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...
RCT of VR training versus occlusion for amblyopia
The purpose of this study was to compare the visual outcomes of occlusion with game playing through a virtual reality (VR) system in children with unilateral amblyopia. The study was undertaken at the Negah Eye Hospital in Iran. This was...
Pilot trial of virtual reality to treat amblyopia beyond the age of seven years
A pilot double-blind randomised controlled trial is presented. Patients were required to be between seven and 38 years of age, have a diagnosis of anisometropic and / or strabismus unilateral amblyopia, visual acuity in the amblyopic eye between 0.3-1.0 LogMAR...
Divergence insufficiency esotropia is increasingly more common and new theory of aetiology
The authors present a retrospective case review of acquired esotropia. An internal database was reviewed for cases of esotropia and divergence insufficiency between 1978 and 2018 and seen by a single ophthalmologist. Patients with initial presentation of esotropia onset after...
Combined versus traditional photocoagulation treatment for aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (APROP)
The purpose was to report the outcomes of the combined treatment of sparing laser photocoagulation and intravitreal Bevacizumab (IVB) treatment versus conventional laser photocoagulation intervention in APROP. This was a study of 18 eyes of nine infants. One was excluded...
Lived experience with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC)
This study was undertaken to explore the experience of living with VKC. Nine families were interviewed – paired interviews with patients and parents using semi-structured approaches (May-October 2018). Interviews continued until data saturation was reached with no new information. The...
Presenting and diagnostic signs of retinoblastoma
This study revisits the presenting signs of retinoblastoma (RB) in the context of current best practice with respect to diagnosis and assessment of RB. This was a retrospective review of 131 consecutive cases, excluding those with positive family history over...
Exotropic angle by PACT vs under translucent cover
The authors aimed to validate the photographic analysis with a translucent cover by comparing the results obtained from this analysis with the angle obtained by prism cover test (PACT) in patients with intermittent exotropia. This was a retrospective review of...
Combination surgical management for congenital lacrimal duct obstruction
The authors aimed to report the clinical outcomes of antegrade balloon dacryocystoplasty (DCP) followed by pushed-type monocanalicular (MC), combined as a primary management for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO). This was a retrospective study of 62 eyes (48 patients) with...
Surgery technique for subluxation in Marfan syndrome
The authors evaluated the efficacy and safety of bimanual capsulorrhexis combined with sutureless scleral-fixated IOL implant in children with Marfan syndrome. Seven children (14 eyes) with subluxated lenses underwent bilateral surgery; four female, three male with mean age of 7.1...
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...
