Incidental ocular surface squamous neoplasia in pterygia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

This is a systematic review of 12 papers, which included 8688 participants and identified 202 cases of incidental ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) (pooled prevalence=1.32%, 95% confidence interval (CI), I2=95.3%). Meta-regression showed that lower OSSN prevalence was associated with greater...

Occurrence and characteristics of retinal detachment after primary congenital glaucoma surgery

Occurrence of consecutive esotropia after surgery with vs without absorbable sutures

These authors have previously shown that routine use of non-absorbable sutures (NAS) in bilateral medial rectus recession significantly reduces the incidence of consecutive exotropia. This is a follow-up study to compare the incidence of consecutive esotropia after bilateral lateral rectus...

Evaluation of induced incomitance for unilateral vs bilateral medial rectus recession surgery

In this study, the prevalence, magnitude and clinical outcomes of induced incomitance were evaluated following unilateral and bilateral medial rectus recession for non-accommodative esotropia. The study included 43 patients (21 unilateral and 22 bilateral cases). Unilateral cases were a mean...
