Choroidal changes and association with Gaussian curvature in high myopic eyes with posterior staphyloma in ultra‐wide‐field optical coherence tomography angiography

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate choroidal changes in high myopic (HM) patients with posterior staphyloma (PS) and explore their association with Gaussian curvature (K) using ultra‐wide‐field optical coherence tomography angiography (UWF‐OCTA). Methods HM patients with wide macular PS (Type I PS) and without any PS (control) were recruited.

Genetic diversity of Acanthamoeba and clinical outcome predictors in Danish patients with Acanthamoeba keratitis

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is a severe corneal infection with potential detrimental effects on visual outcome and quality of life, primarily affecting young contact lens wearers. We report Acanthamoeba genotypes, subtypes and clinical outcome from Danish patients with AK. Methods Thirty‐nine PCR‐positive AK cases diagnosed and treated

Epidemiology of keratoconus

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013
Prevalence of keratoconus is variable in different parts of the world. Environmental and ethnic factors and the cohort of patients selected for such studies may explain the wide variation in the reported rates. Family history, gender differences, asymmetry in the two eyes, association with ocular rubbing, and natural history of disease are discussed.

Eyes Offshore: Reporting the Eye Health Needs of Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Australia's Offshore Detention Centres

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In the last two decades, over 250 000 refugees and asylum seekers have arrived in Australia, many of whom experience significant health problems. Information about their eye health is scarce, particularly for those detained offshore. This is the first study to explore the eye health and services available to this population, helping
