Analysis of microbial keratitis incidence, isolates and in-vitro antimicrobial susceptibility in the East of England: a 6-year study.

Background/objectives: To report the incidence, microbiological profile and in-vitro antimicrobial susceptibilities of microbial keratitis (MK) in the East of England (EoE) over a 6-year period.

Subjects/methods: A retrospective study of patients diagnosed with MK who underwent corneal scraping at participating trusts, within the EoE, between 01/01/2015-01/07/2020. Analysis was performed on MK isolate profiles, in-vitro anti-microbial sensitivities and trends over time.

Assessment of a new averaging algorithm to increase the sensitivity of axial eye length measurement with optical biometry in eyes with dense cataract.

Purpose: To assess the capability of new software to decrease the proportion of eyes that have insufficient signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in optical biometry.

Setting: Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, United Kingdom.

Design: Evaluation of diagnostic test or technology.

Familial aplasia of the inferior rectus muscles.

Purpose: We describe inferior rectus aplasia in three members of a family. No family member showed signs of craniofacial dysostosis syndromes or neurofibromatosis.

Patients And Findings: A woman with abnormal head posture, right exotropia, and right hypotropia presented to our clinic.
