RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical characteristics of macular diplopia, treatment, and outcome. METHODS: Retrospective descriptive study of cases referred to the ocular motility section of a tertiary hospital with diplopia, diagnosed with macular diplopia between 2022-23. The etiology of the macular pathology and the type of associated strabismus were recorded. The result was considered good if the diplopia improved or was eliminated with the medical or surgical treatment. Follow-up time from the onset of diplopia until data collection was recorded. RESULTS: a total of 19 cases comprised the sample (63.2% women), mean age: 67.16 years. Amblyopia (21.1%), high myopia (47.4%), epirretinal membrane (ERM) (36.8%), neovascular membrane (26.3%), macular hole (10.5%), and lamellar (15.8%), and age macular degeneration (5.3%) were registered. The 47.4% had vertical diplopia, horizontal: 5.3 and 47.4% mixed. The mean horizontal deviation was: 7.3 PD (prism diopters) and vertical: 6.22 PD. Ocular extorsion was observed in 26.3%, and intorsion: 5.3%. Torticollis was present in 15.8%. The treatment consisted of strabismus surgery + Botox (15.8%), strabismus surgery (47.4%), medical treatment with Fresnel prims or Scotch cellophane (36.8%). A 68.4% presented a good result at the end of the study. The mean follow-up was 55.58 months. CONCLUSIONS: Misregistration of macular photoreceptors is the most common cause of binocular diplopia in patients with ERM or other macular pathologies. Most complains of vertical or mixed diplopia. Sensorimotor evaluation of these patients should be thorough. Early diagnosis prevents unnecessary prescription of prism glasses. Surgical and/or medical treatment achieves good results in most cases.

RESUMO

Purpose. The study investigates corneal and higher-order internal aberrations in patients with amblyopia of different etiologies and their relationship with visual acuity, refraction, axial length, and fixation parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Forty-five patients (90 eyes) were examined. All patients were divided into five groups: 1 - with dysbinocular amblyopia; 2 - with refractive amblyopia; 3 - with anisometropic amblyopia; 4 - with relative amblyopia due to congenital myopia; 5 (control) - fellow eyes without amblyopia. Aberrometry was performed using the OPD-Scan III device (Nidek, Japan). Fixation parameters were studied on the MP-3 microperimeter (Nidek, Japan). Correlation analysis was performed using Pearson's linear correlation coefficient (r). RESULTS: In amblyopia associated with congenital myopia, a significant increase in corneal and internal aberrations RMS, Total HOA, astigmatism (V) (0.65±0.26; 1.01±0.31; 4.22±1.17; -2.17±0.72; 0.86±0.3, respectively; control group - 0.44±0.19; 0.58±0.27; 1.0±0.75; -0.94±0.89; 0.47±0.65) and internal spherical aberration (0.06±0.02; control group - 0.04±0.03) was found. In dysbinocular amblyopia, a significant increase in internal aberrations Trefoil (V) and Coma (H) (0.75±0.52 and 0.17±0.35, respectively; control group - 0.05±0.28 and -0.07±0.21) was found, which correlated with a decrease in fixation density in the 2° ring (r= -0.40, r= -0.41). CONCLUSIONS: The increased level of higher-order aberrations in amblyopia associated with congenital myopia is due to the anatomical and optical features of the eyes. The increase in internal aberrations Trefoil (V) and Coma (H) in dysbinocular amblyopia is associated with a mismatch of the optical elements of the eye due to impaired fixation, i.e., it is not the cause, but the consequence of amblyopia.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study assesses the effect of pleoptic treatment on the stability of visual fixation in children and adolescents with amblyopia of various degrees. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The effect of the treatment in 35 children (35 eyes) with amblyopia of various degrees was evaluated using the MP-1 Microperimeter. The stability was determined by two criteria - number of fixation point hits in the 2° zone and the width of the field of fixation. Children underwent a standard course of treatment. RESULTS: There was an improvement in the stability of visual fixation after treatment. The number of fixation point hits in the 2° zone increased from 44.8±4.1% to 52.6±3.8%. At the same time, the width of the field of fixation after treatment decreased from 6.5±0.7° to 5.2±0.5°. Visual acuity with correction in children with amblyopia correlates with the number of fixation point hits in the 2° zone (direct high correlation "+0.7") and width of the field of fixation (inverse high correlation "-0.7") both before and after the treatment. CONCLUSION: Stabilization of visual fixation was observed in patients with amblyopia of varying degrees after the pleoptic treatment.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a vision-threatening disease of premature infants. Practice guidelines recommend that all infants screened for ROP receive follow-up eye examinations to screen for ophthalmic complications.1 The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for the development of strabismus, amblyopia, high refractive error, and cataracts among ROP-screened, non-treated infants. METHODS: Retrospective single-centre study of ROP-screened, non-treated premature infants with ophthalmic follow-up. Clinical variables were screened for association with ocular findings at follow-up. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine the risk factors associated with ocular findings. RESULTS: 309 patients were seen for follow-up at 0.97 (0.69) [mean (SD)] years after neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge. Strabismus was predicted by occipitofrontal circumference (OFC) z-score at NICU discharge (OR 0.61; 95% CI [0.42, 0.88]; p = 0.008), intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) grade III or IV (OR 3.18; 95% CI [1.18, 8.54]; p = 0.02), and exclusive formula feeding at NICU discharge (OR 2.20; 95% CI [1.07, 4.53]; p = 0.03). Significant predictors of amblyopia were OFC z-score at discharge (OR 0.55; 95% CI [0.31, 0.96]; p = 0.03) and necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) (OR 6.94; 95% CI [1.38, 35.00]; p = 0.02). NEC was a significant risk factor for high refractive error (OR 7.27; 95% CI [1.39, 37.94]; p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Among premature infants screened but not treated for ROP, severe IVH, NEC, low OFC z-score, and exclusive formula feeding at NICU discharge were risk factors for ocular morbidity. These findings affirm the value of ophthalmic follow-up for all ROP-screened infants, particularly those with the identified risk factors.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Peters anomaly is characterized by a defect in the development of the anterior segment of the eye during fetal development (Anterior segment dysgenesis). This anomaly presents a broad clinical presentation ranging from minimal peripheral corneal opacity to extensive adhesions of the iris and lens with dense central corneal opacity that impairs vision. Peters Plus Syndrome is a recessive autosomal syndrome manifested by Peters anomaly, along with systemic disorders such as brachydactyly (short fingers and toes), short stature, a developmental delay, dysmorphic facial features, and may accompanied with heart and genitourinary malformations. The most common sign of Peters' anomaly is corneal opacity that appears at birth. This opacity can cause blockage of the central visual axis and cause the development of a deprivational amblyopia. In addition, the patient may suffer from glaucoma due to malformations in the angle structures as well as a shallow anterior chamber. Treatments are aimed at clearing the central visual axis as soon as possible in order to allow the visual system to mature and to avoid the development of amblyopia. Full-thickness corneal transplantation combined with Cataract surgery if necessary is the current standard of care. Optical iridoplasty is a milder surgical alternative in cases where the corneal opacity is not significant.

RESUMO

Purpose: To describe the presence of ocular abnormalities in children with developmental delay (DD) and compare with normal children; to analyze associated risk factors, systemic problems, and the possible treatment that can be delivered. Methods: This was a cross sectional, observational study. We included children between one and 18 years, diagnosed as developmental delay in DD group, and next immediate age- and sex-matched children without developmental delay on the same day or during the same period in the control group. Detailed history and neuroimaging findings were noted. Uncorrected visual acuity, best-corrected visual acuity for distance and near, cycloplegic refraction, anterior, and posterior segment examination was carried out. Various ocular problems, delayed visual maturation (DVM), and cortical visual impairment (CVI) were diagnosed based on examination. Data were analyzed statistically, and P value <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Ninety-four children were included in each group. Mean age was 4.97 ± 3.84 years, and 64.89% were males. In DD group: Most common abnormal neuroimaging finding was gliotic changes; systemic associations: 39 children; 83 children had ocular problems: refractive error-70, strabismus-39, cataract-five, amblyopia-16; DVM-13; CVI-13 children; glasses and vision stimulation were advised in 39 and 65 children, respectively; whereas, in control group: refractive error-36, strabismus-15, cataract-two; amblyopia-20 children. Conclusion: 88.29% of developmental delay children had ocular abnormalities, commonest was refractive error (74.47%); these values were higher than in control group; common risk factors were low birthweight and consanguineous marriage; epilepsy was the most common systemic association.

RESUMO

It is generally believed that the visual acuity of an amblyopic eye cannot improve significantly in adulthood. However, there have been reports of this occurring following visual loss in the fellow eye. Best-corrected visual acuity improvement in amblyopic eyes of children with strabismic amblyopia following strabismus surgery has also been reported. We present the case of an adult whose visual acuity in his amblyopic eye improved 4 Snellen lines over 28 months following strabismus surgery.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare amblyopia treatment outcomes between patients with neurodevelopmental disorders and their typically developing peers. METHODS: Of 2,311 patients diagnosed with amblyopia between 2010 and 2014 at Boston Children's Hospital, 460 met inclusion criteria (age 2-12 with anisometropic, strabismic, or mixed amblyopia [interocular difference (IOD) ≥2 lines]). Treatment and visual outcomes were analyzed according to neurodevelopmental status: neurodevelopmental delay (DD) versus typical development (TD). RESULTS: The DD group (n = 54) and TD group (n = 406) were similar in demographics, amblyogenic risk factors, baseline visual measures, prescribed therapy, and adherence (P ≥ 0.10). Between-visit follow-up time was longer for the DD group (0.65 [0.42- 0.97] years) than for the TD group (0.5 [0.36-0.82] years; P = 0.023). IOD improved similarly in each group by the last visit (DD, -0.15 logMAR [-0.31 to -0.02]; TD, -0.2 logMAR [-0.38 to -0.1]; P = 0.09). Each group reached amblyopia resolution by the last visit at similar frequencies (DD, 23/54 [43%]; TD, 211/406 [52%]; P > 0.2). DD diagnosis did not independently influence amblyopia resolution (HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.53-1.12; P = 0.17), but each additional month of interval time between follow-up visits reduced the likelihood of resolution by 2.7% (HR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.51-0.87; P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with DD and those with TD responded similarly to amblyopia therapy; however, follow-up intervals were longer in patients with DD and correlated with the likelihood of persistent amblyopia, suggesting that greater efforts at assuring follow-up may benefit patients with DD.

RESUMO

Approximately 7% of children in the United States younger than 18 years have a diagnosed eye disorder, and 1 in 4 children between two and 17 years of age wears glasses. Routine eye examinations during childhood can identify abnormalities necessitating referral to ophthalmology, which optimizes children's vision through the early diagnosis and treatment of abnormalities. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends vision screening at least once in children three to five years of age to detect amblyopia or its risk factors to improve visual acuity. The American Academy of Family Physicians supports this recommendation. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends screening starting at three years of age and at regular intervals in childhood, and that instrument-based screening (e.g., photoscreening, autorefraction) is an alternative to vision charts for testing visual acuity in patients three to five years of age. Eye examinations include visual acuity testing, external examinations, assessing ocular alignment and pupillary response, and assessing for opacities with the red reflex examination. Common abnormalities include refractive errors, amblyopia (reduction in visual acuity in one eye not attributable to structural abnormality), and strabismus (misalignment of the eye). Rare diagnoses include retinoblastoma (often detectable through loss of red reflex), cataracts (detectable by an abnormal red reflex), and glaucoma (often manifests as light sensitivity with corneal cloudiness and enlargement).

RESUMO

The optimal method of treatment for a child depends on the patient's age at the time of diagnosis, the onset and type of amblyopia, and the degree of compliance attainable. In deprivation amblyopia, the cause of visual impairment (e.g., cataract, ptosis) needs to be treated first, and then the disorder can be treated such as other types of amblyopia. Anisometropic amblyopia needs glasses first. In strabismic amblyopia, conventionally amblyopia should be treated first, and then strabismus corrected. Correction of strabismus will have little if any effect on the amblyopia, although the timing of surgery is controversial. Best outcomes are achieved if amblyopia is treated before the age of 7 years. The earlier the treatment, the more efficacious it is. In selected cases of bilateral amblyopia, the more defective eye must be given a competitive advantage over the comparatively good eye. Glasses alone can work when a refractive component is present, but occlusion might make the glasses work faster. The gold standard therapy for amblyopia remains occlusion of the better eye although penalization is also evidenced to achieve equal results. Pharmacotherapy has been shown to achieve suboptimal outcomes. Newer monocular and binocular therapies based on neural tasks and games are adjuncts to patching and can also be used in adults.

RESUMO

AIMS: The aim of the study was to retrospectively evaluate changes in vision after the implantation of trifocal (tIOL) or rotationally asymmetric multifocal artificial intraocular lenses (mIOL) in patients undergoing clear lens extraction. The main goal was to determine whether changes to central visual acuity occur after the implantation of an IOL at a follow-up examination after one year. Other objectives were to determine the difference between the groups with implanted diffractive and rotationally asymmetric artificial intraocular lenses, as well as to evaluate the risk of accurate correction in patients who had lived most of their lives "undercorrected". MATERIAL AND METHODS: In our study, we present a retrospective longitudinal evaluation of results in patients after the implantation of an artificial intraocular lens. In the period from 2013 to 2020, we evaluated changes in the vision of 22 patients aged 39-59 years, of whom 18 were women and 5 were men. The average preoperative refraction of myopic eyes was +5.7 ±2.13 Dsf and +1.24 ±0.86 Dcyl. In amblyopic eyes, 7 diffractive lenses and 15 rotationally asymmetric lenses were used. RESULTS: Uncorrected distance visual acuity before surgery and one year (1Y) after was 0.13 ±0.09 vs. 0.57 ±0.28 (p < 0.001); the best corrected distance visual acuity before and 1Y after was 0.53 ±0.22 vs. 0.62 ±0.29 (p = 0.024); uncorrected near visual acuity before and 1Y after was 0.06 ±0.06 vs. 0.48 ±0.32 (p < 0.001); the best corrected near visual acuity before and afér the surgical procedure was 0.45 ±0.27vs. 0.55 ±0.35 (p = 0.014). CONCLUSION: Implantation of tIOL and mIOL lenses was effective in our group of patients with amblyopia, thus improving uncorrected distance and near visual acuity and without serious adverse effects. At the same time, we evaluate that the change in refraction and the removal of anisometropia lead to a significant change in the best corrected visual acuity for distance or near vision at the one-year follow-up examination.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The present study was aimed to compare the epidemiological and ocular findings of twin children in comparison with non- twin age matched individuals as their control. METHODS: In this cross sectional study, a total of 90 twins (180 cases) were compared with 182 non- twin matched children. All the study participants were examined by a comprehensive ophthalmic examination including measurement of the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), cycloplegic refraction, ocular deviation, strabismus as well as the anterior and posterior ophthalmic examinations. Demographic information of children were collected by using an organized questionnaire. Monozygotic twins were considered if there were similarity of their phenotypic characteristics and gender, otherwise the twins were considered as dizygotic. RESULTS: The mirror- image twins (MIT) was defined according to the laterality of symmetrical ocular characteristics of twins. In this study, the mean age of the study participants was 7.08±4.42 and 7.58±3.99 years in twins and non-twins groups, respectively (P=0.253). Among the twins, 27 (30%) were monozygotic. Refractive form of MIT was seen in 5 twins (2.8%). The spherical refractive error was more hyperopic in twins compared to non- twins (P=0.041). BCVA in the twin group (0.07±0.16LogMAR) was significantly worse than non-twins (0.03±0.08LogMAR, P < 0.001) and higher percentage of them were amblyopic (37.2% versus 10.4%, P=0.005). Twin and controls had strabismus in 17.2% and 1.6%, respectively (P < 0.001). Regarding the comparison between mono- and dizygotic twins, more significant percentage of monozygotic twins had amblyopia (P=0.004) and strabismus (P=0.047). Multivariate analysis showed significant correlation among low gestational age and female gender, low birth weight and seizure. CONCLUSION: Female sex, less gestational age, low birth weight, amblyopia and strabismus were significantly higher in twins. Therefore, it is important to check their refractive error, amblyopia and strabismus to prevent their further complications.

RESUMO

Most sources state that pleoptic treatment is ineffective after the age of 14 years. Despite the high level of diagnostic capabilities in modern ophthalmology, unilateral amblyopia is quite often diagnosed in adolescents. This rises the question - should they refuse treatment? To evaluate the impact of treatment on retinal light sensitivity and the state of the patient's visual fixation, a 23-year-old female patient with high degree amblyopia was examined using the MP-1 Microperimeter. Three courses of treatment were carried out to recover (centralize) fixation on the MP-1. In the course of pleoptic treatment, the patient was observed to have a gradual increase in the light sensitivity of the retina from 2.0 dB to 18.5 dB and centralization of visual fixation. Therefore, treatment in adult patients with high degree amblyopia is justified, since the method improves visual functions. The result will be less pronounced and persistent than in patients under the age of 14, but it is still possible to alleviate the patient's condition, which means that if the patient wishes to undergo treatment, it should be carried out.

RESUMO

Objetivo: Comparar la efectividad del tratamiento de atropina versus oclusión ocular en pacientes con ambliopía refractiva moderada unilateral. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y prospectivo de una serie de casos que acudieron a la consulta de Oftalmología Pediátrica del Instituto Cubano de Oftalmología Ramón Pando Ferrer durante el período comprendido de septiembre del 2019 a septiembre de 2021. La muestra quedó conformada por 44 pacientes, los cuales se dividieron de forma aleatoria en dos grupos de estudio, 22 casos al grupo de oclusiones e igual número al grupo de atropina, que cumplían los criterios de inclusión. Se analizaron las variables edad, sexo, defecto refractivo, agudeza visual mejor corregida, sensibilidad al contraste y estereopsis. Resultados: Predominó el astigmatismo hipermetrópico en ambos grupos de estudio. La media de la agudeza visual mejor corregida inicial en ambos grupos fue de 0,4 LogMAR y mejoró a 0,1 LogMAR al finalizar el tratamiento. La media de la sensibilidad al contraste inicial fue de 1,48 (±19,75) para el grupo de oclusiones y de 1,47 (±20,5) para el grupo atropina, al finalizar alcanzaron 1,59 (±10,1) y 1,57 (±10,0) por orden de mención. La estereopsis inicial fue subnormal en ambos grupos, al finalizar el tratamiento fue normal en el 77,3 por ciento grupo oclusión y el 68,2 por ciento grupo atropina. Conclusiones: La efectividad del tratamiento en pacientes con ambliopía refractiva moderada unilateral con atropina es similar a la que se alcanza con la aplicación de la oclusión ocular(AU)


Objective: To compare the effectiveness of atropine treatment versus ocular occlusion in patients with unilateral moderate refractive amblyopia. Methods: A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study of a series of cases that attended the Pediatric Ophthalmology office of the Ramón Pando Ferrer Cuban Institute of Ophthalmology during the period from September 2019 to September 2021 was carried out. The sample consisted of 44 patients, who were randomly divided into two study groups, 22 cases to the occlusion group and the same number to the atropine group, who met the inclusion criteria. The variables age, gender, refractive defect, best corrected visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and stereopsis were analyzed. Results: Hypermetropic astigmatism predominated in both study groups. Average initial best-corrected visual acuity in both groups was 0.4 LogMAR and improved to 0.1 LogMAR at the end of treatment. Average initial contrast sensitivity was 1.48 (±19.75) for the occlusion group and 1.47 (±20.5) for the atropine group, at completion reaching 1.59 (±10.1) and 1.57 (±10.0) in order of mention. Initial stereopsis was subnormal in both groups, at the end of treatment it was normal in 77.3 percent occlusion group and 68.2 percent atropine group. Conclusions: The effectiveness of treatment in patients with unilateral moderate refractive amblyopia with atropine is similar to that achieved with the application of ocular occlusion(AU)

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To describe the ocular features of a cohort of children with Down Syndrome (DS) in Bogotá, Colombia. METHODS: We performed a cross-sectional study, evaluating 67 children with DS. A pediatric ophthalmologist performed a complete optometric and ophthalmological evaluation of each child, including visual acuity, ocular alignment, external eye examination, biomicroscopy, auto-refractometry, retinoscope in cycloplegia, and fundus examination. Results were reported as frequency distribution tables with percentages for categorical variables and means and standard deviation or median and interquartile ranges for continuous variables, according to their distribution. We used the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and ANOVA or Kruskal-Wallis for continuous variables when indicated. RESULTS: A total of 134 eyes from 67 children were evaluated. Males represented 50.7%. The children's age ranged from 8-16 years, with a mean of 12.3 (SD 2.30). The most frequent refractive diagnosis per eye was hyperopia (47%), followed by myopia (32.1%) and mixed astigmatism (18.7%). The most frequent ocular manifestations were oblique fissure (89.6%), followed by amblyopia (54.5%) and lens opacity (39.4%). Female sex was associated with strabismus (P = 0.009) and amblyopia (P = 0.048). CONCLUSION: Our cohort had a high prevalence of disregarded ophthalmological manifestations. Some of these manifestations, such as amblyopia, can be irreversible and severely affect the neurodevelopment of DS children. Therefore, ophthalmologists and optometrists should be aware of the visual and ocular affection of children with DS to assess and provide appropriate management. This awareness could improve rehabilitation outcomes for these children.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To examine the astigmatism characteristics and surgical outcomes in patients with unilateral severe congenital ptosis following frontalis suspension surgery. METHODS: We included 53 congenital ptosis patients who underwent frontalis suspension surgery in Hunan Children's Hospital. Each patient underwent a refractive examination before and after surgery to assess astigmatism. We also evaluated the effects and complications associated with the procedure. RESULTS: Degree of astigmatism in ptotic and fellow eyes was - 1.45 ± 0.59 D and - 0.66 ± 0.51 D before surgery. Ratio of severe astigmatism in ptotic and fellow eyes was 51.3 and 12.8%. The fellow eyes presented with with-the-rule astigmatism (WR; 71.8%) and against-the-rule astigmatism (AR; 20.5%) types, with no cases of oblique astigmatism (OA). Ptotic eyes demonstrated higher frequencies of AR (59.0%) and OA (10.2%) than did fellow eyes. Furthermore, the former showed increased astigmatism, followed by a gradual decrease at the 6-month, before significantly decreasing at the 1-year postoperatively. The ratio of postoperative AR and OA astigmatism cases in ptotic eyes decreased to 35.9 and 7.7% 1 month postoperatively. However, there was a postoperative increase in the WR ratio from 30.8 to 56.4% after 1 month. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a success rate of 81.4% at 6 months and 62.9% at 12 months which was influenced by the following complications: suture reaction, epithelial keratopathy, infection and granuloma, lid lag, and recurrence. CONCLUSION: Monocular congenital ptosis could develop severe astigmatism and higher frequency of AR or OA, early surgery may ameliorate astigmatic amblyopia.

RESUMO

Objective: Prematurity often results in important developmental sequelae of brain structures, particularly those involved in processing visual information, such as the optic nerve, primary visual cortex and visuomotor integration areas. The aim of this study is to analyse the functionality of the sensory and motor pathways of the visual system by means of an orthoptic-ophthalmological assessment. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, 151 records were examined, covering a period from 2000 to 2020, of preterm patients with gestational age < 32 weeks and birth weight ≤ 1,500 g up to an average age of about 8 years, referred to the Centre for Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabology of the Ophthalmology Clinic of the Policlinico Umberto I, La Sapienza University of Rome, who underwent a complete ophthalmological and orthoptic assessment including the following tests measurement of ocular deviations according to the Hirschberg method, Lang I-II test, Titmus Stereotest, objective convergence assessment and ocular motility examination. Results: From the charts reviewed, 24.5% (37/151) of patients had Retinopathy of the Premature (ROP); while 38% of the whole sample (57/151) had strabismic amblyopia, of the latter only 31.5% (18/57) had ROP. In 8% of patients (12/151) the stereoscopic sense was absent, in 45% (8/151) stereopsis was gross (> 60 seconds of arc). In addition, 20.52 % (31/151) had a manifest eye deviation. 7.28% (11/151) had hypermetropia in the right eye (RE); 7.95% (12/151) hypermetropia in the left eye (OS); 3.31% of the patients (5/151) had myopia in the RE; 2% (3/151), myopia in the left eye (LE). In addition, the study of ocular motility revealed varying degrees of alteration poorly correlated with prematurity status. Conclusion: It was found that amblyopia, stereopsis and objective convergence are more affected by ROP than strabismus, refractive defects and ocular motility, indicating that premature children are particularly susceptible to ophthalmological and orthoptical alterations.

RESUMO

Background: Periorbital infantile hemangiomas (POIHs) are associated with a high incidence of visual complications. Objective(s): To analyze the sites of predilection of POIHs and to determine whether certain sites require earlier intervention due to their higher rate of visual complications. Methods: A retrospective case series study was conducted on patients from two tertiary care centers for 25 years. The location of POIHs was determined from clinical photographs, medical records, and radiological studies. The presence or absence of anisometropic astigmatism (anisoastigmatism) and amblyopia was recorded. Data were analyzed using a chi-square test. Results: There were 486 patients, of which 302 patients had ophthalmology evaluations and 245 patients had refractive error data. At presentation, 10% of patients already had amblyopia and 44% had anisoastigmatism. Medial eyelid lesions had the highest risk of developing anisoastigmatism (anisoastigmatism correlates with eyelid position, p = 0.0001). Segmental and upper medial lesions had the highest risk of amblyopia at initial evaluation. Conclusion: The site of POIH is an important indicator for developing clinically significant anisoastigmatism and amblyopia, underlining the need for early ophthalmologic assessment and management.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study comparatively analyzes the state of accommodation in children with hyperopic anisometropia and amblyopia after femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (Femto-LASIK) combined with pleoptic treatment, and after conventional pleoptic treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The first group consisted of 30 children with medium and high hyperopia, high and medium amblyopia, and anisometropia greater than 3.0 diopters, who underwent Femto-LASIK in the amblyopic eye. The second group consisted of 28 children with similar local status, who were prescribed traditional correction and received conservative treatment. The follow-up period was 1.5 years. RESULTS: After 1.5 years, higher visual acuity (p<0.05) was achieved in the first group. A significant increase in the coefficient of accommodative response (CAR) was observed in the operated amblyopic eyes in group 1 - by 0.1±0.02 c.u. compared to the control group (p<0.05). In both groups there was an upwards trend for the coefficient of microfluctuations (CMF) in the amblyopic eye, but in the first group CMF increased more significantly (p<0.05). The objective accommodative response (OAR) and positive relative accommodation (PRA) of the amblyopic eye showed a double increase - by 1.0±0.23 and 0.9±0.38 diopters, respectively, at the end of treatment in the first group. The increase in similar indicators in the second group was insignificant (p<0.05). In children of the first group the difference in ciliary muscle thickness (CMT) of the amblyopic eye with disabled and enabled accommodation increased by 0.04±0.01 mm (p<0.05) in the anterior part of the ciliary muscle at the levels of CMTmax and CMT1. CONCLUSION: The data obtained in this study indicate the strong effect of refractive laser surgery in combination with pleoptic treatment on improving the visual acuity and the state of accommodation of the amblyopic and paired dominant eyes in children with hyperopic anisometropia, in contrast to conventional methods of treatment.
