Spot screener versus Grand Seiko measurements
The authors aimed to determine repeatability and reproducibility of refractive values and pupil size measured using the Spot Vision Screener and to compare its measurement values with the Grand Seiko autorefractor. This was a cross-sectional study of 22 healthy adults;...
Hess vs. Harms vs. PCT measurements
This study aimed to compare the results of the different tests in 36 strabismus patients and 18 healthy controls aged 6-81 years. Tests included alternate prism cover test, Hess screen and Harms screen. Because of glasses restrictions with the Harms...
VA and stereo changes with increasing Bangerter filters
This study investigated the effect of monocular blur induced by Bangerter filters (BF) on both monocular and binocular visual acuity (VA) and stereoacuity in normal visual systems. Subjects included 24 healthy student volunteers aged 20.33 ±1.79 years; 22 female. One...
Resection versus plication impact on conjunctival-scleral thickness
In this study the authors aimed to compare the conjunctival-scleral thickness as measured with anterior segment (AS) OCT before and after medial rectus muscle resection or plication for exotropia. This was a prospective study of 7 resection cases and nine...
Does vicryl stand the test of time?
This retrospective study aimed to assess whether the long-term success of ptosis surgery was influenced by use of absorbable or non-absorbable sutures. Four hundred and fifty-five operations in 330 patients met the inclusion criteria. One hundred and sixty-nine operations were...
Normative dimensions of the lacrimal gland
This article looks at the normative dimensions of the lacrimal gland in the axial and coronal plane on fat-suppressed T1 weighted contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Previous data on this subject has come from computed tomography (CT). MRI is known...
Subperiosteal abscess management in adolescents and adults
This is a retrospective study looking at the clinical and treatment profiles of patients with orbital subperiosteal abscess (SPA) in an adolescent and adult population. SPA is rarer in this age group compared to a paediatric population (less than nine-years-old)...
Disc-fovea angle measurements for objective cyclotorsion review
The author measured the disc-fovea angle (DFA) in 249 healthy people (81 male, 168 female) as part of a retrospective study of 44 to 70-year-old adults. These were grouped as (1) aged 44 / 45 years, (2) aged 59-70 years,...
Risk factors and management for postoperative complications in strabismus surgery
This retrospective cohort study examined 1273 patients, comprising 1035 cases of exotropia and 238 cases of esotropia, with a minimum 18-month follow-up after strabismus surgery. Baseline demographics, age at surgery, pre / postoperative visual acuity, and deviation were included. Complications...
Persistent subretinal fluid (PSFF) in pneumatic retinopexy (PNR) versus pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD): posthoc analysis of the PIVOT randomised trial
This is a posthoc study of the PIVOT randomised trial over a 12 month period, to evaluate the functional outcomes of the incidence of PSF in PnR versus PPV following RRD surgery. One hundred and fifty-eight patients were recruited and...
Intranasal combined dexmedetomidine and intranasal midazolam-ketamine sedation efficacy and associations in childhood strabismus surgery
The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of intranasal combined dexmedetomidine (D) and intranasal midazolam-ketamine (MK) sedation and their effects on the occurrence of oculocardiac reflex in children’s strabismus surgery. The study recruited 37 children to each...
