Extraocular muscle BT after ocular pathology
Management is described for 13 patients who received inferior rectus botulinum toxin (BT) injection for vertical strabismus due to orbital pathology. Patients were aged 19-86 years, eight were female and seven were right eye injections. Orbital pathology included six with...
A relationship between central serous retinopathy and obstructive sleep apnoea
This prospective study aimed to evaluate a relationship between central serous retinopathy (CSR) and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Twenty-three subjects (six female and 17 male) were diagnosed with CSR and overnight polysonography was performed to record desaturation and apnoeic episodes....
Autophagy in lens mitochondria loss
The lens consists of a monolayer of epithelial cells that overlies fibre cells that differentiate from epithelial cells at the equator. While developing, fibre cells need mitochondria to provide energy, as they mature they lose these and other organelles to...
Long-term outcomes following surgery for traumatic cyclodialysis clefts
This retrospective case series evaluated the long-term visual prognosis and intraocular pressure control following surgical treatment of traumatic cyclodialysis clefts. Cyclodialysis clefts result from the disinsertion of the longitudinal ciliary muscle fibres from the scleral spur and occur as a...
Pain score assessment in babies undergoing treatment for ROP
The aim of this study was to assess neonatal pain scores during laser treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) under sub-tenon anaesthetic with oral or rectal sedation. Sixty-two babies were included who have had ROP laser treatment over a seven...
Improved vision with perceptual learning
This study examined whether the development of crowded near visual acuity can be stimulated and whether crowding effects can be reduced by perceptual learning. The authors compared a magnifier crowded task with a perceptual learning crowded task and perceptual learning...
Vision measurements vs. self-rating
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between self-rated vision status and tests of visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, stereoacuity, bilateral visual field and self-reported visual function in specific domains of near and far vision. The goal was...
High myopes with POAG and IOP fluctuations
The authors describe a prospective study of 80 eyes of Chinese patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) on prostaglandin analogues to investigate if those who also have high myopia exhibit greater short-term intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations at resting conditions over...
Intermittent exotropia
Four cases of intermittent exotropia are discussed. Case 1 was a nine-month-old with cycloplegic refraction of +1.0DS and a 30PD intermittent exotropia at near and distance. Discussions considered observation, part-time occlusion, refractive correction and later possibility of surgery. Case 2...
Risk factors for amblyopia
The author presents a meta-analysis of published data to estimate American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) prevalence data for amblyopia risk factors. He extracted data from major paediatric comprehensive eye examination studies for children aged two to five...
Surgical prediction in infantile ET
The purpose was to evaluate the preoperative factors influencing the efficacy of the surgical procedure of bilateral lateral rectus recessions. Fifty cases with at least one year follow-up were included for retrospective analysis. Mean response to surgery was 2.17±0.80 PD/mm...
