Early diagnosis, intensive drug therapy, and timely surgical intervention are all associated with the improved prognosis of paediatric microbial keratitis.

Using adjunctive corticosteroid therapy is safe on bacterial corneal ulcers and does not alter best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA)Using adjunctive corticosteroid therapy is safe on bacterial corneal ulcers and does not alter best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA).

Advanced topography-guided LASEK is able to improve uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA).

Using two-quadrant sub-Tenon's anaesthesia is more effective at reducing intraoperative and postoperative pain than a single-quadrant technique.

Primary peeling of the internal limiting membrane (ILM) successfully prevents the development of macula pucker and the full removal of all epiretinal membranes.

Refractive correction and patching improves visual acuity in amblyopic eyes.

Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is effective in reducing the severity of infectious keratitis caused by Fusarium solani.

Both static and repeated accommodation significantly reduce intraocular pressure (IOP).

According to a study in the Archives of Ophthalmology visual recovery of unilateral acute idiopathic maculopathy is linked with structural changes, suggesting that inflammation of the inner choroid, retinal pigment epithelium and partially reversible outer photoreceptor complex are involved in the cause of the disease.

Spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) produces deeper and higher resolution images of choroidal osteoma than time domain-OCT.
