Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of different surgical interventions (probing alone, probing with monocanalicular intubation, probing with inferior turbinate fracture, and probing with both) for treating simple congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) in children aged 12-36 months.
- A randomized, double-blind trial involved 201 children showing symptoms of CNLDO, with success measured by the absence of symptoms and a negative dye test three months post-surgery.
- The results indicated that while interventions did not significantly change success rates for younger children (12-24 months), older children (24-36 months) benefited more from intubation, achieving
The aim was clinical evaluation of the efficacy of topical insulin eye drops in patients with refractory persistent epithelial defects (PEDs). This prospective non-randomized investigation was conducted to examine the efficacy of insulin eye drops in treating patients with PEDs that did not respond to conventional therapy. A total of twenty-three patients were included in the study, and they were administered insulin eye drops formulated as 1 U/mL, four times a day.

- Laser refractive surgery (LRS) is a precise ophthalmic technique aimed at correcting vision using laser technology, emphasizing accuracy to reduce complications.
- Keratitis, which can be infectious or noninfectious, is a potential complication after LRS that necessitates prompt diagnosis and intervention.
- This review discusses the causes and management of post-LRS infectious keratitis to enhance understanding and improve patient outcomes.
Mucormycosis is a serious fungal infection caused by fungi in the order of Mucorales. Orbital mucormycosis occurs more frequently in rhino-orbital, sino-orbital, and rhino-orbito-cerebral forms of the disease, while isolated orbital mucormycosis is much less common. Herein, we present four cases of immunocompetent children who developed primary cutaneous mucormycosis, which subsequently invaded and progressed to orbital mucormycosis following direct traumatic injury caused by pecking from (Common Myna).

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of irreversible blindness in infants. The Postnatal Growth and ROP (G-ROP) study proposed new screening criteria for ROP. This study aimed to validate the G-ROP screening criteria in a group of Iranian premature infants who were treated in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for at least 40 days.

Fifty-two eyes of 26 patients with HFrEF (left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] < 40%) and 64 eyes of 32 healthy individuals were considered as the patient and the control groups, respectively. We found no statistically significant differences in age-adjusted mean central macular thickness (CMT), superficial or deep retinal capillary plexus vascular densities, and choriocapillaris flow (CC flow) density between the HFrEF group and the normal controls, with the exception of the parafoveal mean superficial capillary plexus vascular density (P = 0.

Observations: A 5-year-old girl presented with a history of penetrating corneal injury with a knife ten months ago. An eyelash was removed from the anterior chamber during her previous primary repair.
