Toy related ocular injuries in US children
This cross-sectional study using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System Study (NEISS) included 1439 patients who visited emergency departments over a five-year period from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2021, with toy-related ocular injuries. Males were disproportionately...
PAX6 methylation and myopia
The authors present a case control study of 41 adolescents (age 12–14) with myopia and 39 age- and sex-matched non-myopic controls. The myopic patients were sub-divided into mild, moderate and severe myopia subgroups. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples...
Macular choroidal changes after inferior oblique muscle surgery
This study was undertaken to investigate the retinal neurovasculature, choroidal thickness and choroidal vascular index (CVI) changes at the macula at one week, one- and three-month intervals post inferior oblique muscle myectomy. The hypothesis was that, given the close proximity...
BT vs primary surgery for infantile esotropia
In this study, the success rate of treatment for infantile esotropia (IET) patients who had surgery because of under correction after botulinum toxin (BT) is compared to those having primary surgery. The study included 52 patients (27 male) with mean...
Risks for ROP development in mid and late preterm infants
The authors evaluated the incidence, risk factors and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) development in mid and late preterm infants born at 32 to <37 weeks of gestational age (GA). This was a retrospective study of 5477 infants: 54.4% male. Overall,...
Systematic review of management options for intermittent exotropia
The authors conduct a robust systematic review of the literature to report evidence on non-surgical and surgical treatment options for intermittent exotropia – divergence excess and basic intermittent exotropia types. Discussion centres on (1) optical correction of refractive error with...
Posner-Schlossman Syndrome (PSS) European Study Group: study protocol and baseline patient characteristics of a multicentre study
This is a retrospective, multicentre (11 centres) study of European patients (total 107; Caucasians in 93.4%). Age ranged between 11 and 76 years with mean age 42 ±15 years. Best corrected vision was >0.5logMAR in 80.3% of the eyes, and...
Corneal surface astigmatism changes after lateral rectus surgery
This prospective study evaluated astigmatic changes in children following lateral rectus surgery. The fellow unoperated eye was used as the control for assessment of anterior and posterior corneal surfaces. The study included 37 patients (74 eyes); 16 male, 21 female...
Retinal thickness and visual acuity change correlations after amblyopia occlusion therapy
This prospective study aimed to assess change in retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and macular thickness, and clinical correlations with visual outcomes, after amblyopia treatment in 30 children with moderate to severe amblyopia. Mean age of children was 5.26 ±1.65...
Surgical outcomes of primary recess/resection vs readvancement/recession surgery for exotropia
This study compared the surgical yield of primary lateral rectus and medial rectus recession/resection (RR) surgery for basic exotropia, convergence insufficiency type exotropia (CIXT) and divergence excess (DXS) vs. patients undergoing medial rectus readvancement (MRR) +/- lateral rectus recession for...
