Background: Inherited Retinal Diseases (IRDs) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of conditions causing progressive visual impairment, affecting approximately 5.5 million people worldwide at a prevalence of 1:3, 450. Over 280 causative genes have been i.... » Read More
Aims: To investigate the completion of ophthalmology referral request forms from the Endocrine wards at Good Hope Hospital (GHH). There is no standardised visual acuity assessment equipment available on these wards, therefore it was unlikely that these request forms wer.... » Read More
Introduction After COVID-19, the backlog of elective surgeries in the National Health Service (NHS) remains substantial, with approximately 6.26 million patients awaiting care as of December 2024 (NHS England, 2025a). Cataract surgery, the most commonly performed NHS op.... » Read More
Introduction Visual acuity (VA) is a fundamental and mandatory component of ophthalmic assessment, and documented VA testing is recommended for every patient presenting with an eye-related complaint (1). Failure to document VA is a recognised and common omission with po.... » Read More
Riboflavin Transporter Deficiency (RTD), also known as Brown-Vialetto-Van Laere syndrome, is a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder caused by pathogenic variants in SLC52A2 and SLC52A3, which encode the riboflavin transporters RFVT2 and RFVT3 (5). Ribofla.... » Read More
Glaucoma represents a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, characterized by progressive optic nerve damage that often progresses asymptomatically until significant vision loss occurs. Early detection remains critical for preventing permanent visual impairm.... » Read More
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of irreversible vision loss in the elderly population. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial, with inflammation and vascular changes playing significant roles. Understanding the association between systemic inflammato.... » Read More
Ophthalmic surgeries are microsurgeries that require fine motor skills and precision of movements. Practicing under microscope during wet lab sessions develops hand–eye coordination, removes performance anxiety, builds muscle memory, and helps attain fineness of movemen.... » Read More

Title : Why a paediatric orthoptic oncology service matters
Shenika Tailor, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust, United Kingdom
Visual impairment is a common but under-recognised complication in children with intracranial tumours, with over half of patients reportedly not receiving timely ophthalmic assessment. Tumours affecting visual pathways—such as optic pathway glioma, craniopharyngioma and.... » Read More
Title : Efficacy and safety of clamp-and-chop phacoemulsification as a standardized universal technique: A nucleus density-stratified prospective randomized controlled trial
Yingxin Qu, Inner Mongolia Chaoju Eye Hospital, China
ObjectiveThis stratified randomized controlled trial (RCT) aimed to compare the clinical value of clamp-and-chop phacoemulsification versus conventional in-situ phacoemulsification for age-related cataract (ARC) across different lens nucleus density grades. Intraoperati.... » Read More

Wang Hui, Changzhi People’s Hospital, China
Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and inflammatory modulatory effects of combining 0.01% atropine eye drops with orthokeratology (OK) lenses for controlling myopia progression and improving ocular surface health in adolescents. Methods: This retrospective .... » Read More
Title : An individualized stepwise surgical approach to complex post-traumatic hypertropia
Bai Yan, Changzhi People’s Hospital, China
Objective To describe an individualized, stepwise surgical strategy for secondary hypertropia after complex ocular trauma, emphasizing intraoperative titration of ocular alignment under local anesthesia. The patient developed progressive left hypertropia after multiple .... » Read More
Title : Analysis of pathogenic bacteria and predictors of infectious endophthalmitis after cataract surgery
Wang Feng, Changzhi People’s Hospital, China
Objective: Postoperative infectious endophthalmitis is a rare but severe complication of cataract surgery that may result in significant visual impairment. This study aimed to investigate pathogenic bacteria distribution, identify risk factors, and evaluate the predicti.... » Read More
Title : Screen time and dry eye in medical students: A chain mediation mechanism of sleep-emotion
