Widefield imaging with Clarus fundus camera vs slit lamp fundus examination in assessing patients referred from the National Health Service diabetic retinopathy screening programme.

Objectives: To compare diabetic retinopathy (DR) grading and management plan between virtual review using widefield Clarus imaging and macular optical coherence tomography (OCT) versus slit lamp clinical examination and macular OCT.

Method: New referrals over 3 months from the National Diabetic Eye Screening programme (DESP) were screened. Patients who had both Clarus widefield imaging and macular OCT were included.

Phacoemulsification Combined With Endoscopic Versus Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation in Poorly Controlled Glaucoma: A Comparative Case Series.

Objective: The objective of this study was to report medium-term outcomes of a novel combination of phacoemulsification with transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (phaco-TCP) compared with combined phacoemulsification and endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (phaco-ECP) in patients with uncontrolled or suboptimally controlled glaucoma and coexisting cataract.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective case series of 80 consecutive patients with a minimum of 12 months of follow-up. In total, 46 eyes underwent phaco-ECP and 34 phaco-TCP.

Missense variants in the conserved transmembrane M2 protein domain of KCNJ13 associated with retinovascular changes in humans and zebrafish.

Mutations in KCNJ13 are associated with two retinal disorders; Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) and snowflake vitreoretinal degeneration (SVD). We describe a novel fibrovascular proliferation in the retina of two affected members of a KCNJ13-related LCA family with a homozygous c.458C > T, p.

Quantitative and Qualitative Features of Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Provide Prognostic Indicators for Visual Acuity in Patients With Choroideremia.

Background And Objective: To identify qualitative and quantitative features of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) as prognostic indicators of visual acuity (VA) loss in patients with choroideremia (CHM).

Patients And Methods: Retrospective study of 57 male patients with CHM. Central foveal thickness (CFT), subfoveal choroidal thickness (SCT), fundus autofluorescence area, and evidence of outer retinal and choroidal degeneration were analyzed by SD-OCT.

Air entry into the anterior chamber post intravitreal injection of Eylea.

An 84-year-old man had air entry into the anterior chamber following intravitreal injection. The air bubble was reabsorbed over time without any complications. No further problems occurred with subsequent intravitreal injections.

A survey of children's reported experience in outpatient pediatric ophthalmology clinics.

Purpose: Patient-reported experience measures influence contemporary health care. To monitor the experience of children in health care, some inherent difficulties must be overcome. The authors sampled the opinion of children in outpatient pediatric ophthalmology clinics.

Isolated extraocular muscle abscess presenting 40 years after squint surgery.

A 57-year-old man presented with an abscess localised to the lateral rectus region. He was treated as a case of orbital cellulitis because of the presence of soft tissue swelling with a localised abscess discharging through the conjunctiva with associated reduction of visual acuity and restriction of ocular movements laterally. No specific risk factors were identified but an ultrasound scan picked up a hyperechoic signal suggestive of a foreign body within the abscess.
