Bilateral Late-Onset Pigment Dispersion Syndrome following Implantable Collamer Lens Surgery: A Case Report.

Introduction: We report a case of bilateral pigment dispersion syndrome after 13 years of uncomplicated implantable collamer lens (ICL) surgery.

Case Presentation: A 53-year-old woman was referred from her optometrist to our glaucoma clinic due to early superonasal visual field loss in both eyes. She was asymptomatic with no changes in visual acuity and had undergone bilateral ICL implantation 13 years ago to correct her high myopia.

A proposed redesign of elective cataract services in Scotland - pilot project.

Background: The demand for cataract surgery is expected to increase by 25% in the next 10 years as the result of our ageing population. A new pathway is being proposed to improve efficiency by utilising the new General Ophthalmic Services code 2.9 for community optometrists in Scotland for Cataract Referral Refinement and Consenting process.

Glaucoma-service provision in Scotland: introduction and need for Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network guidelines.

Purpose: To describe the pattern of glaucoma-service delivery in Scotland and identify areas for improvement, taking into account Scottish General Ophthalmic Services (GOS) arrangements and the Eye Care Integration project, and to design Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) guidelines to refine the primary and secondary interface of glaucoma care.

Materials And Methods: A glaucoma-survey questionnaire was sent to all consultant glaucomatologists in Scotland. The design of SIGN guidelines was based on the results of the questionnaire using SIGN methodology.

Relationship between socioeconomic deprivation or urban/rural residence and visual acuity before cataract surgery in Northern Scotland.

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of socioeconomic factors on visual acuity before cataract surgery. 


Methods: The medical case notes of 240 consecutive patients listed for cataract surgery from January 1, 2010, at Grampian University Hospital, Aberdeen, were reviewed retrospectively. Patients with ocular comorbidity were excluded.

Lymphomatoid papulosis of the eyelid.

Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is a chronic papulonecrotic or papulonodular skin disease, with histological features suggestive of malignant lymphoma. It was originally described by Macauley (1968) as a "self-healing paradoxical eruption, histologically malignant but clinically benign." Unless accompanied by systemic lymphoma, most patients have no constitutional symptoms, and physical findings are limited to the skin.

Accuracy of intraocular lens power estimation in eyes having phacovitrectomy for macular holes.

Purpose: To report the accuracy of intraocular lens (IOL) power estimation in eyes having combined phacoemulsification and vitrectomy for macular holes and to compare the axial length (AL) in those eyes with that in the fellow eyes.

Setting: Calderdale Royal Hospital, Halifax, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom.

Method: The mean and standard deviation of the refractive aim, achieved refraction, and postoperative prediction error (calculated as difference between achieved refraction and refractive aim) were determined in 40 patients who had phacovitrectomy with gas tamponade for the treatment of idiopathic macular holes.

Scleral thinning after transcleral diode laser cycloablation.

Background And Objective: To highlight the occurrence of scleral thinning after transcleral diode laser cycloablation therapy.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective chart review was done of consecutive patients from the glaucoma and pediatric ophthalmology clinics of a tertiary eye care center in whom the presence of scleral thinning was noted after transcleral diode laser cycloablation therapy.

Results: Eleven eyes of 9 patients with various types of glaucoma (traumatic, congenital, juvenile, steroid induced, uveitic, and secondary angle closure) were found to have scleral thinning after undergoing transcleral diode laser cycloablation therapy for refractory glaucoma.
