Blindness happened when the patient suddenly rose from a sitting position to standing. The patient immediately lay flat on his back and began to digitally massage the closed eye. By closing his normal seeing right eye, he noticed with the left blind one a nearly complete black visual field that was interrupted by many light oval spaces resembling a rosette which rapidly flickered continuously and rhythmically. Within seconds, and after intense ocular massage, his cleary visible peripheral visual field returned and during those seconds, he noticed that the black central visual field (with an unchanged rosette formation) was smaller than before. After another brief but intense ocular massage, the black visual field center disappeared completely. The left eye had recovered its normal vision, which persisted.","PeriodicalId":33073,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology and Research","volume":"176 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135060221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: The medical records of consecutive patients 4–30 years of age diagnosed with intermittent exotropia at our institution between January 2000 and December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed for amblyopia. Results: A total of 2,058 patients diagnosed with intermittent exotropia during the study met the inclusion criteria. Of these patients, 40 (2%) had amblyopia and were the participants of this study. The mean patient age was 10.6 ± 4.2 years. Amblyopia was anisometropic in 35 (87%) patients and strabismic in 5 (13%) patients. Of the 35 patients with anisometropic amblyopia, 29 (83%) had spherical anisometropia and 6 (17%) had astigmatic anisometropia. There was no statistically significant difference in the number of patients and the mean anisometropia between patients with spherical anisomyopic and anisohyperopic amblyopia, and also between those with astigmatic anisomyopic and anisohyperopic amblyopia. There was no relation between the type of intermittent exotropia and anisometropic amblyopia. None of the patients with strabismic amblyopia had spherical or astigmatic anisometropia but had a preference for fixation with the nonamblyopic eye. There was no statistically significant difference in near and distance deviations between patients with anisometropic and strabismic amblyopia, and between those with anisomyopic and anisohyperopic amblyopia. Conclusions: Amblyopia was observed in 2% of our patients with intermittent exotropia. It was spherical anisometropic in a large majority of patients and strabismic in a few.","PeriodicalId":33073,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology and Research","volume":"11 1","pages":"36 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46229915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: This was a prospective cohort study to develop scoring system to predict visual outcome in case of cataracts with comorbidities. We enrolled all cataracts with comorbidities fulfilling inclusion criteria between August 2019 and 2020. For all enrolled cases, data were collected in pretested online format in electronic medical records. A specially designed form was used to calculate preoperative score which was categorized and compared with postoperative visual outcome. All data were exported and analyzed with SPSS 22 using descriptive, cross-tabulation, and one-sample test functions. Results: Our cohort consisted of 230 eyes of 230 patients with a mean age of 44 ± 21.22 years with 121/230 (52.6%) females and 109/230 (47.4%) males. Out of total 230 eyes Traumatic cataracts were in 64, cataract with corneal opacity in 45, postuveitic cataract in 43, neglected cataracts in 39 eyes. We found a significant difference in pre- and postoperative visual outcome. When we studied preoperative score, we found a significant difference between outcomes. Conclusion: Preoperative score for cataracts with comorbidities undergoing small-incision cataract surgery SICS is a very useful tool to predict visual outcome and universalize for comparison.","PeriodicalId":33073,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Clinical Ophthalmology and Research","volume":"11 1","pages":"21 - 25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47878633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
