This review examines how the extracellular matrix (ECM) is remodelled throughout uveal melanoma development, from the eye to the liver. Uveal melanoma, the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults, carries a poor prognosis due to its propensity for hepatic...
Outcomes of primary vertical strabismus in Duane retraction syndrome
In this study, the authors report the clinical profile and surgical outcomes in patients with Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) who presented with significant primary position hypertropia. This was a retrospective study of 590 patients with DRS, of which 18 had...
Differential diagnosis of sagging eye syndrome and superior oblique palsy using objective and subjective measurements
The authors compared subjective cyclovertical deviation in different gaze positions and objective ocular torsion between elderly patients with sagging eye syndrome (CSES) and superior oblique palsy (SOP) diagnoses from clinical findings with a view that subjective and objective measures may...
Risk factors identified for patients requiring further strabismus surgery
