Cyclotorsional and non-cyclotorsional components of eye rotation observed from sitting to supine position.

Purpose: Evaluate average cyclotorsional and non-cyclotorsional components (NCY) of eye rotation from sitting to supine, and associate average cyclotorsion to different variables.

Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent bilateral sequential laser refractive surgery were retrospectively evaluated. Recorded variables included the patient's age, refraction, automated keratometry, pupil displacement and eye rotation from sitting to supine position.

Traumatic eye injuries from collapsible wire laundry hampers.

Two patients presented to the University of Illinois at Chicago Eye and Ear Infirmary within 1 year with penetrating eye injuries caused by similar collapsible cloth and wire laundry hampers. Penetrating eye injuries in children are relatively rare but can result in poor visual outcomes and multiple vision-threatening complications. Both injuries at the University of Illinois resulted in an eye laceration as well as retinal complications similar to those reported with a high velocity injury.
