Abstract Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare aggressive intraocular tumour with a propensity for liver metastases, occurring in ∼50% of patients. The tumour suppressor BAP1 is considered to be key in UM progression. Herein, we present the largest study to date investigating cellular expression patterns of BAP1 protein in 165 UMs, correlating these patterns ...

Uveal melanoma is a frequently metastasizing intraocular tumour. We detected GNAQ or GNA11 Q209 mutations in the plasma of 9 out of 22 metastasized patients using ultradeep sequencing (2–38% mutant reads). The results show that ultradeep amplicon sequencing can be used to detect tumour DNA in plasma of metastasized uveal melanoma patients.

The effectiveness of early lens extraction with intraocular lens implantation for the treatment of primary angle-closure glaucoma (EAGLE): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. Although primary open-angle glaucoma is more common, primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is more likely to result in irreversible blindness.

Intraocular light scatter as modeled through a stratified medium [PDF]
Intraocular light scatter is modeled through a stratified medium. It is shown that the eye lens possesses properties of an interference filter. In conditions that may mimic opacification, as found with cataract formation, such a filter may have stop ...
