Outer retinal layer thickness in glaucoma patients with horizontal hemifield visual field defects (see page 1217)

In glaucoma patients with horizontal hemifield defects, the authors observed a significant horizontal asymmetry in inner retinal layer thickness but, not in outer layer thickness as measured with optical coherence tomography.

Genetic variants in a sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter gene and age-related cataract (see page 1223)

A key variant, rs3392713, in the sodium-dependent vitamin C transporter protein gene SCLA23A1 was associated with age-related cortical cataract. There was no association with cataract in the nuclear or post-subcapsular region of the lens.

Eighteen-year prospective audit of LASIK outcomes for myopia in 53731 eyes (see page 1228)

On analysis of 53731 eyes that underwent myopic LASIK at a single centre over an 18-year period improved efficacy, refractive predictability and safety outcomes were observed while low rates of retreatment and complications were maintained.

Corneal neurotisation by great auricular nerve transfer and scleral-corneal tunnel incisions for neurotrophic keratopathy (see page 1235)

A novel technique for reinnervation of the anaesthetic cornea is presented. Sensory fibres of the ipsilateral great auricular nerve are directed via an interposition graft to the anterior corneal stroma employing scleral-corneal tunnel incisions. Early results in two patients are characterised.

Mild form of oculocutaneous albinism type 1: phenotypic analysis of compound heterozygous patients with the r402q variant of the TYR gene (see page 1239)

Whereas the most severe forms albinism may …
