Purpose: Our aim is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of Acuity 360 telemedicine system, as compared to in-person clinic examination, in identifying clinically significant eye disease. Acuity 360 is a combination of commercially available ocular imaging devices used together to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the structures and diseases of the eye.
Methods: Observational cross-sectional study of consecutively examined patients where 19 remote examiners analyzed 80 patients using Acuity 360 images.
Purpose: To investigate the rate of spontaneous resolution of strabismus in patients with cortical visual impairment (CVI) at a single center over a 10-year period and to evaluate the success rate of strabismus surgery.
Methods: The medical records of patients with CVI and strabismus seen between October 2003 and October 2013 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were classified into 4 outcome groups: (1) those who experienced spontaneous resolution of strabismus, (2) those with persistent strabismus who did not undergo surgery, (3) those who achieved postoperative alignment of ≤10(Δ); and (4) those whose final postoperative alignment was 11(Δ)-25(Δ) or >25(Δ).

Nasolacrimal ducts (NLDs) are the connecting bridges between the OMIS and nasal cavity-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT). These ducts drain topical ocularly administrated solutions into the inferior meatus of the nose to reach the NALT.
