For this reason, some patients with macular ischaemia were excluded from studies showing the effectiveness of therapy. A considerable number of patients present with mixed pathology of macular oedema and macular ischaemia and it is often impossible to determine the degree to which ischaemia accounts for decreased vision. In this review, the authors have dealt with the specific question of whether or not there is evidence to support potential worsening of the macular perfus...

Virtual reality simulators provide a safe alternative. This study demonstrates a statistically significant decrease in simulated intraocular surgical performance with acute loss of stereopsis in potential ophthalmic training applicants. Caution is recommend in using these results to advocate stereopsis testing as a screening tool in interviews because some participants performed well despite an absence of stereopsis.

The type of surgical repair did not influence overall success rates. Significant predictors of failure are the presence of preoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy of any grade and the extent of detachment. The analytical value of current classification systems in predicting failure is most useful in complex RRDs.

Epidemiological studies in paediatric diabetic patients together with data from the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial have demonstrated the importance of glycaemic control in delaying or preventing the development of DR; thus, the incidence of DR has declined somewhat over the past two decades. Both prepubertal and postpubertal years with diabetes contribute to the overall probability of DR development. In addition to duration of disease and degree of glycaemic control, other risk factors for DR development include elevated blood pressure, lipid...

It avoids extended blunt dissections and has fewer postoperative leg complaints with less haemorrhage-haematoma formation or muscle prolapsus. It is useful at any age, especially in small children who already have a limited amount of delicate fascia lata and may be preferred when a fasciotome or videoendoscope is not available or fails to harvest sufficient material of fascia lata.

Very few therapies exist for chronic CSR, and the existing therapies are often ineffective. Thus, novel therapies to combat this frustrating disorder are needed. Presented here is a case detailing a patient with chronic CSR with persistent subfoveal fluid of 2 years' duration that completely resolved with 1 month of oral rifampin therapy. As a cytochrome P450, 3A4 inducer, rifampin is thought to favourably alter the metabolism of endogenous steroids, thereby leading to an improvement in CSR manifestations.

Approximately one in eight demonstrated a heritable risk for further visceral malignancy through failure to express DNA mismatch repair proteins. Diagnosis of periocular sebaceous cell carcinoma should prompt physicians to search for other associated malignancies. Immunohistochemical characterisation of these sebaceous lesions is useful in identifying increased risk in affected patients and family members.

Oil red O binding neutral lipid represents a major age-related deposition in the Bruch membrane (BrM) and the first identified druse component. Decades after these seminal observations, a natural history of neutral lipid deposition has been articulated and a biochemical model proposed. Results obtained with multiple biochemical, histochemical, and ultrastructural methods, and supported indirectly by epidemiology, suggest that the RPE secretes apolipoprotein B (apoB)-lipoprotein particles of unusual composition into BrM, where they accumulate with age ev...

Its transparency is essential for vision. Corneal neovascularisation is a common clinical problem with serious consequences for vision; it can compromise corneal transparency and plays a major role in corneal graft rejection by breaching corneal immune privilege. In this review, we formulate a consensus on the unmet medical needs in the management of corneal neovascularisation and outline a framework for the clinical research that is needed to identify suitable agents to meet these needs.

Corticosteroids are used as first-line therapeutic agents for problematic infantile haemangiomas. Other options include interferon-α and vincristine, which present problematic side effects. In our series, propanolol was shown to inhibit haemangioma tumour growth with a better benefit/risk ratio. In the absence of any randomised study comparing the effects of systemic corticosteroids and propanolol, we propose that beta-blockers could be used as first-line therapy for severe periocular haemangiomas.

We reviewed a case report of a 10-year-old girl who was referred with an intraocular tumour. This tumour consisted of a coccidioidomycosis infection in the eye. The eye was blind and painful so it was removed.

Studies showed that oxidative damage, chronic inflammation of the RPE and complement misregulation work at different steps of this disease. After established neovascularisation, several pro- and antiangiogenic agents start to play an important role. Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) are the most specific and potent regulators of angiogenesis, which are inhibited by intravitreal injections of ranibizum...

This may be considered as a step prior to limbal stem cell and corneal transplantation in these patients.
