Ancient Egypt to modern ophthalmology: via Otago, New ZealandEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The purpose of this report is to document the contribution of two New Zealanders, Barrie Jones and Rowland Wilson, to the development of modern ophthalmology. Their related contribution was made over a period of 80 years; it began in Egypt with Wilson, developed when they worked together in Dunedin and where they created the foundations for the brilliant career that Jones was to go on to in London. Their story emphasizes the impact of teaching and mentorship. It highlights the extended reach of teaching and the power of continuity in research. (Source: Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology)

Pythium insidiosum keratitis in an Australian childEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A 3-year-old girl from the Northern Territory developed suppurative keratitis after swimming in pools. A mycelial organism suspected to be Pythium insidiosum was cultured. Treatment with polyhexamethylene biguanide and voriconazole for 5 days was unsuccessful, and a corneal graft was performed. The infection was cleared and when last seen 14 months after surgery the patient had a stable graft and useful vision. The identification of the organism was confirmed by rRNA gene sequencing. P. insidiosum is an oomycete, an organism more closely related to kelp than to fungi. Masses of hyphae were seen in sections and, for the fir...

Management of exudative retinal detachment in choroidal melanomaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Exudative retinal detachment is the most common source of visual loss associated with malignant melanoma of the uveal tract. Management has historically been conservative, leading to irreversible visual loss from photoreceptor damage during the several months needed for post-radiation resolution. The purpose of this paper is to describe timely vitreoretinal surgical intervention for exudative retinal detachments associated with choroidal melanomas. This was an interventional case series including six consecutive patients with malignant melanoma who experienced VA reduction secondary to associated exudative retinal detachme...

To present the outcomes of various retinal conditions treated with the sutureless 25-gauge (25G) vitrectomy technique. Retrospective case review of 232 eyes of 228 patients who underwent 25G vitrectomy from January 2003 to August 2006. Follow-up was a minimum of 3 months. Indications for surgery included idiopathic macular hole, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, epiretinal membrane and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Main outcome measures included final visual acuity, re-operation rate and surgical complications such as endophthalmitis, hypotony and retinal (re)detachment. For all cases, the mean overall visual acuity...

Patients' preferences for positioning during phaco-emulsification under topical-intracameral anaesthesiaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
In many eye departments it is routine to ask patients to lie completely flat for cataract surgery. However, many patients prefer not to lie completely flat, if given the choice. It is our practice to ensure patients are in a comfortable position before commencing surgery. We conducted a prospective observational study of our routine practice comprising 125 consecutive cataract operations conducted by a single surgeon with local anaesthesia (occasional phaco under general anaesthetic was not included). All patients were initially positioned lying flat on the reclining chair and were given the option of staying in that posit...

New era for personalized medicine: the diagnosis and management of age-related macular degenerationEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It can be argued that age-related macular degeneration is one of the best characterized complex trait diseases. Extensive information related to genetic and environmental risk factors exists, and a number of different biological pathways are strongly implicated in its aetiology. Along with recent improvements in high throughput and relatively inexpensive genetic technologies, we are now in a position to consider developing a presymptomatic, personalized approach towards the assessment, management and treatment of this disease. We explore the applicability and challenges of this approach if it is to become commonplace for g...

Purpose: To determine the cataract surgical coverage and investigate the barriers to cataract surgery in the Kandy District of central Sri Lanka.Methods: A population-based, cross-sectional ophthalmic survey of the inhabitants of rural villages in central Sri Lanka was conducted; there were 1721 eligible subjects and 1375 participated (79.9% participation rate). The recorded data included age, gender, education, district, corrected visual acuity, dilated slit-lamp examination and stereoscopic fundus examination. Lens opacity was graded using the Lens Opacities Classification System III. Participants with cataract-induced v...

Conclusion: The introduction of genetic testing, largely via disease arrays, has been highly successful at clarifying disease genotype in our cohort.
