Parental Home Vision Testing of Children During Covid-19 Pandemic.

Background: The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated social distancing restrictions, which placed limitations on access to ophthalmic care to only those who had an imminent risk of sight loss. All other face-to-face consultations were converted to telephone consultations or were postponed. We investigated whether parents were able to test their child's vision using available home vision testing applications, with an aim to aid decision making during a telephone consultation.

Long-term Efficacy of Mitomycin C Augmented Trabeculectomy in a Mixed Pediatric Glaucoma Cohort.

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of Mitomycin C-augmented trabeculectomy in a mixed, tertiary-referral, pediatric glaucoma cohort.

Routine Orthoptic-led Paediatric Fundus Digital Imaging: Benefits to Patients and Healthcare System.

Aims: Dilated fundus examinations are a vital, yet time-consuming and sometimes distressing part of paediatric ophthalmology examinations. Limited resources, personnel and time can result in prolonged waiting time and increase risk from delayed diagnosis and treatment. Using a Nikon D80 TopCon TRC-NW6S non-mydriatic fundus camera (TopCon (GB) Ltd, Newbury), we aimed to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of orthoptic-led fundus digital imaging and the potential time and cost benefits to the healthcare system.
