Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of teleexamination of red eye by a trained general practitioner (GP) compared to the gold standard (in-office consultation by an ophthalmologist).

Methods: This was a study of diagnostic accuracy. We included consecutive male or female patients aged ≥6 months who presented to a primary care clinic in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with red eye.

Plus Disease: Why is it Important in Retinopathy of Prematurity?

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in childhood. Early posterior pole vascular signs of severe ROP have been studied since the first description of the disease. The progressive changes that take place in the posterior pole vessels of an extremely premature baby occur in a predictable fashion soon after birth.

Large-segment superior oblique tendon expanders in the management of severe congenital Brown syndrome.

Purpose: To report the effectiveness of large-segment superior oblique tendon expanders for severe congenital Brown syndrome.

Methods: Medical records of 12 consecutive patients with severe congenital Brown syndrome were evaluated retrospectively. All patients had a hypotropia > 20 prism diopters in primary position.

Restoration of binocular single vision after long-term fusion disruption.

Background: One of the most difficult situations faced by orthoptists and pediatric ophthalmologists is attempting to restore binocular single vision to a patient who has experienced a long-term disruption of fusion. Initial poor results with standard treatment modalities, including prisms and strabismus surgery, may lead to a diagnosis of intractable diplopia.

Methods: We examined, treated, and followed up 5 patients with strabismus after an extended period of monocular vision loss.
