Manchester's Central Convention Centre was the venue for the 2009 annual BCLA clinical conference and exhibition. Year on year the BCLA conference seems to grow and this year proved to be another astounding success. Outgoing president Sarah Janikoun welcomed incoming president William Thomas. The number of delegates was up on previous years and the scientific quality of the presentations was excellent too. As a member of the Academic, Papers and Conference organising committee of the BCLA I always am astounded when I look through the submitted abstracts early in the year. There are so many good papers to choose from but of...

Autologous fibrin glue for pterygium surgery with conjunctival autograftEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We would like to bring the Editor's attention to the use of autologous fibrin glue in the surgical management of pterygium. Tisseel Duo Quick (Baxter, Vienna, Austria) has become the routine fibrin adhesive to attach conjunctival harvested graft tissue to the exposed surface of the removed pterygium . There is the possibility that blood borne agents may be transmitted and a cost associated with fibrin glue. (Source: Contact Lens and Anterior Eye)

A preliminary investigation into the relationship between ocular surface temperature and lipid layer thicknessEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to establish the relationship between OST, tear film stability as assessed by NIBUT and subjective evaluation of the lipid layer thickness in a young, asymptomatic, sample group (N=29). Non-invasive tear break-up time (NIBUT) and tear lipid layer structure were evaluated through a slit-lamp mounted Tearscope Plus. A self-calibrating infrared thermography camera was used to record two OST values (one immediately post-blink and one immediately pre the subsequent blink). The most common lipid layer pattern observed was the amorphous pattern (48.3%). Differences between post- and pre-blink O...

Rivers and mountains may change, human nature does not! (traditional Chinese saying)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Numerous articles have concluded that contact lens practitioners need to advise and reinforce contact lens care routine to their patients. But, in spite of this repeated advice, patients continue with their non-compliant behaviours. Is it the case of the patients not following instructions or is it a problem with the practitioners? How much influence do journal articles and conference presentations have on the prescribing and advising behaviour of practitioners? Most practitioners have heard anecdotal evidence of amazing acts of non-compliance which are frequently quoted when optometrists meet, such as the patient who swal...

The use of fluorescein in contact lens aftercareEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: This short communication reports on the responses of a cohort of more than 2000 contact lens practitioners across five European countries, who were surveyed on the routine use of flourescein in soft contact lens aftercare. Although corneal staining has received extensive interest amongst the academic community, most practitioners do not routinely use fluorescein at aftercare visits. The arguments for not using the agent seem to be somewhat flawed in modern contact lens practice and it is hoped by education and wider communications of the value of staining that more practitioners use it more often.

Comparison of the effect of multipurpose contact lens solutions on the viability of cultured corneal epithelial cellsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Both MPS B and MPS D can cause large decreases in the viability of cultured corneal epithelial cells even with just a 2h exposure at multiple doses. Significant reduction in cell viability is evident at brief 15–30min exposures. In contrast, MPS A and MPS C have significantly less effect on the cell viability of corneal epithelial cells at multiple doses, after these short exposure times.

Contact lens correction of presbyopiaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract: The ageing population highlights the need to provide effective optical solutions for presbyopic contact lens wearers. However, data gathered from annual contact lens fitting surveys demonstrate that fewer than 40% of contact lens wearers over 45 years of age (virtually all of whom can be presumed to suffer a partial or complete loss of accommodation) are prescribed a presbyopic correction. Furthermore, monovision is prescribed as frequently as multifocal lenses. These observations suggest that an optimal solution to the contact lens correction of presbyopia remains elusive.

Conclusion: The use of a semi-limbal diameter lens can be an effective modality in patients with intolerance to other lens designs. However, lens modification from the standard design and the use of ocula lubricants are often required to optimise lens fit and to enhance tolerance. (Source: Contact Lens and Anterior Eye)

Rotational importance of descemet endothelial rolls used for descemet membrane endothelial keratoplastyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Corneal transplant surgery is evolving so that only the diseased part of the cornea is removed and replaced/transplanted with a similar part of the donor cornea. As opposed to the conventional full thickness penetrating keratoplasty for all corneal disease. This is particularly applicable to corneal endothelial failure where only descemet's membrane with endothelium is removed and replaced. This technique is called descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). Special techniques are being used to retrieve the donor material which is composed from descemet's membrane and endothelium only. This material forms a roll due...

Conclusions: The opportunity to try contact lenses prior to spectacle dispensing was well received by subjects who generally reported a very positive experience.

We recommend that practitioners consider offering contact lenses to all suitable patients who are proceeding to spectacle dispensing to optimise the dispensing process and to provide an opportunity to try contact lenses.

CONCLUSIONS: From 18 to 35 years, hydrogel CL wearers reported increasing struggle with CL wear and more negative ratings compared to SiHy wearers. Older hydrogel CL wearers were also more likely to consider discontinuing CL wear compared with younger hydrogel or silicone hydrogel CL wearers in general. Young adult CL wearers should be routinely queried directly about specific aspects of CL wear in order to determine whether different lens types should be prescribed to avoid abandonment of CL wear.
