Characteristics of ptosis in Iranian children
A cross-section study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of ptosis (congenital and acquired) and its risk factors in Iranian children. The target population was children aged seven years in urban areas of Iran. Seventy schools of eight cities were...Normal values with Orbscan IIz corneal topography
This study aimed to establish a database of normative measurements of corneal typography in children aged 5-15 years with the Orbscan IIz corneal topography system. They assessed 100 eyes of 100 children. The mean SimK astigmatism was 0.69±0.35D. The maximum...Refractive changes after surgery
A long-term follow-up study was conducted to report power vector analysis of refractive astigmatic changes in a large group of 137 patients (250 eyes) undergoing horizontal strabismus surgery. Fifty-four percent were male. The average age was 9.22±8.21 years. Fifty-five percent...Topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy in the treatment of corneal scarring
This study reports the outcome of topography-guided photorefractive keratectomy (TG-PRK) in the treatment of patients with corneal scarring. A retrospective case series including six eyes of six patients with corneal scarring and irregular astigmatism who underwent topography guided PRK. The...Retreatment of myopic LASIK with femtosecond and custom ablation

Enhancement, laser in situ keratomeliusis, vision correction
The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors for retreatment post laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). A retrospective chart review was carried out for a four-year period and all patients who had undergone LASIK at the Boston...
How does low-concentration atropine reduce progression of myopia?
This is a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial evaluating the effects of low-concentration atropine (0.05%, 0.025%, 0.01%) on ocular biometrics of myopic children. The aim is to determine what aspect of ocular biometrics low-concentration atropine influenced in reducing the progression of...Scheimpflug imaging in paediatric glaucoma
The authors undertook this study to report the corneal tomographic characteristics of eyes that had surgery for controlled primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) compared to a control group. The study included 44 eyes of 27 children (18 males) having surgery for...Screening outcomes for Syrian refugee children
This study compared two commonly used photoscreeners in a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan to better understand what types of technology would function best in a low-resource setting. The children in this study were assessed with the PEEK acuity application...Management of traumatic corneal perforations with anterior lamellar techniques: The mini-DSAEK

EYE - Cornea
The authors present the first case report in which a mini (reduced diameter) Descemet’s stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (mini-DSAEK) has been used to manage a traumatic corneal perforation. A 69-year-old male presented with 6/36 best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) and...
Changes in axial length and refraction in young Chinese school children
The authors aimed to assess refractive error and axial length in children aged seven to eight years (grades 1-2) starting education in South China. The study reviewed 301 students and obtained data for analysis from 291 (50.2% female). Average axial...Refraction planning in cataract: avoid creating an unhappy patient
“It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has.” William Osler The focus of this paper is the prevention of an unhappy patient following cataract...Temporal versus nasal clear corneal incisions

cataract surgery, corneal shape change, nasal clear corneal incision, temporal clear corneal incision
This is a prospective randomised study of 100 patients’ left eye having undergone phacoemulsification either by a 2.4mm nasal clear corneal incision (CCI) group or temporal CCI group. The corneal astigmatic changes were compared between groups by power vector analysis,...
