The Cost and Economics of Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation in the United Kingdom: A Tertiary Center Experience.

Precis: As the only microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) with a reusable component, the cost per procedure of endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) diminishes with each successive use. We present a cost comparison of ECP with other MIGS devices, based on our clinical practice.

Purpose: ECP delivers diode laser via a reusable probe to the ciliary processes under direct visualization.

The role of stereopsis (three-dimensional vision) in dentistry: review of the current literature.

Clinical dental work is placing increasing demands on a clinician's vision as new techniques that require fine detail become more common. High hand-eye coordination requires good visual acuity as well as other psychological and neurological qualities such as stereopsis. Stereopsis (three-dimensional vision) is the highest form of depth perception obtained by visual disparity of images formed in the retinas of two eyes.

A prospective comparison between cyclopentolate spray and drops in pediatric outpatients.

Purpose: To determine whether children tolerate cyclopentolate 1% spray better than drops and to assess the adequacy of cycloplegia achieved by spray for objective refraction.

Methods: The effects of cyclopentolate 1% drops and spray on distress levels were assessed prospectively using a guardian questionnaire in consecutive patients 10 years of age or younger. Distress was graded at various points during the appointment using a Likert scale of 1 to 10 (1 = no distress, 10 = severe distress).

Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) in patients receiving tamsulosin or doxazosin-a UK-based comparison of incidence and complication rates.

Background: The association between intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) and tamsulosin has been well-described. The rate of IFIS in association with other α-1 antagonists needs further clarification. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of IFIS and associated cataract surgery complications in patients taking tamsulosin or doxazosin.

Group C streptococcal subperiosteal abscess of the orbit.

Group C Streptococcus is a well recognised pathogen in acute pharyngitis and sinusitis. To our knowledge group c streptococcus has not been reported to cause orbital cellulitis or subperiosteal abscess. We wish to report a case of a child with orbital subperiosteal abscess caused by Group C streptococcus.
