The Relationship between Fixation Stability and Retinal Structural Parameters in Children with Anisometropic, Strabismic and Mixed Amblyopia.

(1) Background: Amblyopia is an ocular condition leading to structural and functional changes. The relationship between these changes is complex and remains poorly understood. (2) Methods: Participants included 31 children aged 5 to 9 years with strabismic ( = 9), anisometropic ( = 16) and mixed ( = 6) unilateral amblyopia, and 14 age-matched non-amblyopic children.

Endoscope-Assisted Carlevale Lens Implantation in Patients Without Capsular Support: A Novel Surgical Approach to Ensure Correct Lens Positioning.

Purpose: To describe endoscope-assisted Carlevale intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.

Methods: Twelve eyes underwent posterior vitrectomy combined with Carlevale IOL implantation and endoscopy in a single procedure, using a technique developed by the authors. Transscleral incisions were performed under direct visualization of the sulcus using the endoscope, and the final lens position was checked at the end of each intervention.

Ab externo approach to treat bilateral haptic extrusion secondary to scleral erosion of an intrascleral sutureless-fixated intraocular lens.

Surgical management of haptic extrusion of an intrascleral sutureless-fixated intraocular lens (IOL) (FIL-SSF Carlevale, Soleko) by repositioning the IOL without lens extraction was reported. The patient presented an early extrusion of both IOL harpoons just 4 weeks after the initial surgery. New scleral flaps were created 30 degrees superior to the nasal harpoon and 30 degrees inferior to the temporal harpoon so that the IOL was rotated clockwise.

OUTCOME OF ACUTE NONTRAUMATIC VITREOUS HEMORRHAGE IN HEALTHY PATIENTS.

Purpose: To compare outcomes in dense vitreous hemorrhage versus mild vitreous hemorrhage due to nontraumatic posterior vitreous detachment.

Methods: We compared 315 eyes, divided into 2 patient groups, one with dense and the other with mild vitreous hemorrhage. The main outcome measures were final mean best-corrected visual acuity, number of retinal tears, number of retinal detachments, and the number of pars plana vitrectomy and/or scleral buckle surgeries.

Risk factors of age-related macular degeneration in Argentina.

Purposes: To assess the risk factors of age-related macular degeneration in Argentina using a case-control study.

Methods: Surveys were used for subjects' antioxidant intake, age/gender, race, body mass index, hypertension, diabetes (and type of treatment), smoking, sunlight exposure, red meat consumption, fish consumption, presence of age-related macular degeneration and family history of age-related macular degeneration. Main effects models for logistic regression and ordinal logistic regression were used to analyze the results.
