Testing fusional amplitude
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of varied testing distance and order of testing on fusion amplitudes in subjects with normal eye examinations, along with impact of examination encouragement and subject level of alertness. Average age...
TAC testing in dementia
The aim was to assess the visual acuity measurements performed by the preferential looking method using Teller acuity cards (TAC) in elderly subjects with dementia due to probable Alzheimer’s disease. The mean age was 78.2±9.11 years for patients and 77.2±6.19...
Correlation between anti-retinal antibodies and proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR)
The pathological basis of PVR is not clearly understood and there are no effective medications targeting this condition. This cross-sectional study looked at the possible association of anti-retinal antibodies with patients with PVR and retinal detachment (RD). Aqueous and vitreous...
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,...
Effects of blood donation on the physiology of the eye
Hypovolaemia is a state of decreased blood volume, the reduction of which reduces tissue perfusion which may in turn lead to cellular hypoxia and end-organ damage. In blood donation, 500ml of blood is collected in ten minutes. This equates to...
Effect of phacoemulsification on facility of outflow
This is a prospective study to examine the change in electronic Schotz tonographic outflow (TOF) and IOP measurements after phacoemulsification. Intraocular pressure was measured using Goldman‘s applanation tonography (GAT). Data were collected at baseline, three, six and 12 months postoperatively....
Angle of deviation measurements in seated and supine positions
The objectives of this study were to compare ocular deviation between the seated and decubitus positions in the operating room and assess the outcomes at one day, one month and three months postoperatively. This prospective study included 30 cases; two...
IINS function
This study explored the impact of idiopathic infantile nystagmus syndrome (IINS) on quality of life in adults measured using the VFQ25 questionnaire. Of 38 subjects, 35 completed the questionnaire. Mean age was 35.1±13.0 years; 15 were British Caucasian and 14...
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...
Postnatal weight gain as adjunct to ROP screening
The purpose of this study was to assess postnatal weight gain as a tool to stratify infants at risk of developing severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in a US Midwestern neonatal ICU cohort. The authors sought to develop a simpler...
OCT-A imaging in Grave’s orbitopathy and orbital decompression
In this case series of 12 patients and 24 orbits, the authors describe the changes in the optic nerve and peripapillary blood vessel density in patients with moderate to severe Grave’s Orbitopathy (GO) undergoing orbital decompression. The patients undergoing orbital...
