Bilateral Duane retraction syndrome with optic nerve hypoplasia.

The authors report a unique case of a child with the infrequent association of bilateral Duane retraction syndrome with underdevelopment of the anterior visual pathway. Both conditions were caused presumably due to a common disturbance of neuronal development during the second month of embryogenesis.

Bilateral persistent fetal vasculature: a study of 11 cases.

Purpose: To describe the clinical and radiologic features of patients with bilateral persistent fetal vasculature (PFV).

Methods: All patients diagnosed with symmetric, bilateral PFV over a 3.5-year period were included in this representative, observational case series.

Ocular manifestation in treated multibacillary Hansen's disease.

Purpose: To report the prevalence of ocular morbidity in patients with treated multibacillary Hansen's disease (HD) using modern ophthalmic diagnostic techniques in a rural community endemic for HD.

Design: Cross-sectional, observation study.

Participants: All patients with multibacillary HD who had completed their multidrug therapy and who resided in 4 defined geographical areas in Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India.

Anterior dislocation of a sulcus fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens in a high myope.

A 31-year-old man with high axial myopia and strabismus fixus convergens underwent bilateral refractive lens exchange followed by a squint surgery (bilateral superior partial Jensen's procedure and medial rectus recession). After one year he presented with traumatic anterior dislocation of the sulcus fixated posterior chamber polymethyl methacrylate lens. The lens was dialed back into the ciliary sulcus without any complications.

Recurrence of bilateral herpes simplex virus keratitis following bimatoprost use.

A 76-year-old man presented with features of bilateral herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis. It was found to be recurrence of bilateral HSV keratitis following the use of Bimatoprost eye drops for uncontrolled intraocular pressure in a case of bilateral primary open-angle glaucoma.

Can ocular torsion be measured using the slitlamp biomicroscope?

Purpose: To evaluate and compare a stereo-biomicroscopic technique of ocular torsion measurement with fundus photographic technique.

Methods: This prospective masked observational study included 72 eyes of 36 consecutive subjects with normal ocular motility. The disc-foveal angle was measured by two masked investigators using a slitlamp stereo-biomicroscopic and fundus photographic technique.
