Surgical treatment outcomes and predictors for consecutive exotropia
This retrospective study presented the long-term results of consecutive exotropia surgery and its prognostic factors, and compared efficacy of medial rectus advancement, lateral rectus recession, or a combination of both. Patients were treated between 2000–2020. Mean age was 33.98 ±17.68...
Balancing early and late surgical intervention for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction
This retrospective study investigated the incidence of anisometropia and amblyopia by age of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) resolution. At Seattle children’s hospital, between 2007 and 2017, the outcomes of children with early versus late spontaneous resolution of CNLDO were...
Risk of pulled-in-two syndrome
Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) is along the risk factors for pulled-in-two syndrome (PITS). The aim of this study was to report six cases and discuss prevention and clinical management strategies. The author’s six cases represented an incidence...
Predictors for developing strabismus after paediatric cataract surgery
This study investigates the predictors for strabismus development in patients with paediatric cataract and their final visual acuity. The aim was to improve the treatment of both deprivation and strabismic amblyopia after surgery. The study included 46 children; 21 male,...
Neurogenic palsy due to COVID-19
The authors aimed to identify cases of neurogenic palsy in the presence of Covid-19 and document the patient characteristics, type of palsy and possible aetiologies. Case reports and case series were included in the search. Twenty-three articles were included with...
Early postoperative angle for prediction of surgical success for exotropia
In this study, the authors assessed the relationship between the initial postoperative deviation and surgical outcomes in adult exotropia undergoing unilateral lateral rectus recession with medial rectus resection. The study included 93 patients (51 female); 26 with residual exo, 53...
Use of Strabocheck to measure angle of deviation
Strabocheck (SK) is a free to access software and is a measurement of deviation angle based on the corneal light reflex in monocular and binocular photographs uploaded to the website. The purpose of this study was to evaluate SK in...

EYE - Vitreo-Retinal
Blue light causes photo-oxidative retinal injury and macular pigment (MP), with lutein, zeaxanthin and mesozeaxanthin as the main components, as a filter that protects the macula from this damage. Previous studies indicated that low levels of macular pigment optical density...
