PlusoptiX and SPOT screening
The goal of this study was to determine whether an instrument that uses referral criteria having a high specificity (plusoptiX S08) would fail to refer children who have significant amblyopia and who would have been detected by an instrument using...
Dynamics of interocular suppression
The main aim of this study was to determine the development of the depth of interocular suppression in the course of occlusion treatment in amblyopia as well as its correlation with changes in visual acuity. The authors investigated whether presence...
OCT in microtropia
The aim of this study was to assess whether OCT could be useful in detecting and documenting fixation in children with microtropia. The study used spectral domain OCT (Cirrus) in 15 patients (10 female, five male) and 10 control eyes....
Is it worth performing cataract surgery in amblyopic eyes?
It was estimated that about 3% of all cataract surgeries in adults were performed in eyes that have pre-existing amblyopia, and there is a long-standing belief that eyes with amblyopia have limited benefit from cataract extraction in the adult age....
Autistic responses to plusoptix photoscreening
The authors sought to determine if the plusoptix would provide an accurate estimation of whether an autistic child had amblyopic risk factors. This retrospective study identified 48 children with autism. Undilated plusoptix was undertaken in 25 children aged less than...
Screening with PlusoptiX
This study compared the PlusoptiX A12 to a comprehensive ophthalmic investigation. This was a three-month study of 219 (438 eyes) subjects with a mean age of 72 months. The A12 referred 101 of 219 (46%) patients for potential amblyopia. Ophthalmic...
Cost-effectiveness of orthoptic-delivered screening versus school nurse screening
The authors describe a long-term audit of outcomes and costs associated with referrals from two established neighbouring school-entry vision screening services in the UK over one academic year with one adhering to national UK screening guidelines more closely than the...
Electronic treatment reminders
The authors report the results of a small pilot study to measure the use of electronic reminders for children undergoing treatment for amblyopia with patching by assessing changes in visual acuity, reported compliance and ease of use of the reminder...
Characteristics of ptosis in Iranian children
A cross-section study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of ptosis (congenital and acquired) and its risk factors in Iranian children. The target population was children aged seven years in urban areas of Iran. Seventy schools of eight cities were...
Congenital ptosis and astigmatism
This is a review of the effect of congenital ptosis surgery on refractive error. Seventy-one eyes of 56 patients were reviewed. The unoperated eye in unilateral cases was used as the control group. The mean age at surgery was 5.1...
Importance of vision input to postural stability
This literature review was undertaken to overview postural stability in strabismus and amblyopia. Postural stability is a complex skill that coordinates dynamic sensory mechanisms to facilitate sustained balance. The review discusses critical roles of vision in postural stability, e.g. postural...
