Detecting muscle insertion position by ultrasound
The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy to locate muscle insertion positions before and after strabismus surgery using wide-field ultrasound biomicroscopy with the bag / balloon technique. Thirty-nine muscles of 22 adult patients aged 34.7 ±15.5 years...
En coup de sabre scar and strabismus
This is a case report of an eight-year-old child with gradual progressive strabismus (esotropia and hypotropia) from the age of five years. The angle measured >45 degrees esotropia and 10 degrees hypotropia. There was a depressed linear-localised scar over the...
Surgical management of high myopia strabismus
This is a small case series of three patients with unilateral or bilateral high myopia with exotropia and hypotropia. Surgery involved nasal loop myopexy between the medial and superior recti muscles with or without lateral rectus recession and / or...
Improved suppression after surgery for intermittent exotropia
This study aimed to investigate the clinical factors associated with the recovery from suppression, with successful postoperative target motor alignment in 237 patients with intermittent exotropia. Mean age at surgery was 8.2 ±3.2 years and 48.5% were male. Preoperative angle...
Paralytic strabismus in Parry-Romberg syndrome
Parry-Romberg syndrome is a progressive hemifacial atrophy with idiopathic craniofacial disorder characterised by slowly progressive atrophy of soft tissues on one side of the face. A case is presented of acquired monocular elevation deficit in a child without restrictive component....
Sjogren’s syndrome in association with ophthalmoplegia
This is a case report of a 28-year-old female complaining of horizontal and vertical diplopia with inability to move her right eye and sudden onset right ptosis. She complained of retro-orbital pain with headache and a foreign body sensation in...
Amblyopia risk factors with nasolacrimal duct obstruction in newborns
This study compares amblyopia risk factors in 1) newborns with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) and age-matched healthy controls, 2) newborns with unilateral and bilateral CNLDO and 3) affected eye and fellow eye of newborns with unilateral CNLDO. The authors...
Outcome of nasolacrimal probing in older children
The authors aimed to determine the success of nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLD) probing in a cohort of patients older than four years with simple membranous obstruction. Eighteen patients were included in this retrospective study aged 5.6 years on average (4.1-10.6)....
OCT angiography findings in amblyopic eyes
In this study, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was used to detect the existence of any vascular dysfunction in superficial and deep retinal layers that accompany visual impairment in amblyopic eyes compared to fellow and control eyes. The study included...
Laser photocoagulation vs. intravitreal (IVT) aflibercept for ROP
The efficacy, recurrence rate and requirement for additional treatment were compared between laser photocoagulation and IVT of 1mg/0.025ml aflibercept in the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). The study included 27 babies (51 eyes) who completed a follow-up period after...
Treatment efficacy of stage 4 ROP
This study aimed to determine the efficacy of combined vitrectomy and anti-VEGF injection for advanced stage 4 ROP with extensive neovascular proliferation (NF). The study included nine infants; six bilateral and three unilateral. Seven were female and the mean gestational...
OCT choroidal signs for congenital retinal pigment epithelium hypertrophy
Congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (CHRPE) on ocular coherence tomography (OCT) has the characteristic sign of RPE thickening and hyper reflectivity. However, the underlying choroid characteristics remain under researched. This retrospective study utilised data from an ophthalmic oncology...
