Effect of one versus 24 hours diagnostic occlusion
The purpose of this study was to compare measurements taken after one and 24 hours of diagnostic occlusion in cases of basic and divergence excess types of intermittent exotropia. This was a prospective study of 43 patients (34 females) with...
Exotropia control score versus angle
The authors aimed to evaluate the relationship between family history and deviation control in intermittent exotropia, and the effects of age, sex, angle and refractive status on deviation control. This was retrospective review of 54 patients aged 7.7 ±4 years...
Care providers view on how to improve care for paediatric conjunctivitis
The authors present a qualitative study. Purposeful sampling was used to recruit physicians or advanced practitioners for paediatric care in emergency, urgent or primary care settings.

Comparison of outcomes of bilateral cataract surgery across different age groups
The authors present a retrospective records review of children who had bilateral cataract surgery between the ages of two and seven years of age over a 23-year period. Children with other ocular pathology and prior surgery were excluded. A minimum...
Proof of concept for using aqueous humour to detect retinoblastoma variant
A proof of concept study is presented with the aim of assessing the feasibility of using aqueous humour surrogate marker for tumour tissue for identifying retinoblastoma RB1 variant. Three children undergoing enucleation for retinoblastoma were recruited from a single centre....
Possible mechanism for infant development of secondary glaucoma
The authors consider published evidence with regard to potential causative mechanisms for secondary glaucoma that follows infant lensectomy. They review clinical and laboratory studies. The mechanism they propose is that the original lensectomy surgery releases immature anterior lens cells into...
Comparison of nylon versus polyglactin sutures
The purpose of this study was to compare postoperative complications between incision closure by nylon suture and polyglactin suture in paediatric cataract surgery. This was a prospective single-centre non-randomised study of 82 eyes (41 children) with median age of four...
Long-term improvement of stereopsis in intermittent refractive esotropia
This was a retrospective study to review the records of patients with refractive accommodative esotropia (RAET) to determine long-term stereoacuity (SA) improvement in those that showed initial poor or no stereopsis. The study included 79 patients; 54% male and mean...
ROP risk factors
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in two neo-natal units, and included a sub-analysis of infants with gestational age (GA) of ≥28 weeks. A retrospective review was undertaken...
Resection versus plication impact on conjunctival-scleral thickness
In this study the authors aimed to compare the conjunctival-scleral thickness as measured with anterior segment (AS) OCT before and after medial rectus muscle resection or plication for exotropia. This was a prospective study of 7 resection cases and nine...
Modified technique in place of ultrasound biomicroscopy
The authors describe a modified immersion B-scan ultrasonography that includes a standard B scan probe of 10MHz, a surgical glove and sterile saline to fill a finger of the surgical glove – tied off to create the desired immersion standoff...
