Comparison of outcomes of bilateral cataract surgery across different age groups
The authors present a retrospective records review of children who had bilateral cataract surgery between the ages of two and seven years of age over a 23-year period. Children with other ocular pathology and prior surgery were excluded. A minimum...Four rectus muscle surgery for infantile nystagmus syndrome
The authors present a case report of infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) with abnormal head posture (AHP) of face turn, head tilt and chin depression with a single-step surgery of all four horizontal rectus muscles. The case was a 26-year-old male...Prismatic contact lens correction vs prismatic glasses
The aim of this study was to verify if diplopia could be corrected by applying soft directional prism contact lenses, to compare effectiveness of diplopia correction, comfort and quality of vision with these contact lenses compared to prism glasses. This...Supranuclear ocular motility disorders
Figure 1: Bilateral INO Introduction Complex ocular motility disorders are a diagnostic challenge. These patients come with very complex ocular motility presentations and require a careful and detailed assessment in order to find the correct diagnosis and arrange appropriate investigations....Myopia-related strabismus – heavy eye syndrome

EYE - General
Introduction Myopia can be associated with any type of strabismus, but high myopia has increased frequency of esotropia and vertical heterotropia. The incidence and severity of the strabismus increases with the degree of myopia and age of the patient. Classification...
Forward-tilt technique for intraocular pressure measurement in upgaze
The authors suggest a technique to improve the accuracy of measuring IOP in upgaze using Goldmann applanation tonometry. Graves’ ophthalmopathy, also known as thyroid eye disease, is an autoimmune inflammatory condition affecting the orbit and periorbital tissues [1]. It was...Surgery for lost inferior rectus muscle
This prospective study evaluated the impact of simultaneous ipsilateral superior rectus (SR) recession and superior rectus (IO) anterior transposition on the primary position alignment in six patients with traumatic loss of the inferior rectus (IR) muscle. Five males and one...Prism adaptation outcomes in convergence excess esotropia
This study reports the changes to angle of deviation following prism adaptation in a group of 58 patients with convergence excess esotropia and their surgical outcomes. Age at prism adaptation was 7.2 (SD1.82) years. One child refused prisms and two...RCT of VR training versus occlusion for amblyopia
The purpose of this study was to compare the visual outcomes of occlusion with game playing through a virtual reality (VR) system in children with unilateral amblyopia. The study was undertaken at the Negah Eye Hospital in Iran. This was...Efficacy of augmented-dosed surgery versus botulinum toxin A injection for acute acquired concomitant esotropia
This is a retrospective study of 104 patients diagnosed with acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) between 2020 and 2022. Potential factors that influence the dose-response of bilateral medial rectus recession (MRec) and the rate and risk factors for ACCE relapse...College of Optometrists responds to Labour’s partnership plans for eyecare
