Placement of an eyelid weight as an upper lid spacer for lagophthalmos
Upper lid loading with a weight is a well described procedure for the treatment of lagophthalmos and exposure keratopathy. The authors describe a modification of this procedure whereby the levator aponeurosis is recessed in combination with supratarsal weight implantation. The...
Comparison of central laminar thickness in optic neuropathy and normal eyes
The study compares central laminar thickness (LT) among patients with glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON), patients with non-GON and normal subjects. The non-GON group comprised eyes with demyelinating optic neuropathy (ON), anterior ischaemic ON, compressive ON, Leber hereditary ON and traumatic...
Light reflex in preterm infants
In this study, the pupillary size and light reflex was examined in premature infants using infrared video-pupillography and stimuli of red and blue light. Only eyes of infants without retinopathy of prematurity were included in the study. Pupillary light reflexes...
A case report of papilloedema caused by unilateral jugular vein thrombosis
In rare cases, unilateral jugular vein thrombosis can lead to increased intracranial pressure and papilloedema, resulting in headaches and visual loss. The authors describe the case of a 45-year-old patient with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx who developed right...
Repeated orbital decompression surgery
This is a retrospective review of nine redo orbital decompressions in six patients. All operations were performed for dysthyroid optic neuropathy, both initially and when repeated. The interval between first and redo decompressions varied from one to 15 years and...
Systemic anti-inflammatory versus fluocinolone acetonide intraocular implant
In the Multicenter Uveitis Steroid Treatment (MUST) trial, 255 patients with intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis or panuveitis were randomised to either fluocinolone acetonide intraocular implant or systemic corticosteroid therapy which was supplemented with immunosuppression if required. Patients were followed up...
Axial length in congenital ptosis
The axial length in patients with unilateral congenital ptosis was prospectively examined in this study and lengths compared to fellow eyes. Thirty-seven patients included 24 male and 13 females with mean age of 17.8 ±16.3 years. Right ptosis was present...
Change in infantile exotropia
This study investigated the clinical course of patients with infantile exotropia who initially presented with a small exo deviation of 10-18 prism dioptres. Eighty-six patients were reviewed: 35 with follow-up of >2 years without surgery and 51 with surgery. The...
RCT of IOL type
The optical performance of pseudophakic eyes were compared after implantation of spherical and aspheric IOLs in paediatric patients after cataract surgery. This randomised controlled trial included 40 eyes of 23 patients: 20 eyes in each group. Follow-up was over three...
Diabetic polyneuropathy and risk of developing diabetic retinopathy
Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN), diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic nephropathy are widely classified as microvascular complications of diabetes. DPN, which may cause complete sensation loss, is another common complication of DM. The DPN-related diminished sensation presents a significant risk factor for...
Genetic analysis of choroideremia families
Choroideremia (CHM) is a rare X linked recessive chorioretinal dystrophy. Symptoms include nyctalopia and progressive peripheral field loss. Female carriers may have mild symptoms. Choroideremia is known to be caused by a mutation in the CHM gene. A multicentre human...
