Surgical management of 2 cases of synergistic adduction during elevation; aberrant regeneration
The authors present 2 cases with unusual findings of aberrant regeneration of the third cranial nerve palsy with coexisting sixth cranial nerve palsy. The first case was a 44-year-old male with head trauma from a road traffic accident. The second...
Diagnostic yield of routine metastatic work-up in conjunctival melanoma
Conjunctival melanoma (CM) is a rare but potentially aggressive malignancy of the ocular surface with high rates of local recurrence and metastasis. Eighty-one consecutive patients with invasive conjunctival melanoma treated by the senior author over the course of 23 years...
RCT to detect palpebral fissure changes after horizontal strabismus surgery
The aim of this prospective randomised controlled trial was to compare changes of vertical palpebral fissure h8 after bilateral lateral rectus (BLR) recession vs unilateral lateral rectus recession/medial rectus muscle scleral plication (RRP) for treatment of intermittent exotropia (IXT). Forty...
Use of reduced volume BT as a treatment option for acute onset comitant esotropia
In this study, the effectiveness and safety of botulinum toxin (BT) for patients with acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) and deviation ≤25PD was investigated with comparison of results to conservative prism therapy. Botulinum toxin was undertaken without electromyographic guidance and...
Orthokeratology lens treatment for exophoria of convergence insufficiency type
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of orthokeratology (OK) lenses with an increased comparison factor (ICF) of 1.75D in the treatment convergence insufficiency (CI) exophoria (EP). This was a prospective, self-controlled study of 60 eyes (30...
Lateral rectus superior plication surgery as an option for adult onset esotropia
This study presents results of bilateral superior plication of the lateral rectus for treatment of adult onset esotropia, as a less invasive surgical option. This was a retrospective study of 15 patients with mean age of 51.5 ±12.6 years; 67%...
Short-term effects of atropine measured by OCTA for myopia progression
This was a prospective observation cohort study to evaluate the effect of atropine on axial length (AL), choroidal thickness and choroidal stromal volume (CSV) using swept-source OCT angiography (OCTA). The study included 26 subjects of which 25 had sufficient quality...
Pneumatic trabeculectomy
The authors present a novel technique which uses constant pressure air infusion via the constellation vision system (Alcon Laboratories) to prevent anterior chamber (AC) collapse and intraocular pressure fluctuations during trabeculectomy in high-risk cases. This was a prospective, interventional, non-randomised,...
Investigation of PAX7 positive satellite cells in extraocular muscle surgery
PAX7 is a transcription factor and is expressed in non-active and activated satellite cells. It is needed for muscle progenitor function, survival and expansion. This study investigates the effect of recession/resection surgery on PAX7-positive satellite cells in extraocular muscles of...
Mydrin-P microdrops vs mydrin-P standard drops for ROP examination
This was a non-inferiority prospective randomised controlled trial to compare efficacy and safety of microdrops over standard dose mydrin-P in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening, and to determine optimal time for eye examination after administration of drops. The trial included...
Idebenone for Leber hereditary optic neuropathy
The authors present a meta-analysis of studies reporting the effects of idebenone treatment on visual acuity (VA) in patients with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON), the most common inherited mitochondrial disorder. They included randomised controlled trials, non-randomised controlled trials and...
