Geographic Variation in Strabismus Pattern Among Pediatric Age Group in Lebanon: A Single-Centre Five-Year Observational Study.

Background: Strabismus means ocular misalignment. It is also one of the most prevalent types of amblyopia and the leading cause of pediatric visual impairment.

Objective: This study aims to determine the frequency of different types of strabismus and the associated refractive errors and amblyopia in patients younger than 16 years of age.

The Effect of Age on Corneal Topographic Indices, Keratometry and Visual Acuity After Combined Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segment (ICRS) Implantation and Corneal Crosslinking.

We aimed to assess age-related changes in corneal topographic indices, keratometry and visual acuity after sequential intracorneal ring segment implantation (ICRS) and crosslinking (CXL). This was a retrospective matched case-control series including 26 eyes of patients ≤18 years as cases and 26 eyes of adult patients as controls. All eyes received ICRS+CXL for progressive keratoconus.

Retinal nerve fibre layer and macular thickness in amblyopia as measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

Background/aims: To study peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) and macular thickness in amblyopia using high-definition spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and to compare the results with available literature using the time-domain modality.

Methods: This was a prospective institutional study of patients ≥ 6 years of age with unilateral amblyopia (strabismic or anisometropic) and non-amblyopic anisometropia. RNFL and macular thicknesses were measured using SD-OCT and compared between fellow eyes.
