A multi-modality treatment programme, where stereotactic methods were used preferentially, gave results in a consecutive series of craniopharyngiomas, not inferior to those reported after microsurgical removal. Fourty-two patients with a... more
The major objective of this study was to test the reproducibility of a new method of estimating the amount of optic disc damage in patients with glaucoma. The Disc Damage Likelihood Scale (DDLS) is based on the appearance of the... more
To examine early myopia-related optic disc and retinal changes in a Singapore Chinese adolescent sample without confounding ocular or systemic disease. Population-based cross-sectional study. Children aged 12 to 16 years at a follow-up... more
An analysis of data from the Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study (AGIS) has found eyes reported to have partial optic disc rim notching (not to the edge) at baseline to have less risk of subsequent visual field loss than eyes with no... more
Within a development project for the characterization of sputtered thin films for phase change optical disks, amorphous and crystalline phases of Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) and AgInSbTe (AIST) phase change materials have been investigated. Sputtered... more
Every clinician has at one time or another examined a patient who was misdiagnosed as having glaucoma or whose diagnosis of glaucoma was missed. Although glaucoma can exist with normal intraocular pressures, clinicians often rely on the... more
Primary open-angle glaucoma almost certainly develops in a multifactorial manner, with interplay between numerous risk factors affecting the disease. These risk factors, in addition to intraocular pressure, include a number of... more
Acute zonal occult outer retinopathy (AZOOR) is a rare disease and is part of the white dot syndrome occurring bilaterally and often asymmetrically in young healthy myopic women. Characteristic findings are distinct focal lesions of the... more
AIMTo evaluate the ability of structural parameters (as determined by retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) measurements obtained with the scanning laser polarimeter (SLP-NFA/GDx)) and functional parameters (as determined by automated... more
To determine the ability of optic nerve head (ONH) parameters measured with spectral domain Cirrus HD-OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc., Dublin, CA) to discriminate between normal and glaucomatous eyes and to compare them with the... more
In a prospective study of untreated ocular hypertension 117 eyes were non-exfoliative and 20 eyes exfoliative. The percentage of optic disc pallor was significantly larger in the exfoliative than in the non-exfoliative group, whereas no... more
The authors previously presented the results of their 2001 field investigation to rural Brazil to investigate a 336-member pedigree of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). The present work describes the yearly field investigations... more
