Cell-containing collagen gels are one of the materials employed in tissue engineering and drug testing. A collagen gel is a useful three-dimensional (3D) scaffold that improves various cell functions compared to traditional two-dimensional plastic substrates. However, owing to poor nutrient availability, cells are not viable in thick collagen gels.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 72 patients with IXT. All the patients had undergone the initial strabismus surgery between April 2015 and October 2018 and had been preoperatively tested by both PAT and MO performed on different days for 30 and 60 min.
Purpose: To evaluate the utility of oral fluorescein angiography with ultra-widefield imaging system (oral UWF-FA) predominantly in children.
Methods: We recruited 17 patients aged 2 years to 22 years with retinal disorders. Each patient ingested a dose of fluorescein sodium set by body weight mixed with 100 mL of juice.
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the utility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in the quantification of eccentric fixation in amblyopic patients.
Material And Methods: In this study, 14 amblyopic patients and 10 healthy volunteers were enrolled. Under non-mydriatic conditions, fixation tests were performed directly using a fixation ophthalmoscope and indirectly using spectral-domain OCT.
