of exudation, intraretinal oedema, subretinal fluid, pigment...
Surgery for third nerve palsy (2019)
The authors present a new technique for split muscle medial transposition surgery of the lateral rectus plus union with the distal split stump of the medial rectus. This increases the length of the contracted lateral rectus through the addition of...
Using small amplitude saccades to assess saccadic velocity
Saccades are a key component in the assessment and diagnosis of neuro-ophthalmological disorders. Clinicians are typically taught to use large amplitude saccades (LAS) of at least 20 degrees to assess saccadic velocity. It has been suggested, however, that small amplitude...
Topical nonsteroidal ant-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in patients undergoing cataract surgery
Inflammation is a major risk factor for the development of cystoid macular oedema (CMO) after cataract surgery, leading to breakdown of the blood-retina barrier. There is a correlation between severity of CMO and level of postoperative inflammation. Laser flare meter...
