Dose-Related Visual Outcomes in the Treatment of Choroidal Melanoma with Stereotactic Radiotherapy.

Introduction: Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) in the treatment of choroidal melanoma (CM) may be indicated if the tumour is located close to the optic nerve or is unsuitable for a radiotherapeutic plaque. It is thought that the rate of visual decline and ocular sequelae with SRT is influenced by dose and location of radiation in relation to important visual structures. This study therefore aimed to look at these prognoses with respect to localisation and dose of radiation when treatment of CM with SRT occurs.

Importance: Ocular injury is a common, preventable cause of temporary and permanent disability.

Background: The current study evaluates the nationwide incidence, demographics and visual outcomes of adults with ocular injury in New Zealand.

Design: Nationwide retrospective review.

New Zealand childhood ocular trauma study: Analysis of 75 601 cases of ocular injury from 2007 to 2016.

Importance: Childhood ocular injury is a common, preventable cause of potentially severe permanent disability.

Background: This study evaluates the nationwide incidence, demographics and visual outcomes of children with ocular injury in New Zealand.

Design: Nationwide retrospective review.
