Article Synopsis
- Strabismus is a common eye condition that requires detailed measurement of eye alignment, and the review evaluates how effective different telemedicine methods are in assessing this condition.
- A literature search identified 34 studies, which showed high accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity in using telemedicine for strabismus diagnosis compared to traditional methods.
- The study suggests that while telemedicine can offer convenient, automated assessments that minimize subjectivity, its accuracy is still not as high as in-person evaluations.
Objective: To determine whether there is a measurable change in hyperopia in children with accommodative esotropia over time.
Methods And Analysis: A retrospective cohort of children with fully or partially accommodative esotropia diagnosed by age 7 years, followed to age 10 or older, and with at least two cycloplegic refractions, one before age 7 years and one after age 10 years. The annual change was calculated from linear mixed-effect models, overall and during two age periods with subgroup analysis by baseline refractive error (<4D, ≥4D) and type (partial, full) of accommodative esotropia.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence and risk factors of sickle cell retinopathy (SCR) in children with sickle cell hemoglobinopathy (SCH) to guide screening practices.
- Conducted as a retrospective cohort study over four years, the research involved children with SCH and evaluated outcomes like type of retinopathy and age at onset, while considering various factors such as genotype and health history.
- Results indicated that 12.1% of the 398 children studied had SCR, with a higher prevalence among those with sickle cell hemoglobin C (SC) genotype compared to sickle cell homozygote (SS), and revealed that onset of nonproliferative retinopathy occurred earlier in SC genotype.
Purpose: To compare the capsular and uveal reaction after implantation of a plate-haptic silicone intraocular lens (IOL) (C11UB, Chiron) and a hydrophobic acrylic (AcrySof MA60, Alcon) IOL in diabetic patients.
Setting: Moorfields Eye Hospital and St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Purpose: To determine the effect of intraocular lens (IOL) material on the development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) at 1 year.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
Purpose: To develop software to measure the severity of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) using analysis of retroillumination images and to correlate the results with clinical evaluation of PCO severity and visual function.
Setting: Department of Physics, King's College, and Department of Ophthalmology, St. Thomas' Hospital, London, United Kingdom.
POCOman: new system for quantifying posterior capsule opacification.
J Cataract Refract Surg
October 2004
Purpose: To describe a new method of measuring posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and intraocular lens (IOL) rotation and report the validation of the method.
Setting: Ophthalmology Department, St. Thomas' Hospital, and Medical Imaging, Department of Physics, King's College, London, United Kingdom.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of 1-piece and 3-piece hydrophobic acrylic intraocular lenses (IOLs) on posterior capsule opacification (PCO) after cataract surgery.
Setting: Ophthalmology departments of 3 hospitals in the United Kingdom and Germany and the Department of Physics at a United Kingdom university.
Methods: A series of 131 patients having cataract surgery had implantation of an acrylic 1-piece (SA30AL) or an acrylic 3-piece (MA30BA) IOL (AcrySof, Alcon).
Predicting posterior capsule opacification: value of early retroillumination imaging.
J Cataract Refract Surg
March 2003
Purpose: To investigate the value of early retroillumination imaging of the posterior capsule in predicting the eventual development of posterior capsule opacification (PCO).
Setting: Ophthalmology Department, St. Thomas' Hospital, and Department of Physics, King's College, London, United Kingdom.
