Is laser refractive surgery safe for patients taking isotretinoin?
This multicentre, retrospective, interventional case series assesses the outcomes of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in 113 patients taking isotretinoin between January 2003 and September 2017. Isotretinoin is contraindicated for LASIK and PRK and patients are...
Piggyback toric IOLs in complex cases
This study evaluates the outcome of toric sulcus fixated lenses (MS 614/714 TPB (Human Optics, Germany) in 21 eyes with high astigmatism. The cases included previous penetrating keratoplasty (n=15), post cataract surgery astigmatism (n=3), rotation of in-the-bag toric IOL (n=1),...
Surgery for myopic esotropia
The authors report a modified Jenson procedure for the treatment of high axial myopic esotropia. Their study includes 15 eyes of 13 patients with a mean age of 50±10.4 years. Mean spherical refraction was -22.53±6.06 dioptres. Mean axial length was...
Choice of cycloplegia regime
The purpose of this randomised control trial (RCT) was primarily to compare the refractive outcome of atropine 0.5% (A) instilled twice daily at home 2.5 days before measurement versus two drops of 1% cyclopentolate (CC) in one eye versus one...
OCT angiography findings in amblyopic eyes
In this study, optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) was used to detect the existence of any vascular dysfunction in superficial and deep retinal layers that accompany visual impairment in amblyopic eyes compared to fellow and control eyes. The study included...
Measurement considerations in OCT results with suspected glaucoma
The purpose of this study was to determine retinal nerve fibre (RNFL) thickness parameters and assess the relationship between the cup-to-disc (CD) ratio and RNFL measurements of paediatric patients who had optic nerve appearance suspicious for glaucoma based on enlarged...
OCT angiography metrics in children
This prospective study aimed to quantify the vessel density of both the macular and optic nerve and foveal avascular zone (FAZ) values in 92 normal eyes of 92 children (42 boys, 50 girls) aged 13.4 ±2.65 years (seven to 18)....
Prisms to treat AACE
Of 128 patients reviewed with binocular dysfunction, 30 (23.4%) had acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE). These patients complained of sudden onset diplopia at distance with no or moderate problems at near. There was no previous history of strabismus. Mean age...
Posterior capsular rupture risk factors as reported in the European registry
In this cross-sectional review of the European Registry of Quality Outcomes for Cataract and Refractive Surgery (EUREQUO) including 2,853,376 patients and 31,749 cases with posterior capsular rupture (PCR), the authors observed a trend of reduction in PCR rate from 1.44%...
Medium-term outcomes following photo screening
A photo-screening project of preverbal children was conducted in 2016 in Portugal consisting of enrolment of two-year-old children and referral of these if having a positive screen to paediatric ophthalmology plus a screen of four-year-old children who missed or had...
Paediatric ophthalmology five-year results of atropine 0.01% efficacy in the myopia control in a European population
This a prospective, randomised and longitudinal study from Madrid, Spain in 361 eyes from 361 children randomised into the control group (177 eyes with no treatment) and the treatment group (184 eyes with 0.01% atropine drops once daily). Complete eye...
