Comparison of the GoCheck Kids and Spot Screener photoscreening devices for the detection of amblyopia risk factors using 2021 AAPOS recommendations.

Purpose: To compare the Spot Vision Screener (SPOT) to the GoCheck Kids mobile application (GCK) in the evaluation of amblyopia risk factors (ARFs), according to updated 2021 AAPOS guidelines for instrument-based pediatric vision screening.

Methods: SPOT, GCK using horizontal and vertical images (two-photo mode), and a complete eye examination (CEE) were performed on children ages ≥1 to <7 years referred to a pediatric ophthalmologist from October 2020 to December 2022 for a failed vision screen based on manufacturer guidelines. The primary outcomes were sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value (PPV) for each photoscreener.

2020 Evaluation of Portable Vision Screening Instruments.

Amblyopia is the most common cause of preventable visual impairment in children and occurs as a result of unilateral or bilateral impairment in best-corrected visual acuity. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial to prevent poor visual outcomes in adulthood. Advances in technology have provided more objective diagnostic tools, which can now be used by a wide range of healthcare providers.

Inferior Rectus and Inferior Oblique Muscle Transections with Medial Rectus Muscle Partial Avulsion, following Metal Hook Injury.

Avulsion or transection of three extraocular muscles following trauma is a rare finding, and there are few case reports and series discussing the approach to surgical repair. The authors report a case of a penetrating metal hook injury resulting in partial avulsion of a medial rectus muscle and transection of the inferior rectus and inferior oblique muscles. This case highlights the importance of identification and primary repair of a complete inferior rectus muscle transection and a partial medial rectus muscle avulsion with an excellent functional outcome.

Quality analysis of publicly available videos for pediatric strabismus surgery.

YouTube.com is a popular, free video platform that parents are increasingly using for medical information. This analysis of pediatric strabismus surgery videos found that many videos lack useful information, and some provide disinformation that may be harmful to pediatric eye care.

Orbital cellulitis with choroidal detachment following strabismus surgery in an adult.

We report the case of a 76-year-old man who presented with left eye pain, eyelid swelling, and restricted extraocular motility 3 days after strabismus surgery. Computed tomography of the orbits did not show drainable abscesses, but magnetic resonance imaging on postoperative day 9 showed choroidal detachment with retrobulbar abscess and dural enhancement despite broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotic use. Following incision and drainage of the abscess, which grew methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, the patient showed improvement in visual acuity, pain, and extraocular motility.

Visual prognosis in compressive optic neuropathy secondary to sphenoid sinus mucocele: A systematic review.

Sphenoid sinus mucoceles (SSMs) are rare, benign lesions that can expand, often presenting with ocular symptoms-decreased vision, diplopia, visual field defects, proptosis, and external ophthalmoplegia. Reported cases are few, visual compromise varies, and factors affecting visual prognosis are poorly characterized. We investigate whether prompt surgical intervention (within 2 weeks of visual symptom onset) affects best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) regained in patients with vision loss secondary to compressive SSM.
