Evaluation of macular vessel density changes after strabismus surgery using optical coherence tomography angiography.

Purpose: To compare retinal vessel density before and after strabismus surgery using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA).

Methods: In this longitudinal, single-arm pilot study, vascular density in the deep capillary plexus (DCP), superficial retinal capillary plexus (SCP) and choriocapillaris layer (CCL) in consecutive subjects undergoing strabismus surgery was assessed using SS-OCTA preoperatively (T0), on the first day postoperatively (POD1), and 30 days postoperatively (POD30).

Results: A total of 92 eyes of 56 patients (54% males) were included.

Publication Rate of Abstracts Presented at AAPOS Annual Meetings: From Conference Abstract to Full-Text Article.

Purpose: To review and analyze abstracts presented at American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) annual meetings, and to identify publication rates and potential predictive factors for better outcomes.

Methods: All abstracts accepted for presentation at AAPOS annual meetings from 2013 to 2017 were examined. A comprehensive literature search via PubMed and Scopus was conducted to identify whether the abstracts had been published as full text.
