Strabismus and binocular summation
The authors conducted a pilot study to investigate the effect of visual noise or background complexity on binocular summation in patients with strabismus. A target embedded in pixel noise was used. The study involved performance of a task detecting a...
Improvements in balance and postural control after strabismus surgery
The authors sought to investigate the effect of surgical correction of strabismus on dynamic balance and postural stability. They recruited 27 children (15 female, 12 male) of which 17 were esotropia and 10 exotropia (including eight intermittent types), aged 7–12...
Case reports of neuro-ophthalmological complications of CIPD
The authors present three cases of neuro-ophthalmological complications of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIPD). CIPD can lead to prominent nerve hypertrophy which can mimic other forms of neuropathy radiologically. In addition, complications can occur which can cause diagnostic difficulties. All...
Ginko bilboa extract affects hypoxic retinal pigment epithelial cells
Wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterised by choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) formation. It is thought that localised hypoxia within the retina results in overexpression of growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which induces CNVM formation. VEGF...
Exotropia symptoms
The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical preoperative symptoms and changes to these postoperatively in patients with exotropia. A non-validated questionnaire with 15 questions was used: three subscales including stereopsis (five questions), ocular fatigue (five questions) and cosmetic...Cutting-edge practice in glaucoma care: what, how and why?
More effective treatments and drug delivery modalities, implantable minimally invasive glaucoma surgical (MIGS) devices, as well as accelerating clinical research programmes, will transform the surgical and clinical management of glaucoma in the near future. There is also an ever-greater emphasis...The paediatric cataract: an overview of the diagnosis and management
In this second article (see first article here), Samuel Aryee and Rhys Dumont Jones review the challenges involved in managing this condition. Examination and diagnosis Cataracts in children can appear in a variety of forms, each presenting in a different...
Associations of esotropia with shunts
This study explored the characteristics and outcomes of children with esotropia and ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt placement due to hydrocephalus. The authors conducted a retrospective study of 16 patients (nine female, seven male) aged three months to 5.6 years (mean 17...
High prevalence of strabismus and variable surgical success in children with developmental delay
On the basis of lack of consensus for the treatment of strabismus in children with developmental delay, the authors reviewed the literature to provide information on the topic and present results from their clinical experience. From the review, they include...
Measuring IPD with PlusoptiX
The authors evaluated the accuracy of the PlusoptiX A04 for measuring pupillary distance as compared to measurements taken by a trained optician. This retrospective review included 256 children who had undilated PA04 screening and had pupil distance measurement done by...
Changing surgery trends from 2009–2020
This paper reports a review of the number and type of surgeries over one decade in a Portuguese hospital. This was a retrospective review of 2050 surgeries. About 70% were strabismus surgery and the remainder included anterior segment and retinopathy...
