Microtropia as an amblyopia indicator
This study was undertaken to determine if microtropia with identity (straight eye anisometropia) is a reliable indicator of amblyopia following optical correction. This was a retrospective review of 532 children aged four to five years. After two months of glasses...
Use of amniotic membrane in second stage Hughes tarsocunjunctival reconstruction
This is a retrospective, non-comparative interventional case series of 30 patients who underwent amniotic membrane transplantation to lower lid margin as part of Hughes lid reconstruction to prevent a hyperaemic, hypertrophic conjunctival margin with excessive discharge. Patients undergoing more than...
Air toxicity on retinal pigment epithelium
This study investigated the potential toxic effects of air on primary human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in vitro. Clinically during pars plana vitrectomy air is used as either a temporary tamponade during air-fluid exchange or mixed with gas to...
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...
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....
Augmented surgery for monocular elevation deficiency
The outcomes are described for augmented lateral rectus superior transposition in cases of acquired monocular elevation deficiency (MED) associated with large hypotropia in primary gaze. The lateral rectus was transposed superiorly and reinserted on sclera between the temporal margin of...
OCT measurements of eye muscles for Grave’s disease
The purpose of this study was to use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess horizontal rectus muscle thickening in patients with active and inactive Grave’s ophthalmopathy (GO) compared to healthy controls. This was a cross section observation study of rights...
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...
Review of amblyopia prevalence
The authors conducted this study for systematic assessment of the literature to provide an estimate of the global and regional prevalence of amblyopia, to determine the trend of its prevalence in previous years, to explore the factors contributing to differences...
Amblyopia treatment review
This review paper summarises the main causes and neural mechanisms that characterise amblyopia. The authors analysed neuroanatomical, neurophysiological and electrophysiological studies in the literature to better understand actual treatment regimens and evaluate new therapeutic possibilities. They considered causes of strabismus,...
Ocular findings in autism
This retrospective study investigated the ocular manifestations of autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) among children in a paediatric ophthalmic practice setting. Fifty-three patients were identified. Assessments were undertaken for 44 with 68% having autistic disorder, 16% with pervasive personality disorder –...
