A Survey of Neonatal Nurses on Mydriatic Regimens Used in Neonatal Retinopathy of Prematurity Eye Examinations.

Objective: This study was aimed to determine mydriatic regimen(s) used in neonatal units in Aotearoa, New Zealand (NZ), and Australia and to estimate the frequency of adverse drug events following mydriatic administration in preterm neonates.

Study Design: A cross-sectional survey was sent to neonatal nursing staff listed in the Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network contact list. Participants were asked to state what mydriatic regimen they use, and to estimate the frequency of adverse drug events when eye drops were administered for retinopathy of prematurity eye examinations (ROPEE).

Randomised controlled pilot trial comparing low dose and very low- dose microdrop administration of phenylephrine and cyclopentolate for retinopathy of prematurity eye examinations in neonates.

Aims: To determine ifVery low dose mydriatic eye microdrop regimen sufficiently dilates the pupil (above 4.1 mm) compared with the currently used low dose mydriatic eye microdrop regimen.Cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and respiratory adverse effects occur following eye drop instillation.

On the use of a new monocular-indirect ophthalmoscope for retinal photography in a primary care setting.

Aim: There is consensus among general practitioners regarding the difficulty of direct ophthalmoscopy. Hence, there is increasing interest in smartphone-based ophthalmoscopes; the New Zealand-made oDocs Nun ophthalmoscope is one such device, released in November 2018. This study aims to subjectively assess the quality of the images captured with it in order to determine the feasibility of its use in a primary care setting.

Diabetic retinopathy screening using deep neural network.

Importance: There is a burgeoning interest in the use of deep neural network in diabetic retinal screening.

Background: To determine whether a deep neural network could satisfactorily detect diabetic retinopathy that requires referral to an ophthalmologist from a local diabetic retinal screening programme and an international database.

Design: Retrospective audit.

Microvascular Decompression of the Optic Nerve for Paroxysmal Phosphenes and Visual Field Deficit.

Background: Microvascular decompression surgery is standard neurosurgical practice for treating trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm. Most other cranial nerves have been decompressed for paroxysmal intermittent hyperactivity of the affected cranial nerve or in very long-standing compressions to treat cranial nerve hypofunctioning.

Case Description: We describe a case of intermittent paroxysmal unilateral phosphenes (i.
