The Eye in Forensic Medicine: A Narrative Review
The eye, with its distinctive anatomy, not only reflects a wide variety of diseases in life but also undergoes a myriad of post-mortem changes. Consequently, the eye has long been an area of interest in forensic science, primarily for the estimation of post-mortem interval and therefore the time of death and also for assistance in ascertaining the cause of death. There has been significant progress in the knowledge of ophthalmic forensic science using new technologies which have allowed further possibilities to arise where understanding of this field can assist the forensic pathologist. This review aims to highlight the cu...

A Meta-Analysis Assessing Change in Pupillary Diameter, Accommodative Amplitude, and Efficacy of Atropine for Myopia Control
Purpose: To determine the effect of atropine on pupillary diameter, accommodative amplitude as well as myopia progression. Methods: Medical databases and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for studies from 1980 until June 2020. The primary and secondary outcomes were: a) change in pupillary diameter (PD) and accommodative amplitude (AA) and b) annualized mean change in spherical equivalent and axial length with various concentrations of atropine compared to control. Results: Thirteen trials (6 RCTs, 7 observational studies) that studied 9 atropine concentrations (0.01–1.0%) were included. The...

Incidence of Newly Registered Blindness From Age-Related Macular Degeneration in Australia Over a 21-Year Period: 1996–2016
Purpose: Report the age-standardized annual incidence of blindness registration due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in Australia in patients aged 50 years and older. Frequencies of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and intravitreal therapy (IVT) were examined. Design: Retrospective observational study. Setting: Registry of the Association for the Blind of Western Australia with best-corrected visual acuity worse than 20/200 in the better-seeing eye. Participants: Registering as blind aged 50 years or over. Measures: Annual age-standardized incidence of blindness over 3 time periods: 199...

Improving Retinopathy of Prematurity Care: A Medico-Legal Perspective
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is the leading cause of preventable infant blindness in the world. India leads all nations with the highest number of premature infants born each year. Asia has the highest estimated incidence, where visual loss from ROP is over twice as high per million live births compared to established market economies. The problems of ROP management in these countries are compounded by a large cohort of babies who require screening, relatively few ROP specialists, and more recently medico-legal challenges. The authors share the Indian jurisprudence literature from the past decade relating to ROP, summa...
