Compounded 0.01% Atropine-What's in the Bottle?

Objective: To describe the labeling, packaging practices, and characteristics of compounded 0.01% ophthalmic atropine.

Methods: A convenience sample of parents of children who had previously been prescribed low-concentration atropine for myopia management were randomized to obtain 0.

Retrospective review of the effectiveness of orthokeratology versus soft peripheral defocus contact lenses for myopia management in an academic setting.

Purpose: To evaluate the relative efficacy of peripheral defocus contact lenses (PDCLs) and orthokeratology (OK) in a real-world clinical population, and compare these results with previous randomised controlled clinical trials.

Methods: Records from a university practice were reviewed to identify children who were treated with OK or PDCLs. The analysed sample contained 273 visits from 77 patients.

A comparison of subjective and objective conjunctival hyperaemia grading with AOS® Anterior software.

Clinical Relevance: This study evaluates a commercially available conjunctival hyperaemia grading system, providing validation of an important tool for ocular surface research and clinical trials.

Background: Bulbar conjunctival hyperaemia is a sign of ocular surface inflammation, and proper measurement is essential to clinical care and trials. The aim of this study was to assess the validity and repeatability of an objective grading system in comparison with subjective grading.

A measure of tear inflow in habitual scleral lens wearers with and without midday fogging.

Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate tear inflow in a scleral lens system using fluorophotometry, and indirectly assess the exchange of the tear reservoir in habitual scleral lens wearers with the presence or absence of midday fogging (MDF).

Methods: Habitual scleral lens wearers (n=23) and normal scleral lens neophytes (n=10) were recruited. Of the 23 habitual wearers, 11 of them experienced MDF and 12 did not have a diagnosis of MDF.
