The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the surgical outcomes in the management of lateral incomitance with regard to ocular alignment and change in lateral incomitance in cases of bilateral vs. unilateral strabismus surgery. This was a...
The bionic eye – behind the headlines
Multiple visual prosthetic projects and other vision regeneration initiatives being tested in preclinical and clinical development worldwide illustrate continuing progress and opportunities in addressing profound blindness from hereditary retinal diseases and other causes (Table 1). Three implantable bionic vision systems...Headaches in ophthalmology (part 1)
Ophthalmologists see a large number of patients with headaches or facial pain in the ophthalmic outpatient clinics or in emergency clinics. Over two articles, I will discuss several causes of headaches, ocular manifestations and proposed management and referral options. It...Episcleral brachytherapy (EB) for retinoblastoma (RB)
