The purpose of this study was to compare the visual outcomes of occlusion with game playing through a virtual reality (VR) system in children with unilateral amblyopia. The study was undertaken at the Negah Eye Hospital in Iran. This was...
Comparing tensile strengths of two scleral fixated intraocular lenses: CT-Lucia and MA60
The authors designed a benchtop model to measure the tensile strengths and resistance to breakage of the haptics and haptic-optic junctions of the CT Lucia 602 (Carl Zeiss, California) and AcrySof MA60 (Alcon Laboratories, Texas) IOLs. For the haptic breakage...
Clinical features and mortality of endogenous panophthalmitis in China
This longitudinal cohort study aimed to report the clinical features, treatment strategy, and mortality of 15 consecutive patients (16 eyes) with endogenous panophthalmitis (EP) at a tertiary medical centre of the largest eye centre in Northern China. Mean age was...
Evaluation of fluocinolone acetonide in the management of BRC
This is a single-centre, retrospective, intervention study of 15 eyes of birdshot retinochoroiditis (BRC) patients who received Iluvein, with a mean follow-up period of 31 months. Five eyes had previously received dexamethasone intravitreal implant 0.7mg (Ozurdex). Fluorescein angiography (FA) showed...
Divergence insufficiency esotropia is increasingly more common and new theory of aetiology
The authors present a retrospective case review of acquired esotropia. An internal database was reviewed for cases of esotropia and divergence insufficiency between 1978 and 2018 and seen by a single ophthalmologist. Patients with initial presentation of esotropia onset after...
Combination surgical management for congenital lacrimal duct obstruction
The authors aimed to report the clinical outcomes of antegrade balloon dacryocystoplasty (DCP) followed by pushed-type monocanalicular (MC), combined as a primary management for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO). This was a retrospective study of 62 eyes (48 patients) with...
Surgery technique for subluxation in Marfan syndrome
The authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of bimanual capsulorrhexis combined with sutureless scleral-fixated IOL implant in children with Marfan syndrome. Seven children (14 eyes) with subluxated lenses underwent bilateral surgery; four female, three male with mean age of 7.1...
BESTi: a new index to detect subclinical keratoconus
In this multicentre, case-control study, the authors develop a new index, named Boosted Ectasia Susceptibility Tomography Index (BESTi), to detect early cases of keratoconus. This index was derived from multiple logistic regression analysis of 22 variables of tomography scans. The...
Endothelial keratoplasty (EK) with anterior chamber intraocular lens (ACIOL) versus secondary posterior chamber lens (PCIOL)
This is a retrospective study of 82 eyes (23 ACIOL, 59 PCIOL) with a history of either pseudophakic (PBK) or aphakic (ABK) bullous keratopathy, who had descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) with retained or secondary ACIOL, or DSAEK with...
Treatment outcomes for retinal detachment
This is a retrospective, nationwide, multicentre study with retinal detachment (RD) in the Japan-RD registry between 2016 to 2017. The primary outcome was the estimated mean difference of postoperative corrected visual acuity (CVA) in six months and a propensity score...
Lacrimal drainage system malignancies
This retrospective case series looks at the rare cases of lacrimal drainage system malignancies. The authors have identified 14 patients in 24 years, at a tertiary referral centre in the Indian subcontinent. Many previous publications have found squamous cell carcinoma...
