- Abstract
Background: Although cosmetic contact lenses are ideally indicated for patients with corneal and iris abnormalities, they are currently fashionable among the younger generation of emmetropes to enhance their physical appearance. Cosmetic contact lens wearers carry a greater risk of microbial keratitis, even more so with counterfeit ones.Case presentation: Here, we report two cases of counterfeit cosmetic contact lens wearers with Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) who were misdiagnosed as herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis.Conclusion: AK is a sight-threatening complication among contact lens wearers. Since clinically AK may masquerade as HSV, early diagnosis of AK is often delayed. As both microorganisms can mimic each other, determining the co-existence of both infections can be challenging. Delay in initiating proper treatment can lead to blinding complications.

General Medicine - Abstract
Posterior capsular rupture (PCR) is a common and serious complication of cataract surgery. It complicates the process of inserting posterior chamber intraocular lens and affects the visual outcome. This study is a review on visual acuity of patients that had PCR during cataract surgery in Hospital Melaka, risk factors of PCR, and factors that cause poor visual outcome. The record of all patients that had PCR during cataract surgery from 1 January 2014 till 31 March 2017 was traced using National Eye Database (NED) and the patients’ folders were reviewed retrospectively. Data collected was demographic data, type of cataract surgery, status of surgeon, underlying ocular diseases, risks factors for PCR, postoperative visual acuity, and factors that cause poor visual outcome. There were 238 eyes that had PCR during cataract surgery, from 126 (53%) female and 112 (47%) male patients. The mean age was 66.62 years old, ranging from 9 to 87 years old. Major risk factors identified were hard cataract, polar cataract, uncooperative patients, extended continuous capsulorhexis, subluxated lens, myopia, vitrectomised eyes, and poor pupil dilatation. From 153 cases that had no pre-existing ocular diseases, 119 (78%) cases had normal vision (best corrected visual acuity – BCVA) two months after surgery, 10 (7%) cases had moderate visual impairment, and four (2%) cases had severe visual impairment. Causes of BCVA poorer than 6/18 were high astigmatism, CMO, and prolonged inflammation. Cataract surgery, even complicated by PCR, is compatible with good visual outcome if the complications are managed promptly.

General Engineering - Abstract
Background Badminton-related ocular injuries are among the commonest causes of blunt trauma to the eye, which can lead to significant damage to the ocular structures. This study aimed to assess the clinical presentations, complications, and visual outcomes of patients who sustained ocular injuries related to badminton treated in a single tertiary center in Malaysia. Materials and methods A retrospective clinical audit was conducted in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM), Malaysia, involving patients diagnosed with ocular injuries related to badminton, either as players or spectators, between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2017. The demographic data, mechanism of injury, and clinical presentation were recorded. In addition, visual acuity, anterior and posterior segment, and intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements were recorded at the initial presentation and at the present recruitment period. Management at the initial presentation was also obtained and recorded. The final visual outcome and complications were based on the finding of the most recent follow-up. Visual acuity was categorized as follows: mild or no visual impairment (6/18 or better), moderate and severe visual impairment (6/18 and worse). Results A total of 23 patients (23 eyes) were included in this clinical audit. The average age was 24 years, with a range of 6-56 years, with the highest incidence occurring at the age of 20 years old and younger. The majority of the injuries were sustained during the single-player game. All the injuries were caused by shuttlecock hits. In 18 cases (78%), the trauma was caused by an opponent, in four cases (17%) by a partner, and in one case involving a bystander. Most of the patients in this series were not using any protective eyewear while playing the game 96% (22). Most injuries (22 eyes) involved the anterior segment, with hyphaema as the commonest clinical presentation. The mean IOP at presentation was 23.5 (11.2) mmHg. Angle recession was detected as early as one-week post initial presentation in 17 eyes. Commotio retinae (5 eyes) and vitreous hemorrhage (4 eyes) were the common posterior segment findings. There were eight eyes with visual acuity of worse than 6/18 at the initial presentation, but only three eyes had poor final visual acuity. There was a statistically significant improvement in visual acuity at the last follow-up compared to the initial presentation (Fisher's exact test) (p=0.032). Conclusion Ocular injuries related to badminton is common and cause a detrimental effect on the long-term visual outcome. Traumatic hyphaema and commotio retinae are the most common presenting signs related to poor visual outcomes. Therefore, protective eyewear and promoting awareness of badminton-related ocular injuries are essential to prevent monocular blindness in young adults.

General Engineering - Abstract
Glaucoma is a complex disease with intraocular pressure (IOP) playing an important role in its diagnosis and management. IOP has shown diurnal and nocturnal variations, which may affect the course of the disease.The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of clinic-based office hour phasing in the diagnosis and management of glaucoma and glaucoma suspect (GS).A retrospective clinical audit was conducted on patients who were subjected to office hour phasing in a glaucoma clinic, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia, between January 2015 and December 2019. The office hour phasing was conducted for various indications such as confirmation of diagnosis, screening, and effectiveness of treatment. IOP was recorded every two hours between 0800 and 1600 using an air puff tonometer by a trained nurse. Measurement of IOP was repeated with Goldmann applanation tonometer at sitting position by a trainee when the IOP ≥ 20 mmHg or discrepancy of IOP2 mmHg between two eyes. Other investigations including a Humphrey visual field and gonioscopy were conducted in between the IOP measurements. Diagnosis and clinical decisions on management were made at the end of the office hour clinic phasing.A total of 83 patients (163 eyes) were included in this clinical audit. Their mean age was 59.3 (16.5) years with 59% of male patients. Both eyes showed an almost similar pattern of mean IOP over five daytime readings in the clinic. A total of 35 eyes (21.5%) showed fluctuation ≥ 6 mmHg, and 128 eyes (78.5%) showed stable IOP during the clinic hour phasing. There was a significant difference in the mean IOP pattern between groups with stable and fluctuating IOP based on repetitive measure analysis of variance (RM ANOVA) (p = 0.008). The final diagnosis was made for 39 eyes (21 OD [right eye] and 18 OS [left eye]) out of 131 eyes (29.8%) with GS. Confirmation of diagnosis was achieved in all eyes (100%) with suspected ocular hypertension (OHT) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). Progression of glaucoma was confirmed in four eyes (2 OD and 2 OS) out of 17 eyes (23.5%) with suspected progression.Clinic hour IOP phasing provides a practical approach in confirmation of diagnosis and adjustment in the management of patients with glaucoma and GS.

Ectopia lentis or crystalline lens subluxation is one of the major criteria to diagnose Marfan syndrome. It may vary from mild lens subluxation to lens dislocation. Herewith is a case report of a 4-year-old autistic boy who had never been diagnosed with Marfan syndrome. He presented to the clinic after his parents noticed he had difficulty focusing on near objects. His bilateral best-corrected visual acuity was 6/60. On examination, there was bilateral lens subluxation superotemporally and lens equator blocking his visual axis. He was sent to the paediatric team and further Marfan workout showed dilated aortic root. He was then diagnosed with Marfan syndrome. He underwent bilateral lens aspiration, anterior vitrectomy, and iris-claw lens implantation. His postoperative bilateral visual acuity on day 1 was 6/30 and his best-corrected visual acuity 3 months after surgery was 6/9 for both eyes. In conclusion, ophthalmologists play an important role in diagnosing and managing Marfan syndrome. Early diagnosis is important to help preserve vision and improve quality of life.

Introduction: Glaucoma is second only to cataract as a cause of blindness worldwide and Asians account for almost half the cases. Retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) assessment is an important objective method for diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma as it develops earlier than the development of visual field defects. Purpose: To estimate the proportion of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients with normal RNFL thickness (RNFLT) amongst early POAG patients who were under follow-up at the Ophthalmology Department, Hospital Melaka (Melaka, Malaysia). Study design: Observational cross-sectional study. Materials and methods: Consecutive sampling of 64 POAG patients who were diagnosed as early POAG as defined by the Glaucoma Staging System 2 (GSS 2) into stage 1 and 2 on Octopus visual field test were recruited in this study. Data collected included demographic data, refraction, slit-lamp examination, intraocular pressure (IOP), gonioscopy, peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFLT) measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and fundus photography. Results: Among 64 eyes, 57.8% were found to have normal and 42.2% to have abnormal RNFLT classification. There was no difference in terms of age, gender or ethnicity between those with normal and abnormal RNFLT. Mean IOP at presentation, mean duration of POAG, and mean spherical dioptres were compared between the two groups. Only mean spherical dioptres showed a significant difference between the two groups, p < 0.001. An increase of spherical dioptres also had a moderate positive correlation with RNFLT in most optic disc quadrants except the nasal, temporal, superonasal, and inferonasal quadrants. Conclusion: OCT cannot be used as a diagnostic tool alone, especially in early glaucoma, as it showed a normal RNFLT in almost half the patients. RNFLT in early POAG had significant correlation with spherical dioptres in most quadrants.

Introduction: Cataract surgery with insufficient capsular support has become an intense challenge to surgeons in intraocular lens (IOL) selection. Anterior chamber IOL (ACIOL), iris-claw (Artisan) IOL, and scleral-fixated IOL (SFIOL) are the three common types of IOL used. However, each type of IOL has its own characteristics and different clinical requirements. IOL selection is important in ensuring good visual outcome. Purpose: The purpose is to compare the duration or surgery, visual outcomes, and complications among ACIOL, Artisan IOL, and SFIOL. Study design: Retrospective comparative analysis. Material and methods: This is a four-year retrospective analysis of patients who underwent either ACIOL, Artisan IOL, or SFIOL implantation between January 2014 and January 2018. Patients were divided into ACIOL, Artisan, and SFIOL groups. Demographic data, duration of surgery, preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, and postoperative complications were identified and compared among the different groups. Results: Sixty-four eyes from 58 patients were analysed: twenty (31.3%) eyes with ACIOL, 28 (43.8%) eyes with Artisan, and 16 (25%) eyes with SFIOL. Mean surgery times for ACIOL, Artisan, and SFIOL were: 61 ± 27.8, 64 ± 26.9, and 104.1 ± 46.8, respectively. SFIOL showed significantly longer surgery time than the ACIOL and Artisan groups (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in surgery time between the ACIOL and Artisan groups (p > 0.05). The Artisan group showed significantly better visual recovery at postoperative 1 week than both the ACIOL and SFIOL groups (Artisan vs ACIOL: 6/18 vs 6/24, p < 0.05; Artisan vs SFIOL: 6/18 vs 6/60, p < 0.05). However, final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at two months was comparable among all three groups with a median BCVA of 6/9. Elevated intraocular pressure occurred in all IOL groups, retinal detachment developedin the Artisan and SFIOL groups, epiretinal membrane developed in the ACIOL and SFIOL groups, corneal decompensation developed in the ACIOL group only. Cystoid macular oedema and IOL tilt occurred in SFIOL only. Conclusions: All three groups of IOL showed comparable good visual outcomes. The decision of IOL selection should be based on patients’ clinical condition and availability of surgical skill and resources.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is transmitted through aerosolization, hence commonly infects the lungs. The occurrence of extrapulmonary tuberculosis is rare. We report a case of eyelid tuberculosis in a 45-year-old gentleman with a history of treated testicular tuberculosis three years ago. He had insidious onset of painless swelling in the right upper eyelid associated with erythema for one month. He did not have other constitutional symptoms. Initially, he was treated as chalazion and given topical antibiotics. However, the swelling worsened despite medication. His best corrected visual acuity was 6/9 in both eyes. Examination showed an elevated ulcerative growth with broad base which bled easily upon touch. The clinical presentation varies from an eyelid infection as an eyelid tumour can be a diagnostic challenge. A slow response to oral and topical antibiotic warrants an excision biopsy. The results showed chronic granulomatous infection in acid-fast bacilli. An antituberculosis (anti-TB) therapy was started and the patient showed a positive clinical response. Althrough rare, tuberculosis of eyelid should be considered as differential diagnosis of chalazion. Any suspicious case should be confirmed by biopsy followed by anti-TB if indicated.

This study aims to develop a novel web-based decision support system for diabetic retinopathy screening and classification of eye fundus images for medical officers. The research delivers diabetic retinopathy information with a web-based environment according to the needs of the users. The proposed research also intends to evaluate the developed system usability to the target users. The complex characteristics of diabetic retinopathy signs contribute to the difficulty in detecting diabetic retinopathy. Therefore, professional and skilled retinal screeners are required to produce accurate diabetic retinopathy detection and diagnosis. The proposed system assists the communication and consultation among the medical experts in the hospital and the primary health cares located at the health clinics. The agile software development model is the methodology used for the development of this research project. The project collaborates with the Department of Ophthalmology, Hospital Melaka, Malaysia for the medical content expertise and testing. Representative medical officers from Hospital Melaka and all the public health clinics in Melaka were involved in the preliminary study and system testing. This research study consists of a web development producing an interactive web-based application of diabetic retinopathy consultation which comprises image processing and editing features as a core of the system. It is envisaged that this research project will contribute to the management of diabetic retinopathy screening among medical officers.

Ophthalmology is one of the medical branches that deal with the eye. This field is associated with the anatomy, physiology and diseases of the eye. The main objective of this paper is to develop a novel interactive simulation of eye anatomy in three-dimensional (3D) by using holography environment approach in order to create better visualization of the structures of the eyes. Currently, public can access the information on medical through some conventional methods, such as brochure, pamphlet, booklet, in addition to some other better ways, for example 2D and 3D video. However, these methods do not offer an interactivity visualization of the medical information that help creating much engaging presentation to users. Moreover, the medical doctors are unable to show and explain in details about the diseases occurrence through these methods. An interactive method, therefore is required to assist the doctors to convey the disease information effectively. Since the human eye is the most complex organ in our body, thus an advanced technology, i.e., hologram should be used to visualize the visual system in an effective and interactive method, also to produce an effective eye disease explanation. Hologram is in a three-dimensional form besides an interactivity elements, where the proposed technology will help doctors examining vital organs using 3D displays. It is envisaged that the proposed interactive holography technique for clinical purpose would greatly contribute to and assist the management of the eye diseases and other diseases as well. It is hoped that the developed interactive holography technique for eye will assist clinicians in delivering the disease information efficiently and attractively.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) in postmenopausal women on peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and macular thickness and macular volume and to compare them with postmenopausal women who are not on hormonal replacement therapy. Materials and Methods: The study population included postmenopausal women who are taking HRT (n = 50) and postmenopausal women who are not taking HRT (n = 50). Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer and macular thickness and macular volume were evaluated using spectral domain-optical coherence tomography. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in all peripapillary RNFL thickness and macular thickness and volume parameters between the two groups, HRT and non-HRT groups, except for superior outer macular thickness and volume were significantly thicker in postmenopausal women who are taking hormonal replacement therapy, P = 0.036 and P = 0.037, respectively. There was a positive correlation between duration on HRT with most of peripapillary RNFL and macular thickness and macular volume, but the correlation was only significant at superotemporal peripapillary RNFL. Conclusion: Our result does not provide strong evidence for a protective effect of postmenopausal HRT usage against ocular diseases. However, the increased macular thickness in superior outer macula and positively correlated peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer at superotemporal encouraged us to think of promising positive effect of HRT on ocular structure.

Fuzzy image processing was proven to help improve the image quality for both medical and non-medical images. This paper presents a fuzzy techniques-based eye screening system for the detection of one of the most important visible signs of diabetic retinopathy; microaneurysms, small red spot on the retina with sharp margins. The proposed ophthalmic decision support system consists of an automatic acquisition, screening and classification of eye fundus images, which can assist in the diagnosis of the diabetic retinopathy. The developed system contains four main parts, namely the image acquisition, the image preprocessing with fuzzy techniques, the microaneurysms localisation and detection, and finally the image classification. The fuzzy image processing approach provides better results in the detection of microaneurysms.

Introduction: Honey postulated may have an estrogenic effect on the retinal estrogenic receptors. The aim of the study is to compare the mean macular thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and optic nerve head (ONH) parameters with and without honey cocktail supplement in post-menopausal women. Methods: A randomised interventional study was conducted from March 2014 to July 2015. A total of 60 post-menopausal women were selected and randomised into 2 groups: honey cocktail (20 mg/day) and control. Macular thickness, RNFL thickness and ONH parameters were measured using optical coherence tomography at baseline and at 3 months post honey cocktail supplementation. Results: The mean global macular thickness and RNFL thickness were significantly thicker in post-menopausal women with honey cocktail at 3 months post supplement (p = 0.002 and 0.033 respectively). There was a significant increase in the mean change of global macular thickness and RNFL thickness in honey cocktail group at 3 months post supplement (p < 0.001 and < 0.001 respectively). Although there was no significant difference in the ONH parameters at 3 months post supplement between the two groups but there was significant increase in the mean change of rim area (p = 0.003), and significant reduce in the mean change of cup area (p = 0.001) and cup-disc-ratio (p <0.001) in honey cocktail group at 3 months post supplement. Conclusion: Honey cocktail supplement showed structural changes in the macular thickness, RNFL thickness and OHN parameters of post-menopausal women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
