Central retinal thickness following panretinal photocoagulation using a multispot semi-automated pattern-scanning laser to treat ischaemic diabetic retinopathy: Treatment in one session compared with four monthly sessions.

Purpose: To compare central retinal thickness (CRT) after panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) with a multispot semi-automated PAttern-SCAnning Laser (PASCAL) in one session (SS-PRP) versus four monthly sessions (MS-PRP) in diabetic retinopathy.

Methods: Multicentre, prospective, randomized, single-blinded, controlled trial evaluating the noninferiority of SS-PRP versus MS-PRP for CRT measured with macular spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), with a 9-month follow-up in patients presenting severe nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (DR) or mild proliferative DR without macular oedema (ME) at baseline.

Results: Ninety-seven eyes of 97 participants with a mean age of 57.

PREGO (presentation of Graves' orbitopathy) study: changes in referral patterns to European Group On Graves' Orbitopathy (EUGOGO) centres over the period from 2000 to 2012.

Background/aims: The epidemiology of Graves' orbitopathy (GO) may be changing. The aim of the study was to identify trends in presentation of GO to tertiary centres and initial management over time.

Methods: Prospective observational study of European Group On Graves' Orbitopathy (EUGOGO) centres.

Detection of mild papilloedema using spectral domain optical coherence tomography.

Objective: To propose a method of diagnosis of mild papilloedema (PO) using peripapillary total retinal (PTR) thickness measurement by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Methods: 24 eyes in 24 patients with PO caused by increased intracranial pressure and 22 eyes in 22 normal subjects were studied. OCT high-quality fundus images were analysed and graded by three masked observers using the Modified Frisén Scale.
