A Test for Progressive Myopia and the Role of Latent Accommodation in its Development

Kodikullam V Avudainayagam, Chitralekha S Avudainayagam and Nicholas H Nguyen

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: April 10, 2015

Purpose: To determine whether those myopes who respond like hyperopes when tested with a multivergence hologram are progressive myopes and to investigate the role of latent accommodation in the development of progressive myopia. Methods: Recently, we introduced a specially designed hologram to test the vision of spectacle corrected subjects. A subject viewing through this hologram would see the real and virtual images of different test letters at various distances....

Treatment of Orbital IgG4-Related Disease

Rachel Lee, Craig A MacKinnon, Neil Aburn and Swee T Tan

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: March 31, 2015

Corticosteroids are currently the mainstay treatment for IRD but are associated with adverse side effects, recurrence on discontinuation of medication, and limited response if significant fibrosis is already present. Pentoxyphylline (POF) and α-tocopherol (AT) are anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrosing agents that can be effective in treating both the acute inflammatory and chronic firosclerosing components of IRD....

Artisan versus ICL in the same Patient: A Slight Aberration Makes a Big Difference

Isabel Signes-Soler, Tomas Moya Callejo, Jesus Gimeno Piza and Jaime Javoloy Estan

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: March 31, 2015

We report the case of a 30-year-old woman implanted with an irisfixated lens (Artisan, OPHTEC) in the right eye (RE) and with an implantable contact lens (ICL) (V4, STAAR) the left eye (LE) for the correction of high myopia. The patient complained of halos and distortion on the RE 4 years after the Artisan implantation. There was a slight superior descentration of the phakic IOL....

Congenital Retinal Macrovessel with Normal Visual Acuity: A Case Report

Harsimran K Bhatia, Shekhar Sharma and Laxminarayana P

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: March 12, 2015

Congenital retinal macrovessel is a large aberrant vessel discovered as an incidental finding. These aberrant vessels are mostly single, unilateral veins. CRMs do not affect vision unless there are associated foveolar cysts, foveal ectopic, pigmentary changes at fovea, macular haemorrhage, exudates, serous macular detachment or the macrovessel crosses the fovea. Thorough clinical evaluation and investigations are valuable in diagnosis and follow-up of such cases and aid in timely management of a...

Ricardo Romero, Ricardo Romero-Fontenlos, Almudena del Hierro, Alvaro Arbizu, Margarita Sanchez-Orgaz and Ana Romero

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: March 02, 2015

Aim: We propose the use of lamellar keratoplasty associated with nasal mucosal graft for the reconstruction of the ocular surface in multiple recurrent pterygium. Methods: Our patient had undergone four operations of nasal pterygium excision on the right eye, using different surgical procedures: simple excision, excision plus conjunctival autograft, removal plus amniotic membrane graft, excision plus mucosa oral graft plus mitomycin C....
