Factors associated with presence of stereopsis in early treatment of refractive esotropia
The authors investigate the factors affecting better stereopsis outcomes in 29 patients with refractive accommodative esotropia with an age of onset within 6 months of life who were successfully treated. The study included 17 males and 12 females with mean...
Limitations of next generation sequencing
This is a report of a young female patient with clinically diagnosed retinitis pigmentosa who underwent genetic testing using an inherited retinal disease panel and whole exome sequencing by next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. This approach did not identify any...
Long-term risk calculation of retinal detachment in childhood myopia
The aim was to examine the risk of retinal detachment in children with myopia over a 10-year follow-up period. This was a retrospective cohort study using the TriNet X platform which houses anonymised electronic patient records from 180 healthcare groups....
Clinical characteristics of AACE
In this study, the authors aimed to categorise the demographics and clinical characteristics and medical evaluation results in patients with adult acute onset comitant esotropia (AACE). This was a retrospective study of 268 patients; 62.7% female, 84% white, with mean...The most memorable patient encounters and what they taught me

Influence of hormone treatment on choroidal development in isolated growth hormone deficiency patients
This study evaluated retinal parameters and choroidal structure in children with isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) to compare them with healthy children and to find out if these parameters are affected by recombinant human growth hormone treatment. This was an...
Can a monocular occlusion test for assessing divergence excess intermittent exotropia be accurate and quicker?
The authors investigated whether a 15-minute monocular occlusion test is as effective as the traditional 45-minute monocular occlusion test in assessing patients with divergence excess intermittent exotropia. The prospective, randomised observational study included 22 children aged 5–14 years. Children with...
Incidental ocular surface squamous neoplasia in pterygia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
This is a systematic review of 12 papers, which included 8688 participants and identified 202 cases of incidental ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) (pooled prevalence=1.32%, 95% confidence interval (CI), I2=95.3%). Meta-regression showed that lower OSSN prevalence was associated with greater...
Occurrence and characteristics of retinal detachment after primary congenital glaucoma surgery
The authors aimed to report on retinal detachment in eyes that had surgery for primary congenital glaucoma (PCG). This was a retrospective study of 13 children (17 eyes) who developed retinal detachment out of a total of 507 eyes of...
Caregiver reports of visual impairment in relation to cognitive and behaviour aspects in children
The authors aimed to explore the association between caregiver-reported visual impairment and cognitive and behavioural measures in children. They conducted a review of the literature plus evaluation of paediatric data from the 2022 National Health Interview survey accessed from the...
