Recovery of Corneal Hysteresis After Reduction of Intraocular Pressure in Chronic Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma
We read with interest the paper by Sun and associates, which corroborates prior reports of rises in corneal hysteresis following reductions in intraocular pressure (IOP), but were surprised that they…
Testability of Vision and Refraction in Preschoolers
Trager and associates recently reported interesting findings from the Strabismus, Amblyopia and Refractive Error Study (STARS) on the testability of vision and refraction in a Singaporean sample of Chinese preschool…
Protective Effect of Paraoxonase 1 Gene Variant Gln192Arg in Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Purpose Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness among older adults, in which oxidative damage may play a pivotal role. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) protects against oxidative damage…
Paretic Side/Normal Side Ratios of Cross-Sectional Areas of the Superior Oblique Muscle Vary Largely in Idiopathic Superior Oblique Palsy
Purpose To search for a new definition of muscle hypoplasia in congenital or idiopathic superior oblique muscle palsy. Design Retrospective case-control study. Methods Cross-sectional areas of the superior oblique and…
Retinal Thickness Analysis by Race, Gender, and Age Using Stratus OCT
Purpose To detect differences in retinal thickness among patients of different race, gender, and age using Stratus OCT. Design Cross-sectional study. Methods In a multicenter, university-based study, 126 patients with…
The Development of Myopia Among Children With Intermittent Exotropia
Purpose To describe the long-term refractive error changes in children diagnosed with intermittent exotropia (IXT) in a defined population. Design Retrospective, population-based observational study. Methods Using the resources of the…
Pattern Electroretinogram and Psychophysical Tests of Visual Function for Discriminating Between Healthy and Glaucoma Eyes
Purpose To compare the diagnostic accuracy of the pattern electroretinogram (pattern ERG) to that of standard automated perimetry (SAP), short-wavelength automated perimetry (SWAP), and frequency-doubling technology (FDT) perimetry for discriminating…
Acute Endophthalmitis After Cataract Surgery: 250 Consecutive Cases Treated at a Tertiary Referral Center in the Netherlands
Purpose To evaluate the clinical characteristics, bacterial culture, and visual outcome of patients with acute endophthalmitis after cataract surgery. Design Retrospective consecutive interventional case series. Methods Clinical notes from patients…
