OCT findings after strabismus surgery for macular, choroidal and nerve fibre thickness
This study used OCT to investigate the changes in the central macular thickness, subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) after horizontal rectus surgery for patients with strabismus. This was a retrospective study and patients were grouped...
Comparing bimedial rectus recession and botulinum toxin for partially accommodative esotropia
The authors present a retrospective case review to compare bimedial rectus recession and botulinum toxin injection to the medial recti. This study was possible due to the different first-line preferences of the individual surgeons within the team. Inclusion criteria were...
Retrospective review of visual outcomes in Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH)
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a clinical syndrome characterised by headache and papilloedema that can lead to significant visual morbidity. IIH is diagnosed by the modified Dandy criteria, which include normal neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition, high CSF opening...
Visual prognosis in Irish Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy
Leber’s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is an inherited optic neuropathy This paper presents a retrospective review of clinical data from patients with LHON presenting to an Irish tertiary referral ophthalmic hospital. Clinical and genetic characteristics were assessed for useful biomarkers...
Assaying acetylcholine receptor antibodies in the diagnosis of ocular myasthenia
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease that leads to impaired neuromuscular transmission. Solely ocular manifestations of MG (OMG) occur in 15-50% of cases, most frequently in the form of fluctuating ptosis and diplopia. Most cases of OMG convert later...
Efficacy of combined vitrectomy with intravitreal corticosteroid injection for ERM
In this study the authors evaluated the efficacy of vitrectomy combined with corticosteroid injection for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM). A systematic literature review was conducted by searching three electronic databases, PubMed, Embase and Medline, up to 2020 for relevant studies....
Predicting ischemic lesion location using perimetry
The authors present a retrospective records review, using the search terms homonymous hemianopia, visual field loss and MRI. Only posterior circulation artery territory ischemic strokes were included. Demographics, stroke details and initial and follow-up with 24-2 SITA Standard perimetry results...
Sensorimotor outcomes following paediatric ocular trauma
A retrospective assessment of sensorimotor outcomes was conducted in paediatric patients after ocular trauma to evaluate potential predictors of poor outcome including time of treatment deprivation, Paediatric Ocular Trauma score (POTS) and patient characteristics. The review was from 2006-2020 and...
Significant associations to presence of significant retinal haemorrhages in suspected child abuse
The authors aimed to extract statistically significant associations between non-ocular clinical and diagnostic imaging findings and the presence of significant retinal haemorrhages, and then develop an evidence-based screening algorithm to determine when to consult an ophthalmologist in suspected child abuse...
Choroid changes in amblyopic, fellow and control eyes
In this study the authors aimed to evaluate choroidal changes in the hyperopic anisometropic eyes of children by comparing amblyopic and fellow eyes, and control eyes, using a binarization method – analysis of enhanced depth imaging with OCT (EDI-OCT) using...
FEVR characteristics
