Falsely high rebound tonometry.

Background: Rebound tonometry (RBT) can be used to measure intraocular pressure (IOP) in children unable to tolerate measurement with applanation tonometry (AT) while awake. RBT readings are often 2-3 mm Hg higher than AT. We have experienced children with a repeatedly higher difference between RBT and AT measurements (≥6 mm Hg).

Late-onset uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema syndrome caused by Soemmering ring cataract.

Objective: To propose a late-onset mechanism for uveitis-glaucoma-hyphema (UGH) syndrome caused by Soemmering ring cataract (SRC) and describe surgical outcomes.

Design: Retrospective interventional case series.

Participants: Patients developing UGH from anterior displacement of a haptic from a SRC.

Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles: review of recent literature.

Purpose Of Review: Congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM) is caused by abnormal development of the innervation of extraocular muscles. We update the recent literature regarding the clinical, anatomic, genetic, and molecular characteristics of CFEOM. Surgical considerations are addressed.

Lipemia retinalis as the presenting sign of undiagnosed type 1 diabetes mellitus resulting in severe secondary hypertriglyceridemia.

We describe the clinical course of an 11-year-old girl diagnosed with lipemia retinalis as the presenting sign of diabetes mellitus type 1 with severe secondary hypertriglyceridemia. By performing serial multimodal imaging studies, we provide a comprehensive description of the clinical manifestations associated with severe hypertriglyceridemia to promote recognition of this rare clinical diagnosis.

Degradation of swept-parameter VEP responses by neutral density filters in amblyopic and normal subjects.

Purpose: To determine whether objective visual function, measured by swept-parameter visual evoked potential (sVEP), is preferentially degraded by neutral density filtration (NDF) in normal control and fellow eyes compared to amblyopic eyes, and to determine whether the response to NDF is a function of stimulus type, using grating and vernier stimuli.

Methods: Monocular Snellen acuity and both grating and vernier sVEP responses were measured in each eye of 23 children or adolescents with amblyopia and 21 visually and neurologically normal children or adolescents. Acuity and sVEP responses were measured with and without a 2.
