Assessment of macular microvascular changes in children following treatment of anisometropic myopic amblyopia using optical coherence tomography angiography.

Purpose: To evaluate macular microvascular changes in the form of foveal avascular zone (FAZ) area and vessel density in the superficial, deep capillary plexuses, and choriocapillaris using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in children with anisometropic myopic amblyopia before and after treatment.

Methods: This prospective observational study included 32 patients younger than 12 years old with anisomyopic amblyopia. OCTA was done before patients' treatment with optical correction with or without patching and was repeated after successful amblyopia treatment.

Bilateral Medial Rectus Advancement versus Unilateral Medial Rectus Advancement with Lateral Rectus Recession for Surgical Management of Large Angle Consecutive Exotropia without Adduction Deficit.

Purpose: To compare the postoperative eye alignment in patients who underwent bilateral medial rectus advancement with those who underwent unilateral medial rectus advancement plus ipsilateral lateral rectus recession in the case of large angle consecutive exotropia without adduction deficit.

Methods: Thirty-four patients with large angle consecutive exotropia that developed after infantile esotropia surgery were included in this retrospective study. Nineteen patients underwent bilateral medial rectus muscle advancement (group I) and 15 underwent unilateral medial rectus muscle advancement with ipsilateral lateral rectus muscle recession (group II).

Clinical and Surgical Outcomes of Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) on Hard Cataracts in the Egyptian Population.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical and surgical outcomes of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) in hard cataract of Egyptian population.

Setting: ICare Center, Alexandria, Egypt.

Design: Retrospective observational.

Resorbable polylactic acid polymer plates in repair of blow-out orbital floor fractures.

Purpose: To evaluate the use of the resorbable polylactic acid polymer implants (Resorb X) in the management of orbital floor blow-out fractures as regards safety, cosmetic, and functional results.

Methods: In a prospective, interventional case series, 22 patients with traumatic blow-out floor fractures underwent lower fornix transconjunctival repair using polylactic acid implant insertion over the defect without fixation. Orbital imaging was done preoperatively, at 1 month and 1 year postoperatively with orbital computed tomography with 2 mm cuts of axial, sagittal, and coronal scans.

The Prevalence of Lower Eyelid Fornix Fat Prolapse: A Diagnostic Measure of Involutional Entropion.

Purpose: In our experience, lower lid involutional entropion is commonly associated with inferior fornix fat prolapse and non-eversion of the tarsal plate. We aimed to assess the prevalence of this sign as an early diagnostic indicator of lower lid involutional entropion in symptomatic and control groups.

Methods: Prospective, comparative, observational case series.
