Biomaterials and Regenerative Medicines in Ophthalmology (Second Edition)
With advancement in science and technology in the last decade, the role of biomaterials and regenerative medicines has become increasingly important in the management of various ocular disorders. This book highlights the role of biomaterials in the restoration of vision...
Proprioception and ptosis
This is a small prospective study investigating the effect of proprioceptive factors on upper lid height. Eight unilaterally anophthalmic patients with ocular prostheses and normal lid heights had standardised photographic measurements taken of their eyelid and brow positions. Three sets...
Micropulse vs. continuous wave trans scleral diode cyclophotocoagulation in refractory glaucoma
Continuous wave cyclophotocoagulation (CWCPC) delivers continuous high intensity energy to the ciliary body in an attempt to reduce aqueous secretion and hence lower IOP. It is often used as a treatment of last resort due to the potential side-effects of...
Fixed or variable Muller’s muscle resection
This is a retrospective analysis of 60 patients who underwent posterior approach ptosis surgery utilising a Muller’s muscle resection. The study compares those who underwent a fixed resection length of 7mm of Muller’s muscle with those having a variable resection...
Early structural and functional retinal changes in intermittent exotropia
This study aimed to evaluate and compare spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) and electrophysiological measures in patients with intermittent exotropia and healthy controls, to outline changes in retinal and optic nerve structure and function. This was a cross-sectional...
Outcomes and complications of supramaximal levator resection
This is a report of 35 children with unilateral congenital ptosis who underwent a supramaximal levator resection, involving extensive dissection of levator including cutting Whitnall’s ligament. The average preoperative margin reflex distance to the upper lid (MRD1) was 0.5mm, and...
Patient satisfaction after refractive lens exchange with an EDOF lens
The aim of this study was to identify independent factors associated with postoperative satisfaction after refractive lens exchange with an extended depth of focus intraocular lens (EDOF IOL). Patients who underwent a refractive lens exchange with bilateral implantation of the...
Strabismus surgery outcomes in Zika syndrome
This study describes the surgical treatment for five children with congenital Zika syndrome and horizontal strabismus. Six-month follow-up outcomes are reported. There were three females and two males with mean age at surgery of 36.4 ±0.9 months. All had history...Dramatic myopic shift due to epithelial basement membrane dystrophy
Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD), also known as map-dot-fingerprint dystrophy, is a common anterior corneal disorder affecting approximately 2% of the population [1]. It is characterised by the abnormal maintenance of the basement membrane, resulting in protrusions into the epithelium....
Differences in strabismus surgery outcomes in preterm vs full-time birth infants
This study aimed to analyse motor and sensory outcomes of strabismus surgery in 70 preterm (group 1) and 242 full-term (group 2) infants. Group 1 mean gestational age and birth weight were 31.25 ±2.51 weeks and 1562.70 ±412.82g. Pre and...
