DTI/MRI results in amblyopia

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is an MRI technique that can evaluate white matter integrity and neuronal connectivity. Normal brain maturation and myelination are associated with reduced water diffusion and increased diffusion anisotropy. The authors aimed to evaluate the anterior optic...

Management of high AC/A esotropia

The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term effect of treating high accommodative convergence to accommodation (AC/A) esotropia with single vision lenses (SVL) compared with the effectiveness of using SVL on patients with basic refractive esotropia and a...

Comparison of five IOL formula for paediatric eyes

There is no consensus on the most suitable intraocular lens formulas for paediatric eyes to provide consistent postoperative results. This study compared modern IOL formulas to identify the smallest mean prediction error among them: Hill-RBF 2.0, Barrett Universal II (BUII),...

Parental feedback on their needs from eye services for children with congenital cataracts

The aim of this study was to analyse non-directed parental feedback to health care providers responsible for paediatric cataract care in Sweden. This was a cross-sectional study including open-ended questions. Ninety percent were mothers, and most from Sweden (82.5%) with...

Intermittent exotropia

Four cases of intermittent exotropia are discussed. Case 1 was a nine-month-old with cycloplegic refraction of +1.0DS and a 30PD intermittent exotropia at near and distance. Discussions considered observation, part-time occlusion, refractive correction and later possibility of surgery. Case 2...

Surgical prediction in infantile ET

The purpose was to evaluate the preoperative factors influencing the efficacy of the surgical procedure of bilateral lateral rectus recessions. Fifty cases with at least one year follow-up were included for retrospective analysis. Mean response to surgery was 2.17±0.80 PD/mm...

TAC testing in dementia

The aim was to assess the visual acuity measurements performed by the preferential looking method using Teller acuity cards (TAC) in elderly subjects with dementia due to probable Alzheimer’s disease. The mean age was 78.2±9.11 years for patients and 77.2±6.19...

Autistic responses to plusoptix photoscreening

The authors sought to determine if the plusoptix would provide an accurate estimation of whether an autistic child had amblyopic risk factors. This retrospective study identified 48 children with autism. Undilated plusoptix was undertaken in 25 children aged less than...

Ocular characteristics in Marfan syndrome

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disorder with clinical manifestations associated with cardiovascular, ocular and skeletal organ systems. Typical signs are descending aortic root aneurysms, ectopia lentis, tall stature and scoliosis. This observational study looked at the ocular characteristics, visual...

Non-accidental retinal haemorrhages

The authors sought to determine whether the presence of retinal haemorrhages (RH) correlated positively to individuals who confessed to shaking (group a) compared to those who did not confess but were identified as the likely perpetrators (group b) and cases...

Impact of orthoptic re-exam in screening

The authors evaluated whether the re-examination within the orthotic screening in children with questionable results at the first examination can reduce the number of submissions to specialists and avoid a high number of false positives. This was a retrospective study...

Photoscreening comparison

The A09/S09 photoscreener contains a fixation target of flashing lights (as for the S04) plus a smiley face which is new. Concerns were raised that the smiley face may stimulate less accommodation than the S04 attention lights and therefore potentially...
