Corneal biomechanics and refractive outcomes after cataract surgery
The authors aimed to study a range of corneal properties and correlate them with refractive outcomes after phacoemulsification. Outcomes were reviewed in a fairly small group of 40 patients (including only right eyes) operated by two surgeons using clear corneal...
Outcomes with small aperture IOLs
This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes following the implantation of an extended depth of focus small-aperture intraocular lens (IOL) (IC-8; AcuFocus, Irvine, CA) for presbyopia correction when implanted monocularly or binocularly. Visual outcomes, defocus curve, patient satisfaction, and...
Corneal neurotisation with an allograft
This is the first reported use of an acellular nerve allograft for corneal neurotisation. Seven patients received a 7cm long commercially prepared acellular nerve allograft. This was coapted to a functioning supratrochlear, supraorbital or infraorbital nerve and then tunnelled to...
Surgical outcomes for intermittent exotropia of the same angle
The authors evaluated the long-term surgical outcomes and associated factors in patients with the same preoperative angle of deviation in intermittent exotropia after undergoing the same amount of bilateral rectus muscle recession. This was a retrospective review of 102 patients...
Glaucoma screening in primary care and community settings
Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of irreversible blindness in the United States due to its insidious progression and diagnosis in late stages. The cost-effectiveness of screening for glaucoma has been debated, and screening of high-risk groups for...
Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty: surgical management of congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy
This retrospective case series reports the long-term outcomes of Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) with suture assisted donor lenticular assisted donor lenticule insertion in paediatric patients with congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy (CHED). Thirty eyes of 16 patients were reviewed and...
Medial rectus recession for Mobius sequence
The authors reviewed the long-term outcomes of medial rectus (MR) recession alone for Mobius sequence. This was a retrospective review. Surgery involved recession of 4-6.5mm plus inferior transposition if needed for V pattern. Success was defined as within 8PD of...
Accuracy of intraocular lens power calculations in paediatric eyes
A study comparing the accuracy of the SRK II, SRK/T, Hoffer Q, Holladay 1, T2 and Super formula in predictive refractive outcomes in children undergoing primary IOL insertion into the capsular bag following cataract surgery. A total of 377 eyes...
Surgical results in spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)
Patients with SCA frequently develop ocular motility abnormalities including nystagmus, abnormal smooth pursuits, dysmetric saccades, divergence paresis and ophthalmoplegia. Incidence of diplopia is higher in SCA type 3. The purpose of this study was to evaluate surgical responses and outcomes...
Treatment efficacy of stage 4 ROP
This study aimed to determine the efficacy of combined vitrectomy and anti-VEGF injection for advanced stage 4 ROP with extensive neovascular proliferation (NF). The study included nine infants; six bilateral and three unilateral. Seven were female and the mean gestational...
Long-term follow-up of OPGs in neurofibromatosis type 1
This retrospective observational case series reports outcomes of children followed-up for at least 10 years with optic pathway glioma (OPGs) related to neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) between January 1985 and July 2007. They observed 45 children for a mean of...
