OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) and refractive errors after adjusting for age, central corneal thickness (CCT), and other related factors. METHODS IOP, CCT and refractive errors were measured in the right eyes of 1855 subjects, aged 40-82 years, in a

Background: The last visual survey of older adults in Hong Kong was a district-level study in 2002, with no assessment of behavioral and medical risk factors for visual impairment (VI). Our objectives were to determine the latest VI

Anterior cervical hypertrichosis or hairy throat is a rare dysmorphic sign described in a total of 19 patients so far. The association with a number of additional features has been reported, including mental retardation. We report on another patient with this condition who also had moderate mental

OBJECTIVE We have noted a phenotype of early-onset retinal dystrophy with macular staphyloma but without high myopia. The aim of this study is to report the underlying genetic mutations and the subcellular localisation of the gene product in the retina. METHODS Retrospective case series (2012-2015);

The ocular and systemic abnormalities in a boy with ring chromosome 11 [46, XY/46, XY, r(11) (p 15.5----q25] are described. The ocular anomalies consisted of bilateral hypermetropia, microcornea, anterior chamber cleavage syndrome with prominent Wölfflin nodes, and cartwheel configuration of the

Using retinoscopy, we measured the refractive state of 96 eyes of three different strains of rats: albino Sprague-Dawley, Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) with and without inherited retinal dystrophy, and lean and obese varieties of Zucker rats. Contrary to previous reports, we do not find consistent

Purpose: We present 3 cases of Alström syndrome (ALMS) that highlight the importance of the ophthalmic exam, as well as the diagnostic challenges and management considerations of this ultra-rare disease.
