BT vs primary surgery for infantile esotropia
In this study, the success rate of treatment for infantile esotropia (IET) patients who had surgery because of under correction after botulinum toxin (BT) is compared to those having primary surgery. The study included 52 patients (27 male) with mean...
Barriers to diagnosis and management of VKC
The authors investigate the lived experience of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) diagnosis and treatment in US patients, reported by their carers and eyecare clinicians, and to identify barriers to the timely diagnosis and management of this condition. The study included seven...
Adjunct amniotic membrane during enucleation for retinoblastoma to prevent implant exposure
Amniotic membrane (AM) has potential for treatment of retinoblastoma (RB) patients with contracted sockets after enucleation. The authors present their experience of AM with enucleation for patients with RB after chemotherapy in this retrospective study of 100 eyes of 107...
Bardet Biedl refractive error
This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of 45 patients with genetically diagnosed Bardet Biedl syndrome. Patients with biallelic defects in any gene known to cause Bardet Biedl syndrome were eligible for inclusion. Patients underwent cycloplegic refraction and keratometry. The mean...
Avoiding prominent facial features during perimetry
The authors present a case series including six healthy participants prospectively recruited. All participants had no ocular pathology. The assessment included identification of their dominant eye for use in testing. A 60-4 SITA standard visual field assessment was completed in...
AI glaucoma screening cost-effective in the Netherlands?
Population-wide screening for glaucoma has traditionally been deemed not cost-effective due to high costs and low disease prevalence. This Dutch study re-evaluates this position by introducing artificial intelligence (AI) to the screening model. The authors developed a health-economic model comparing...
Surgical outcomes of primary recess/resection vs readvancement/recession surgery for exotropia
This study compared the surgical yield of primary lateral rectus and medial rectus recession/resection (RR) surgery for basic exotropia, convergence insufficiency type exotropia (CIXT) and divergence excess (DXS) vs. patients undergoing medial rectus readvancement (MRR) +/- lateral rectus recession for...
Three-year results of 0.01% and 0.1% loading dose atropine treatment including washout in Danish children with myopia: a placebo-controlled, randomised clinical trial
This was a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomised clinical trial of 97 children to examine the safety and efficacy of low-dose atropine (0.1% and 0.01% loading dose) after 2-year treatment and 1-year washout in 6–12-year-old Danish children with myopia. Ninety-one children were...
Choice and definitions of surgical outcomes for intermittent exotropia
This review was conducted to address a number of questions: (1) define successful surgical outcome; (2) criteria for successful alignment, (3) consideration of aetiology when deciding surgery, and (4) are visual acuity, fusion and stereoacuity routinely investigated as surgical outcomes?...
Surgical management of 2 cases of synergistic adduction during elevation; aberrant regeneration
The authors present 2 cases with unusual findings of aberrant regeneration of the third cranial nerve palsy with coexisting sixth cranial nerve palsy. The first case was a 44-year-old male with head trauma from a road traffic accident. The second...
