Use of RAPDx device with optic nerve disease
The authors have previously reported on use of the RAPDx device for evaluating relative afferent pupillary defects (RAPD). RAPDx objectively determines the magnitude of RAPD by presenting light stimuli alternately to pairs of eyes with laterality. The parameters of amplitude...
Differential inhibition of EAU by CTLA4 and IL-6
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA4) binds both CD80 and Cd86 and inhibits T lymphocyte activation via CD28. Il-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that has been associated with many autoimmune conditions including uveitis. Blockade of these molecules by either CTLA4-Ig, a...
N-T asymmetry in tracking eye movements
The current study aimed to quantify and compare the visual tracking responses of two sensory induced strabismic juvenile monkeys during monocular smooth pursuit, ocular following response and optokinetic nystagmus (OKN). Monkey 1 had esotropia and monkey 2 had exotropia. Both...
Ametropic amblyopia and stereopsis
This study aimed to evaluate the correlations between ametropic amblyopia (hypermetropic – 110, myopic – 30, and astigmatic – 65) and stereopsis in 205 children – mean age of 5.2 years ±1.8. For near stereopsis, significant results were found for...
Vision screening opinion
The aim of this paper is to describe experts’ perceptions of best practice guidelines and competency frameworks for visual screening in children. A focus group of approximately 75 minutes duration consisted of five orthoptists and two paediatric ophthalmologists with more...
Evaluating ocular motor functions
Traditionally orthoptists are specialised in assessing ocular motor disorders. This article introduces the ocular motor score as a new clinical tool for screening and follow-up for children and young adults. The protocol consists of 15 tests such as stereoacuity, strabismus,...
Positives and negatives of managing diplopia in adults with prisms
This study recruited consecutive patients prescribed prisms during a two-year period, within set criteria of a deviation up to 30 prism diopters, good fusion, willingness to wear prisms and no previous unsuccessful use of prisms. The majority of cases had...
Computer-assisted surgery in the orbit
In this paper the authors describe the growing use of computer-assisted surgery in ophthalmology. It is already described as a powerful adjunct in neurosurgery and sinus surgery and here they describe their experience of using it for the orbit; specifically...
Using a fenestration technique for partially accommodative esotropia
The authors evaluate a fenestration technique which is described as a modified sutureless hang-back recession, for cases of partially accommodative esotropia, in a prospective non-controlled cohort. Children under 10-years-old with full accommodative correction and a partially accommodative esotropia between 10...
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...
Bilateral versus unilateral recession outcomes for intermittent exotropia
The aim of this study was to compare surgical motor and sensory outcomes of unilateral versus bilateral lateral rectus recessions in children with small angle intermittent exotropia. This was a retrospective study of 55 patients; 28 bilateral and 27 unilateral...
