Outcomes from evisceration with primary implant in 1800 patients

This is a retrospective analysis of 1800 patients who had evisceration with orbital implant between 2013-2019. As the largest published series on this topic, the authors are able to give relatable real-world data on complications following surgery. They use a...

Saccadic measurements in intermittent exotropia vs fusional amplitude

The authors investigated the correlation between fusional convergence amplitude and saccades during the shift from exotropia to binocular fixation during the cover / uncover test. This was an observational study of 15 patients (six female, nine male) with intermittent exotropia....

Retinal changes prior to hydroxychloroquine toxicity

In this retrospective longitudinal study, the authors examined changes in retinal layer thickness in patients taking hydroxychloroquine without evidence of retinopathy. Patients were drawn from a hydroxychloroquine screening clinic and required at least two OCT scans, at least one year...

Vitrectomy in retinal detachment associated with choroidal detachment

Hypotony, posterior retinal breaks, longer axial lengths and total retinal detachments (RD) are risk factors for development of RD associated with choroidal detachment (RRDCD). This study retrospectively analysed the anatomic outcomes and prognostic factors of vitrectomy in 175 patients with...

Impact of preop occlusion on surgical outcome

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of improved control with part-time occlusion treatment on the final postoperative surgical outcome in patients with intermittent exotropia. Eighty-nine patients were recruited who had unilateral lateral rectus recess / reset...

Prediction of visual outcome in IIH

In this prospective study, visual outcome of 40 patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) was compared with clinical and neuro-ophthalmic parameters. The purpose of this was to determine any correlation to try and predict visual outcome for IIH patients. Parameters...
