A comparative study of stereopsis in term and preterm children with and without retinopathy of prematurity.

Purpose: To evaluate stereopsis in term-born, preterm, and preterm children with and without retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and its treatment.

Methods: The cross-sectional study included 322 children between 3 and 11 years of age born term or preterm, with or without ROP, and with or without treatment for ROP. The ROP treatments were laser therapy, intravitreal injection (IVI) of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor, or their combination.

Purtscher-like retinopathy and paracentral acute middle maculopathy following breast filler injection.

Background: To report a rare case of pulmonary and ocular complications with visual loss due to bilateral Purtscher-like retinopathy and paracentral acute middle maculopathy (PAMM) following a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injection to the breast. Systemic and visual recovery was attained following corticosteroid therapy.

Case Presentation: A 27-year-old lady presented with painless blurring of vision in both eyes for 2 weeks following hyaluronic acid breast filler injections by a non-medical practitioner.

A rare case of bilateral vitreoretinopathy of Aicardi syndrome.

Purpose: To report a rare case of Aicardi syndrome presenting with concurrent peripheral retina nonperfusion with 360-degree neovascularization in the right eye and stalk tissue with a peripapillary fibrovascular membrane and tractional retinal detachment (TRD) in the left eye.

Observations: A one-month-old girl was referred for an ophthalmic evaluation to confirm the diagnosis of Aicardi syndrome due to abnormal brain magnetic resonance imaging. A 360-degree circumferential peripheral avascular retina with extensive neovascularization was present in the right eye.

Endophthalmitis: Clinical Settings, Antibiotic Susceptibility, and Management Outcomes.

is known to cause severe acute endophthalmitis and often leads to poor visual outcomes in most ophthalmic infections. This retrospective study is to report the clinical settings, antimicrobial susceptibility patterns, and visual outcome of endophthalmitis at a tertiary referral institution in Taoyuan, Taiwan. endophthalmitis was diagnosed in 37 eyes of 37 patients.

Streptococcus pneumoniae endophthalmitis: clinical settings, antibiotic susceptibility, and visual outcomes.

Streptococcus pneumoniae endophthalmitis is clinically more severe, more difficult to treat, and carry a higher risk of vision loss, evisceration, or enucleation. This study is to investigate the clinical settings, antibiotic susceptibility, and visual outcomes of S. pneumoniae endophthalmitis at a tertiary referral center in Taiwan.

Nasal or Temporal Internal Limiting Membrane Flap Assisted by Sub-Perfluorocarbon Viscoelastic Injection for Macular Hole Repair.

Purpose: To compare the outcomes between using a nasal and a temporal inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap both assisted by a novel technique in repairing a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH).

Design: Retrospective interventional case series.

Methods: Thirty-nine eyes from 39 patients with a FTMH <600 μm were included from a single institution.

Conjunctival necrosis following a subconjunctival injection of triamcinolone acetonide in a child.

Conjunctival necrosis is a rare complication following periocular/intraocular triamcinolone acetonide injection and has been reported extensively in adults. We describe a child who developed conjunctival necrosis following subconjunctival injection of triamcinolone acetonide for severe chronic anterior uveitis. Prompt diagnosis and management of this uncommon condition is vital.

Clinical profile and visual outcome of traumatic paediatric cataract in suburban Malaysia: a ten-year experience.

Introduction: Available data on traumatic cataract in Asian children is primarily confined to South Asian countries. We aimed to describe the demographics, nature of injury and visual outcomes of Malaysian children with traumatic cataract from a suburban area, and discuss the literature on Asian children with this condition.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 29 children below 17 years of age who were diagnosed with traumatic paediatric cataract and who attended Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia, between January 2000 and December 2010.
