Use of control scores for intermittent exotropia

This study surveyed paediatric ophthalmologists to determine their use of the Newcastle, PEDIG and LACTOSE control scores in the diagnosis and management of intermittent exotropia. The authors aimed to identify how frequently control scores are used clinically, the barriers to...

Combined in-office and home-based eccentric viewing training for central vision loss

This retrospective study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an eccentric viewing training (EVT) programme delivered in a real-world setting (home exercises) by combining a traditional EVT technique with biofeedback training using microperimetry. The authors investigated potential relationships between visual...

Diagnostic error rates for ROP detection by trainee ophthalmologists

The purpose of this study was to characterise common errors in ROP diagnosis by ophthalmologists-in-training in the USA and Canada. Case acquisition was from a web-based system used for ROP assessment from which 20 cases were selected. Fifty-five trainees from...

Ophthalmic findings following noticeable external injury following forceps delivery

This study prospectively recruited consecutive women following a forceps vaginal delivery of a single foetus in cephalic position over a two-year period. Individual patient consent was waived by the approving body. The neonates received a paediatrician assessment soon after birth....

Diagnostic error rates for ROP detection by trainee ophthalmologist in middle-income countries

The purpose of this study was to describe errors in ROP diagnosis made by ophthalmologists-in-training from programmes in middle-income countries including Brazil, the Philippines and Mexico who participated in a tele-education programme. Trainees were tested on 20 cases from a...

Overview of issues with provision of paediatric ophthalmology care

Previous reports have summarised a consistent decline in paediatric ophthalmology over the past 20 years with significant differences in mean salary compensation for paediatric ophthalmologists vs. other ophthalmology subspecialties. Many subsidise income by other non-paediatric work or retire early. With...

Association of Demodex with chalazion

The authors aimed to investigate the prevalence and load of Demadex mites in 143 cases, comprising 41 boys and 60 girls with paediatric chalazion (mean age 2.91 ±1.96 years) and 27 control boys and 15 control girls (mean age 4.71...

EEG changes following use of cyclopentolate 1% eye drops

Cycloplegic eye drops may affect the central nervous system. This study reports electroencephalogram (EEG) changes in a cohort of 6–15-year-old children. EEG recordings were taken after placebo and two doses of cyclopentolate 1% in 24 awake children (36 children had...

Surgical treatment outcomes and predictors for consecutive exotropia

This retrospective study presented the long-term results of consecutive exotropia surgery and its prognostic factors, and compared efficacy of medial rectus advancement, lateral rectus recession, or a combination of both. Patients were treated between 2000–2020. Mean age was 33.98 ±17.68...

Neurogenic palsy due to COVID-19

The authors aimed to identify cases of neurogenic palsy in the presence of Covid-19 and document the patient characteristics, type of palsy and possible aetiologies. Case reports and case series were included in the search. Twenty-three articles were included with...

Early postoperative angle for prediction of surgical success for exotropia

In this study, the authors assessed the relationship between the initial postoperative deviation and surgical outcomes in adult exotropia undergoing unilateral lateral rectus recession with medial rectus resection. The study included 93 patients (51 female); 26 with residual exo, 53...

Randomised controlled trial for large-angle exotropia surgery

The purpose of this study was to investigate single eye, single setting surgical options to correct 80–90PD of exotropia with two options of muscle transplant and suture hang-back recession. There was retention of anatomical limits of 6mm resection for medial...
