Comparison of vision screeners

The primary purpose of this study was to calibrate the various paediatric photoscreeners over a range of contact lens induced hyperopic and astigmatic anisometropia using the American Association of Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) criteria for anisometropic or axial astigmatism....

Comparison of structural and functional features in primary angle closure and open-angle glaucoma

In this large cross-sectional study, differences in structural and functional damage were assessed among patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) with optical coherence tomography and reliable visual field testing. Two-hundred and eighty-three patients with...

Comparison of paediatric migraine and healthy controls using optical coherence tomography angiography

The authors present a cross-sectional study which recruited patients with paediatric migraine without aura along with age and sex-matched healthy controls. Both groups were recruited following attendance to an ophthalmology outpatient clinic. Children diagnosed with any of the following were...

Secondary iris-claw anterior chamber lens implantation in patients with aphakia without capsular support

This retrospective, non-randomised, non-comparative, interventional study including 128 eyes of 124 patients that presented with aphakia with no capsular support. All patients consecutively underwent Artisan iris-claw intraocular lense (IOL) implantation between 1997 and 2010. The inclusion criteria were: aphakic without...

Management of large hypertropia due to lost inferior rectus

This case report outlines the management strategy for a 37-year-old male who suffered a penetrating left orbital injury with rupture of the inferior rectus muscle, optic nerve avulsion and vertical deviation of about 90PD. On orbit exploration, the inferior rectus...

Augmented surgery for monocular elevation deficiency

The outcomes are described for augmented lateral rectus superior transposition in cases of acquired monocular elevation deficiency (MED) associated with large hypotropia in primary gaze. The lateral rectus was transposed superiorly and reinserted on sclera between the temporal margin of...

Comparison of bilateral lateral and unilateral recession resection for IXT

PALs use for convergence excess esotropia

This retrospective study includes a disparate group of 39 esotropic patients with an accommodative element from two different clinics with differing prescribing practices. Seven children were excluded due to previous treatment or insufficient follow-up. In all patients single vision glasses...

Predictors for developing strabismus after paediatric cataract surgery
