Main indications to start systemic immunomodulatory drugs were: uveitis not controlled by oral prednisolone (94.1%), specific...
Retinal thickness and visual acuity change correlations after amblyopia occlusion therapy
This prospective study aimed to assess change in retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and macular thickness, and clinical correlations with visual outcomes, after amblyopia treatment in 30 children with moderate to severe amblyopia. Mean age of children was 5.26 ±1.65...
Lebanese refractive amblyopia risk factors within school systems
This study investigated the frequency and types of refractive amblyogenic risk factors in a community-based cohort of Lebanese children aged 3–6 years with comparison of public and private school students. The study included 990 students (1980 eyes): 278 public and...
AI glaucoma screening cost-effective in the Netherlands?
Population-wide screening for glaucoma has traditionally been deemed not cost-effective due to high costs and low disease prevalence. This Dutch study re-evaluates this position by introducing artificial intelligence (AI) to the screening model. The authors developed a health-economic model comparing...
Quality of Instagram posts about amblyopia
The purpose of this study was to better understand the availability, accuracy and extent of information available on Instagram about amblyopia. The authors evaluated content of the top 200 publicly available Instagram posts about amblyopia from October–December 2022. Posts were...
Surgical outcomes of primary recess/resection vs readvancement/recession surgery for exotropia
This study compared the surgical yield of primary lateral rectus and medial rectus recession/resection (RR) surgery for basic exotropia, convergence insufficiency type exotropia (CIXT) and divergence excess (DXS) vs. patients undergoing medial rectus readvancement (MRR) +/- lateral rectus recession for...
Science maps to outline emerging topics in strabismus
Science maps show the current status of research in a specific field – a form of scientometrics. Co-word analysis is an example of graphic modelling in which keywords are used to study the conceptual structure of a research field. In...
Three-year results of 0.01% and 0.1% loading dose atropine treatment including washout in Danish children with myopia: a placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trial
This was a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomised clinical trial of 97 children to examine the safety and efficacy of low-dose atropine (0.1% and 0.01% loading dose) after 2-year treatment and 1-year washout in 6–12-year-old Danish children with myopia. Ninety-one children were...
Anti-VEGF injections and macular atrophy progression in patients with nAMD in remission
This is a retrospective study of 59 eyes with neovascuar age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) with at least 6-month remission, to determine the effect of continuing anti-VEGF injections on the progression of macular atrophy (MA) during remission of nAMD. Group 1...
Current and emerging strategies for myopia control
This is a review of the current literature and strategies for myopia control. It discusses the epidemiology of myopia, the classification of myopia and the current treatment strategies. It presents data from landmark papers while discussing treatment strategies which they...
Comparison of degradation of stereoacuity with reduced visual input
The aim of this study was to investigate the differing extents to which stereo thresholds obtained with Frisby, TNO, Lang Stereopad and ASTEROID stereo tests are affected by changes in visual input in adults. Bangerter foils (0.2 and 0.4) were...
