Purpose: To analyze the incidence, nature, outcomes, and complications of acute chemical eye injuries, including the incidence of limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) and to compare the 2 main classifications for ocular chemical injuries: Roper-Hall (RH) and Dua.

Methods: This is a prospective, consecutive, interventional single-center study between April and October 2009 of all new patients with acute chemical eye injury presenting to the Royal Victoria Infirmary eye emergency department (EED).

Results: Of 11,683 patients who attended the EED, 98 patients (110 eyes) presented with acute chemical eye injury (60% male).

Purpose: To evaluate graft size on outcome following Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) METHODS: Consecutive patients who had undergone a DSAEK for Fuchs endothelial dystrophy (FED) and pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK) with at least 1 year of follow-up. Patients were divided into three groups according to the size of the donor trephine: <9, 9 and 9.5 mm.

Purpose: To determine the metrics of the marginal corneal vascular arcades (MCA).

Methods: The MCA and filling pattern was investigated using indocyanine green dye angiography (ICGA) in the fellow eye of patients with treated unilateral keratitis. Images were acquired using a scanning laser ophthalmoscope.

Purpose: To evaluate indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and fluorescein angiography (FA) in imaging and quantifying corneal neovascularization (CNV).

Methods: Patients with CNV were studied using a standardized protocol of color digital photography, FA, and ICGA. Images were graded independently by two observers and assessed for quality, phases of fluorescence, and leakage.

Problem: A Scottish national health service ophthalmic facility was unable to cope with increasing demand for cataract surgery.

Design: Multifaceted approach to redesign hospital space to accommodate a cataract unit; to invest in cataract nursing staff to allow more operations under local anaesthesia and as day cases; and to enhance input by general practitioners and optometrists to streamline and reduce false positive cataract referrals. A prospective audit for productivity was undertaken in 2004 (two years after the redesign) and compared against the national cataract surgery audit data for Fife from 1997.

Background: Patients are often referred to ophthalmologists with focal visual field defects on routine testing, possibly related to a potential diagnosis of glaucoma. However, examination of the individual patient's ocular characteristics as well as facial characteristics may often reveal a cause of the visual field defect.

Case Presentation: We describe a patient who was found to have a superior visual field defect on routine testing by the optician.
