Optic Capture Without Anterior Vitrectomy in Pediatric Cataract Surgery.

Purpose: To compare outcomes of 2 surgical techniques in children undergoing cataract surgery with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation: optic capture of IOL without anterior vitrectomy (AV) or in-the-bag IOL with AV.

Design: Prospective randomized controlled trial.

Methods: Patients were randomized to 2 groups: optic capture without AV (group 1) or in-the-bag implantation with AV (group 2).

Evaluation of Choroidal Vascular Index in Amblyopic Patients.

Objectives: To compare subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and choroidal vascular index (CVI) in patients with hyperopic refractive and strabismic amblyopia and healthy subjects.

Materials And Methods: The study included 17 patients with strabismic amblyopia (Group 1), 29 patients with hyperopic refractive amblyopia (Group 2), and 16 eyes of 16 healthy volunteers (Group 3). Best corrected visual acuity was noted in all patients and volunteers.

Stereoacuity, Fusional Vergence Amplitudes, and Refractive Errors Prior to Treatment in Patients with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Objectives: To evaluate stereoacuity, fusional vergence amplitudes, and refractive errors in patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Materials And Methods: Twenty-three patients who were newly diagnosed as having ADHD and had not started medication, and 48 children without ADHD were included. Retrospective data analysis of comprehensive eye examination, stereoacuity, and fusional vergence amplitudes of the patients were performed.

and polymorphisms in children with high myopia.

Objective: To investigate and gene polymorphisms in children with high myopia in order to determine the genetic basis of large myopic shifts causing severe visual impairment and complications.

Methods: Seventy-four children with high myopia (≥6 diopters [D]; study group) and 77 emmetropic children (±0.5D; control group) were included.
