Effect of one versus 24 hours diagnostic occlusion
The purpose of this study was to compare measurements taken after one and 24 hours of diagnostic occlusion in cases of basic and divergence excess types of intermittent exotropia. This was a prospective study of 43 patients (34 females) with...
Exotropia control score versus angle
The authors aimed to evaluate the relationship between family history and deviation control in intermittent exotropia, and the effects of age, sex, angle and refractive status on deviation control. This was retrospective review of 54 patients aged 7.7 ±4 years...
Surgically induced astigmatism after cataract surgery
In this study, the authors analysed a dataset of 122 eyes of 122 patients with pre- and postoperative measurements of corneal astigmatism with IOL Master 700. A standardised 2.5mm superior corneal incision was utilised. The corneal power vector component in...
Depth and width of corneal wounds post corneal foreign body removal
This was a prospective study of 63 eyes of 63 patients undergoing corneal foreign body (FB) removal with a 27G needle at the slit-lamp; 96.8% of the patients were men with mean age 35.8 ±11.0 years. Regarding location of FBs,...
Hughes flap for lower lid retraction
This is a retrospective case series looking at the use of Hughes flap for cicatricial lower lid retraction. Fourteen patients were identified across five different hospitals with varying aetiologies ranging from previous lid lesion excision and reconstruction to trauma. The...
Care providers view on how to improve care for paediatric conjunctivitis
The authors present a qualitative study. Purposeful sampling was used to recruit physicians or advanced practitioners for paediatric care in emergency, urgent or primary care settings. Semi-structured interviews were either held in-person or by telephone. All participants recruited commonly encountered...
FA findings in treatment-naive premature infants
This retrospective study examined fluorescein angiography (FA) images of 162 eyes of 81 treatment-naive infants with retinal vascular immaturity and persistent avascular retina (PAR) despite exceeding postmenstrual age of 60 weeks. Disc diameter (DD), optic disc-to-fovea distance (FD), the length...
Scleral perforation after strabismus surgery
The aim of this study was to report the incidence, risk factors, treatment and outcomes of scleral perforation as a vision-threatening complication of strabismus surgery. The review included 12 papers: four prospective, two retrospective, two surveys, one review, two animal...
Possible mechanism for infant development of secondary glaucoma
The authors consider published evidence with regard to potential causative mechanisms for secondary glaucoma that follows infant lensectomy. They review clinical and laboratory studies. The mechanism they propose is that the original lensectomy surgery releases immature anterior lens cells into...
Comparison of nylon versus polyglactin sutures
The purpose of this study was to compare postoperative complications between incision closure by nylon suture and polyglactin suture in paediatric cataract surgery. This was a prospective single-centre non-randomised study of 82 eyes (41 children) with median age of four...
Long-term improvement of stereopsis in intermittent refractive esotropia
This was a retrospective study to review the records of patients with refractive accommodative esotropia (RAET) to determine long-term stereoacuity (SA) improvement in those that showed initial poor or no stereopsis. The study included 79 patients; 54% male and mean...
