Incidence and factors associated with complication of sutured and sutureless cataract surgery following PPV
This is a retrospective review of 485 patients who had undergone phacoemulsification and IOL implantation after previous pars planar victrectomy (PPV) surgery between May 2000 and May 2014. The incidence and factors contributing to complications were studied. The most common...
Macular thickness after strabismus surgery
The aim of this study was to determine whether strabismus surgery is associated with changes in macular thickness as detected by OCT. The study included 60 eyes of 30 patients with mean age of 28.9±14.2 years undergoing unilateral surgery. Mean...
Long-term esotropia and exotropia alignment
The authors review surgical outcomes for 317 children having surgery for esotropia (n=235) or exotropia (n=82) for comparative analysis using survival curves. Esotropia surgery was undertaken at a mean of 42 months; exotropia surgery at a mean of 60 months...
Stereopsis in late strabismus correction
This prospective study evaluated effect of successful surgical alignment on improvement of stereopsis in 34 adults (15 female, 19 male) with childhood strabismus to determine the prognostic factors for sensory outcome. Fourteen cases were esotropic and 20 exotropic with mean...
RPTP-σ increases pro-MMP activity in a trabecular meshwork cell line following oxidative stress conditions
This study aims to outline the role of phosphatases in the aqueous drainage system by overexpressing receptor tyrosine phosphatase sigma (RPTP-σ) in a human normal trabecular meshwork cell line and describing its effect on subtypes of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and...
Surgical outcomes in third nerve palsy
The authors of this article explore the factors associated with successful surgical outcomes in third nerve palsy, which is known to be difficult to treat. A number of case notes were reviewed for patients who underwent surgery or botulinum toxin...
Postop improved fusion and stereopsis in IDEX
This study aimed to evaluate changes in binocular visual function in patients with different ages before and after surgery to explore the optimal timing of intermittent exotropia surgery. The study comprised 28 females and 25 males. Fifty-three patients were split...
Full thickness macular hole after YAG PI
The authors report a case of macular hole post YAG peripheral iridotomy (PI) of a patient with pre-existing vitreomacular adhesion. Although a relatively safe procedure, some anterior segment complications are well documented such as corneal endothelium damage, rise in IOP,...
Occult spread of squamous cell carcinoma into the orbit
The authors describe two cases that may represent perineural spread of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) into the orbit. Both cases had cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas in the region of the lateral orbital wall (innervated by the zygomatico-temporal nerve) which...
Postoperative astigmatism
The authors investigate the short and long-term postoperative refractive effects of medial rectus recession on the involved eye and explain the detectable effects in detail by the results of vector analysis in 52 eyes and 32 patients. The subjects had...
Two case reports of late onset adbucens nerve palsy following carotid-cavernous fistula treatment
This report presents two cases of abducens palsy developing with late onset following endovascular treatment for carotid-cavernous fistula. Following this common and effective treatment for carotid-cavernous fistula, an immediate cranial nerve palsy is a common finding. It usually resolves spontaneously....
