Spot screen versus cycloplegic refraction
This study compared the spherical, cylindrical and spherical equivalent values obtained by the Spot screener before and after induction of cycloplegia with the values of cycloplegic refraction to explore the application value of the Spot screener in refractive error screening...
Alternative diagnosis in cases of poor response to amblyopia therapy
The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of coexistent ocular pathology and identify / describe the factors that contribute to undiagnosed alternate diagnosis and / or co-existent pathology at initial presentation in patients referred as potentially amblyopic....
Binocular viewing amblyopia therapy
The authors compared conventional occlusion therapy for amblyopia with binocular viewing amblyopia therapy (MFBF) for effects on binocular vision and visual acuity. During MFBF the amblyopic eye perceives the target while the fellow eye perceives the background. Both eyes see...
OCT findings after strabismus surgery for macular, choroidal and nerve fibre thickness
