PURPOSE: To evaluate the frequency of different types of ocular deviations in patients referred to the strabismus sector at the Hospital do Servidor Publico Estadual de Sao Paulo - Brazil. METHODS: A retrospective study of 935 records of patients examined at the strabismus sector in 2005 was conducted to evaluate sex, age and types of misalignments in the primary position. Statistical analysis was applied to these data. RESULTS: Esotropia was the most prevalent misalignment in this population (44.52%). There were more males in this group (p=0.001) with a predominance of the age group 0-2 years (p=0.009). Exotropia (12.25%) was more frequent in females (p=0.046) in the age group 46 years and over (p=0.001). CONCLUSION: Esodeviations were more frequent than exodeviations. Esotropia was more prevalent in males early in life, while exotropia was more frequent in older females. The larger number of exophorias was found in the age group 16-20 years.

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide in patients with diffuse diabetic macular edema on the visual acuity and intraocular pressure. To report the potential adverse events and to analyze the potential relationship between age and visual acuity and intraocular pressure variability. METHODS This clinical controlled study included 14 patients (28 eyes), 14 of the eyes received an intravitreal injection of 4 mg triamcinolone acetonide for the treatment of diabetic macular edema. The study group was compared to a control group of 14 eyes, without diabetic macular edema. The follow-up period was of 3 months. RESULTS Pressure spikes >21 mmHg occurred in 28.7% of eyes, with a significant difference of intraocular pressure between the study group and the control group in the first week after treatment. Visual acuity showed a significant improvement when compared with the control group since the second day after the treatment. There was no association between age and variability of visual acuity and intraocular pressure. CONCLUSION Intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide showed to be effective for improving visual acuity in patients with diabetic macular edema, in the first three months of treatment. The incidence of intraocular hypertension was 28.7%, easily manageable.

Editor, W e read with great interest the article entitled ‘German Diabetes Study-Baseline data of retinal layer thickness measured by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in early diabetes mellitus’ by Schr€ oder et al. (2018) The authors analysed whether the retinal layer thickness alteration is present in the early time course of diabetes mellitus (DM). Retinal layer thickness in the nasal pericentral segment wasmeasured by SD-OCT. They found that the retinal layer thickness in the nasal pericentral fundus in DM patients with a known disease duration of less than 1 year, did not reveal any significant difference compared to those of healthy controls. We congratulate the authors for their study. However, we have some comments with regard to this publication. First, although, they did not find significant change in one quadrant, it does not mean that the other quadrants are similar between the diabetic and the control subjects. Because the previous studies have shown that the retinal thinning varies in different quadrants. (S ahin et al. 2018) Besides, the papillomacular bundle is not consist of only nasal region of the pericentral fovea, but also includes paracentral fovea. In this context, it is hard to conclude that neurodegeneration does not cause detectable retinal layer thickness change in early DM. Secondly, several local and some systemic conditions have been reported to affect the macular thickness (MT) and retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) (Szigeti et al. 2015). Macular thickness (MT) and RNFL may differ according to axial length (Szigeti et al. 2015). In addition, the presence of hypertension, hyperlipidemia and some medications also cause alterations in MT and RNFL (Kong et al. 2015). Including the abovementioned systemic factors and the axial length or spherical equivalent might strengthen the study results. Thirdly, to evaluate the RNFL and ganglion cell layer difference, between diabetics and healthy controls, it is also important to compare the intraocular pressure, and the central corneal thickness, regardless of the presence of the patients with glaucoma or early suspect of glaucoma subjects (Henderson et al. 2005). We hope that our comments will contribute to improvement in the future research on diabetic neurodegeneration.

Objective: To determine the mean drop volume produced by artificial tear solutions in different inclination angles and to determine the mean cost of the treatment. Methods: The drop volume of 3 original bottles of the artificial tear solutions Artelac®, Hylo Comod®, Lacrima® Plus, Systane® UL, Lacrifilm®, Hyabak®, Lacribell®, Ecofilm®, Mirugell®, Plenigell®, Fresh Tears®, Optive® and Endura® were determined at the inclination of 90o and 45o. The mean number of drops in each bottle was determined and a pharmacoeconomic evaluation of the drops was made. Results: The drop volume ranged from 32.2 to 64.0 µL at 45o and from 29.1 to 65.1 µL at 90o. The difference between drops in each inclination varied from 2 to 24%. The annual cost was from R

130,73 according to the inclination of the bottle. The Maximum Duration of Treatment (MDT) was from 29.3 to 51.4 days at 45o and from 28.8 to 48.4 days at 90o, being the difference in MDT from 0.5 to 8 more or less days depending on each brand. Conclusion: None of the collyria studied presented ideal drops for human eyes, leading to a waste of the product and higher cost for the manufacturer and the consumer. We noted that there is a significant variation in the drop volume according to the inclination of the bottle, and that a variation of over 10% would bring financial impact for the patient.

Purpose: To develop a methodology to evaluate ocular torsion reflex. Methods: Modifications of a Helmholtz keratometer were made in order to perform keratometry in the primary position and during head tilt (30 degrees to the right, 30 degrees to the left). A total of 16 patients (32 eyes) were examined. There was a mean astigmatism of 0.50 to 3.50 (mean 1.18 ± 0.61). Results: The mean recorded intortions (right eye 5.31 ± 4.23, left eye 5.22 ± 3.91) were slightly lower than the extortions (right eye 7.84 ± 4.79, left eye 7.78 ± 4.09) with no significant difference between both eyes. Conclusions: The modified Helmholtz keratometer allows new and simple method to quantify ocular counterrolling.

Introduction: Accommodative convergence (AC) is the convergence induced by a determined amount of accommodation (A). Besides the many techniques described to correct esotropias, great distance/near incomitance is still a challenge in avoiding secondary exotropias and esotropias. Objective: To compare the surgical results obtained with double medial rectus recession and its relationship to distance/near incomitance and high hyperopias. Methods: 33 patients with esotropia and distance/near incomitance who where submitted to double medial rectus recession at Santa Casa de Sao Paulo, between 1980 and 1990 were retrospectively analyzed. There were two groups: those with more than 3.50 D of hyperopias (Group I) and those with less than 3.50 D (Group II). Results: Group I had a mean of 18.18 PD correction (72.72% of correction) for distance and 27.64 PD (63.36%) for near. Group II had a mean of 20.20 PD correction for distance (87.83%) and 34.60 PD (82.78%) for near. Conclusion: There was no statistical difference regarding the amount of distance/near incomitance reduction, between Groups I and II. The total amount of correction was greater for near but, in percentage, it was similar.
