Comparison of photoscreeners
The purpose of this study was to apply the GoCheckKids, iScreen, PlusoptiX and SPOT to young patients and developmentally challenged patients in a paediatric eye practice. One hundred and eight children were assessed with a mean age of 47 months...
Prevalence of visual function impairment in congenital ptosis
This study sought to evaluate the prevalence of visual function loss in the setting of congenital ptosis. This was a retrospective study of 155 eyes of 134 patients; 72 males and 62 females. Mean age at diagnosis was 7.8 ±5.8...
Balancing early and late surgical intervention for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction
This retrospective study investigated the incidence of anisometropia and amblyopia by age of congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) resolution. At Seattle children’s hospital, between 2007 and 2017, the outcomes of children with early versus late spontaneous resolution of CNLDO were...Children with ‘lazy eye’ are at increased risk of serious disease in adulthood
Adults who had amblyopia (‘lazy eye’) in childhood are more likely to experience hypertension, obesity, and metabolic syndrome in adulthood, as well as an increased risk of heart attack, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.The paediatric cataract: an overview of the diagnosis and management

In this second article (see first article here), Samuel Aryee and Rhys Dumont Jones review the challenges involved in managing this condition. Examination and diagnosis Cataracts in children can appear in a variety of forms, each presenting in a different...
Plusoptix referral criteria
The authors compared various referral criteria on the same group of patients to determine the sensitivity, specificity and predictive value of each. They also programmed the plusoptix to use the 2013 American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) referral...
Clinical features of basic acquired nonaccommodative esotropia requiring surgery
Basic acquired nonaccommodative esotropia (BANAET) is a concomitant esotropia occurring after the age of six months without significant refractive error or accommodative element.

EYE - General
The aim of management for all patients with strabismus should centre around four goals: to prevent amblyopia, to alleviate symptoms, to restore binocular single vision (BSV) and to improve ocular alignment. The conservative management options available for strabismus include observation,...
Risk with density of suppression
The authors wished to determine the current practice of assessing and interpreting the density of suppression with the Sbisa / Bagolini filter bar in the management of amblyopia in the UK and to estimate the incidence of intractable diplopia following...
Strabismus and binocular summation
The authors conducted a pilot study to investigate the effect of visual noise or background complexity on binocular summation in patients with strabismus. A target embedded in pixel noise was used. The study involved performance of a task detecting a...
CFEOM outcomes
This study presents the orbital and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of patients diagnosed with congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) along with the surgical procedures and outcomes for ocular motility and strabismus. Nine patients are described: three...
