Background
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence, timing and risk factors of corneal neovascularisation (NV) after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) for corneal ectasia.
Methods
This study included 616 eyes who underwent DA…
Purpose
To compare outcomes of primary trabeculectomy using either mitomycin C (MMC) alone versus MMC augmented with intracamerular bevacizumab in patients with open-angle glaucoma.
Methods
Retrospective, cohort, two-centre, comparative study. Patien…
Purpose
To assess whether alterations in stromal keratocyte density are related to loss of corneal nerve fibres in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
Methods
Twenty participants with T1DM and 20 age-matched healthy controls underwent corn…
Background/aims
Congenital cataracts, which are genetically heterogeneous eye disorders, result in visual loss in childhood around the world. CRYBA1/BA3 serves as an abundant structural protein in the lens, and forms homomers and heteromers to maintai…
Background
The aetiology of keratoconus (KC) remains poorly understood. KC has typically been described as a non-inflammatory disorder of the cornea. Nonetheless, there is increasing presumptive evidence for the role of the immune system in the pathog…
Clinical and pathological risk factors for worse stage and mortality of eyelid and periocular squamous cell carcinoma (see page 1338) P63 positivity and coexpression of P63 and Ki67 predict a worse T stage and higher risks of distant metastasis and mo…
Background/aims
To investigate the long-term outcomes of cultivated oral mucosal epithelial transplantation (COMET) for fornix reconstruction in eyes with chronic cicatrising disease.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study involved 16 eyes of 15 pat…
Background/Aims
The COVID-19 has facilitated a paradigm shift in the sphere of ophthalmic telemedicine: its utility is no longer limited to providing care to remote regions, rather it is expeditiously being adopted as the new standard of care. The aim…
Background
The clinical and pathological risk factors for worse T stage and prognosis in eyelid and periocular squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) remain unclear. P63 was reported to predict a worse prognosis in other SCCs; however, this correlation was n…
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) have been used for many decades in the treatment of glaucoma. Systemic CAIs were an early treatment option to lower intraocular pressure by reducing aqueous humour production; however, frequent side effects includi…
