The Craig Hospital Eye Evaluation Rating Scale (CHEERS).

Background: Oculomotor deficits in smooth pursuit, saccades, vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR), vergence, and fixation are common problems seen after moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). No scale currently exists to rate all of these together. The Craig Hospital Eye Evaluation Rating Scale (CHEERS) was designed to systematically quantify frequency and severity of eye movement deficits in TBI.

A new prism use for treatment of cyclo-deviation in trochlear nerve injury.

Visual problems are common in patients with severe TBI. Diplopia is among the most frustrating of visual disturbances for patients, due to its functional consequences. This is further compounded by often slow, and at times, incomplete or partial recovery over six months or longer.

Terson's Syndrome Managed with 25-Gauge Vitrectomy.

Terson's Syndrome represents vitreous hemorrhage due to intracranial hemorrhage. A series of 18 adult eyes with Terson's Syndrome, due to either traumatic brain injury or ruptured aneurysm, successfully managed with 25-gauge vitrectomy was reported. All patients had improved vision, although some had limitation due to effects of surgery or the underlying pathology.
