Handheld fundus cameras are portable and cheaper alternatives to table-top counterparts. To date there have been no studies comparing feasibility clinical utility of handheld devices. We compare the four cameras/retinal imaging devices (Remidio NMFOP, Volk Pictor Plus, iNview, oDocs visoScope) a camera (Zeiss VisucamNM/FA).Healthy participants (n = 10, mean age ± SD 21.0 0.9 years) underwent photography with five assess success/failure rates image acquisition. Participants optic disc...
To present clinical results regarding the treatment of patients with age-related macular degeneration (neovascular form) after implementation a 'virtual' type follow-up in single retina service centre.Retrospective study based on records Leicester Royal Infirmary Retina department. Two periods were compared, 2-year period 2011-2012 and following one 2012-2013 when clinics model applied Primary outcomes as follows: time between two appointments, or number significant (>15 letters) improvement...
To report a case of bilateral Herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) masquerading as peripheral ulcerative (PUK).A 47-year-old female complaining painful red eyes with history arthritis and anterior uveitis attacks positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA). Biomicroscopy revealed PUK, stromal infiltrations central corneal epithelial erosions. Slit-lamp examination disclosed +3 chamber cells in both eyes.Blood testing was for ANA. virus (HSV) antigen identified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The...
Background: To determine the adjunctive 24-h efficacy obtained with brinzolamide/timolol, or brimonidine/timolol fixed combinations (FCs) in open-angle glaucoma patients insufficiently controlled on travoprost monotherapy. Methods: Prospective, observer-masked, active controlled, crossover, comparison. Qualified primary exfoliative a baseline intraocular pressure (IOP) >18 mm Hg at 10:00 monotherapy were randomized for 3 months to either FC therapy adjunct travoprost. Patients then...
Background: To report a case of patient with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and associated peripheral corneal ulceration. Case Report: A 60-year-old woman RA diagnosed 15 years ago, under immunosuppressive therapy (IV abatacept 250 mg/month), demonstrated blurring vision in her RE (right eye). Visual acuity was 6/10 the 10/10 LE. Slit lamp examination revealed paracentral superior melt RE. Anterior chamber reaction 2+. Laboratory investigations positive anti-Ro anti-La, anti-Extractable Nuclear...
It is hypothesized that using fluocinolone acetonide (FAc) implants such as Iluvien for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME) may reduce total number intravitreal injections and clinic visits, resulting in an overall cost reduction. The primary aim this study to identify real-world savings achievable a tertiary National Health Service (NHS) hospital.A retrospective analysis was conducted. inclusion criteria were patients with refractory DME who switched Iluvien. average yearly costs...
To study the incidence and risk factors for retinal pigment epithelium tears following intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections.Retrospective longitudinal study. 4027 anti-VEGF injections in 628 patients (676 eyes) choroidal neovascularisation associated with age related macular degeneration a period of 18 months were studied.Seventeen (mean 83.95±5.84) developed tears. The rate was 0.4%. Fibrovascular detachment (PED) previously observed all cases. In 88 %...
Purpose . To report a case of Alternaria alternata keratitis in patient with corneal transplant her right eye due to bullous pseudophakic keratopathy. Methods A 66-year-old female underwent full-thickness keratoplasty Three weeks after keratoplasty, epithelial edema and stromal opacity an infiltrate development peripheral opacities appeared. The diagnosis was made. Results second the melting as result fungal infection. She also given combined antifungal treatment locally systematically....
A 64-year-old woman presented with a medial canthal mass in her left eye, which was accompanied only by mild epiphora. There no history of dacryocystitis, bloody tears, midfacial trauma or surgery. Physical examination showed non-inflammatory, subcutaneous, immobile below the level tendon. Lacrimal irrigation demonstrated blockage at nasolacrimal duct. CT revealed non-enhancing, low density, cystic lesion inferomedial aspect orbit without bony erosion, compatible an idiopathic acquired...
To present a case series of three female patients with punctate inner choroidopathy. We report the outcomes after an essentially long follow-up period up to 14 years and provide evidence effectiveness intravitreal injections bevacizumab dexamethasone 0.7 mg in choroidopathy choroidal neovascular membrane formation.This is retrospective who were treated anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agent (bevacizumab, 1.25 mg/0.05 mL). Two also received mg. Once developed, outcome was poor...
To investigate treatment outcomes after switching from ranibizumab to aflibercept intravitreal injections in patients with macular oedema (MO) secondary branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).Eligible refractory MO BRVO, post a minimum of three at 4-weekly intervals were recruited. Suboptimal or non-responders defined as who had persistent intraretinal fluid (< 75% decrease baseline) despite consecutive injections. These switched on an as-needed basis. The primary study assessed trends...
A 16-year-old Caucasian female with a 6-month history of decreased visual acuity and metamorphopsia in the left eye is reported. The fundus revealed well defined lesion macula region. Diagnosis choroidal osteoma was established using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine green (ICG), B-scan ultrasonography. Subretinal fluid (SRF) retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) detachment were noted absence obvious classic neovascularisation (CNV)....
An 81-year-old Caucasian man with a history of chronic bilateral panuveitis associated sarcoidosis presented visual acuity 1.0 LogMAR in the right and 0.5 left eye. Following fluoroscein angiogram choroidal neovascular membrane was established. Treatment initiated course 3 monthly intravitreal injections ranibizumab mg 0.05 mL bilaterally; oral prednisolone 30 mg/day on tapering doses controlled ocular inflammation prior to treatment injections. additional two were administered Fibrotic...
