Surgery for lost inferior rectus muscle

This prospective study evaluated the impact of simultaneous ipsilateral superior rectus (SR) recession and superior rectus (IO) anterior transposition on the primary position alignment in six patients with traumatic loss of the inferior rectus (IR) muscle. Five males and one...

Orbital sphenoid sinus trauma: a rare trauma case

With a high complication and mortality rate, intra-sphenoidal and transorbital trauma poses a high complication rate and remains challenging to manage. Numerous key structures run nearby such as: the optic nerve, internal carotid arteries and ophthalmic arteries. The authors present...

Does paediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) obey Lincoff’s rule (LR)?

This was a retrospective study where 98 paediatric patients with RRD were identified through surgery records. Forty case sheets with complete record of ocular examination and surgical findings were analysed. Visible or suspected preoperative retinal break identified using the LR...

Case series of posterior scleritis

This report aimed to facilitate the correct diagnosis of posterior scleritis, a condition which is usually overlooked or misdiagnosed. Electronic health records of 31 patients with posterior scleritis were analysed and compared to a group with isolated anterior scleritis of...

Inferior oblique adherence syndrome

A case is reported of a 14-year-old with inferior oblique muscle adherence and fat adherence following unilateral inferior oblique (IO) anteriorisation. Following surgery, the patient developed consecutive esotropia, ptosis and marked limitation of laevoelevation. Forced duction test was positive for...

Simple approach to prevent capsule tear-out during capsulorhexis creation in hyper mature cataracts

Puncturing the anterior capsule in the anterior chamber so that the pressure falls below intracapsular tension causes the rhexis to extend out to the equator. If this develops into a tear that wraps around the entire lens it is called...

Intraocular pressure reduction after cataract surgery

Several studies have shown the efficacy of cataract surgery in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP), especially in angle closure glaucoma compared to open angle. A total of 156 eyes of 109 patients (without glaucoma or with medically controlled glaucoma) were included....

Use of multimodal imaging in diagnosis and treatment planning of traumatic incomplete muscle laceration

This paper discusses details of incomplete rectus muscle lacerations and the unique role of multimodal (local anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) and orbital CT/MRI) imaging techniques in the repair of such injuries. This was a retrospective analysis of traumatic...

Changes in Japanese eyes after laser peripheral iridotomy

The aim of this study was to evaluate laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) induced changes in anterior segment parameters, using the anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT). Seventy-two subjects of Japanese ethnicity with primary angle closure suspect (PACS), primary angle closure...
