Understanding post-operative refractive outcome in pediatrics after IOL implementation: factors and predictors.

Background: In pediatric ophthalmology, calculating intra-ocular lens (IOL) power can be challenging. It is important to predict if the post-surgery refractive error (RE) will meet the intended refractive goal. In this study, we aimed to investigate the factors and predictors influencing RE outcomes in children undergoing IOL implantation.

Botulinum Toxin as an Adjunct to Bilateral Medial Rectus Recessions for Large Angle of Esotropia in High Myopic Patients: A Case Report.

Botulinum toxin injection adjunct to bilateral medial rectus recession is a documented procedure for correcting the large angle of infantile esotropia. A 9-year-old boy presented with a large angle of esotropia (80 PD) and high myopia. He underwent bilateral medial rectus recession with an adjunct botulinum toxin injection.

The prevalence of strabismus and visual outcomes in children with hydrocephalus and a ventriculoperitoneal shunt: medical record review.

Background: Many ophthalmological complications have been associated with hydrocephalus (HC), including ocular motility disorders, visual field defects, optic atrophy, and loss of visual acuity. No studies have investigated the prevalence of strabismus and visual outcomes of children with congenital HC after ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt in Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: Estimate the frequency of strabismic children diagnosed with HC who underwent a VP shunt procedure.

Deletion at the GCNT2 Locus Causes Autosomal Recessive Congenital Cataracts.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to identify the molecular basis of autosomal recessive congenital cataracts (arCC) in a large consanguineous pedigree.

Methods: All participating individuals underwent a detailed ophthalmic examination. Each patient's medical history, particularly of cataracts and other ocular abnormalities, was compiled from available medical records and interviews with family elders.

Mutation in LIM2 Is Responsible for Autosomal Recessive Congenital Cataracts.

Purpose: To identify the molecular basis of non-syndromic autosomal recessive congenital cataracts (arCC) in a consanguineous family.

Methods: All family members participating in the study received a comprehensive ophthalmic examination to determine their ocular phenotype and contributed a blood sample, from which genomic DNA was extracted. Available medical records and interviews with the family were used to compile the medical history of the family.

Unilateral optic neuritis, scleritis and exudative retinal detachment due to recurrent orbital pseudotumor.

Idiopathic orbital inflammation, also known as orbital pseudotumor, describes a spectrum of idiopathic, non-neoplastic, non-infectious, space-occupying orbital lesions without identifiable local or systemic cause. The condition occurs mainly in young adults who may present with acute pain, proptosis, chemosis and limitations of extraocular movements. Decreased vision due to optic nerve infiltration and macular edema as a result of scleritis is less common sequel of orbital pseudotumor.
