Importance: Projections of Australia's future burden of vision loss will inform eye health service delivery.
Background: This study aimed to forecast bilateral vision loss in Australia from 2020 to 2050.
Design: Population-based survey.
Purpose: To describe the prevalence of visually significant cataract in Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
Methods: A total of 3098 non-Indigenous Australians aged 50 years and over and 1738 Indigenous Australians aged 40 years and over, residing in 30 randomly selected Australian sites, were examined as part of the population-based National Eye Health Survey (NEHS). For those with visual acuity worse than 6/12, photos of the anterior and posterior segment were taken with a nonmydriatic fundus camera and assessed for cataract.
Purpose: To assess outcomes of the treat-and-extend (T&E) injection regimen for neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) as compared to either a monthly or a pro re nata (PRN) treatment strategy.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: Studies that compared the T&E regimen with either monthly or PRN dosing for treatment-naïve AMD were included.
Background/objectives: Paediatric melanoma is an uncommon presentation of melanoma that accounts for 3% of all paediatric cancers. The objective was to describe a series of paediatric melanoma cases presenting to a state-wide tertiary referral service over the past 19 years.
Methods: A search of the Victorian Melanoma Service database was performed to identify all patients under the age of 20 years diagnosed with melanoma from 1994 to 2013.
