Eyelash hair transplantation with strip composite eyebrow graft
In this article, the authors present results of eyelash transplantation with a strip composite eyebrow graft in 22 patients who underwent eyelid reconstruction with tarsoconjunctival flap procedure. The flap was divided at six weeks. The recipient pocket was created by...
Augmented surgery for monocular elevation deficiency
The outcomes are described for augmented lateral rectus superior transposition in cases of acquired monocular elevation deficiency (MED) associated with large hypotropia in primary gaze. The lateral rectus was transposed superiorly and reinserted on sclera between the temporal margin of...
New prognostic model for multiple sclerosis after optic neuritis presentation
The authors present a post-hoc analysis using the publicly available data set from the Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial. The Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to assess for associations between clinical and radiological variables and the development of clinical...
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...
Outcomes of reinjection of Ranibizumab for reactivation of retinopathy of prematurity
The authors present their data from Egypt assessing the effects of Ranibizumab reinjection for neonates with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Doses given were 0.25mg/0.025mL. They screened 2318 infants with 115 (5%) of infants with a mean post menstrual age (PMA)...
Histopathology-guided management of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) with corneal stromal or scleral invasion using ruthenium-106 plaque brachytherapy
This is a retrospective interventional consecutive case series of 42 eyes of 42 patients with OSSN with histopathologically proven corneal stromal and / or scleral invasion following excision biopsy. The mean tumour basal diameter was 9.3mm and thickness of 3.1mm...
Rate and predisposing factors for post-vitrectomy cataract formation in children
This study was a retrospective analysis of post-vitrectomy cataract formation in the general paediatric population. The authors aimed to determine the number of phakic children needing cataract surgery after vitrectomy surgery and related perioperative factors. The study was a 10-year...
Cadaveric measurements of the Spiral of Tillaux
The authors conducted a cadaveric study to investigate and analyse the variability of the mean distances of the extra-ocular muscle insertion sites from the limbus as well as corneal diameters. The study included measurements taken from 30 white cavaders; 50%...Immunoglobulin G4-related ophthalmic disease – what is it? (Part 1)
Part 1: Epidemiology, classification, radiology, histopathology and associations (see Part 2 here) In this two-part series, Li Yen Goh reviews IgG4 disease and reminds us of diagnostic challenges faced. Introduction Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) disease is a recently recognised idiopathic systemic...
Finasteride and central serous chorioretinopathy
The pathophysiology of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is complex and has not been fully elucidated. Suggested theories include hyperpermeability and increased hydrostatic pressure in the choroidal vasculature, which creates RPE detachments overwhelming the RPE barrier function, leading to accumulation of...
Ologen Collagen Matrix to treat ocular hypotony after filtration glaucoma surgery
The authors report a retrospective, observational case series of a Japanese cohort. 12 consecutive implantations of ologen in nine eyes of nine subjects (five men, four women; mean age ±SD, 72.1±12.7 years) who underwent subconjunctival implantation of the device to...
