Surgeons can lead the way in transforming global health
Surgeons must provide leadership in transforming healthcare across the Global South – by integrating surgery into the global health agenda and advocating for simple and cost-effective surgical procedures that support overall health system strengthening.
Prediction errors of formulas in optical biometers
This study was conducted retrospectively in a private practice setting. Nine formulas were compared for prediction error (postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) minus, predicted SE calculated by each formula), using two optical biometers (Lenstar – optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) and...
Investigation of blood platelet parameters in anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy
The aim of this clinical retrospective comparative study was to assess the possible relationship between arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (AAION) and non-arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (NAION) with blood platelet parameters and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). The medical records of...
Surgery for third nerve palsy (2019)
The authors present a new technique for split muscle medial transposition surgery of the lateral rectus plus union with the distal split stump of the medial rectus. This increases the length of the contracted lateral rectus through the addition of...
V pattern surgery
Inferior oblique (IO) muscle belly transposition involves fixing the belly of the IO to the sclera at 5mm posterior to the temporal insertion of the inferior rectus (IR). This study reports the clinical outcomes of bilateral surgery to treat V...
Complications after cataract surgery in high myopes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The authors review all the modern literature on complications after phacoemulsification in high myopes with axial lengths (AL) greater than 25.0mm. Twenty-eight studies reporting on 19,586 eyes were included. The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) improved from 0.96 ± 0.53...
Outcomes of unilateral surgery for bilateral asymmetric DVD
The purpose of this study was to analyse the outcomes and complications observed in a cohort of patients with unilateral superior rectus recession in bilateral asymmetric dissociative vertical deviation (DVD) with strong preferential fixation. This was a retrospective review of...
Management of strabismus due to orbital wall fractures
The authors present a retrospective single centre review of patients with strabismus due to orbital wall fractures with regard to their clinical presentation and outcomes. The study included 347 patients; 87% male and mean age of 32.42 ±12.9 years. Ten...
IO belly transposition surgery
The authors evaluated inferior oblique (IO) muscle belly transposition to correct mild to moderate IO overaction with small primary position hypertropia. They reviewed 10 patients aged 6-35 years (mean 18.6 years). Aetiologies were mild unilateral superior oblique (SO) palsy for...
Fixed or variable Muller’s muscle resection
This is a retrospective analysis of 60 patients who underwent posterior approach ptosis surgery utilising a Muller’s muscle resection. The study compares those who underwent a fixed resection length of 7mm of Muller’s muscle with those having a variable resection...
Uveitic glaucoma
The purpose of this retrospective study from two tertiary Institutions in Israel over a period of 13 years, is to present the long-term outcomes of uveitic glaucoma and to identify risk factors for progression. The study included 34 patients (53...
