Congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (CCDDs)
The term congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder (CCDD) was introduced by Gutowski et al. in 2003 to describe strabismus conditions that result from developmental error in innervation of some of the extraocular muscles. Examples of these conditions include Duane’s syndrome and...
Aspheric toric IOL implantation and LRI in eyes with cataracts and astigmatism
This is a prospective study from a single unit to compare the visual outcome of aspheric toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation and limbal relaxing incisions (LRI) for management of coexisting age-related cataracts and astigmatism. Sixty eyes of 60 patients with...
BT vs. conservative treatment only for sixth nerve palsies
This German retrospective review evaluation compared rates of improvement and outcome criteria in a large cohort with 2 treatment branches for sixth nerve palsy. Recovery was defined as no diplopia in primary gaze, angle ≤10 prism dioptres and improved abduction...Life’s rich tapestry
Have you ever watched someone cross-stitch, or do needle-point? I recently had the joy of observing my teenage daughter create such an artwork. She separated all the threads into the various colours, and then started to follow the instructions carefully....Code-Free Deep Learning: a step into the future of ophthalmology
A new focus has arisen within the research domain of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare called code-free deep learning (CFDL), and recent research demonstrates that ophthalmology is becoming one of the leading specialties in this field. Artificial intelligence (AI) is...
Using graphical illustration to predict giant cell arteritis
A nomogram is a chart or graph of scaled variables that facilitates the approximate computation of a mathematical function via intersecting lines. The objective of this study was to illustrate the use of a nomogram for the prediction of giant...Line-up confirmed for Eye News Symposium!
We are delighted to confirm an excellent line-up of speakers and topics for the Eye News Symposium, taking place in Glasgow on Sunday 20 January.If looks could kill – kohl and the eye
Simerdip Kaur takes a look at the latest ophthalmology-related news stories and asks which are based on facts and which are ‘fake news’. Headline: If looks could kill – kohl and the eye Human fascination with beautification can be traced...
Using ‘piggyback prisms’ to measure large angle strabismus – don’t simply add them together
An experimental study was conducted with the aim of developing a method to measure strabismus angles larger than 50 prism dioptres (PD) using ‘piggyback prisms’ – stacking Fresnel and block prisms. The stacked prisms were placed 2cm from the light...
