Could the sclera be key to glaucoma?
The glaucomas are a group of conditions characterised by optic neuropathy and associated visual field defects. Of these, chronic open-angle glaucoma (COAG) – diagnosed on the basis of progressive structural changes to the optic nerve head (ONH) and nerve fibre...Advances in the understanding, diagnostic and treatment of keratoconus
*Joint first authors Keratoconus is a bilateral and asymmetric eye condition in which the cornea’s structure is affected and thinned, causing a cone-shaped bulge to develop. This results in progressive loss of vision and impairs the ability of the eye...Glaucoma UK announces grant for Health and Social Care Professionals to further glaucoma research
Glaucoma UK is pleased to announce that applications for its Health and Social Care Professionals Research Award are now open.OSA signs further 10 year deal with 100% Optical
The OSA and Media 10, owners of 100% Optical, have signed a further ten-year agreement to work together. This follows the three-year agreement which has been in place since the closure of Optrafair. The securing of this long-term relationship between...
A possible biomarker for diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common form of diabetic eye disease, characterised by exudates, microaneurysms and haemorrhage. Early diagnosis is crucial for preventing visual loss. The risk of developing diabetic retinopathy is known to increase with age as well...
Wide variation in the volume of the sphenoid trigone
This is a radiological study of the volume of the sphenoid trigone in normal subjects. The authors were interested to see how much volume could be gained by removal of the trigone during an orbital decompression for thyroid eye disease....
Vision measurements vs. self-rating
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between self-rated vision status and tests of visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, stereoacuity, bilateral visual field and self-reported visual function in specific domains of near and far vision. The goal was...
Differences in elastometry of cornea and optic nerve head in both eyes of patients with NAION
Non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is an important cause of visual loss in the middle aged and elderly population. This prospective cross-sectional study investigates the biomechanical properties of optic nerve head (ONH) and cornea in both eyes of patients...
Glaucoma and capillary perfusion
Elevated IOP is important but not the sole factor responsible for retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death and optic nerve damage in glaucoma. There is increasing evidence that visual loss correlates with macular inner retinal thinning. A total of 148 eyes...
Bardet Biedl refractive error
This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of 45 patients with genetically diagnosed Bardet Biedl syndrome. Patients with biallelic defects in any gene known to cause Bardet Biedl syndrome were eligible for inclusion. Patients underwent cycloplegic refraction and keratometry. The mean...Scottish Glaucoma Symposium 2024
by Nivi Aravind, Y5 Medical Student, University of Edinburgh, UK. The 22nd Scottish Glaucoma Symposium enlivened the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh on 21 June in what was a delightful meeting of minds. The day’s programme was impeccably...
