Glaucoma management after congenital cataract

The purpose of this study was to retrospectively explore the results of surgical intervention for glaucoma after congenital cataract surgery in Egypt. The study included 41 eyes of 32 children with glaucoma after cataract surgery – 57 procedures; 90% having...

IOP and reversibility of RPE detachment

The authors describe how three patients with retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) detachment showed a reduction or disappearance of an RPE detachment immediately following prone dark room test (PDRT). The authors performed spectralis OCT on 140 angle closure subjects before and...

Suture tensile strength

The effect of solutions commonly used in strabismus surgery were evaluated on 6-0 polyglactin suture tensile strength. The method involved a simple dead load test. Specimens of 6-0 suture were loaded in tension until breakage. This was repeated on 10...

Amblyopia treatment review

This review paper summarises the main causes and neural mechanisms that characterise amblyopia. The authors analysed neuroanatomical, neurophysiological and electrophysiological studies in the literature to better understand actual treatment regimens and evaluate new therapeutic possibilities. They considered causes of strabismus,...

Hyphema after trabeculectomy with MMC

The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records of consecutive patients with glaucoma who underwent trabeculectomy with mitomycin C between June 2005 and December 2010 to determine the risk factors for hyphema after surgery. Of the 420 patients, 104 (24.8%) had...

Risk factors for consecutive XT

The authors report a retrospective study to investigate possible risk factors leading to consecutive exotropia development in patients who underwent two muscle strabismus surgery to achieve an initial alignment within 10PD. The exotropia group included 25 female and 22 males....

Risk factor for surgical failure in consecutive XT

This study was designed to determine the success rate among patients with consecutive exotropia after choosing an appropriate surgical method based on medial rectus function and level of exo deviation. The authors conducted an interventional case series study of 40...

Cyclo spray vs. drops

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether cyclo spray is better tolerated than cyclo drops and to assess the adequacy of cycloplegia achieved by spray for objective refraction. Cyclo drops were given to 72 children and cyclo spray...

Risk factors for further surgery in consecutive ET

The preoperative and postoperative factors around first surgery for exotropia were investigated for predicting second surgery for consecutive esotropia. Fifty-two patients with consecutive esotropia after exotropia surgery were reviewed: 17 required surgery for the esotropia and 35 did not. There...

Strabismus in high myopia

The authors report the occurrence of exotropia-hypotropia complex in 15 cases of high myopia. The mean age at presentation was 23.5 years (10-35 years). Only two patients had high bilateral myopia. The mean axial length of the deviating eye was...

Amblyopia OCT results

The authors compared the macular and peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thicknesses of amblyopic and fellow eyes using Stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT) to reveal any differences. They sought to determine the anatomical differences between these subtypes of strabismic...

Neuroanatomical structures and eye movements

The aim of this study was to review and critically discuss the role of ocular proprioception in oculomotor control and development of eye motility disorders. The authors considered proprioception, structure and proprioceptors of eye muscles, singly and multiply innervated muscle...
