Long-term outcomes of deep anterior lamellar versus penetrating keratoplasty for keratoconus
This is a retrospective consecutive and comparative case series of keratoplasties (228 deep anterior lamellar keratoplasties (DALKs) and 274 penetrating keratoplasties (PKs)) in a single centre by one surgeon in France, between 1993 and 2021. Graft survival was 96.7% at...
Comparison of bupivacaine injection vs. mini-tenotomy for small angle deviations
Bupivacaine hydrochloride is an aminoacyltype local anaesthetic. Injection into extraocular muscles elicits a myotoxic response destroying striated muscle fibres but sparing satellite cells, nerves and vessels. Preserved satellite cells proliferate to form new muscle fibres, causing muscle hypertrophy and greater...
Quality of life scores in strabismic children
In this study the authors used the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (version 4.0) to evaluate impact of strabismus on health-related quality of life in Portuguese children. This was a prospective study of children aged 5–12 years over a nine-month...
Large vs. small posterior capsulotomy size and visual angle opacification rates
The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between posterior capsulotomy size and significant visual angle opacification (VAO) in congenital and developmental cataract. This was a retrospective case control of children aged under seven years of age over...
OCT measurements in neurodevelopmental conditions
The authors aimed to investigate what changes occur in the retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL) and macula when specific learning disorder (SLD) comorbidity is added to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). They compared measures in three...
Function vision outcomes in pseudophakic children
This study evaluated the functional vision of 196 pseudophakic children and their carers treated at a tertiary centre in Southwest Nigeria and identified association factors. Mean age was 9.8 ±3.4 years (range 2–16) with 68.9% male and 31.1% female. Median...
Re-evaluation of virtual reality visual field testing
This study evaluated an updated testing algorithm to determine its dynamic range, and to assess if this produced a suitable central hill of vision, and to evaluate test-retest reproducibility in healthy children. This was a prospective study of children with...
Changes in extraocular muscle after the Faden procedure – animal histopathology model
The authors studied the histological changes in the anterior part of the posterior fixation suture including the myoscleral junction, after the Faden operation in eight rabbits. The Faden operation was undertaken in one eye and the fellow unoperated eye served...
Causes of abnormal head postures – literature review
Yadegari reports a narrative literature review for abnormal head postures (AHPs) with discussion on different causes. This review summarises the control of a normal head posture before discussing differences of ocular vs non-ocular AHPs. Ocular AHPs may be adopted to...
Anatomical measurements for degree orientation and muscle insertions for rectus muscles
This study reports the relative degree orientation of the superior, lateral and inferior rectus muscles with respect to the medial rectus, and the distances between the rectus muscle insertions. The study involved 30 cadavers (60 eyes), all White, 50% female...
Comparison of two surgical procedure options for unilateral superior oblique palsy
This study compares two surgical options for management of unilateral superior oblique palsy with angles >20PD. Group 1 underwent one vertical muscle surgery – ipsilateral inferior oblique anterior transposition plus resection (IOATR). Group 2 underwent two vertical muscles surgery –...
