Brain abnormality as risk factor for consecutive exotropia
The authors evaluated and compared the cerebral MRI findings in operated infantile esotropia cases with and without consecutive exotropia. This was a retrospective study of 28 patients. Group 1 had 17 cases of consecutive exotropia with a mean follow-up of...
A robotic armrest for ophthalmic surgery
Robot-assisted ophthalmic surgery has been the focus of intense interest in recent years. In this study, the authors tested the potential utility of a robotic armrest in ophthalmic surgery. The iArmS device consists of a forearm rest attached to a...
A novel way to distinguish between types of anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy
The authors evaluate the monocyte to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (MHR) in patients with arteritic and non arteritic anterior ischaemic optic neuropathy (A-AION / NA-AION). A distinction between the two types of AION is essential to begin appropriate treatment, which...
Topical steroids and ptosis surgery
This is a retrospective review examining the effect of prior topical steroid use on patients undergoing ptosis surgery. Out of a total of 406 eyelids undergoing ptosis repairs, 44 had received topical steroids for an average of 3.7 years prior...
Prism adaptation vs. augmented surgery for esotropia
Prism adaptation and the augmented surgery formula are different tools of surgical augmentation. The purpose of this study was to compare these two methods in the management of acquired concomitant esotropia. This was a prospective study of 40 patients with...
Changes in drusen and retinal layer volumes prior to CNV development
This retrospective longitudinal study looked at patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in one eye who subsequently developed wet AMD in the fellow eye. The aim was to discover whether drusen characteristics or volumes of retinal layers correlate with...
Caffeine concentration in the vitreous after drinking coffee
Caffeine is known to penetrate many bodily fluids, including the vitreous. In this prospective study, investigators measured caffeine levels in vitreous samples from patients undergoing vitrectomy and epiretinal membrane peel. Patients were divided into habitual and non-habitual coffee drinkers. One...
Esotropia Duane’s syndrome (DRS) surgery
The authors aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of augmented superior rectus transposition surgery with / without medial rectus (MR) recession versus MR recession along in the treatment of esotropic DRS. This was a prospective randomised trial of 20...
LACTOSE control score for exotropia
The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of change in control over multiple measurements in a single clinic visit using the Look and Cover, then Ten seconds of Observation Scale for Exotropia (LACTOSE) scoring system in patients...
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)....
What is paracentral acute middle maculopathy?
This is a review article characterising a clinical entity called paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM). The article highlights the fact that retinal capillary plexuses are organised predominantly into three trilaminar capillary layers occupying the area between the nerve fibre layer...
