Regular Versus Releasable Sutures in Surgery for Primary Congenital Glaucoma
Conclusions:Releasable sutures were not more advantageous than regular sutures in combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy with mitomycin C surgery for primary congenital glaucoma.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2017;54(5):295 –301.]</div> (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)

Strabismus After Ocular Surgery
Many types of ocular surgery can cause diplopia, including eyelid, conjunctival, cataract, refractive, glaucoma, retinal, and orbital surgery. Mechanisms include direct injury to the extraocular muscles from surgery or anesthesia, scarring of the muscle complex and/or conjunctiva, alteration of the muscle pulley system, mass effects from implants, and muscle displacement. Diplopia can also result from a loss of fusion secondary to long-standing poor vision in one eye or from a decompensation of preexisting strabismus that was not recognized preoperatively. Treatment, which typically begins with prisms and is follo...

Abnormal Spontaneous Brain Activity in Patients With Anisometropic Amblyopia Using Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Conclusions:This study demonstrated abnormal spontaneous brain activities in patients with anisometropic amblyopia under Rs-fMRI, and these abnormalities might contribute to the neuropathological mechanisms of anisometropic amblyopia.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2017;54(5):303 –310.]</div> (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)

Congenital Epithelial Inclusion Cyst of the Eyelid
A 12-day-old newborn presented with a bluish, brilliantly transilluminating swelling of the right temporal upper eyelid (Figures 1A –1B) noted to have been present since birth. Initially smaller, it consistently enlarged from birth to involve almost half of the upper eyelid length at presentation. No history of any sort of trauma was elicited. Due to progressive growth of the cyst, severe mechanical ptosis, and a potential ris k of deprivational amblyopia, surgical excision was performed. Histopathology showed a multilocular epithelial inclusion cyst with the lumen showing pseudopapillary (Source: Journal of Pediatric Op...

“My Baby's Glaucoma Operations Have Failed. . .”
At birth, this male infant's mother observed “cloudy, bigger, and blue eyes.” At 2 days of age, the patient was seen for eye care and was diagnosed as having congenital glaucoma and prescribed topical medications. Acetazolamide was added at 2 weeks of age for persistent elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP). At 5 weeks of age, uncomplica ted trabeculotomy procedures were performed in both eyes. Postoperative steroid drops, timolol, and latanoprost were recommended. At 3 months of age, bilateral trabeculotomy procedures were repeated. At 4 months of age, topical glaucoma medications were (Source: Journal of Pediatric ...

Abnormal Spontaneous Brain Activity in Patients With Anisometropic Amblyopia Using Resting-State Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Amblyopia is a unilateral or bilateral reduction of best corrected visual acuity that occurs in the setting of an otherwise normal eye or a structural abnormality involving the eye or visual pathway, with a reduction in visual acuity that cannot be attributed solely to the effect of the structural abnormality.1 Anisometropic amblyopia can cause deficits of monocular visual acuity, visual function, and binocular function,2 such as decreased visual acuity and contrast sensitivity,3 disordered eye movement,4 and decreased hand –eye coordination.5 Patching (monocular occlusion therapy) is one of (Source: Journal of Pediatric...

Regular Versus Releasable Sutures in Surgery for Primary Congenital Glaucoma
Primary congenital glaucoma refers to the rise of intraocular pressure (IOP) that occurs in the first 2 to 3 years of life due to an isolated abnormal development of the aqueous outflow system and without any obvious ocular or systemic condition known to cause glaucoma.1 It is the most common of the primary childhood glaucomas,2,3 with an incidence that varies among different populations. The reported incidence is 1 in 10,000 live births4 in some populations, rising to 1 in 2,500 in Saudi Arabia5 and 1 in 1,250 in Romanian Gypsies.6 The disease is also reportedly more severe in communities (Source: Journal of Pediatric Oph...

Strabismus After Ocular Surgery
Diplopia can be a debilitating complication of many types of eye surgery. In eyelid and conjunctival surgery, the muscles can be directly injured or can become scarred to the surrounding connective tissue. In cataract surgery, anesthetic agents can injure the muscles. At times, improving vision with cataract extraction can unmask preexisting strabismus from a fourth nerve palsy, thyroid eye disease, or loss of fusion secondary to long-standing poor vision in one eye. Refractive surgery can cause diplopia, especially when monovision is produced or in those with weak preoperative binocularity. (Source: Journal of Pediatric O...

Management of a Case of Retinopathy of Prematurity With Poor Visualization of the Retina
Wagner: This session will discuss the management of a case of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with poor visualization of the retina. A premature male infant born at 23 weeks' gestational age presents for the first time at 29 weeks. He has bilateral corneal haze that obstructs the view of the retina. You are not able to visualize the vasculature and can only see the nerve in the center, but not clearly. What would you do at this stage as far as your follow-up with this patient? Weaver: It's important that you mentioned the cornea. I think you always have to qualify what layer of the eye that (Source: Journal of Pediatric O...

Video Game Vision Syndrome: A New Clinical Picture in Children?
Conclusions:These symptoms were frequent and peculiar in the video game group and might be part of a video game vision syndrome that has not been defined yet. It is important to recognize these signs as possible functional disorders to avoid erroneous diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 201X;XX(XX):XX –XX.]</div> (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)

Toward Achieving 100% Adherence for Retinopathy of Prematurity Screening Guidelines
Conclusions:A computerized system specifically designed with process improvement and error-free delivery of ROP care as a focus can improve adherence to AAP guidelines and achieve superior results. Such a system creates a standardized and measurable safety net for pediatric ophthalmologists, neonatologists, hospitals, and follow-up pediatricians.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 201X;XX(XX):XX –XX.]</div> (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)

Preliminary Study of the Differences in Optic Nerve Head Hemoglobin Measures Between Patients With and Without Childhood Glaucoma
Conclusions:The Laguna ONhE software is useful for patients with childhood glaucoma. However, hemoglobin levels in the optic nerve head across the whole disc may have normal values. This method had good reliability and is easy to implement in routine clinical practice.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 201X;XX(XX):XX –XX.]</div> (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)
