Complications after cataract surgery in high myopes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The authors review all the modern literature on complications after phacoemulsification in high myopes with axial lengths (AL) greater than 25.0mm. Twenty-eight studies reporting on 19,586 eyes were included. The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) improved from 0.96 ± 0.53...
Beware the disc in myopic patients
Glaucoma is a chronic and progressive optic neuropathy characterised by damage of retinal ganglion cells. Evaluation of structural damage of the optic nerve is important in glaucoma diagnosis. The ISNT rule states that the neuroretinal rim width is generally widest...
Greater accuracy of cycloplegic refraction
The authors conducted this study on 5320 pre-school (four to six-year-old) and 6475 school (seven to ten years) children to compare the results of final glasses prescription based on cycloplegic refraction with atropine to those of non-cycloplegic refraction. For younger...
Ametropic amblyopia and stereopsis
This study aimed to evaluate the correlations between ametropic amblyopia (hypermetropic – 110, myopic – 30, and astigmatic – 65) and stereopsis in 205 children – mean age of 5.2 years ±1.8. For near stereopsis, significant results were found for...Axial length measurement advice to be shared in webinar
The first BCLA webinar of 2024 will look at using axial length measurement as a guide for decision making around myopia management.
Contrast sensitivity after laser corneal surgery
This study group compared contrast sensitivity among participants undergoing wavefront-guided or wavefront-optimised photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for the treatment of myopia or myopic astigmatism 12 months after surgery. This was a prospective, randomised clinical trial,...
Iranian prevalence of strabismus
There is little prior evidence on prevalence of strabismus in Iran. Thus, this study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence of strabismus types in Azad University students aged 18-25 years in South West Iran. A total of 752 of 826...Embrace the great outdoors to safeguard eye health, urges world-leading eye surgeon
World-leading eye surgeon, Mr John Bolger, urged global action to address escalating rates of myopia (short-sightedness) among young people when he led a distinguished panel of experts at this year’s International Myopia Conference 2024 in Sanya City, Hainan Province, China....
Retreatment of myopic LASIK with femtosecond and custom ablation
The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors for retreatment post laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). A retrospective chart review was carried out for a four-year period and all patients who had undergone LASIK at the Boston...
Knobby eye syndrome
This study used high resolution MRI to demonstrate and evaluate globe shape in axial high myopia and identify and characterise those with prominent equatorial staphylomata that deflect extraocular muscle paths and presumably alter motility patterns in strabismus. The study included...
Ametropia prevalence and types in China
This study aimed to determine the prevalence and type of ametropia in Yunnan multi-ethnic regions. The study included 24,296 students aged 7-12 years (90.99%) in the study area of five different regions. There were 51% males and 32.2% minorities. Ametropia...
