Rapidly progressive neovascular glaucoma following coronary artery bypass graft surgery in a patient with type 1 diabetes mellitus: a case report.

Background: Proliferative diabetic retinopathy leading to vitreous hemorrhage, tractional retinal detachment, and neovascular glaucoma is a major cause of severe sight impairment in adults of working age worldwide. Neovascular glaucoma occurs in 2.5% of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, which is difficult to treat and often leads to blindness.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of clinic-based chloral hydrate sedation versus general anaesthesia for paediatric ophthalmological procedures.

Background/aims: The inability of some children to tolerate detailed eye examinations often necessitates general anaesthesia (GA). The objective was to assess the incremental cost effectiveness of paediatric eye examinations carried out in an outpatient sedation unit compared with GA.

Methods: An episode of care cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted from a societal perspective.

Structural and functional outcomes of anaesthetic cornea in children.

Aim: To present visual and structural outcomes from the largest series to date of children with absent corneal sensation, and contribute recommendations for management.

Methods: A two-centre retrospective cohort of 33 eyes of 26 children was studied. Data regarding cause of corneal anaesthesia (CA), visual acuity (VA), complications and management were recorded.
