Review of the use of amniotic membrane in restrictive strabismus

3 October 2022 | | Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus | Strabismus, amnion, eye movements, ocular motility disorders, ophthalmologic surgical procedures

This literature review was undertaken to investigate the indications, complications and final results of amniotic membrane (AM) transplantation in ocular motility restrictions. The review (of 1103 papers) outlines the healing process plus use of AM. Excluded papers were those of...

Using contrast acuity and rapid number naming in Huntington’s disease

4 February 2021 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | Huntington disease, King-Devick test, contrast sensitivity, eye movements, saccades

This study aimed to evaluate afferent and efferent visual function in Huntington’s disease (HD). HD is often portrayed by abnormal saccadic eye movements and afferent visual pathway involvement however these are poorly characterised and difficult to quantify at the bedside....

Saccadic eye movements in young-onset Parkinson’s disease

5 August 2020 | | Neuro-Ophthalmology | BOLD, Saccadic eye movements, fMRI, young onset Parkinson’s disease

The objective of this study was to understand control of saccadic eye movements in patients with young onset Parkinson’s disease (YOPD) where onset of disease symptoms appears early in life (<40 years of age). Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was...

N-T asymmetry in tracking eye movements

1 April 2018 | | Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus | non-human primate, strabismus, visual tracking eye movements

The current study aimed to quantify and compare the visual tracking responses of two sensory induced strabismic juvenile monkeys during monocular smooth pursuit, ocular following response and optokinetic nystagmus (OKN). Monkey 1 had esotropia and monkey 2 had exotropia. Both...
