A study comparing the accuracy of the SRK II, SRK/T, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, T2 and Super formula in predictive refractive outcomes in children undergoing primary IOL insertion into the capsular bag following cataract surgery. A total of 377 eyes...

Optic canal measurements in children

The authors aimed to determine the normal range of optic canal diameters in a Turkish pediatric population. They evaluated 200 CT examinations: 102 females, 98 males with mean age of 86.42 ±65.39 months (range 1-211). There was no significant difference...

Speculum use increases IOP in newborn measurements

The authors aimed to investigate the effect on using an eyelid speculum (Barraquer wire eyelid speculum) on IOP measurement in newborns with a mean age of 37 weeks under topical anesthesia. Mean gestational age at birth and mean post-conceptual age...

Association of Demodex with chalazion

The authors aimed to investigate the prevalence and load of Demadex mites in 143 cases, comprising 41 boys and 60 girls with paediatric chalazion (mean age 2.91 ±1.96 years) and 27 control boys and 15 control girls (mean age 4.71...

Long-term specular microscopy following Nd: YAG iridotomy in chronic POAG

The aim of this study was to evaluate specular microscopy of chronic primary angle-closure glaucoma (CPACG) eyes at least one year after Nd:YAG iridotomy, and compare them with CPACG eyes without an iridotomy and age-matched, normal eyes. Nd:YAG laser causes...

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...

Incidence, characteristics and risk factors for ROP

This is a retrospective study performed at Seoul St Mary’s Hospital between the period of January 2009 to December 2013. The study was to determine the incidence and clinical features of, and risk factors for, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in...

Correlation between aqueous flare and macular microvascular status in diabetes mellitus

The authors report a cross-sectional study which was conducted to investigate the correlation between aqueous flare and macular microvascular status, assessed by optic coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in diabetes mellitus. Fifty-two diabetic patients with non-proliferative retinopathy, 44 diabetic patients without...

Unilateral cataract extraction outcomes in older children compared to two studies with younger cohorts

The authors present a retrospective study of children undergoing cataract surgery between the ages of two and seven-years-old at one centre, over a 24-year period. Data including demographics, ocular history, ophthalmic findings, operative reports, adverse events, and record of re-operations...

Clinical features of basic acquired nonaccommodative esotropia requiring surgery

Basic acquired nonaccommodative esotropia (BANAET) is a concomitant esotropia occurring after the age of six months without significant refractive error or accommodative element. Esotropia is similar for both near and distance and children have prior binocular single vision. The purpose...

Saccades and contrast sensitivity in retinoblastoma survivors

The authors report a cross-sectional study, which recruited children aged 5 to 18 years old who completed treatment completion for retinoblastoma more than six months ago. Exclusion criteria included bilateral enucleation and pre-existing conditions associated with cognitive impairment. A total...
