Clinical features of basic acquired nonaccommodative esotropia requiring surgery
Basic acquired nonaccommodative esotropia (BANAET) is a concomitant esotropia occurring after the age of six months without significant refractive error or accommodative element. Esotropia is similar for both near and distance and children have prior binocular single vision. The purpose...
A new technique for correction of medial ectropion with a lax medial canthal tendon
This is a prospective study of a new technique for repair of medial ectropion associated with medial canthal tendon (MCT) laxity. The procedure was performed on 79 eyes and involved excision of an ellipse of tissue from below the punctum...
Comparison of surgical options for basic intermittent exotropia
This study compared the outcomes of three surgical options from one surgeon, to treat basic intermittent exotropia. Surgeries included bilateral lateral rectus recession (BLR), unilateral lateral / medial rectus recession / resection (RR), and unilateral lateral rectus recession and medial...
Childhood blindness and visual impairment in the Narayani Zone of Nepal

Retinoschisis
In this retrospective study the authors evaluate the effect of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling for lamellar macular hole (LMH) with or without macular retinoschisis in highly myopic eyes. Twenty-one highly myopic patients (22 eyes)...
Abducens nerve palsy following surgical correction of craniosynostosis
The authors present two cases of unilateral abducens palsy secondary to a recent trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis (TSuDO) operation for craniosynostosis. The basic principle of the TSuDO procedure is described as dissection and distraction of the prematurely fused sutures. This complication...
Prognosis prediction using clinical findings for fourth nerve palsies
The authors present a retrospective review of a cohort of patients diagnosed with fourth cranial nerve palsy with more than six months follow-up, over a 10-year period at a single centre.

LASIK for myopia progression
The authors hypothesise that corneal reshaping with refractive surgery could have an effect on myopic progression similar to that of orthokeratology because it results in changes to the central cornea and not to the peripheral cornea. This was a retrospective...Optegra Eye Health Care & ZEISS Symposium - Hands-on with latest innovations in ophthalmology
