120
(ab) A scanning laser ophthalmoscope (Heidelberg) picture of the optic nerve head. The thin green circle in (b) outlines the optic nerve head, allowing the machine to calculate the area of the cup (red in (a)) and neuroretinal rim in different sectors of the disc. (c) An OCT of the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL).
121
An OCT of the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL). The scan measures the thickness of the RNFL at a uniform distance from the centre of the optic disc (the outer red circle on the left-hand image). This is then converted to a straight line and compared to an agematched population and shown graphically (lower right-hand picture). The lower red area of the graph indicates an RNFL that is likely to be abnormally thin (arrowed). The two diagrams of the optic nerve on the left show the area of abnormal RNFL as it relates to the optic nerve.
122
The optic disc picture shows a focal defect of the neuroretinal rim inferiorly (arrowed). This corresponds to the thinning of the RNFL shown on the scan (arrows).
123
The characteristic pattern of visual field loss in chronic open-angle glaucoma. Visual field of the right eye. (a) An upper arcuate scotoma, reflecting damage to a cohort of nerve fibres entering the lower pole of the disc (remember - the optics of the eye determine that damage to the lower retina creates an upper field defect). A nasal step is another classical glaucomatous field defect. (b) The field loss has progressed: a small central island is left (tunnel vision), and sometimes this may be associated with sparing of an island of vision in the temporal field.
124

125
How is neovascular (rubeotic) glucoma treated?
## Footnote
Occurs secondary to retinal ischaemia often
anti-VEGF intravitreal injection - causes new vessels on the iris to shrink
This is followed by pan-retinal photocoagulation to reduce VEGF production by the ischaemic retina.

134
The formation of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. (a) The detaching vitreous has torn the retina; the vitreous continues to pull on the retina surrounding the break (vitreous traction). (b) Fluid from the vitreous cavity passes through the break, detaching the neuroretina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium.
135
The clinical appearance of a retinal detachment. Note the retinal tear (arrowed). The retina has completely detached.
136
What is the treatment of choice in a retinal detachment?
Internal approach (vitreoretinal surgery)
137
The repair of a retinal detachment. (a) External approach: a silicone sponge has been sutured to the globe to indent the sclera over the retinal break following drainage of the sub-retinal fluid and application of cryotherapy. (b) Sagittal section of the eye showing the indent formed by the silicone sponge: the retina is now reattached and traction on the retinal break by the vitreous is relieved. (c) Internal approach: following removal of the vitreous gel and drainage of subretinal fluid an inert fluorocarbon gas has been injected into the vitreous cavity.

153
d + e
Proliferative retinopathy: new vessels have formed on the retina, their presence demonstrated by leakage of fluorescein (hyperfluorescence) on the fluorescein angiogram; closure of some of the retinal capillary network is demonstrated by its failure to fill with fluorescein (dark appearance on the angiogram).
154

170
What type of squint is this?
Right, non-paralytic divergent squint. (a) The right eye is divergent in the primary position of gaze (looking straight ahead). (b) When the eyes look to the left, the angle of deviation between the visual axes of the two eyes (the lines passing through the points of fixation and the foveolae) is unchanged. The same is the case on looking to the right.
171
What type of squint is this?
Left sixth nerve palsy with paralysis of the left lateral rectus (paralytic squint). (a) With the eyes looking to the right, the visual axes are aligned, there is no deviation between the visual axes of the two eyes. (b) With the eyes looking to the left (the field of action of the left lateral rectus), the left eye is unable to move past the midline as the left lateral rectus is paralysed. This results in a large angle convergent squint.
172

173
left convergent squint: right eye fixing
174
a right divergent squint: left eye fixing. Note the position of the light reflection in each eye.
175
The principles of squint surgery.
**(a) Recession**. The conjunctiva has been incised to expose the medial rectus muscle. The muscle is then disinserted and moved backwards on the globe.
**(b) Resection**. Following exposure of the muscle, the anterior tendon and muscle are resected, thus shortening them; the muscle is then reattached to its original position.
176
Left third nerve palsy left lid elevated by examiner: note the dilated pupil and ptosis as well as the limitation of eye movement.
177

202
**Rhabdomyosarcoma**. The right eye is proposed compared to the left when looking down at the child's face from above.
203
Preseptal cellulitis - the lid is swollen but the conjunctiva is white, eye movements full and there is no evidence of optic nerve compromise when the child is examined, differentiating it from orbital cellulitis where the eye appears inflamed, proptosed and eye movements grossly restricted.
