Inferior oblique adherence syndrome
A case is reported of a 14-year-old with inferior oblique muscle adherence and fat adherence following unilateral inferior oblique (IO) anteriorisation. Following surgery, the patient developed consecutive esotropia, ptosis and marked limitation of laevoelevation. Forced duction test was positive for...
A case report of bidirectional aberrant upward eye movement
The authors present a case report of a 14-year-old boy with left ptosis and strabismus since childhood. In primary position he had left hypotropia with ptosis. On elevation of the right eye, the left eye depresses and adducts. Conversely, on...The management of retinal vein occlusions: a summary
Retinal vein occlusions (RVO) are the most common cause of visual loss from retinal vascular disease second to diabetic retinopathy. Vision is lost due to ischaemia, macular oedema and / or haemorrhage which ultimately effects a patient’s quality of life...
Direct endoscopic probing for congenital lacrimal duct obstruction
The most common treatment for congenital lacrimal duct obstruction (CLDO) is probing, which is traditionally a blind procedure. Previous literature reports success rates between 78-92%. The authors of this retrospective non comparative case series reviewed the success rates of probing...Making sense of the orthoptic assessment
Following the Specialty Trainee article on this topic in the February/March 2020 issue, Joe Smith provides a more detailed breakdown of the orthoptic report. Orthoptists investigate, diagnose and manage a wide variety of patients with varying problems. In this article,...
Comparison of bilateral lateral and unilateral recession resection for IXT
This is a retrospective review study of patients between the ages of three and 15 years old with the basic type of intermittent exotropia (IXT) who had strabismus surgery between January 2003 to September 2009. There were 85 patients included...Breakthroughs in the genetics of angle-closure glaucoma
Angle closure glaucoma (ACG) is not widely known to be a familial condition, yet the recent explosion of genetic data and large scale genome wide investigations have confirmed at least 13 genetic loci associated with ACG [1], and provided some...
Nasolacrimal duct probing success
The aim of this study was to report the treatment effectiveness of primary probing in children with congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) and describe the factors relating to the failure of the procedure. This was a retrospective study of 62...
Comparison of bupivacaine injection vs. mini-tenotomy for small angle deviations
Bupivacaine hydrochloride is an aminoacyltype local anaesthetic. Injection into extraocular muscles elicits a myotoxic response destroying striated muscle fibres but sparing satellite cells, nerves and vessels. Preserved satellite cells proliferate to form new muscle fibres, causing muscle hypertrophy and greater...
Iran prevalence of amblyopia
The authors aimed to determine the prevalence of amblyopia, its relation with refractive errors and its determinants. The target population was all children aged seven years in Iran. There were 3675 of 4157 children who participated (88.4%) with final analysis...
OCT in microtropia
The aim of this study was to assess whether OCT could be useful in detecting and documenting fixation in children with microtropia. The study used spectral domain OCT (Cirrus) in 15 patients (10 female, five male) and 10 control eyes....
