AbstractNeuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a group of hereditary childhood diseases characterized mainly by lipopigment accumulation and a multisystemic pattern of symptoms including mental retardation, seizures, motor impairment, and blindness. The mnd mouse, carrying a mutation in the Cln8 gene, has been proposed as a model of epilepsy with mental retardation (EPMR, ornorthern epilepsy). We recently showed neuronal hyperexcitability and seizure hypersusceptibility in mnd mice. To elucidate the cellular mechanisms related to hippocampal hyperexcitability, the glutamatergic transmission and the expression of postsyn...

Abstract Recent successful trials of antibodies to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in diabetic retinopathy implicate this
cytokine as a major cause of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular oedema (DME). The mechanisms which cause VEGF
to be over-expressed to cause the vasculopathy are not entirely clear. This review explores the earliest changes to the retina
in DR and the factors that predispose or prevent DR, including sleep apnoea, receptor degenerations laser treatment and VEGF
polymorphism. The review also presents the evidence that retinal hypoxia, existing in the earliest stages, ca...

We report the case of a patient diagnosed with Avellino corneal dystrophy (ACD) who developed diffuse interstitial keratitis following excimer laser insitu keratomileusis (LASIK). ACD is an autosomal dominant corneal dystrophy characterized by multiple asymmetric stromal opacities that impair vision. Accepted treatments for this condition include corneal transplantation and phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK). Our patient underwent LASIK at another institution to correct myopia. LASIK and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) are usually contraindicated in ACD for the high risk of disease recurrence and postoperative complicati...

Colobomata affected the posterior segment of 35 eyes in 18 patients. Both retinochoroidal and optic disk colobomata were bilaterally observed in 15 patients and unilaterally observed in 3 patients.

AbstractVon Recklinghausen neurofibromatosis (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder with a prevalence about 1/3,000 (1/2,000–1/5,000 in various population‐based studies). About 30–50% of cases are sporadic, resulting from a new mutation. NF1 is fully penetrant by mid‐childhood, stigmata, and medical problems (neurological, dermatological, endocrine, ophthalmological, oncological) are highly variable. Advanced paternal age (APA) has been known to increase the risk of new germline mutations that contribute to the presence of a variety of genetic diseases in the human population. The trend in developed countries has ...

ABSTRACTBackground: General adoption of the ocular surface (OS) concept has advanced the therapy of the external eye. Fresh physical findings have prompted new concepts, Examples, taken from each section of the text are: (1) Ever‐present lipid sealant bridges the palpebral fissure, capping the three‐dimensional ‘ocular surface’ sac. The muco‐aqueous pool is thus enclosed, secluded from atmosphere, evaporation mitigated. Hence, the OS is conceptually, a compartment. The term ‘dacruon’ (otherwise ‘tear film’) has been coined for the combined fluids of the ocular surface, viz: lipid film and muco‐aqueou...

Relationship between progression of visual field damage and choroidal thickness in eyes with normal‐tension glaucomaEmail this article to a colleague.

Conclusions: The decrease in the thickness of the choroid at 3 mm nasal from the fovea in normal‐tension glaucoma eyes may be associated with a progressive visual field loss. Thus, these findings suggest that choroidal abnormalities may play a role in the pathogenesis of normal‐tension glaucoma.© 2012 The Authors.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: This study has demonstrated rates of incident bilateral blindness and visual impairment among the indigenous Australian population within central Australia which are substantially higher than those from the non‐indigenous population. Services need to address the underlying causes of this incident vision loss to reduce visual morbidity in indigenous Australians living in central Australia.© 2012 The Authors.
