Purpose

To assess the driving performance and visual attention of amblyopic drivers using a driving simulator integrated with eye tracking technology in an urban setting.

Methods

A total of 30 participants were enrolled: 14 amblyopic patients (all anisometropic and one also with strabismus) and 16 controls. Participants completed a simulated urban driving task while their eye movements and driving performance were recorded using a DriveSafety DS-600c simulator integrated with an infrared eye tracker. Driving performance (speed, brake reaction time / deceleration at pedestrian crossings, lane position variability, steering variability) and eye movement parameters (fixations, gaze distribution, saccades) were compared between amblyopic and control participants. In addition, pooling data from both groups, we assessed for correlations between eye movement parameters and driving performance.

Results

Amblyopic and nonamblyopic drivers performed similarly on driving tasks and had comparable eye movement recordings. Some nonsignificant tendencies were noted among amblyopic drivers, including slower driving speeds, longer brake reaction times, and increased steering variability. We identified potential tendencies for correlations between eye tracking metrics and driving performance: increased fixation frequency was associated with greater lane position variability, and larger saccadic movements correlated with improved lane stability and faster hazard response; however, these correlations were not statistically significant.

Conclusions

In our study cohort, simulated driving performance and attention in subjects with anisometropic amblyopia under a standardized, relatively low-complexity urban scenario were similar to findings for nonamblyopic drivers, suggesting that amblyopia did not prevent safe driving in that context. Trends toward correlations between eye tracking and driving simulation parameters were observed, underscoring the potential of combining both approaches in future research in addition to testing a larger sample size, with a more challenging driving scenario.

目的：利用眼动追踪驾驶模拟器评估弱视驾驶员在城市环境下的驾驶表现和视觉注意力。方法：共纳入30名参与者：14名弱视患者（均为屈光参差，1名也有斜视）和16名对照组。参与者完成了一个模拟的城市驾驶任务，同时他们的眼球运动和驾驶表现被记录下来，使用drivessafety DS-600c模拟器集成了红外眼动仪。比较弱视受试者和对照组受试者的驾驶表现（速度、人行横道刹车反应时间/减速速度、车道位置变异性、转向变异性）和眼动参数（注视、凝视分布、扫视）。此外，我们汇集了两组的数据，评估了眼动参数与驾驶表现之间的相关性。结果：弱视司机和非弱视司机在驾驶任务中的表现相似，眼动记录也相似。弱视司机有一些不显著的倾向，包括驾驶速度变慢、刹车反应时间变长和转向变异性增加。我们发现了眼动追踪指标与驾驶表现之间的一些潜在相关性：注视频率增加与车道位置变异性增加有关，而较大的眼动运动与车道稳定性提高和更快的危险反应有关；然而，这些相关性在统计学上并不显著。结论：在我们的研究队列中，在标准化的、相对低复杂性的城市场景下，屈光参差性弱视受试者的模拟驾驶表现和注意力与非弱视驾驶员的结果相似，这表明弱视并不妨碍在这种情况下的安全驾驶。观察到眼动追踪和驾驶模拟参数之间的相关性趋势，强调了在未来的研究中结合这两种方法的潜力，除了测试更大的样本量，更具有挑战性的驾驶场景。

Purpose

To explore associations between sociodemographic determinants and whether children received an eye examination within the previous year in the United States.

Methods

Using data from the 2022 National Health Interview Survey, this population-based study included participants <18 years of age for whom data were available to determine whether they had received an eye examination within the previous year. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to explore associations between sociodemographic variables and caregiver-reported eye examinations.

Results

Of the 7,365 children included (mean age, 8.8 ± 6.3 years), 2,912 (39.5%) underwent an eye examination. In a multivariable model, children in all age groups older than 4 years (OR ranging from 4.16 to 6.91) and children of parents with a higher educational attainment (OR ranging from 1.44 to 1.52) were more likely to have had an eye examination compared with the youngest age group and lowest educational attainment group, respectively. Lack of health insurance coverage (OR = 0.58; 95% CI, 0.40-0.83; P = 0.003) and forgoing medical care due to cost (OR = 0.42; 95% CI, 0.21-0.87; P = 0.019) were both associated with lower odds of having had an eye examination. However, children living with a parent who was neither married nor living with a partner had higher odds of receiving an eye examination than those whose caregivers were married or living with a partner (OR = 1.27; 95% CI, 1.07-1.51; P = 0.006).

Conclusions

Having undergone a pediatric eye examination was associated with age, parental education, parental relationship status, insurance coverage, and the ability to afford medical care. Inequities prevail across the United States with respect to pediatric eye examination access, and ongoing public health initiatives are needed to proactively advocate for equitable access to eye care.

目的：探讨美国儿童在过去一年内是否接受过眼科检查与社会人口统计学决定因素之间的关系。结果：在纳入的7365名儿童（平均年龄8.8±6.3岁）中，2912名（39.5%）接受了眼科检查。在一个多变量模型中，4岁以上的所有年龄组的儿童（OR范围为4.16至6.91）和父母受教育程度较高的儿童（OR范围为1.44至1.52）分别比年龄最小的年龄组和受教育程度最低的年龄组更有可能进行眼科检查。缺乏健康保险（OR = 0.58; 95% CI, 0.40-0.83; P = 0.003）和因费用原因放弃医疗护理（OR = 0.42; 95% CI, 0.21-0.87; P = 0.019）都与进行眼科检查的几率较低相关。然而，与父母未婚或与伴侣同居的儿童相比，父母已婚或与伴侣同居的儿童接受眼科检查的几率更高（or = 1.27; 95% CI, 1.07-1.51; P = 0.006）。结论：接受儿童眼科检查与年龄、父母受教育程度、父母关系状况、保险覆盖范围和负担医疗费用的能力有关。在儿童眼科检查机会方面，美国各地普遍存在不公平现象，需要采取持续的公共卫生举措，积极倡导公平获得眼科护理。

Background

Early enucleation has been linked to infantile nystagmus, or a pattern resembling fusion maldevelopment nystagmus syndrome (FMNS). We evaluated nystagmus characteristics and risk factors in a large cohort of children treated for retinoblastoma (RB).

Methods

The medical records of children who underwent unilateral enucleation for RB between 2009 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. Nystagmus type—FMNS or infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS)—was determined clinically. Potential risk factors included age at presentation, age at enucleation, visual acuity, laterality, and genetic status.

Results

Of 149 children who underwent enucleation of one eye (114 with unilateral, 35 with bilateral RB), 13 (9%) developed nystagmus over a mean follow-up of 67 months. Twelve showed INS and 1 had probable FMNS. All affected children carried a pathogenic RB1 variant, compared with 25% of those without nystagmus (P < 0.0001). Nystagmus onset occurred at a mean age of 3.75 months and was linked to earlier RB diagnosis (mean, 4.7 vs 29 months [P < 0.0001]), earlier enucleation (P < 0.0001), and poorer visual acuity (P < 0.0001). Of 11 infants enucleated before 6 months (median, 3 months), only 2 (18%) developed nystagmus despite healthy fellow foveas, with one showing FMNS features.

Conclusions

In our study cohort, nystagmus occurred in a minority of children, predominantly at presentation rather than as a consequence of enucleation, and was strongly associated with RB1 mutation and early disease onset. These findings provide reassurance for families that unilateral enucleation in infancy rarely induces nystagmus when the fellow eye is healthy.

背景：早期眼球摘除与婴儿眼球震颤或类似于融合发育不良眼球震颤综合征（FMNS）的模式有关。我们评估了一大批接受视网膜母细胞瘤（RB）治疗的儿童的眼球震颤特征和危险因素。方法：回顾性分析2009 ~ 2021年收治的RB患儿单侧眼球摘除病例。临床上确定眼球震颤类型为fmns或婴儿眼球震颤综合征（INS）。潜在的危险因素包括发病年龄、去核年龄、视力、侧边性和遗传状况。结果：149例接受单眼眼球摘除术的儿童（114例单侧，35例双侧）中，13例（9%）在平均67个月的随访中发生眼球震颤。12例为INS， 1例可能为FMNS。所有受影响的儿童携带致病性RB1变异，而无眼球震颤的儿童携带致病性RB1变异的比例为25% （P < 0.0001）。眼球震颤发生的平均年龄为3.75个月，与早期RB诊断（平均4.7 vs 29个月[P < 0.0001]）、早期去核（P < 0.0001）和较差的视力（P < 0.0001）有关。在11名6个月前（中位数为3个月）的婴儿中，尽管有健康的中央窝，但只有2名（18%）发生了眼球震颤，其中1名表现出FMNS特征。结论：在我们的研究队列中，眼球震颤发生在少数儿童中，主要发生在发病时，而不是由于眼球摘取，并且与RB1突变和早期发病密切相关。这些发现为家庭提供了保证，婴儿单侧眼球摘除术很少引起眼震，当同伴的眼睛是健康的。

Background

Following hospital discharge, infants needing continued retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) examinations are vulnerable to being lost to follow-up. Social determinants of health (SDOH) may further impede access to outpatient follow-up. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of clinical, demographic, and socioeconomic factors with timely first outpatient ROP follow-up.

Methods

This retrospective study reviewed all infants examined for ROP inpatient between September 17, 2013, and December 31, 2023. We included only infants requiring continued outpatient ROP examination(s) at our institution. The primary outcome was “on-time” follow-up to the first outpatient visit, defined as returning within 3 days after the recommended follow-up date. Multivariable analysis was performed.

Results

Of 1,424 infants examined for ROP, 532 (37.4%) required outpatient ROP examination(s) (mean birth weight, 925 g; mean gestational age, 26.9 weeks, mean postmenstrual age at last inpatient examination, 41.5 weeks). Although 525 (98.7%) infants followed up outpatient, only 432 (81.2%) had “on-time” follow-up. On multivariable analysis, not following up on-time increased with recommended follow-up >14 days versus <7 days (OR = 3.9, P = 0.004), English-language preference (OR = 3.6, P = 0.04), no treatment before hospital discharge (OR = 2.4, P = 0.01), public (ie, Medicaid) versus private insurance (OR = 1.9, P = 0.02), and higher area deprivation index (OR = 1.1, P = 0.003).

Conclusions

Higher risk of delayed/missed first outpatient ROP follow-up was associated with less severe disease (ie, longer recommended follow-up intervals and no ROP treatment before discharge) and SDOH (ie, having public insurance and residence in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods). Elucidating clinical, demographic, and socioeconomic factors associated with outpatient ROP follow-up nonadherence may help inform targeted efforts for improvement.

背景：出院后，需要继续早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）检查的婴儿容易丢失随访。健康的社会决定因素（SDOH）可能进一步阻碍获得门诊随访。本研究的目的是评估临床、人口统计学和社会经济因素与及时的首次门诊ROP随访的关系。方法：本回顾性研究回顾了2013年9月17日至2023年12月31日住院检查的所有ROP患儿。我们只纳入了在我们机构需要持续门诊ROP检查的婴儿。主要结局是首次门诊的“准时”随访，定义为在推荐随访日期后3天内返回。进行多变量分析。结果：1424名接受ROP检查的婴儿中，532名（37.4%）需要门诊ROP检查（平均出生体重925 g，平均胎龄26.9周，最后一次住院检查的平均经后年龄41.5周）。尽管525名（98.7%）婴儿接受了门诊随访，但只有432名（81.2%）得到了“准时”随访。在多变量分析中，与建议随访14天相比，未按时随访的患者增加。结论：延迟/错过首次门诊ROP随访的风险较高，与疾病较轻（即建议随访时间较长，出院前未接受ROP治疗）和SDOH（即拥有公共保险和居住在社会经济条件较差的社区）相关。阐明与门诊ROP随访不依从性相关的临床、人口统计学和社会经济因素可能有助于告知有针对性的改善措施。

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection manifests with diverse clinical presentations. Primary EBV infection in children less than 6 years of age typically presents asymptomatically or with nonspecific upper respiratory symptoms. EBV-associated acute dacryocystitis is exceptionally rare. We report the case of a 6-year-old boy with EBV-induced nasolacrimal duct obstruction and secondary acute dacryocystitis successfully managed via endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy under general anesthesia.

eb病毒（EBV）感染具有多种临床表现。6岁以下儿童的原发性EBV感染通常表现为无症状或非特异性上呼吸道症状。ebv相关的急性泪囊炎极为罕见。我们报告一例6岁男孩，eb病毒引起的鼻泪管阻塞和继发性急性泪囊炎，在全身麻醉下通过内窥镜泪囊鼻腔造口术成功治疗。

A 16-year-old girl with major depressive disorder suffered from a recurrent polymicrobial conjunctivitis, culture-positive for Escherichia coli, that persisted over several months despite evaluation by multiple specialists and appropriate antibiotic treatment. Ultimately, a brown malodorous mass, concerning for possible fecal matter, was noted in the inferior fornix of the left eye and sent for pathology review. Pathology results of the mass revealed degenerated vegetable matter debris with associated bacterial colonies consistent with fecal matter. Discussions were held with the patient, her parents, and her primary care provider. The decision was made to involve psychiatry to ensure the self-harm behavior did not continue and further place the patient at risk of vision loss. This report emphasizes that ophthalmic issues can sometimes be manifestations of an underlying psychiatric condition, highlighting the importance of a multidisciplinary treatment approach.

一名16岁的女孩患有重度抑郁症，患有复发性多微生物结膜炎，大肠杆菌培养阳性，尽管经过多名专家的评估和适当的抗生素治疗，但仍持续了几个月。最终，在左眼下穹窿发现一棕色恶臭肿块，可能是粪便，并送去病理检查。肿块的病理结果显示退化的植物物质碎片，并伴有与粪便一致的细菌菌落。与患者、其父母和初级保健提供者进行了讨论。我们决定让精神科医生参与进来，以确保自残行为不会继续，并进一步使患者面临视力丧失的风险。本报告强调眼科问题有时可能是潜在精神疾病的表现，强调多学科治疗方法的重要性。

Purpose

To determine the level of minority representation at the 2024 annual meeting of the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS).

Methods

The abstract submissions process for the 2024 AAPOS annual meeting allowed self-reporting of authors’ status as underrepresented in medicine (URiM). The choice “decline to answer” (DTA) was available for all questions. The different groups’ submission outcomes (paper, poster, and workshop) were compared. URiM was defined as having one or more of the following identities: Black or African American; Hispanic or Latino; American Indian or Alaska Native; Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander; and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer.

Results

In research abstracts, 17% of all authors and 13.7% of presenting authors identified as URiM (16% and 17% chose DTA, resp.). There were no significant differences in the proportion of abstracts accepted as a paper or poster presentation between URiM and non-URiM authors (P > 0.7 for all comparisons). Female presenting authors were more likely to have an accepted abstract than males (81.6% vs 66.4% [P = 0.0015]). Subgroup analysis showed no differences between URiM and non-URiM in paper presentations. In workshop abstracts, 39.6% of panelists and 10.4% of organizers identified as URiM, respectively. There were no significant differences in workshop abstract acceptance rates between URiM and non-URiM presenting authors (P > 0.1 for all comparisons).

Conclusions

The current AAPOS approach toward meeting representation, which includes masked evaluation of abstracts for presentation, appears to be equitable toward URiM presenters.

目的：确定2024年美国儿童眼科和斜视协会（AAPOS）年会上少数族裔代表的水平。方法：2024年AAPOS年会的摘要提交过程允许作者自我报告医学未被充分代表（URiM）的状态。所有问题都可选择“拒绝回答”。比较不同组的提交结果（论文、海报和研讨会）。URiM被定义为具有以下一种或多种身份：黑人或非裔美国人；西班牙裔或拉丁裔；美洲印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民；夏威夷原住民或其他太平洋岛民；还有女同性恋，男同性恋，双性恋，变性人，或者酷儿。结果：在研究摘要中，17%的作者和13.7%的提交作者被确定为URiM（分别为16%和17%）。在URiM和非URiM作者之间，被接受为论文或海报展示的摘要比例没有显著差异（所有比较的P为0.7）。女性作者比男性作者更有可能获得被接受的摘要（81.6% vs 66.4% [P = 0.0015]）。亚组分析显示，在论文展示中，URiM和非URiM之间没有差异。在研讨会摘要中，分别有39.6%的小组成员和10.4%的组织者被确定为URiM。在研讨会摘要的接受率上，URiM和非URiM作者之间没有显著差异（所有比较的P为0.1）。结论：目前AAPOS对会议表示的方法，包括对演示摘要的隐式评估，似乎对URiM的演讲者是公平的。

In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS), we present the history and evolution of pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus training in the United States and Canada. Using historical records, AAPOS charter member interviews, and a program director survey, we present the timeline of key events and our training history. Pioneers in Canada and the United States established the first pediatric ophthalmology preceptorships. These preceptorships and the programs founded by their trainees evolved into modern fellowship programs. Pediatric ophthalmology was the first ophthalmic subspecialty, and its training programs, meetings, and journal became the model for ophthalmologic subspecialty education. This structure has produced hundreds of pediatric ophthalmologists, whose shared research and training have led to improved visual outcomes for children worldwide. Understanding this history is important for current and future pediatric ophthalmologists.

为了纪念美国儿童眼科和斜视协会（AAPOS）成立50周年，我们介绍了美国和加拿大儿童眼科和斜视培训的历史和发展。通过历史记录、AAPOS特许成员访谈和项目主管调查，我们呈现了关键事件的时间表和我们的培训历史。先驱者在加拿大和美国建立了第一个儿童眼科实习。这些学徒和他们的学员创立的项目发展成为现代的奖学金项目。儿童眼科学是第一个眼科亚专科，其培训项目、会议和期刊成为眼科亚专科教育的典范。这种结构培养了数百名儿童眼科医生，他们共同的研究和培训改善了世界各地儿童的视力。了解这一历史对当前和未来的儿童眼科医生都很重要。

Pulled-in-two syndrome (PITS) is a rare but serious complication of strabismus surgery, with a reported incidence of once every decade among strabismus surgeons. It occurs more commonly in patients of advanced age and those with cranial nerve palsies or who have undergone prior surgeries. We present a case of PITS in a young female, diagnosed following surgery with a hereditary myosin myopathy.

双拉综合征是斜视手术中一种罕见但严重的并发症，据报道每十年斜视手术中发生一次。它更常见于老年患者、脑神经麻痹患者或先前接受过手术的患者。我们提出了一个年轻女性的pit病例，在手术后诊断为一种新的遗传性肌球蛋白肌病。
