Mini DMEK for acute hydrops
This is a retrospective analysis of three patients who underwent mini DMEK for massive corneal hydrops in acute keratoconus. DMEK graft was trephined or trimmed according to the size and the shape of the gap in the patient’s Descemet membrane...Cavernous sinus syndrome
Anatomically the cavernous sinus is a plexus of multiple veins that are connected and within this plexus there are several important vascular and neurological structures. These include cranial nerves III, IV, V1 (and sometimes V2), VI as well as the...Networking in ophthalmology and ophthalmic imaging
Whether virtually or in real life, networking can expand our horizons. Rosalyn Painter takes a look at how it has influenced her own career. It is easy to forget the importance of networking, especially in the current climate; as imagers...“Steel True, Blade Straight”
Steven Kerr of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh explores the medical career of Arthur Conan Doyle, his relationship with his mentor Joseph Bell and his fascination with ophthalmology. Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh on the...
Cataract surgery in small adult eyes
This is a retrospective audit of a five year study period, between the periods of January 2006 to December 2010, where a surgical log book search was performed. The inclusion criteria of this study were intraocular lenses (IOL) power greater...RNIB introduces ground-breaking framework for Low Vision care
The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) is launching the development of a landmark set of guidelines and framework to help low vision clinics provide best practice care, which it will unveil today at a launch event at its state-of-the-art Low Vision Centre in the charity’s headquarters in London.
Sequential scleral fixated IOL followed by DSAEK better than simultaneous approach
This prospective randomised comparative study compared a simultaneous approach of combined scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SF IOL) and Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) compared to intrascleral haptic fixation technique, followed by DSAEK in a sequential fashion with an interval of at...
Fixation target position for increased limbus measurement accuracy with AS-OCT
The authors intended to determine the optimal gaze fixation points for lateral rectus and medial rectus muscle insertions using anterior segment - optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) compared with intraoperative measurements. They recorded 46 lateral and 36 medial rectus muscles from...
Surgery technique for subluxation in Marfan syndrome
The authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of bimanual capsulorrhexis combined with sutureless scleral-fixated IOL implant in children with Marfan syndrome. Seven children (14 eyes) with subluxated lenses underwent bilateral surgery; four female, three male with mean age of 7.1...
Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) with anterior chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL) versus secondary posterior chamber lens (PCIOL)
This is a retrospective study of 82 eyes (23 ACIOL, 59 PCIOL) with a history of either pseudophakic (PBK) or aphakic (ABK) bullous keratopathy, who had descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) with retained or secondary ACIOL, or DSAEK with...
Phakic iris clip lenses and endothelial cell loss
This retrospective observational study included long-term results on endothelial cell losses in highly myopic eyes, which underwent phakic iris-clip lens implantations. Included in the analysis were 113 eyes with mean preoperative spherical equivalent (SEQ) of -14.67 +/- 5.15 Diopters (D)....
