Long-term treatment outcomes for congenital ectropion uveae with ptosis and glaucoma.

We describe 3 cases of unilateral congenital ectropion uveae associated with ptosis and glaucoma in a syndrome with no systemic associations. Early detection of glaucoma and timely surgical intervention is required to preserve productive vision in such patients. In our case series, trabeculectomy with mitomycin C was effective in controlling glaucoma progression over a follow-up period of 5-15 years.

Ocular lubricant use in medically and surgically treated glaucoma: a retrospective longitudinal analysis.

Background: Chronic use of intraocular pressure-lowering medications is associated with ocular surface disease (OSD). In this study, we assess the incidence of topical lubricant use as a surrogate marker for underlying OSD, in medically and surgically treated glaucoma patients.

Methods: Retrospective chart review was performed for newly diagnosed glaucoma patients who were started on topical medications in 2007 and followed up over a 5-year period.

Prevalence and clinical correlates of focal choroidal excavation in eyes with age-related macular degeneration, polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy and central serous chorioretinopathy.

Purpose: To describe the prevalence and clinical characteristics of focal choroidal excavation (FCE) in patients with exudative maculopathy due to age-related macular degeneration with choroidal neovascularisation (AMD-CNV), polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC).

Methods: Three hundred and forty-three patients (343 presenting eyes and 255 fellow unaffected eyes) from consecutive patients presenting with untreated AMD-CNV, PCV or CSC are prospectively recruited. Two independent retinal specialists masked to the clinical diagnosis graded the presence of FCE by examining the findings from spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Purpose: To analyze the clinical manifestations and treatment outcomes for patients with retinoblastoma in Singapore from 1997 to 2010.

Methods: Medical records of 51 patients (67 eyes) diagnosed as having retinoblastoma were analyzed. Data on laterality, genetics, presentation, disease severity, treatment, and prognosis were collected.
