Outcome of orbital decompression for disfiguring proptosis in patients with Graves' orbitopathy using various surgical proceduresEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: In Europe, a wide range of surgical approaches is used to reduce disfiguring proptosis in patients with GO. The extent of proptosis reduction depends on the number of walls removed and whether or not fat is removed. Serious complications are infrequent. Worsening of ocular motility is still a major complication, but was rare in this series after the swinging eyelid approach. (Source: British Journal of Ophthalmology)

Cataract surgery and primary intraocular lens implantation in childrenEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Discussion: Primary IOL implantation in children <=2 has been widely adopted in the UK and Ireland. There is concordance of practice with regards to surgical technique and choice of IOL model. However, there is some variation in eligibility criteria for primary IOLs: this may reflect a lack of consensus on which children are most likely to benefit. Thus, there is a need for systematic studies of the outcomes of primary IOL implantation in younger children. (Source: British Journal of Ophthalmology)

Conclusions: Retinal thickness measurement errors appear to occur less frequently with Fourier domain OCT (Cirrus OCT), but segmentation errors remain a concern, particularly in assessment of eyes with structurally complex retinal disease. With the recent release of multiple FDOCT systems, assessment of segmentation error may be an important factor in determining the relative merits of these systems.

Conclusion: Retinal thickness values were generally higher in SD-OCT analysis.

Glaucoma and Helicobacter pylori infection: correlations and controversiesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A possible association between Helicobacter pylori infection (fig 1) and eye diseases, including Sjögren syndrome, blepharitis, central serous chorioretinopathy and uveitis, has been proposed. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, after cataracts, and the leading cause of irreversible blindness, but many aspects of its pathogenesis remain unknown. H pylori infection may influence the pathophysiology of glaucoma by releasing various proinflammatory and vasoactive substances, as well as by influencing the apoptotic process, parameters that may also exert their own effects in the induction and/o...

Branched-chain fatty acids, increased in tears of blepharitis patients, are not toxic for conjunctival cells [Original articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The increase in BCFAs in the tears of blepharitis patients does not consistently participate in the conjunctival cell changes throughout the course of the disease.

Frequency of ABCA4 mutations in 278 Spanish controls: an insight into the prevalence of autosomal recessive Stargardt disease [Original articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Calculated prevalence of arSTGD based on the ABCA4 carrier frequency could be considerably higher than previous estimation. This discrepancy between observed (genotypic) and estimated (phenotypic) prevalence could be due to the existence of non-pathological or low penetrance alleles, which may result in late-onset arSTGD or may be implicated in age-related macular degeneration. This situation should be regarded with especial care when genetic counselling is given and further follow-up of these patients should be recommended. (Source: British Journal of Ophthalmology)
