Outcomes of Hughes flap in lower eyelid reconstruction
One hundred and 22 consecutive patients who underwent tarsoconjunctival advancement flap surgery for lower eyelid defects were part of this study. Ninety percent of them had lesion excision using Mohs micrographic surgery. Eighty percent of these were for basal cell...
Wide variation in the volume of the sphenoid trigone
This is a radiological study of the volume of the sphenoid trigone in normal subjects. The authors were interested to see how much volume could be gained by removal of the trigone during an orbital decompression for thyroid eye disease....
Treatment of infantile cataract with secondary IOLs
The authors examined whether secondary IOL insertion is helpful in the successful treatment of monocular infantile cataracts. Eleven children were reviewed: eight with cataract extraction at one to four months of age and three at five to seven months of...
ILM peeling in primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment
This author retrospectively analysed the correlation between internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling and the occurrence of a postoperative epiretinal membrane (ERM) in patients who underwent vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD). There were 135 medical records investigated. Seventy patients underwent...
Masked bilateral SO palsy
This study examined the occurrence of masked bilateral superior oblique (SO) palsy with contralateral inferior oblique (IO) over action requiring further surgical intervention in children undergoing unilateral IO weakening surgery for presumed unilateral SO palsy. This retrospective study included 50...
Methotrexate and mycophenolate mofetil for non-infectious uveitis
This is the first reported randomised clinical trial comparing methotrexate versus mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for the treatment of non-infectious intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis or panuveitis. To be eligible for recruitment, patients had to be on ≥15mg oral prednisone and demonstrated...
Effect of phacoemulsification on trabeculectomy function
Previous studies have reported cataract surgery post trabeculectomy to be detrimental to IOP control. Conversely, other studies have reported phacoemulsification performed before trabeculectomy as a factor for bleb failure. The objective of this retrospective case control study was to evaluate...
Reported cases of hemifield slide phenomenon
This article reports three cases of hemifield slide, a phenomenon whereby there is an inability to stabilise and fuse visual hemifields. It occurs with heteronymous visual field loss and is thought to result from the loss of corresponding retinal points....
Phakic iris clip lenses and endothelial cell loss
This retrospective observational study included long-term results on endothelial cell losses in highly myopic eyes, which underwent phakic iris-clip lens implantations. Included in the analysis were 113 eyes with mean preoperative spherical equivalent (SEQ) of -14.67 +/- 5.15 Diopters (D)....
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...
BV after long-standing exotropia
Pre and postoperative binocular vision (BV) was compared in long-standing large angle exo deviations. The purpose was to determine the BV potential in these cases and particularly for those at risk of postoperative paradoxical diplopia. In this retrospective study patients...
