We report the case of a 7-year-old girl who, following prolonged screen exposure, developed acute comitant esotropia, which progressed within 1 month to a cyclical pattern. For 4 months the cycles followed a 48-hour pattern, afterward progressing to episodes of esotropia lasting for 2 to 3 days interspersed with a day of orthophoria, for another 2 months. Subsequently, the patient developed suppression and constant esotropia. Once the strabismus angles stabilized and remained reproducible, she underwent a 5.5 mm bilateral medial rectus recession. Postoperatively, she achieved orthophoria with restored binocularity and full stereopsis for both distance and near.

We report 3 siblings born to consanguineous parents who presented with visual loss secondary to bilateral optic atrophy, along with consistent systemic features, such as dysmorphic facies, sensorineural hearing loss, skeletal anomalies, and global developmental delay. Imaging revealed severe optic canal narrowing with associated nerve compression. Genetic analysis in the eldest sibling identified likely pathogenic heterozygous variants in both COL2A1 and COL11A2 genes, indicating a dual collagenopathy phenotype. This case series underscores the importance of considering blended genetic diagnoses in complex phenotypes and highlights the role of optic canal stenosis as a significant cause of vision loss in collagen-related skeletal dysplasias.

This study compares oral ultrawide-field fluorescein angiography (UWF-FA) to fundus photography in the detection of sickle cell retinopathy (SCR) and discusses the impact of genotype on SCR development. Thirty-two patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), 7-21 years of age, who underwent SCR screening with both imaging modalities were included. Four retina specialists masked to clinical information assessed SCR severity using the Goldberg classification system; their findings were compared to grades by an unmasked pediatric vitreoretinal specialist. In evaluating the UWF-FA images, the masked graders identified SCR in all 16 cases, as did the unmasked grader, but using fundus photographs they indicated the presence of SCR in only 75% of the same cases. SCR was more prevalent among HbSC (83%) and Hb-beta thalassemia trait (100%) patients compared with HbSS (38%).

We report the case of a 6-year-old boy with stable bilateral simple myopia who underwent strabismus surgery of the left eye for intermittent exotropia. One month following surgery, myopia had progressed to 2.5 D in the operated eye, increasing to 4.5 D by 1 year. Myopic progression was stabilized following treatment with low-dose atropine. The refractive error in the unoperated right eye showed mild increase. The mechanisms that may have precipitated postoperative progressive myopia in this case are discussed.

Purpose
To identify predictive factors for persistent avascular retina (PAR) following primary intravitreal ranibizumab (IVR) monotherapy in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Methods
The medical records of 69 infants (128 eyes) with type 1 or aggressive ROP treated with IVR at a single center between July 2019 and March 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. Retinal vascular outgrowth speed (RVOS) was quantitatively assessed 2 months after IVR. Clinical parameters were evaluated, including birth weight, gestational age, cumulative clock hours of ROP lesions (ROP CCH), postmenstrual age (PMA) at IVR, ROP severity, and postnatal age (PNA) at IVR. Significant predictors from univariate analysis were incorporated into a multivariable logistic regression model presented as a nomogram.
Results
The mean RVOS was 0.9 ± 0.6 disk diameters (DD)/month at 2 months post-IVR, with significantly faster vascular outgrowth in treated eyes compared to untreated fellow eyes (P < 0.05). Complete retinal vascularization was achieved in 69 eyes (53.9%) by 64 weeks PMA (±2 week), whereas PAR persisted in 59 eyes (46.1%). Multivariable analysis revealed four independent PAR predictors: slower RVOS (OR = 0.024 for faster RVOS), larger ROP CCH (OR = 2.263), later PNA at IVR (OR = 1.041), and advanced ROP severity (OR = 31.67). The developed nomogram showed excellent discrimination (AUC = 0.948) and calibration (P = 0.055).
Conclusions
Slower RVOS, advanced ROP severity, larger ROP CCH, and later PNA at IVR were independent PAR predictors. The nomogram reliably stratified risk for post-IVR management.

To compare the incidence, timing, and visual outcomes of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) following pediatric cataract surgery comprising either posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis without anterior vitrectomy (PCCC−) or pars plana posterior capsulectomy with anterior vitrectomy (PPPC+).
Methods
The medical records of pediatric patients undergoing surgery for congenital cataract at a single tertiary care facility from January 2013 to December 2022 were reviewed retrospectively. All eyes underwent primary intraocular lens implantation at the time of cataract surgery. A total of 643 eyes underwent PCCC− and 628 underwent PPPC+. Outcomes included PCO incidence, age at diagnosis, time to development, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
Results
PCO incidence was significantly higher in the PCCC− group than in the PPPC+ group (144 [22.4%] vs 62 [9.9%] P < 0.001). Patients who developed PCO underwent initial cataract surgery at a mean age of 2.73 ± 2.04 years in the PCCC− group and 2.03 ± 1.63 years the PPPC+ group (P = 0.02). Age at PCO diagnosis was 3.87 ± 1.92 years in the PCCC− group and 5.28 ± 2.83 years in the PPPC+ group (P = 0.001). Time to PCO development was 1.84 ± 1.13 years in the PCCC− group and 2.56 ± 1.56 years in the PPPC+ group (P = 0.003). Of the 206 patients who developed PCO, 121 patients (58.7%) were cooperative for optotype testing. Preoperative BCVA was similar between groups (1.72 ± 0.59 and 1.68 ± 0.46 logMAR for PPPC− and PCCC+, resp. [P = 0.865]); postoperative BCVA improved significantly within each group (P < 0.001), with no intergroup difference (0.88 ± 0.40 and 0.93 ± 0.46 logMAR for PPPC− and PCCC+, resp. [P = 0.612]). The other 85 noncooperative children (41.3%) showed postoperative improvement in ability to fix and follow objects in both the PCCC− group and the PPPC+ group (9.6% to 92.3% and 6.1% to 90.9% [both P < 0.001]).
Conclusions
Combined capsulectomy and anterior vitrectomy markedly reduces and delays PCO compared to PCCC alone, with equivalent visual gains.
