Pain score assessment in babies undergoing treatment for ROP
The aim of this study was to assess neonatal pain scores during laser treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) under sub-tenon anaesthetic with oral or rectal sedation. Sixty-two babies were included who have had ROP laser treatment over a seven...
Diabetic retinopathy and body fat distribution and adipokine secretion in type 2 diabetics
The major risk factors for diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with diabetes are poor glycaemic or blood pressure control, duration of diabetes and nephropathy related to the severity of DR. Several studies suggest that DR is associated with visceral fat...
TAC testing in dementia
The aim was to assess the visual acuity measurements performed by the preferential looking method using Teller acuity cards (TAC) in elderly subjects with dementia due to probable Alzheimer’s disease. The mean age was 78.2±9.11 years for patients and 77.2±6.19...
Aberrant regeneration rates following traumatic oculomotor palsy
Traumatic oculomotor nerve palsies can result in aberrant regeneration / synkinesis which impairs normal facial function. In this paper, the authors retrospectively reviewed the records of 16 patients with traumatic oculomotor nerve palsies who were treated with or without steroids....
Video game play as amblyopia treatment adjunct
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of monocular video game play as a supplement to occlusion therapy in the treatment of anisometropic amblyopia (AA). This was a prospective study of 68 patients aged six to 14...
Density of cataract and its influence on retinal nerve fibre layer thickness
The aim of this study was to further define and model the influence of cataract on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) image quality and retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness measurements. OCT quality is influenced by opacities in the...
Correlation between peak intraocular pressure following water drinking test and pulsed methylprednisolone therapy
Steroids have long been known to cause increased intraocular pressures (IOP) in susceptible patients. Intravenous methylprednisolone is used to treat many rheumatological conditions and one of the risks is raised intraocular pressure. It would be useful to find patients at...
BT for Duane’s retraction syndrome esotropia
The aim of the study was to evaluate the correction of esotropia and face turn due to Duane’s retraction syndrome (DRS) type I. The mean age was 21 months (12-36 months). The mean dose of botulinum toxin (BT) was 5.6±1.8IU...
Corneal suture sample evaluation
This is a prospective study of 35 patients’ suture samples taken from a tertiary cornea clinic, Miami, Florida, with a history of penetrating keratoplasty. The aim is to study the relationship between corneal suture bacteriology, biofilm and the clinical setting,...
Diclofenac versus Bromfenac after cataract surgery
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are commonly used after cataract surgery to reduce inflammation and cystoid macular oedema (CMO). Diclofenac 0.1% is used three to five times daily for 28 days and Bromfenac 0.09% twice daily for 14 days postoperatively. The...
Modification of surgery to reduce consecutive ET
Surgical treatment for recurrent exotropia (ET) predominantly depends on the primary surgery. Modification of surgical dose may be required in secondary procedures. The aim of this study was to compare surgical outcomes of modified and conventional secondary surgery using lateral...
