OCT measurements in neurodevelopmental conditions

The authors aimed to investigate what changes occur in the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL) and macula when specific learning disorder (SLD) comorbidity is added to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). They compared measures in three...

Function vision outcomes in pseudophakic children

This study evaluated the functional vision of 196 pseudophakic children and their carers treated at a tertiary centre in Southwest Nigeria and identified association factors. Mean age was 9.8 ±3.4 years (range 2–16) with 68.9% male and 31.1% female. Median...

Treatment of vertical diplopia in the reading position

This paper describes the use of slab-off prisms for the treatment of vertical diplopia in the reading position. The following data were collected: main symptom complaint, visual acuity, refractive error, binocular vision including sensory fusion and stereoacuity, alternating cover test...

What characteristics are linked with adolescent blindness and severe visual impairment

The authors present a retrospective cohort analysis which aimed to characterise the risk factors for adolescents being blind or severely visually impaired. The publicly available National Survey of Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) was used as the data source and...
