Purpose: To investigate the usefulness of atropine (Isopto 1% eye drops®; Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA) for cycloplegic refraction in patients with partially accommodative esotropia.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed medical records esotropia who underwent using both cyclopentolate and at Pusan National University Hospital between November 2017 December 2020. Patients replaced their glasses aft...

PURPOSE To study the relationship between exophthalmometric value (EV) and refractive error in Cameroonian young adults. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective descriptive study was carried out in the ophthalmic unit of the Yaoundé Central Hospital from March to May 2015. Consenting patients aged 20-40 years with no intraocular pathology who were seen for refractive errors were included. Ocular p...

PURPOSE To demonstrate a progressive approach to the problems of intraoperative floppy-iris syndrome (IFIS) in cataract surgery caused by tamsulosin. SETTING Cataract Treatment Center, Sunderland Eye Infirmary, Sunderland, United Kingdom. METHODS Thirty-two eyes of 20 patients who were using tamsulosin had cataract surgery by the same surgeon using the same technique. Patients received stan...

PURPOSE We explored risk factors for myopia in 12- to 13-year-old children in Northern Ireland (NI). METHODS Stratified random sampling was performed to obtain representation of schools and children. Cycloplegia was achieved using cyclopentolate hydrochloride 1%. Distance autorefraction was measured using the Shin-Nippon SRW-5000 device. Height and weight were measured. Parents and children c...

To determine the safety and efficacy of three different mydriatic regimens in premature infants referred for retinopathy prematurity (ROP) screening using (1) multiple alternate instillations 0.5% cyclopentolate hydrochloride 2.5% phenylephrine (MAI), (2) single instillation 0.5%/0.5% tropicamide + (SI) (3) with a cotton wick placed inferior fornix (SIW) Philippine tertiary hospital...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated the distribution pattern of refractive status and prevalence of refractive errors in school-age children in Western China to determine the possible environmental factors. METHODS A random sampling strategy in geographically defined clusters was used to identify children aged 6-15 years in Yongchuan, a socio-economically representative area in Western China. W...
