We are pleased to present the latest edition of touchREVIEWS in Ophthalmology. In this issue, we offer a series of engaging editorials, in-depth review articles and insightful original research highlighting some of the latest breakthroughs, innovations and practical insights in ...
Thyroid eye disease (TED) is an autoimmune condition that can lead to significant visual impairment, facial disfigurement and decreased quality of life. It affects 16 out of every 100,000 females and 2.9 out of every 100,000 males. Risk factors for TED include age, female ...
Welcome to volume 15, issue 1 of touchREVIEWS in Ophthalmology, formerly US Ophthalmic Review. The decision to change the title of the journal has been taken after a great year for touchOPHTHALMOLOGY, and we feel that in an increasingly global research community, ...
An abnormal protrusion of the eyeball, beyond the boundaries of the bony orbit, is termed ‘proptosis’. A similar appearance, seen in endocrine dysfunction, especially thyroid disorders, is called ‘exophthalmos’. These conditions are frequently encountered in clinical practice, and for students, ...
Orbital inflammation can result from a number of inflammatory conditions including dacryoadenitis, myositis, cellulitis, optic perineuritis, periscleritis, orbital apicitis, thyroid eye disease (TED), and a focal mass.1 It may present as acute, subacute, or chronic disease and has a wide ...
Introduction In the recently updated Dry Eye WorkShop DEWS II report, dry eye is defined as a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface characterized by loss of homeostasis of the tear film, accompanied by ocular symptoms, tear film instability, hyperosmolarity, ...
The past decade has seen a number of important advances in the management and understanding of corneal disease. Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is a technique that combines ultraviolet (UV) light and the chromophore, riboflavin, to stiffen and strengthen the cornea. The ...
Dry eye disease (DED) is a common ocular condition with a high impact on visual function and quality of life.1 However, DED is one of the most misdiagnosed diseases because of a delay in symptoms and clinical signs, and the ...
Oculoplastic surgeons are often faced with the diagnostic dilemma of abnormal tissues within the orbit and adnexal structures. In many cases, the associated signs, symptoms and radiological appearances allow a tentative differential diagnosis to be formulated. However, most often, diagnostic ...
The International Dry Eye Workshop Dry Eye Workshop (DEWS) defined dry eye as “a multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of discomfort, visual disturbance and tear film instability with potential damage of the ocular ...
This research is primarily focused on the influences on enhancements in laser vision correction during the perioperative period. As surgeons we always strive to enhance technology while trying to improve outcomes. However, this study was a prospective look at what ...
Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are rarely reported, benign tumors. They are uncommon in the ocular structures. A four-year-old girl presented to us with bilateral proptosis. Subsequent radiologic and histopathologic investigations proved it to be bilateral IMT. This case report is ...
Dry Eye Classification The arena of dry eye disease (DED) has become its own area of expertise, requiring a thorough knowledge of the etiologic, diagnostic, and therapeutic options and approaches in order to achieve a pristine ocular surface. There are ...
There is now an increased recognition by clinicians that dry eye disease (DED) is a common disorder characterised by dryness and damage of the ocular surface. It affects quality of life, including aspects of physical, social and psychological functioning, because ...
Dry eye disease (DED) is a highly prevalent dysfunction of the glands producing the tears, resulting in damage to the ocular surface. However, many patients do not recognise the symptoms of DED, so more cases remain under diagnosed. Without an ...
