Characteristics of age-related distance esotropia
The primary aim of this study was to describe clinical characteristics and natural history of age-related distance esotropia (ARDET) within an adult cohort over a 20-year period. This was a retrospective review of 73 patients from 751 with adult onset...
Surgical management and review of congenital inferior rectus dysgenesis
Three cases are presented of congenital inferior rectus (IR) dysgenesis causing hypertropia. Case 1 was a two-year-old female with intermittent vertical strabismus of 20PD and -2 limitation on depression, worse in abduction. MRI imaging showed a hypoplastic IR. Following surgery,...
RCT of unilateral vs bilateral surgery for lateral incomitance in exotropia
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the surgical outcomes in the management of lateral incomitance with regard to ocular alignment and change in lateral incomitance in cases of bilateral vs. unilateral strabismus surgery. This was a...
Comparison of bupivacaine injection vs. mini-tenotomy for small angle deviations
Bupivacaine hydrochloride is an aminoacyltype local anaesthetic. Injection into extraocular muscles elicits a myotoxic response destroying striated muscle fibres but sparing satellite cells, nerves and vessels. Preserved satellite cells proliferate to form new muscle fibres, causing muscle hypertrophy and greater...
Types of nystagmus and associations in a large international database for nystagmus
The authors aimed to characterise a large international cohort of children with nystagmus. Data were taken from a prospective database which was started in 2010. Up to 2020, this contained 1774 patients with nystagmus from 38 US states and 30...
The use of virtual reality in paediatric ophthalmology
The purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of virtual reality (VR) in the broader field of paediatric ophthalmology with review of examination, screening, diagnosis, prevention and treatment. This review also explores the potential of eye tracking used...
Reporting the development and pilot use of fixable surgical instruments
This study reports the development of instruments to substitute traction sutures during strabismus surgery and to act in place of surgical assistance. Three types of instruments were developed: (1) fixable multi-functional forceps; (2) fixable muscle hook; and (3) fixable retractor....
QuickSee Free autorefractor results in outreach settings
The Gambia screening project was launched in 2022 to provide vision screening for school-aged children. Within this screening programme, the refractive error measurements of the QuickSee Free autorefractor were compared to cycloplegic refraction in this outreach setting. Six rural schools...
BTA as a first-line treatment option for acute acquired comitant esotropia
This study presents results of a single-centre institute use of botulinum toxin A (BTA) as an initial treatment choice for acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE). This was a prospective observational case series study of 72 patients (49 male, 23 female)...
Investigation of PAX7 positive satellite cells in extraocular muscle surgery
PAX7 is a transcription factor and is expressed in non-active and activated satellite cells. It is needed for muscle progenitor function, survival and expansion. This study investigates the effect of recession/resection surgery on PAX7-positive satellite cells in extraocular muscles of...
Outcomes for congenital vs. developmental cataract surgery
This study retrospectively reviewed follow-up data (minimum one year) to evaluate ocular outcomes and the potential factors affecting visual acuity after foldable intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in preschool childhood (up to six years) with bilateral cataract. The study included 43...
