Change in vision disorders among Hong Kong preschoolers in 10 years.

Background: To determine the change in refractive error and the prevalence of amblyopia and strabismus among preschool children in Hong Kong over a period of 10 years.

Design: Two cross-sectional population-based studies conducted in 1996 to 1997 (part A) and 2006 to 2007 (part B) PARTICIPANTS: Children attending randomly selected kindergarten participated in the study.

Methods: Ocular alignment, visual acuity, cover and uncover tests, cycloplegic refraction, slit-lamp and fundi examination were performed under a standardized testing environment.

Measurement of intraocular pressure with pressure phosphene tonometry in children.

Purpose: To study the accuracy and acceptability of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement by the pressure phosphene tonometer, non-contact tonometer, and Goldmann tonometer in children.

Methods: Fifty children (5 to 14 years old) participated in this prospective comparative study. IOP was measured with the pressure phosphene tonometer, non-contact tonometer, and Goldmann tonometer by three different examiners who were masked to the results.

The effect of parental history of myopia on children's eye size and growth: results of a longitudinal study.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of parental myopia on eye size and growth in Chinese children.

Methods: A school-based, cross-sectional survey was performed in Chinese children 5 to 16 years of age. A longitudinal cohort study was conducted 1 year later.

Topical atropine in retarding myopic progression and axial length growth in children with moderate to severe myopia: a pilot study.

Purpose: To study the safety and efficacy of topical 1% atropine eye ointment in retarding myopic progression in children with moderate to severe myopia.

Methods: This was an interventional control study. Children (aged 5-10 years) with myopia of -3.

Intraocular pressure measurement in patients with previous LASIK surgery using pressure phosphene tonometer.

Purpose: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) assessment in post-LASIK patients using non-contact tonometry, pressure phosphene tonometry and applanation tonometry.

Methods: Sixty-two consecutive LASIK patients were analysed preoperatively and postoperatively with non-contact, pressure phosphene and applanation tonometry. Comparisons among these values were assessed with paired sample Student t-test, Pearson's correlation test and Bland-Altman plotting.

Pressure phosphene self-tonometry: a comparison with goldmann tonometry in glaucoma patients.

Purpose: To evaluate whether the pressure phosphene tonometer (PPT) is suitable for self-tonometry in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.

Methods: This was a prospective comparative study of 102 eyes of 102 patients with chronic glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements by the Goldmann tonometer (GT) were compared with self-measured readings with the PPT.

Prevalence, incidence, and progression of myopia of school children in Hong Kong.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence, incidence, and progression of myopia of Chinese children in Hong Kong.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was initially conducted. A longitudinal follow-up study was then conducted 12 months later.

Orthokeratology lens-related Pseudomonas aeruginosa infectious keratitis.

Purpose: To report a case of orthokeratology lens-related Pseudomonas corneal ulcer in an adult.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 37-year-old man presented with a 1-day history of painful red eye.

Outcomes of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in myopes of five or more diopters.

Objective: To analyze surgical outcomes of primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment in high myopes.

Materials And Methods: Medical records of 201 patients who underwent vitreoretinal surgeries for primary retinal detachments were reviewed. Fifty-two eyes of 51 patients with at least 5.
