Superior oblique tendon thinning as a surgical treatment for Brown syndrome.

Purpose: To evaluate the results of a superior oblique thinning technique for the treatment of congenital Brown syndrome.

Methods: The medical records of consecutive patients at a single institution who were diagnosed with congenital Brown syndrome and underwent superior oblique thinning were retrospectively reviewed. In all cases, the prism cover test was used to assess ocular alignment.

Meridional aniseikonia-causes, symptoms, and therapies.

Background: The term aniseikonia refers to the two eyes' appreciating different image sizes when viewing the same object. Meridional aniseikonia can occasionally cause significant distortion of the binocular spatial sense in perceptive patients.

Methods: The medical records of 3 adult patients who complained of binocular spatial distortion consistent with meridional aniseikonia were reviewed retrospectively.

Visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, subjective quality of vision, and quality of life with 4 different multifocal IOLs.

Purpose: This prospective, randomized, double-masked, clinical trial was designed to evaluate visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, subjective quality of vision, and quality of life in 47 patients symmetrically, and randomly, implanted with 4 different IOL designs (SN6AD1, SN60D3, ReZoom NXG1, and Tecnis ZMA00), 3 months after cataract intervention.

Methods: Binocular corrected and uncorrected distance visual acuity, binocular distance corrected (BCNVA) and uncorrected (UCNVA) near visual acuity, binocular distance corrected (BCIVA) and uncorrected (UCIVA) intermediate visual acuity, photopic, mesopic, and mesopic with glare contrast sensitivity, quality of vision, and quality of life were evaluated.

Results: Statistically and clinically significant differences were found in BCNVA and UCNVA at 33 cm between high and low add power IOLs, while diffractive SN6AD1 lenses achieved better UCNVA at 40 cm than refractive ReZoom IOLs.

Combined retinal detachment and candida chorioretinitis.

To report a case of slowly progressive traction and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment after successfully managed candida chorioretinitis. A 44-year-old immunocompromised woman was treated with voriconazole for fungal chorioretinitis. Six months after onset she developed a combined retinal detachment.
