Sustainability in eyecare: Are virtual clinics the way forward in the diagnosis and monitoring of retinal disease?
Virtual clinics can be used successfully in screening and management of ocular conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity and age-related macular degeneration. Virtual clinics should be a considered as a more clinically appropriate modality of consultation, diagnosis and...
A pattern surgery
The authors describe the efficacy and safety of superior oblique (SO) hang-back recession with A pattern strabismus and SO overaction. A pattern was defined as a difference of >10PD from elevation to depression. SO overaction was graded as +1 to...
Cyanoacrylate vs. fibrin glue
This study compared the safety and efficacy of fibrin and cyanoacrylate glue for refixating the recessed muscle to the sclera in patients undergoing strabismus surgery. The fibrin group (a) included 21 eyes of 15 patients; mean age of 11.6 ±7.49...
Slanted MR surgery for convergence excess ET
The authors aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of bilateral slanted recessions of the medial rectus (MR) muscles in patients with convergence excess esotropia (ET). This retrospective study included 16 patients with a mean age at surgery of 5.6 ±3.05...
Surgical prediction in infantile ET
The purpose was to evaluate the preoperative factors influencing the efficacy of the surgical procedure of bilateral lateral rectus recessions. Fifty cases with at least one year follow-up were included for retrospective analysis. Mean response to surgery was 2.17±0.80 PD/mm...
Bilateral LR recession for DRS
This study reports the use of bilateral lateral rectus (LR) recessions instead of unilateral LR recession for unilateral exotropic Duane’s retraction syndrome (DRS) with abnormal head posture. This was a retrospective study of seven patients; five female and two male....
Use of bovine pericardium for tendon elongation
A retrospective analysis was conducted on all patients treated in one centre with tendon elongation using bovine pericardium (BP) to examine outcomes and long-term safety. The study included 60 patients; 27 unilateral and 33 bilateral cases. Follow-up of one to...
Infantile exotropia and developmental delay
This is a retrospective review of infants requiring surgery for infantile exotropia before the age of one year to report the surgical outcomes and frequency of associated developmental problems. The study reviewed 26 patients first assessed at two to 10...
Predictive measure for alignment stability
The authors aimed to determine whether a correlation exists between the immediate operative alignment and future alignment in fixed suture strabismus surgery. This study enrolled 54 patients; seven were lost to follow-up so results are presented for 47 cases. Mean...
Using fusion measures to guide strabismus surgery
In this study the authors targeted patients with non-accommodative decompensating distance esotropia with investigation of prior binocular single vision. Choice of target angle was based on the individual’s fusional amplitudes. The target angle aimed to be less than the distance...
Medial rectus recessions for ACE
The goals of this study were to describe the clinical features of acute concomitant esotropia (ACE), analyse the surgical results and evaluate correlations with clinical variables. This was a retrospective study of 15 patients with mean age of 39.2±10.7 years;...
