Masked bilateral SO palsy

This study examined the occurrence of masked bilateral superior oblique (SO) palsy with contralateral inferior oblique (IO) over action requiring further surgical intervention in children undergoing unilateral IO weakening surgery for presumed unilateral SO palsy. This retrospective study included 50...

Slanted MR surgery for convergence excess ET

The authors aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of bilateral slanted recessions of the medial rectus (MR) muscles in patients with convergence excess esotropia (ET). This retrospective study included 16 patients with a mean age at surgery of 5.6 ±3.05...

Ranibizumab for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration

This multicentre randomised prospective open label study compared 0.5 versus 2mg of ranibizumab in patients with submacular retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) detachment due to age-related macular degeneration. Four treatment regimens were used for the two strengths either monthly for 12...

VEGF and axial length (RVU)

The authors of this paper set out to examine whether the concentrations of VEGF in the vitreous were associated with refractive error and axial length in eyes without retinal disease, except of macular holes or epiretinal membranes. A vitreous sample...

Nasolacrimal duct screening to minimise post cataract endophthalmitis

This case control study compared the nasolacrimal duct (NLD) patency in a random sample of phacoemulsification cataract surgery patients (control group) versus a consecutive series of patients who developed endophthalmitis post cataract surgery (case group). NLD syringing was performed in...

Precision and accuracy of TearLab osmometer

Measuring tear osmolarity has been identified as a potential method for objectively diagnosing dry eye. TearLab osmolarity system is an in situ osmometer which may be a promising candidate for clinical use as it is portable and only requires a...

Functional visual field loss using automated static perimetry

Functional visual field loss is traditionally assessed by kinetic perimetry, typically producing spiralling isopters. This study looked at the spatial distributions of functional field deficits using automated static perimetry. A retrospective review of automated perimetry records was conducted using a...

VDT use and dry eye disease in children

There has been an increase in the amount of work performed using video display terminals. This study compared school children with and without dry eye disease and evaluated the risk factors of dry eye disease and evaluated the risk factors...

Results of single muscle advancement surgery

The aim of this study was to determine quantitatively the efficacy of medial and lateral rectus muscle advancement in consecutive exotropia and esotropia. The authors analysed the relationship between the change in muscle position and the change in visual angle...

Strabismus and binocular summation

The authors conducted a pilot study to investigate the effect of visual noise or background complexity on binocular summation in patients with strabismus. A target embedded in pixel noise was used. The study involved performance of a task detecting a...

Resection versus advancement for consecutive XT

The authors performed a retrospective review of results for patients treated with resection for consecutive exotropia in comparison to patients treated with advancement to the original insertion. The age of the resection and advancement groups averaged 33.6 and 38.2 years...

Three muscle surgery results for ET

There is limited information in the literature on the outcomes of three muscle surgery. The authors aimed to evaluate the medium term motor outcomes of three horizontal muscle surgery in 18 patients with large angle infantile esotropia of at least...
