Visual snow syndrome: a review
Visual snow syndrome (VSS) is a neurological condition characterised by visual phenomena described as dots moving across the visual field. Other visual symptoms can take the form of palinopsia, entopic phenomena, photophobia and nyctalopia. Tinnitus and migraine can be commonly...
Single vs combined y-split surgery for Duane’s type III
The authors present the results of two surgical approaches to treat exotropia Duane’s retraction syndrome (DRS) with significant overshoot and retraction. This study compared single Y-split recession of the lateral rectus muscle vs combined Y-split lateral rectus recession plus medial...Conservative management of concomitant strabismus
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,...
Task shifting for eye care in Eastern Africa
More than eight million people suffer with trichiasis due to trachoma globally, but less than 160,000 receive surgery per year even though “S” is a key aspect of the elimination of blindness due to trachoma as part of the WHO...Unravelling ocular motility
Ocular motility can often be a slightly abstract concept during the earlier years of ophthalmology training. A large variance on what embodies normality; mythical concepts like fusion and binocular vision, examination techniques that can be fiddly, and complex neuroanatomy all...
Simultaneous vs. alternate PCT disparity in XT
The authors quantified the relationship between simultaneous prism and cover test (SPCT) and alternate prism and cover test (APCT) alignment in patients with measures at the same visit after surgery for exotropia. This was a retrospective study of 955 patients...
Outcome of surgery for infantile exotropia after long-term follow-up of 4 years
The purpose of this study was to report long-term motor and sensory outcomes after unilateral lateral/medial rectus recession/resection (RR) in infantile constant exotropia. This was a retrospective review from 1995–2020 of 20 children (10 female, 10 male) with minimum 4-year...
A case of post-viral ocular microflutter
A number of eye movements disrupt visual fixation, one such movement being saccadic intrusions which are described as small involuntary saccadic movements. Among saccadic intrusions without intersaccadic intervals, ocular flutter and opsoclonus are prominent. When the saccadic amplitude is very...
Management of high AC/A esotropia
The purpose of this study was to determine the long-term effect of treating high accommodative convergence to accommodation (AC/A) esotropia with single vision lenses (SVL) compared with the effectiveness of using SVL on patients with basic refractive esotropia and a...
Choroidal thickness in strabismus and amblyopia
The authors examined the effect of exotropia, esotropia, anisometropic amblyopia and hypermetropia on choroidal thickness in a prospective cross section study. The study included 100 patients and 20 controls with a mean age of 8.5±2.9 years; 61 female and 59...
Results of single muscle advancement surgery
The aim of this study was to determine quantitatively the efficacy of medial and lateral rectus muscle advancement in consecutive exotropia and esotropia. The authors analysed the relationship between the change in muscle position and the change in visual angle...
