A 6-month-old female presented with bilateral periorbital edema for 7 days. Laboratory testing was significant for active SARS-CoV-2 infection. Neuroimaging demonstrated soft tissue changes within the bilateral orbits and enlargement of the bilateral lacrimal glands.

Strabismus surgical time-out: an illustrated whiteboard modification.

Background: Errors in strabismus surgery-including wrong eye, wrong muscle, and wrong procedure-can occur when there is confusion about the surgical plan among members of the surgical team, including surgeons, anesthesia staff, nurses, and technicians. The purpose of this study was to assess whether implementation of a strabismus-specific whiteboard combined with oral statement of the surgical plan using nonophthalmological terminology could improve communication among the team before commencement of surgery.

Methods: A strabismus-specific whiteboard with labeled diagram of the eyes and extraocular muscles was designed.

Abnormal Red Reflex: Etiologies in a Pediatric Ophthalmology Population.

Children who present with an abnormal red reflex (ARR) are often referred to ophthalmology due to concern for retinoblastoma. However, an ARR can indicate a wide variety of pathologies, all of which have the potential to develop amblyopia and irreversible vision loss. In this retrospective cohort study, we demonstrate that children who presented with an ARR had a mean age of 22.
