GA position of eyes
The authors assessed eye position based on the corneal reflex position (Hirschberg test) using a standardised measurement on pictures taken at the preoperative evaluation and under general anaesthesia (GA) in 41 patients. The mean ocular deviation taken at the preoperative...BOAS 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting

Adjustment under topical anaesthesia in children
This is a study of 19 cases of strabismus surgery using topical aesthetic and intraoperative adjustment in selected children. The study included 14 males and five females with mean age of 12.68 ±2.5 years (range 8-16). Five were esotropia and...
Speculum use increases IOP in newborn measurements
The authors aimed to investigate the effect on using an eyelid speculum (Barraquer wire eyelid speculum) on IOP measurement in newborns with a mean age of 37 weeks under topical anesthesia. Mean gestational age at birth and mean post-conceptual age...International Women’s Day 2025: In Conversation With Dr Michelle Le Cheminant
Women make up 70% of the global health and social workforce but hold only 25% of leadership roles. In ophthalmology, women represent just 25-30% of ophthalmologists. Research shows that hospitals with increased female surgeons and anesthetists have lower odds of...
An alternative to povidone-iodine for intravitreal injections?
While povidone-iodine (5% aqueous) preparations have historically been considered the most effective antimicrobial prophylaxis for ophthalmic procedures and have been adopted as routine for intravitreal injections, post-procedure pain is a commonly recognized adverse event of IVI and has typically been...
Lateral rectus transposition for vertical rectus muscle palsy
This study reports the surgical outcomes of patients with vertical rectus palsy in whom the vertical duction deficit is worse in abduction than in adduction. The procedure involved lateral rectus belly transposition without muscle splitting or disinsertion. The lateral rectus...
Diplopia after cataract surgery – risk factors
The risk factors for binocular diplopia after uncomplicated cataract surgery in adults were studied to analyse the patterns of ocular motility and clinical causes. This was a retrospective review of 40 patients; 25 female. Onset of diplopia was at a...
Dexmedetomidine vs remifentanil for reduction of postoperative agitation
Postoperative agitation is a common anaesthetic complication in children with a significant impact to care and outcomes. The authors studied preschool children to compare the effect of intravenous administration of dexmedetomidine and remifentanil on postoperative agitation following strabismus surgery under...
How do immediate and sequential bilateral cataract surgery compare?
The authors present a retrospective cohort study with the aim of comparing the outcomes and complications of immediate sequential bilateral cataract surgery (ISBCS) and delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery (DSBCS). Children (aged 0–24 months) undergoing bilateral cataract surgery at a...
GA vs. office measures of axial length
Axial lengths were compared in an office setting versus under general anaesthetic (GA) to determine if awake office measures are feasible and whether differences in measures occur in both settings. The study included 33 eyes of 19 children; 84% male,...
