INTRODUCTION: The role of optometrists in glaucoma within primary and secondary care has been well described. Whilst many studies examined safety and clinical effectiveness, there is a paucity of qualitative research evaluating enablers and barriers for optometrists delivering glaucoma care. The aims of this study are to investigate qualitatively, and from a multi-stakeholder perspective whether optometric glaucoma care is accepted as an effective alternative to traditional models and what contextual factors impact upon their success...

PURPOSE: To assess the association of optic nerve sheath (ONS) infiltration, fat infiltration, and scleral enhancement with active thyroid eye disease (TED) and dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON). METHODS: Thyroid eye disease patients who had axial and coronal fat-suppressed contrast enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) imaging performed were included. Optic nerve sheath infiltration was defined by the presence of thickening and circumferential enhancement of the optic nerve sheath...

PURPOSE: To study right-angled vessels (RAV) in disease progression and macular neovascularization in type 2 macular telangiectasia (MacTel) eyes. METHODS: This retrospective image analysis study examined type 2 MacTel patients' multicolour® and OCT imaging records from January 2015 to March 2023. Age, gender, laterality, visual acuity, systemic disease, and follow-up duration were recorded. RAV characteristics were assessed using OCT and multicolour® images...

AIMS: The aim of the study is to assess non-invasive diagnostic modalities for ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) when compared to histology. METHODS: A prospective case-control study was conducted of patients presenting with conjunctival masses at a tertiary eye hospital in Johannesburg, South Africa. Patients completed an interview and had three non-invasive diagnostic tests: optical coherence tomography, impression cytology and methylene blue stain. A biopsy with histology was performed as the gold standard to confirm the diagnosis...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate refractive outcomes and associated factors after sutureless flanged intrascleral fixation of intraocular lens (SFIF-IOL). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of consecutive patients who underwent SFIF-IOL at a single centre. The prediction error (PE; difference between the achieved and target refractive error) and absolute PE (APE) were analysed. Risk factors associated with refractive surprise, defined as APE > +0...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the morphological characteristics of Bergmeister papilla (BMP), a persistent hyaloid remnant tissue, and its effects on the measurements and repeatability of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). SUBJECTS/METHODS: The subjects of this prospective cross-sectional study including 83 patients with BMP and 76 unaffected individuals, all had open-angle structures. Images, including a 5-line raster and three consecutive optic disc cube scans centred on the optic disc, were acquired using the Cirrus high-definition OCT...

INTRODUCTION: Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents may occasionally need to be considered for sight-threatening macular pathology in pregnant and breastfeeding women. This is controversial due to the dearth of data on systemic side effects for mother and child. We aimed to expand the evidence base to inform management. METHODS: Retrospective case series of pregnant and breastfeeding women treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF injections at Oxford Eye Hospital between January 2015 and December 2022...

INTRODUCTION: Glauc-Strat-Fast is a clinical tool recommended by The Royal College of Ophthalmologists to classify glaucoma patients into strata of risk for significant future sight loss and an estimate of resource requirement. The aim of this study was to map the movement of glaucoma patients across stratification boundaries on Glauc-Strat-Fast during the COVID-19 pandemic. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Glauc-Strat-Fast was applied to a consecutive sample of 100 primary open angle glaucoma patients in a backlog at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust...
