Ocular motor score in spastic hemiplegia
The authors aimed to assess the oculomotor functions in children with spastic hemiplegia (SH) caused by different brain pathologies and evaluate the results obtained by the ocular motor score (OMS). The study included 34 children with a median age of...
IOP and reversibility of RPE detachment
The authors describe how three patients with retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) detachment showed a reduction or disappearance of an RPE detachment immediately following prone dark room test (PDRT). The authors performed spectralis OCT on 140 angle closure subjects before and...
Suture tensile strength
The effect of solutions commonly used in strabismus surgery were evaluated on 6-0 polyglactin suture tensile strength. The method involved a simple dead load test. Specimens of 6-0 suture were loaded in tension until breakage. This was repeated on 10...
Amblyopia treatment review
This review paper summarises the main causes and neural mechanisms that characterise amblyopia. The authors analysed neuroanatomical, neurophysiological and electrophysiological studies in the literature to better understand actual treatment regimens and evaluate new therapeutic possibilities. They considered causes of strabismus,...
Measuring IPD with PlusoptiX
The authors evaluated the accuracy of the PlusoptiX A04 for measuring pupillary distance as compared to measurements taken by a trained optician. This retrospective review included 256 children who had undilated PA04 screening and had pupil distance measurement done by...
Plusoptix referral criteria
The authors compared various referral criteria on the same group of patients to determine the sensitivity, specificity and predictive value of each. They also programmed the plusoptix to use the 2013 American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) referral...
Orthoptic slit-lamp
Adaptations are described that allow the slit-lamp to be used to document squint disorders. Changes are made in the observation system, illumination system, for recording clinical findings and visualisation of clinical findings. The author includes the use of minus lens...
Risk factors for consecutive XT
The authors report a retrospective study to investigate possible risk factors leading to consecutive exotropia development in patients who underwent two muscle strabismus surgery to achieve an initial alignment within 10PD. The exotropia group included 25 female and 22 males....
Risk factor for surgical failure in consecutive XT
This study was designed to determine the success rate among patients with consecutive exotropia after choosing an appropriate surgical method based on medial rectus function and level of exo deviation. The authors conducted an interventional case series study of 40...
Cyclo spray vs. drops
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether cyclo spray is better tolerated than cyclo drops and to assess the adequacy of cycloplegia achieved by spray for objective refraction. Cyclo drops were given to 72 children and cyclo spray...
Normal values with Orbscan IIz corneal topography
This study aimed to establish a database of normative measurements of corneal typography in children aged 5-15 years with the Orbscan IIz corneal topography system. They assessed 100 eyes of 100 children. The mean SimK astigmatism was 0.69±0.35D. The maximum...
