A population based follow-up study on pseudoexfoliation and cataract surgery
n association between pseudoexfoliation (PEX) and cataracts has been shown in many previous studies. Recently, the Australian Blue Mountains Eye Study, using the Wisconsin Cataract Typing and Grading System, observed an increased prevalence of nuclear cataract in eyes with PEX....
Association of astigmatism and inferior oblique over action
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between primary inferior oblique over action and astigmatism along the axis on the overacting muscle. The authors explored the postoperative change in axis of astigmatism and cylinder power in a...
Familial Mediterranean Fever and keratoconus
This retrospective case control study was conducted in the Genetic Diagnostic Centre in Turkey. It examined the prevalence of keratoconus in two groups; patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) and age matched controls free of FMF, who were tested for...
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...
GA vs. office measures of axial length
Axial lengths were compared in an office setting versus under general anaesthetic (GA) to determine if awake office measures are feasible and whether differences in measures occur in both settings. The study included 33 eyes of 19 children; 84% male,...
Outcomes of Hughes flap in lower eyelid reconstruction
One hundred and 22 consecutive patients who underwent tarsoconjunctival advancement flap surgery for lower eyelid defects were part of this study. Ninety percent of them had lesion excision using Mohs micrographic surgery. Eighty percent of these were for basal cell...
IOP measures after intraocular chemotherapy
This study aimed to describe the relationship between intravitreal chemotherapy and IOP in children with retinoblastoma and identify risk factors for pronounced elevations. This was a retrospective study of ten cases (ten eyes) with 17 encounters overall. Mean age was...
Trochleitis features
The authors evaluate the epidemiology, clinical signs, treatment and outcomes of trochleitis in a retrospective review of 59 cases. Estimated prevalence was 12 per 100,000. Eighty-six percent were female and mean age was 43±18 years. All but one case was...
GP contact lenses in nystagmus
The purpose of this study was to quantify and evaluate the effect of rigid gas permeable contact lenses (CLs) on visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and motor parameters of involuntary eye movements in hyperopic patients with infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS). This...
PROM rating scales
The authors evaluated three commonly used Likert-type rating scales with an aim to determine which scale performed best when administering questions to children with eye disorders, and their parents. Three scales looked at frequency, severity and difficulty. An initial questionnaire...
Managing blepharophimosis
The authors present a prospective study of a one-stage technique for managing both telecanthus and ptosis seen in blepharophimosis syndrome. The technique involves carrying out a Y to V medial canthoplasty followed by a frontalis suspension which the authors carry...
