FA findings in treatment-naive premature infants
This retrospective study examined fluorescein angiography (FA) images of 162 eyes of 81 treatment-naive infants with retinal vascular immaturity and persistent avascular retina (PAR) despite exceeding postmenstrual age of 60 weeks. Disc diameter (DD), optic disc-to-fovea distance (FD), the length...
Transient thickening of the macular retinal nerve fibre layer in acute optic neuritis
Acute optic neuritis (ON) causes axonal degeneration, which can be quantified from the blood by neurofilament protein (Nf) levels. Within about three months, atrophy of the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) follows. However, it remains challenging to explain why there...
Inflammation and microvascular changes in diabetic retinopathy
Studies have shown that neurodegeneration and inflammation in the retina start early in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and can be present before the latter is clinically evident. The aim of this retrospective review of 99 diabetic patients was to evaluate retinal...Moorfields Education: Implementing a non-medical intravitreal injection service (19 May)
This course is for clinicians working in an ophthalmic or medical retina setting, focusing on the treatment of age-related macular degeneration, retinal vein occlusion and diabetic oedema. .
Atlas Optical Coherence Tomography of Macular Diseases and Glaucoma
The book is divided into three sections: an introduction to optical coherence tomography (OCT), the OCT in macular diseases, and glaucoma. The first section lists the currently commercially available OCT machines, then describes the techniques for acquiring OCT images using...Can OCT predict Alzheimer’s disease?
Simerdip Kaur takes a look at the latest ophthalmology-related news stories and asks which are based on facts and which are ‘fake news’. Headline: Can OCT predict Alzheimer’s disease? In 1986 Hinton et al. demonstrated evidence of optic nerve degeneration...RCOphth (The Royal College of Ophthalmologists) Management of Diabetic macular oedema: state-of-the-art
Talks will include: 1) OCT biomarkers in DMO - what adds value in clinical-decision making? - Christiana Dinah, Consultant Ophthalmologist and medical retina specialist, London 2) Debate: When should you switch treatment in DMO? versus late - Deepali Varma, Consultant...
Histopathological changes in rabbit retinitis pigmentosa
The authors report the histopathological changes of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), optic disc and optic nerve in rabbit with advanced retinitis pigmentosa (RP). RP was recreated in rabbits by using bacterial artificial chromosome transgenesis, with the purpose of increasing understanding...Optos announces new ultra-widefield colour image modality, providing additional retinal visualisation to eyecare professionals
Optos, Plc, the leading retinal imaging company, announces it is expanding the optomap® ultra-widefield (UWF™) retinal imaging modalities available with the California FA device to further assist eyecare professionals in disease management and treatment planning.
Retinal blood flow changes in glaucoma
This study examined the changes in retinal blood flow and vessel diameter after IOP reduction in high- and low-pressure glaucoma; exfoliation glaucoma (ExG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). Glaucoma progression is seen at times in eyes despite IOP reduction and changes...
