Visual Performance of Children with Amblyopia after 6 Weeks of Home-Based Dichoptic Visual Training.

Objectives: This study was aimed at analyzing the efficacy on the improvement of the visual function of a dichoptic online cloud-based platform for the treatment of amblyopia in anisometropic children.

Methods: A quasi-experimental (pretest-post-test) study was conducted in 23 subjects with ages from 5 to 15 years old with anisometropic amblyopia combined with additional presence (2 subjects) or not (21 subjects) of microtropia. A total of 30 home-based training sessions of 30 min per session with Bynocs platform were prescribed for 6 weeks.

Comparative Study of Refraction between Wave Front-Based Refraction and Autorefraction without and with Cycloplegia in Children and Adolescents.

The main aim of this study was to compare refraction measurements with and without cycloplegia from two refractors devices, (TRK-2P autorefractometer (TRK-2P) and wavefront-based refraction Visionix 130 (VX130)) in children and adolescents. This descriptive observational study included 20 myopic eyes and 40 hyperopic eyes measured in two different Spanish hospitals. Cycloplegia was carried out by three drops of cyclopentolate hydrochloride 1% (Colircusí cycloplegic, Alcon Healthcare S.

Association between central retinal thickness and low luminance visual acuity in early age-related macular degeneration.

Purpose/aim: To examine whether central retinal thickness (CRT) is related to mesopic visual acuity (VA) and low luminance deficit (LLD, difference between photopic and mesopic VA) in eyes with early and intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Materials And Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 50 pseudophakic subjects older than 63 years were divided into three groups (no AMD, early AMD and intermediate AMD). Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) was used to measure CRT in the 1 mm-central-area.

Clinical Characteristics, Treatment, and Outcome of Trochleitis.

Background And Purpose: To study the clinical characteristics, treatment options, and outcome of patients with trochleitis in our population.

Methods: Retrospective review of 59 patients diagnosed with trochleitis in the Ramon y Cajal Hospital Emergency Service between 2003 and 2010. Demographic data and trochleitis features were described.

Comparison between phaco-deep sclerectomy and phaco-deep sclerectomy reconverted into phaco-trabeculectomy: series of fellow eyes.

Background: To evaluate and compare the results and complications after uneventful phaco-deep sclerectomy in one eye with intended phaco-deep sclerectomy converted to phaco-trabeculectomy in the fellow eye.

Methods: In this retrospective study, we analyzed thirty-two eyes of sixteen patients in which bilateral phaco-deep sclerectomy was planned but one eye was converted to phaco-trabeculectomy after perforation of the trabeculo-Descemet's membrane. Visual acuity (VA), slit-lamp examinations, intraocular pressure (IOP), and the number of glaucoma medications were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively at 1 day, 1 week, and 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months.

Predictive factors of surgical outcome in oculomotor nerve palsy.

Purpose: To investigate the outcomes and predictive factors of surgical treatment of oculomotor nerve palsy.

Methods: Records of patients requiring eye muscle surgery for oculomotor nerve palsy in our institution were retrospectively reviewed. Age, sex, etiology, deviation, completeness of involvement, time between onset and surgery, botulinum toxin treatment, and number of surgical procedures were recorded as potential predictive factors.
