Measuring cyclotorsion

The aim of this study was to investigate if different methods of measuring cyclotorsion (synoptophore, KM screen test and single Maddox rod test) produce the same results and if these values are repeatable in adult patients. For the synoptophore, the...

PALs use for convergence excess esotropia

This retrospective study includes a disparate group of 39 esotropic patients with an accommodative element from two different clinics with differing prescribing practices. Seven children were excluded due to previous treatment or insufficient follow-up. In all patients single vision glasses...

Associations of esotropia with shunts

This study explored the characteristics and outcomes of children with esotropia and ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt placement due to hydrocephalus. The authors conducted a retrospective study of 16 patients (nine female, seven male) aged three months to 5.6 years (mean 17...

Change in infantile exotropia

This study investigated the clinical course of patients with infantile exotropia who initially presented with a small exo deviation of 10-18 prism dioptres. Eighty-six patients were reviewed: 35 with follow-up of >2 years without surgery and 51 with surgery. The...

Effect of low-dose atropine on myopia progression

A randomised study to evaluate the effects of 0.01% and 0.02% atropine eye drops (one drop once nightly to both eyes) on myopic progression, pupil diameter and accommodative amplitude in myopic patients. Four hundred myopic children were divided into three...

Ocular motility parameters in phakic and pseudophakic older people

The aim of this study was to compare the extent of phoria, strabismus and convergence of pseudophakic vs phakic people in an elderly population. The study was part of the Tehran Geriatric Eye Study (TGES). Of 3791 invitees, 3310 participated...

Long-term motor and sensory outcomes after surgery for high AC/A ratio esotropia

This study reports the long-term ocular alignment and sensory outcomes after medial rectus recession for high accommodative convergence to accommodation (AC/A) ratio esotropia with a minimum postoperative follow-up of five years. The study included 34 patients (16 male); 31 had...

iPad game for screening of amblyopia

This study investigates the utility of vision screening using an iPad to measure interocular brightness disparity (retinal rivalry) for detecting amblyopia in paediatric populations. Polarised glasses were used to separate binocular stimuli with an interactive video programme. This was a...

Meta-analysis of HLA B27 associated acute anterior uveitis

A literature-based meta-analysis was carried out to look at the various clinical features associated with HLA- B27 acute anterior uveitis (AAU). After an extensive search of literature for HLA B27 uveitis was conducted, 735 results were obtained. Twenty-nine articles were...
