Bland-Altman plots were used to assess agreement between devices for biometric parameters including axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), and central corneal thickness (CCT).Results: AL measurements were successful in 82 eyes (82.0%) with Revo NX, in 91 eyes (91.0%) with Lenstar LS 900, and in 97 eyes (97.0%) with IOLMaster 700. When Revo NX was compared to IOL Master 700 and Lenstar LS 900, the mean differences were as follows: -0.02 ± 0.02 mm and -0.02 ± 0.03 mm (P = 0.313, P = 0.525) for AL, 0.01 ± 0.03 mm and 0.10 ± 0.03 mm (P = 0.691, P = 0.002) for ACD, -0.15 ± 0.03 mm and 0.001 ± 0.04 mm (P < 0.001, P = 0.95) for LT, and -2.29 ± 0.92 μm, and 0.73 ± 1.43 μm (P = 0.015, P = 0.612) for CCT.

The treatment included touching the medial rectus and its interrelated fascial tissue with the index finger pulp from over the eyelid for at least 300 s and applying very gentle and uniform pressure. We evaluated the saccadic velocity obtained from dynamic electrooculography (EOG) and the angle of deviation. The findings of dynamic EOG were used as a reliable quantitative method to assess eye movement function.Results: The amount of esodeviation decreased significantly at both far 2.39Δ, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.27-3.52) (P = 0.002) and near 5.57Δ, 95% CI (4.67-6.47) (P = 0.001) after two sessions of EOMR in a week. There was no significant difference in saccadic velocities before and after treatment.Conclusion: In the short term, the EOMR only affects the static condition of the eye. Therefore, a significant improvement could be seen in the deviometric findings. However, the dynamic properties of the extraocular muscles did not improve and probably needed a more extended treatment period for acting the long-term mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":15423,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Current Ophthalmology","volume":"35 2","pages":"190-194"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10795812/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139512415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different conjunctival approaches have been introduced, such as Cul-de-sac and minimally invasive strabismus surgery incisions. Furthermore, there are different techniques for extraocular muscle weakening, strengthening, and transposition, such as mini-tenotomy, plication, mini-plication, Nishida, and modified Nishida procedures. Moreover, there are some techniques for handling strabismus in heavy eyes with high myopia and using adjustable sutures for strabismus correction.Conclusions: Minimally invasive procedures in strabismus surgery consist of surgical procedures that minimize tissue disruption, speed up rehabilitation, and often ultimate better outcomes.

All subjects underwent complete ophthalmic examination and corneal densitometry module of Pentacam HR, before and 1, 3, and 6 months after DSAEK.Results: Thirteen patients were excluded due to postoperative complications or missed to follow-up visits. Finally, twenty-one patients' data were analyzed. Corneal densitometry measures significantly decreased in all three layers (anterior, central, and posterior) 3 and 6 months after surgery compared to preoperative values; however, the differences did not reach statistical significance in the 1st month. Moreover, densitometry measurements were significantly lower at month 6 compared to month 1, but not at month 3 compared to month 1. Corneal densitometry of the anterior layer was significantly higher than central and posterior layers in 2 mm and 6 mm zones preoperatively and at all postoperative visits. Corneal light backscatter of each three layers was not statistically different between 0-2 mm and 2-6 mm in all pre- and postoperative visits.Conclusions: Corneal densitometry in cases of PBK begins to improve after DSAEK in different layers in a slow and continued trend which takes up to 6 months for an effect to be seen. Interestingly, this improvement is possible even in complicated corneas with long-standing edema. Hence, corneal densitometry can be used as an objective method for quantification of the outcome of DSAEK in complicated cases of PBK.","PeriodicalId":15423,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Current Ophthalmology","volume":"35 2","pages":"159-164"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10795814/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139512416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A literature review was conducted in PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases using keywords: angle-closure glaucoma, glaucoma, nonpupillary block glaucoma, plateau iris, and plateau iris management.Results: This review defined the current knowledge about plateau iris. First of all, the anatomy and epidemiology were discussed. Then, we outlined the available evidence on the diagnosis of plateau iris and its differential diagnosis. Conclusively, the treatment options were mentioned.Conclusions: Plateau iris is a condition in which nonpupillary block mechanisms are responsible for intraocular pressure elevation and angle closure attack when a patent peripheral iridotomy has removed the relative pupillary block. An anteriorly positioned ciliary body causes mechanical obstruction of trabecular meshwork in these patients. It is usually seen in younger patients with angle closure and is diagnosed by gonioscopic examination and imaging modalities such as Ultrasound biomicroscopy. Despite the known mechanism of plateau iris, there is no consensus over treatment. Low-dose pilocarpine and Argon laser peripheral iridoplasty are nonsurgical treatments for these patients, but their effects are short-term. Cataract extraction with/without endocyclophotocoagulation (ECP), endocycloplasty, excisional goniotomy, and transscleral cyclophotocoagulation are alternative treatments. Patients should be examined periodically for further progression or recurrence of plateau iris. In cases of glaucoma unresponsive to conventional medical treatments, surgical treatments such as trabeculectomy and drainage devices should be considered.","PeriodicalId":15423,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Current Ophthalmology","volume":"35 1","pages":"11-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/de/07/JCO-35-11.PMC10481971.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10180022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
