Four rectus muscle surgery for infantile nystagmus syndrome
The authors present a case report of infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) with abnormal head posture (AHP) of face turn, head tilt and chin depression with a single-step surgery of all four horizontal rectus muscles. The case was a 26-year-old male...
Acetazolamide and CMO
The authors set out to analyse the effect of acetazolamide therapy on inflammatory cystoid macular oedema (CMO) as defined by change in central macular subfield thickness (CST), as well as its effect on visual acuity. A retrospective chart review was...
Long-term improvement of stereopsis in intermittent refractive esotropia
This was a retrospective study to review the records of patients with refractive accommodative esotropia (RAET) to determine long-term stereoacuity (SA) improvement in those that showed initial poor or no stereopsis. The study included 79 patients; 54% male and mean...
Exotropia symptoms
The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical preoperative symptoms and changes to these postoperatively in patients with exotropia. A non-validated questionnaire with 15 questions was used: three subscales including stereopsis (five questions), ocular fatigue (five questions) and cosmetic...
A review of patient education interventions within paediatric ophthalmology
This systematic review aimed to review published literature around the content, effectiveness and outcomes related to interventions educating patients within paediatric ophthalmology. A single database was searched from inception to June 2022. Interventions aimed at either the patient or carers...
Combined in-office and home-based eccentric viewing training for central vision loss
This retrospective study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an eccentric viewing training (EVT) programme delivered in a real-world setting (home exercises) by combining a traditional EVT technique with biofeedback training using microperimetry. The authors investigated potential relationships between visual...
Postop improved fusion and stereopsis in IDEX
This study aimed to evaluate changes in binocular visual function in patients with different ages before and after surgery to explore the optimal timing of intermittent exotropia surgery. The study comprised 28 females and 25 males. Fifty-three patients were split...
Do operative interventions for IIH improve visual function?
The authors of this paper reviewed patient case notes to determine visual outcome following shunt surgery for idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). A retrospective case notes review was conducted for 50 patients who underwent shunt surgery for IIH. Outcome measures included...
Effect of single intravitreal injection of bevacizumab on contrast sensitivity in patients with central retinal vein occlusion
Central retinal vein occlusion is the second most common retinal vascular disorder after diabetic retinopathy. There are many studies reporting the efficacy of intravitreal anti-VEGF injections for macular oedema secondary to retinal vein occlusions. This paper looks at the contrast...Optical coherence tomography – reinventing the eye examination
It has been 25 years since Huang et al. presented the first optical coherence tomography (OCT) images in Science [1]. With vast improvements in OCT technology over the years, it is now possible to acquire high-resolution cross-sectional images of the...Contemporary glaucoma therapy: spoilt for choice
The goal of glaucoma management is to prevent visual loss and disease progression in the patient’s lifetime through effective lowering of intraocular pressure (IOP), the primary modifiable risk factor in glaucoma. Sustained and consistent IOP reduction is key to halting...
