A case report of macular coloboma as an ocular clinical feature in Sturge Weber Syndrome.

Introduction And Importance: Sturge Weber Syndrome (SWS) is a congenital neurocutaneous disorder that affects several organs. Abnormal ocular findings are typically on the same side as the SWS. These changes can affect various parts of the eye, including the eyelid, front chamber, cornea, choroid, and retina.

Modeling monocular form deprivation in rabbits using a simulated-cataract intraocular lens.

Aim: To establish an animal model of form deprivation amblyopia based on a simulated cataract intraocular lens (IOLs).

Methods: Poly(dimethyl siloxane)-SiO thin films (PSF) with different degrees of opacity as IOL materials were prepared. The light transmission of the PSF-IOL was measured, and its biosafety was determined by cell counting kit (CCK)-8 assay using the HLEC-B3 cell line and ARPE-19 cell line.

Factors Influencing Refractive Surgery Rejection in Israeli Patients.

Background: One of the major causes of reversible visual impairment is a refractive error, which can be corrected through refractive surgery. Data regarding the outcomes and complications of these procedures exist; however, there is a notable gap in understanding the factors leading to patient rejection, particularly in diverse populations like Israel.

Objectives: To detect clinical risk factors of patients who intend to undergo LASIK procedure and to improve the conversion rates of LASIK procedure in this population.

Objective Visual Acuity Estimates in Amblyopia Are More Accurate With Optotype-Based P300 Than With VEP Measurements.

Purpose: Traditional visual acuity (VA) measurements depend on subjective responses, which can be unreliable, especially with uncooperative participants. Objective measurements with visual evoked potentials (VEP) address this issue but can overestimate VA in amblyopia. This study aims to establish the P300 component of the event-related potential as an objective VA test for amblyopia and compare its performance to subjective (psychophysical) and VEP-based VA estimates.

Case Report: Novel compound heterozygous variants cause achromatopsia in three patients from a family.

This study report a novel missense variant in the gene identified by targeted gene panel sequencing approach in a Chinese family with achromatopsia. The proband, a 24-year-old female, with normal intelligence, motor development and speech abilities exhibited nystagmus, amblyopia, photophobia, and indistinguishable colors. In addition, the two sisters of the proband had the same clinical symptoms, which means that three patients from a family with a monochromasia clinical diagnosis.

Characteristics of open globe injury in children under six.

Introduction: This study aimed to analyse the clinical characteristics of open globe injury (OGI) in children under six.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical data of children with OGI admitted to the Eye Center of the Second Hospital of Jilin University, China, between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2020.

Results: The study included 106 children, with 61 males (57.

Occlusion with high plus contact lenses in the treatment of strabismic amblyopia - a case series.

: Amblyopia is a common disease, and interventions like patching treatment are well studied. When standard therapy fails, sometimes uncommon treatment options become necessary. : We present three cases of patients with severe strabismic amblyopia with initial visual acuities of 20/400, 20/2000 and 20/160 who failed conventional treatment and subsequently received treatment with high-powered contact lenses (HPCL) of either + 22D or + 25D strength.

Surgical pupil reconstruction for congenital idiopathic acorea with lens transparency saving. Case report.

Introduction: Idiopathic congenital acorea is extremely rare. There are several techniques for preserving the clear lens during pupil formation.

Case Presentation: The complete pupil absence caused acute glaucoma attack 2 weeks after birth, which was controlled in a 1-month-old child by peripheral iridectomy and disconnecting iris-corneal synechias.

Knowledge and Awareness of Amblyopia Among the Adult Population of the Al-Baha Region, Saudi Arabia.

Background: Amblyopia results from abnormal visual development, leading to reduced vision. Early recognition of the disease can facilitate early treatment and increase the chances of recovering visual acuity. Despite its prevalence and treatable nature, there is a concerning lack of awareness about amblyopia among the general population in Saudi Arabia.

A novel variant associated with NEDDFSA and new ocular features: case report and review of literature.

Introduction: Neurodevelopmental disorder with dysmorphic facies and distal skeletal anomalies (NEDDFSA) is a recently described syndromic disease linked to genetic variants. We present a novel variant associated with a phenotype of NEDDFSA in a pediatric patient presenting with multiple anomalies including bilateral congenital ptosis and blepharophimosis, floppy eyelids, telecanthus, downward palpebral slants, myopia, cryptorchidism, hallux valgus and developmental delay.

Methods: Genetic testing performed on a large panel revealed a likely pathogenic variant in the gene (heterozygous, c.

The Prevalence of Obesity is Increased in Adolescents with Amblyopia: An Analysis of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Data.

Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision loss in children. Amblyopia has been associated with impaired depth perception but little attention has been paid to the extent to which amblyopia increases the risk of obesity. Public-use data from the 1999-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used.

Awareness of Amblyopia Among the Population of Jazan, Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Survey.

Background:  Amblyopia, or "lazy eye," is a visual disorder that often goes undiagnosed, especially in its early stages. Early detection and treatment are critical to preventing long-term visual impairment. This study aimed to assess the awareness of amblyopia among the population of Jazan, Saudi Arabia.

Review: Clinical findings and genetic characterization of children affected with X-linked retinoschisis in the Spanish population.

X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is an inherited retinal disorder due to mutations in retinoschisin 1, characterized by impaired central vision secondary to parafoveal cystic cavities and visual field loss by splitting through the retinal nerve fibre layer in the peripheral retina. It is the leading cause of juvenile macular degeneration in males, and currently there is no approved treatment but carbonic anhydrase inhibitors can be used. A retrospective review of the medical records of 17 children with confirmed XLRS seen in the Paediatric Ophthalmology Department of La Paz University Hospital from the 1st of January 2009 to the 1st of June of 2023 was conducted.

[Developing effective intervention strategies for congenital cataract to facilitate visual rehabilitation].

Congenital cataract is a blinding condition that presents at birth. Form-deprivation amblyopia can be developed and has become the leading cause of childhood blindness in China. For the problems and challenges in the treatment of congenital cataract, this article discusses the surgical treatment and postoperative rehabilitation strategies and emphasizes the importance of developing effective intervention strategies to improve the visual outcomes in children with congenital cataract, providing valuable guidance for clinical treatment.

Associations of light-adapted electroretinogram in paediatric amblyopia.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the light-adapted (LA) electroretinogram (ERG) associated with paediatric amblyopia.

Method: A total of 220 eyes from 81 postoperative paediatric cataract patients and 29 healthy children were enrolled in four groups, namely controls, unilaterally amblyopic eyes, non-amblyopic fellow eyes and bilaterally affected eyes. Differences in LA ERG variables (peak time and amplitude of a- and b-waves and photopic negative response [PhNR]) were compared across groups, as well as their associations with visual acuity and changes in axial length.

Effects of anisometropic amblyopia on visual cognitive functions in children.

Background: To investigate visual cognitive functions, including visual attention, executive function, and visual working memory, in children with anisometropic amblyopia versus those with normal vision.

Methods: Thirty-five children with anisometropic amblyopia and 34 with normal vision participated. Visual acuity, stereoacuity, and contrast sensitivity were measured, followed by the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery's six subtests for cognitive evaluation.
