Utility of spectral domain OCT in differentiating optic disc drusen from papilledema in children.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to test the diagnostic accuracy of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in differentiating optic disc drusen (ODD) from papilledema in children.

Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study at a tertiary-care pediatric hospital.

Participants: Children with high-quality OCT imaging of ODD or papilledema.

Case report of optic disc drusen with simultaneous peripapillary subretinal hemorrhage and central retinal vein occlusion.

A 52-year-old Chinese gentleman presented with right eye floaters and photopsia over one week. His visual acuities were 20/20 bilaterally. Posterior segment examination showed a right eye swollen optic disc and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) associated with an area of subretinal hemorrhage adjacent to the optic disc.

Topical brinzolamide for foveal schisis in juvenile retinoschisis.

We describe a case series of 4 consecutive patients diagnosed with X-linked retinoschisis seen at a pediatric ophthalmology clinic during a 3-year period. All patients were treated with topical brinzolamide; 3 patients experienced significantly decreased severity of macular cysts on OCT in at least one eye.

Epidemiology of postoperative endophthalmitis in an Asian population: 11-year incidence and effect of intracameral antibiotic agents.

Purpose: To describe the incidence of postoperative endophthalmitis after cataract surgery in a multiethnic Asian population over an 11-year period, compare the endophthalmitis rates before and after the use of intracameral antibiotic agents, and identify potential risk factors for endophthalmitis.

Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Singapore.

Design: Cohort study.
