On behalf of the Scientific Program Committee of the inaugural APSPOS Congress, it is my honor and pleasure to welcome you to Hong Kong.

The inaugural APSPOS Congress is fortunate to have the Chinese University of Hong Kong as a co-organizer, along with the support of several prominent international organizations: American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS); Chinese Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (CAPOS); European Strabismological Association (ESA); Hong Kong Orthoptic Association; Hong Kong Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Group (HKPOSG); International Orthoptic Association (IOA); International Strabismological Association (ISA); International Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Council (IPOSC); and World Society of Paediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (WSPOS).

Furthermore, the Scientific Program Committee is pleased to welcome more than 70 internationally recognized speakers presenting the latest updates in the paediatric and strabismus subspecialty. We also have more than 50 abstracts submitted from 18 countries. We hope that this exciting scientific program will provide delegates with a platform for knowledge exchange, which will benefit their practices back home.

In both the scientific and social program, the inaugural APSPOS Congress offers excellent opportunities to network and collaborate. With delegates from the Asia-Pacific region and beyond, I hope that you will make many new friends and establish collaborations for the future.

Finally, I hope you have the opportunity to visit some of the many attractions in Hong Kong, sample our world-famous cuisine, and enjoy your stay in Asia’s World City.

This prestigious APSPOS Award recognises distinguished paediatric ophthalmologists from the Asia-Pacific region who have made significant lifetime contributions to the development of children’s eye care and services in the Asia-Pacific region.

Professor Kanxing Zhao (China)Kanxing Zhao graduated from Tianjin Medical University in 1970 and obtained his PhD from Beijing University of Medical Science in 1989. He has been engaged in ophthalmological clinical, teaching, and scientific research for 47 years. He studied and was trained firstly under Prof. Yushi He, who was the pioneer of strabismology in China, and then under Prof. Jiaqi Liu, who was the founder of pediatric ophthalmology in China.

During his professional career, he has made substantial contributions to the development of ophthalmology, pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, and higher education in ophthalmology in China. Moreover, he devotes himself to creating cooperation and exchange with the International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO), Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology (APAO), American Academy of Ophthalmology, American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, and other international organizations of ophthalmology. He is a member of Academia Ophthalmologica Internationalis, a past trustee of the ICO, a council member of APAO, vice president of the Asia-Pacific Strabismus and Paediatric Ophthalmology Society, and a member of the International Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus Council as well as its advisory committee. He is the immediate past president of the Chinese Ophthalmological Society (COS) and president of the Chinese Ophthalmologist Association. He is also the immediate past chief editor of the Chinese Journal of Ophthalmology and the associate chief editor of the Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology. He is president of the Chinese Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus. He is the past vice president of Tianjin Medical University and head of the graduate school of Tianjin Medical University. He is also the immediate past director of Tianjin Eye Hospital and the founder and director of Tianjin Eye Institute and Tianjin Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology and Visual Science.

Over the past decades, his research areas have included strabismus, pediatric ophthalmology, and ophthalmic genetics. Prof. Zhao has found that the diagnosis of amblyopia in children displaced the diagnostic criteria for adults and established the lower limits of normal vision during the period from ages 3-7 in China. He has introduced, spread, and innovated many surgical techniques for complicated strabismus and promoted microsurgical techniques for strabismus in China. He has trained more than 100 postgraduate students, including 52 doctoral students, and more than 1000 fellows in mainland China. He has published more than 400 papers including 63 SCI papers. He is the chief editor of Ophthalmology (7th and 8th editions) and the chief editor of Strabismus and Amblyopia (1st and 2nd editions).

He was awarded the Tianjin Natural and Scientific Award 2nd Level and the Tianjin Scientific and Technological Advancement Award 1st Level 3 times. He has received the APAO ICO Mark Tso Golden Apple Award, COS Award for Outstanding Achievement, Golden Key Award and Golden Apple Award from the Chinese American Ophthalmology Society, APAO Distinguished Service Award, and COS Life Achievement Honor Award.

She has collaborated with a pediatric ophthalmologist in Brazil studying the ocular effect of misoprostol, a teratogenic drug that if taken in a certain period during pregnancy may cause Möbius syndrome. More recently, her interest has been with the Zika epidemic in Brazil.

She has longstanding participation in international ophthalmology including in Nigeria, India, Asia, and several South American countries. Dr. Miller was recognized for her many contributions to international service with the Humanitarian Award from the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) and more recently, the AAO International Blindness Prevention Award. She received the Howe Medal from the American Ophthalmological Society (AOS) for distinguished service to ophthalmology. She was also on the AOS Council and served as president of the organization.

Dr. Miller has visited an eye clinic in rural Abak, Nigeria for over 25 years with a small nongovernmental organization, FOCUS, Inc. Originally, the visits were focused on treating patients, but now the role has changed to a more educational area. Dr. Miller recently received a named lectureship from the Ophthalmological Society of Nigeria.

Additionally, she has served on advisory boards including the Advisory Committee of the World Health Organization, the Smith Kettlewell Eye Research Institute, the Bernadotte Foundation, the AAO, and the AAO Foundation. She also served as the AAO representative to the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness.

Dr. Miller is a charter member of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) and had the honor of serving AAPOS as president, a member of the board, and chair of the International Affairs Committee. She was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Honor Award and the Marshal Park Bronze and Silver Medal from AAPOS and has given both the Costenbader and Scobee Lectures. She recently gave the AAPOS Apt Lecture and the Fralick Lecture at the University of Michigan Department of Ophthalmology, both on teratogen and the Zika virus.

She has been involved with many activities in the Asia-Pacific region including participating in educational programs at Aravind Hospital in Madurai, for which she received the Venketaswamy Oration Award and the Jose Rizal International Medal from the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology. For her work in a collaborative program between AAPOS and Tianjin Eye Hospital in China, she received the 2012 International Gold Award from the Chinese Ophthalmological Society.

Dr. Miller’s current area of interest is in training and education internationally in pediatric ophthalmology, strabismus, and teratology.

Paediatric Ophthalmology – Expect the Unexpected: The ROSAH syndromeOctober 11, 201710:30 - 10:45Main Lecture Hall

Paediatric ophthalmology is a horizontal specialty. The paediatric ophthalmologist has to have a very good understanding of all the subspecialities in ophthalmology. The patient often is unable to give the history of the visual problems. This presents a challenge as the paediatric ophthalmologist has to rely on the parent or carer for the history. This history may be misleading.

ROSAH syndrome is a newly described genetic disorder characterised by Retinal oedema, Optic nerve oedema, Splenomegaly, Anhidrosis, and Headaches (migraine).

This lecture will outline how a family who were thought to have retinitis pigmentosa were ultimately diagnosed with what is now known as ROSAH syndrome.

ESA Symposium: Strabismus

The European Strabismological Association started as an informal meeting of strabismologists in 1962. It is a nonprofit professional association of strabismologists and orthoptists from all across Europe and beyond. Our main aims are “to disseminate knowledge of all sensory and motor aspects of strabismus and other disorders of ocular motility” and “to foster clinical and experimental research.” Incomitant strabismus presents a particular challenge to strabismus surgeons, with the need not only to align the eyes in the primary position, but also to give as large a field of binocular single vision as possible. This symposium will concentrate on the orthoptic assessment of such patients and surgical techniques to address these problems.

Young Investigator Symposium

The young investigator symposium covers a wide range of interesting topics from refractive error in preschool children, paediatric keratoplasty, strabismus, and paediatric retinal diseases to paediatric optic neuropathies, presented by young investigators from the Asia-Pacific region. This symposium also aims to provide and generate more insightful research ideas for the growth and development of the paediatric and strabismus subspecialty within the region.

IOA-HKOA Symposium: The Ins and Outs of Intermittent Exotropia

In this symposium we are discussing intermittent exotropia, a form of strabismus in which one or both of the eyes turn outwards from time to time and at other times the eyes are straight. Participants in this symposium will discuss the challenges of intermittent exotropia evaluation, its management, and the impact this eye misalignment has on patients’ lives. Intermittent exotropia is neither straightforward nor fully understood but we hope this symposium will enhance understanding of this prevalent condition.

IPOSC Symposium: Retinopathy of Prematurity

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading and preventable cause of childhood visual impairment worldwide in both developing and developed countries. The incidence of ROP is on the rise due to improved survival rate of low birth weight infants in emerging economies. This symposium attempts to highlight current challenges and identify potentials for improvement in ROP care in the Asia-Pacific region. Five high-caliber speakers will provide attendees with valuable updates on the current knowledge of ROP management, from the perspective of neonatology to ophthalmology, including ROP screening, ROP telemedicine, the use of anti-VEGF, and vitreoretinal surgery in advanced ROP.

Anterior J Transposition of the Inferior Oblique Muscle in Dissociated Vertical DeviationFirst Author: Lola BABADJANOVACo-Author(s): Ziyavuddin ISLAMOV, Durdona KALANKHODJAEVA, Murodjon MAVLYANOVPurpose: To investigate the effectiveness of anterior J transposition of the inferior oblique (IO) muscle in dissociated vertical deviation (DVD).

Methods: Forty consecutive patients (40 eyes) with unilateral DVD were operated on. Strobological exam-ination identified that 80% (32 eyes) had torticollis-re-lated eye problems, 91% (37 eyes) had positive Biel-schowsky test, 88% (35 eyes) had IO overaction of 3-4 degrees, 80% (32 eyes) had vertical deviation up to 25 prism diopters (PD), and 20% (8 eyes) had more than 25 PD of vertical deviation. All of them were surgically corrected by anterior J transposition of the inferior oblique muscle.

Results: The criterion of effectiveness was the decrease or disappearance of hypertrophy in the primary posi-tion of eye and in adduction. The vertical deviation at the primary position of the eye was 100% eliminated and in adduction position was eliminated 90%.

Conclusions: J transposition of the IO muscle is an ef-fective method of correcting DVD and made it possible to achieve a symmetrical position and cosmetic effect in 97% of cases. The residual angle should be corrected in the next stage by recession of the superior rectus muscle.

Venue: Room 428

Clinical Factors Affecting Successful Occlusion Treatment and Visual Recovery Time in AmblyopiaFirst Author: Ayoung CHOICo-Author(s): Se Youp LEE, Kyu Young SIMPurpose: To evaluate the factors affecting successful occlusion treatment and visual recovery time in pa-tients with amblyopia in cases where best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved to logMAR 0.0 after occlusion.

Methods: Forty-eight patients from 2 to 13 years old with amblyopia due to refractive errors or strabismus were selected. The duration of amblyopic treatment to gain BCVA of logMAR 0.0 was compared according

to the cause of amblyopia (anisometropia, strabismus, combined), initial BCVA of the amblyopic eye, the age at treatment, and other factors.

Results: The duration of treatment to gain a BCVA of logMAR 0.0 was prolonged when the initial BCVA in the amblyopic eye was lower than logMAR 0.7, the age at treatment was more than 6 years old, and spherical equivalent of the amblyopic eye was bigger than +3.0 D at treatment. These factors can be used to predict the duration of occlusion treatment.

Conclusions: Factors such as visual acuity, age, and spherical equivalent can be used to predict the dura-tion of occlusion treatment for amblyopia.

Venue: Room 428

Surgical Outcome of Extra-Large Recession of Unilateral Medial Rectus for Small Angle Esotropia in AdultsFirst Author: Cao HEPurpose: This study evaluated the surgical outcomes of adults who underwent extra-large recession of unilat-eral medial rectus (UMR) for the treatment of concom-itant esotropia less than +30 prism diopters (PD).

Methods: The medical records of 20 patients who underwent surgical correction of concomitant esotro-pia less than +30 PD were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with esotropia who were previously treated with 1 or 2 surgical procedures of adjustable suture (10 UMR recession 7.5-9 mm, 10 bilateral MR recession 4-5 mm) were included in the study. The mean age at surgery was 28.2 years old (range, 18-42 years old; SD, 19.9 years old). The binocular alignment and adduction function were evaluated at postoperative 3 days and 3 months.

Results: UMR recession was successful in the correc-tion of concomitant esotropia in 10 cases. There was no statistical difference in the postoperative PD or AC/A between the 2 groups (t = 1.67, P = 0.08, t = 1.69, P = 0.08). Three of 10 (30.0%) patients with UMR had ad-duction limitation on postoperative day 3, while none of the patients showed the limitation at postoperative month 3.

Conclusions: Surgical correction with UMR recession less than 9 mm was safe in adults with small angle esotropia.

Methods: Between 2006 and 2016, 1113 strabismus patients with unusual ocular motor disorders after clin-ical examination underwent magnetic resonance im-aging (MRI) of the oculomotor nerves in the brainstem and intraorbital resolution in triplanar scans.

Results: These results included normal (295 patients), congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (257 pa-tients), abnormalities of the extraocular muscles (169 patients), thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (209 patients), tumor (22 patients), orbital fracture (37 pa-tients), lesions of cavernous sinus (26 patients), intraor-bital inflammation (30 patients), injury of medial rectus muscle after endoscopic sinus surgery (13 patients), and others (55 patients).

Conclusions: MRI can provide unique information un-available from the clinical examination alone. With the help of MRI techniques, more and more cranial nerve and extraocular muscle abnormalities have been recog-nized.

Efficient High-Throughput Targeted Exome Sequencing Based Workflow for Differential Diagnosis of Special Forms of StrabismusFirst Author: Yonghong JIAOPurpose: Utilizing high-throughput targeted exome se-quencing is proposed as an efficient approach to aid in the molecular diagnosis of special forms of strabismus.

Methods: Forty-three probands with special forms of strabismus were enrolled (16 were familial and 27 were sporadic). Detailed clinical data were collected. High-throughput targeted exome sequencing of 150 candidate genes was performed. After bioinformatic analysis, the nucleotide variations were verified in fam-ily members and 100 unrelated normal control individ-uals.

Results: We identified 10 mutations in 7 genes (KIF21A, TUBB3, POMGNT1, RYR1, CHN1, MYH2, and ECEL1). A positive molecular diagnosis was made in 70% of probands (30/43); these diagnoses include congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM), muscle-eye-brain disease (MEB), congenital myopathy, Duane syndrome, and horizontal gaze palsy with progressive scoliosis (HGPPS).

Conclusions: This study indicates that high-throughput targeted exome sequencing may be essential to con-firm the accurate diagnosis of special forms of strabis-mus.

Venue: Room 428Does Occlusion Therapy Improve Control in Intermittent Exotropia?First Author: Kam Chuen CHANPurpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of occlusion therapy on the control of intermit-tent exotropia (IXT).

Methods: A prospective cohort pilot study of 20 Chi-nese IXT patients was performed. Age range was be-tween 3 and 7 years of age. Evaluation of the visual acuity, deviation angle, fusional convergence parame-ters, and Newcastle Control Score (NCS) were recorded before and after occlusion therapy.

Results: Comparing the parameters before and after occlusion therapy, 60% of the patients demonstrat-ed an increased level of visual acuity after occlusion therapy. An increase of deviation angles at near and distance was indicated in 45% and 40% of the patients, respectively. Half of the subjects showed an increase in NCS with no significant change in fusional reserve after occlusion therapy.

Conclusions: Deteriorating control of intermittent ex-otropia may result in decreased levels of visual acuity. Occlusion therapy may be effective in improving the level of visual acuity but may not improve the fusional control of deviation angles at near or distance. Further study may be needed to observe and consolidate our results.

Pediatric Cataract Surgery Using the 25-Gauge Vitrectomy SystemFirst Author: Vishaal BHAMBHWANICo-Author(s): Shuan DAIPurpose: To demonstrate the use of the 25-gauge vitrectomy system in pediatric cataract surgery by the anterior (limbal) and the posterior (pars plana) routes.

Methods: Three patients (aged 2 months, 6 months, and 2 years, respectively) with congenital cataract were operated on using the 25-gauge vitrectomy system. The first 2 patients were without intraocular lenses (IOLs) and the last was with IOL. The 25-gauge cutter was used by the anterior (limbal) route in case 2 and by the posterior (pars plana) route in cases 1 and 3.

Results: The 25-gauge cutter gives excellent results for cataract surgery in pediatric patients by both the anterior and posterior route with minimal postopera-tive conjunctival congestion, corneal edema, anterior chamber reaction, and the potential for sutureless surgery. There were no intra- or postoperative compli-

Outcome of Congenital Cataract Management: Follow-Up, Counseling, and ComplianceFirst Author: Mohammad Mostafa HOSSAINCo-Author(s): Quazi Sazzad IFTEKHARPurpose: To report cases of congenital cataract man-agement and the importance of follow-up, counseling, and compliance.

Methods: A child presented to our hospital in April 2012 at 8 months of age with vision of “fixation and follow” in each eye due to congenital cataract. Cataract surgery (irrigation and aspiration with posterior cap-sulotomy and anterior vitrectomy) was performed in both eyes 1 week apart. Proper medical management was given. The child was advised for regular follow-up (1 month, 3 months, and 6 months). At age about 4 years, secondary intraocular lenses were implanted in both eyes 1 week apart. Proper management and regular follow-up were maintained. Another child presented at 9 months of age with vision of “fixation and follow” in each eye due to congenital cataract. Cataract surgery in both eyes was done. Proper medical management was given. At age about 4 years, intraocular lenses were im-planted in both eyes. Proper management and regular follow-up were maintained.

Results: Follow-ups were regular (1 month, 3 months, and 6 months). In the first child best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in aphakia with +14.00 Dsp was about 6/60 in each eye. At age about 4 years 4 months, BCVA

was 6/9 with plano in the right eye and 6/9 with +0.50 Dsp in the left eye. In the second child BCVA in aphakia was 6/24 in each eye. At age 4 years BCVA was 6/9 in each eye. Both the children were compliant.

Conclusions: Good outcome of congenital cataract management largely depends not only upon surgery, but also upon follow-up, counseling, compliance, and tolerance.

The Prevalence and Causes of Pediatric Uncorrected Refractive Error: Pooled Data from Population Studies for Global Burden of Disease SubregionsFirst Author: Cao HEPurpose: To summarize the prevalence and causes of pediatric uncorrected refractive error (URE) from stud-ies in the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) subregions.

Methods: The pooled analysis used the individual participant data (ages less than 20 years old) from population-based studies around the world by regions. URE was defined as presenting visual acuity (VA) < 6/18 and improving to ≥6/18 or ≥1 line on using a pinhole in either eye, with main causes of myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism.

Results: The combined pooled data contained 14,371,149 individuals from 60 studies. The age- and subregion-standardized prevalence was 3.82 per 1000 [confidence interval (CI), 2.16–5.99] for hyperopia, 4.65 per 1000 (CI, 2.65–5.32) for myopia, and 1.13 per 1000 (CI, 0.71–1.22) for astigmatism. Prevalence varied by age and subregions but did not differ by gender. The age- and region-standardized prevalence of myopia was 4.24 per 1000 (CI, 3.86–5.01) in the Western Pa-cific region (14 studies), 3.19 per 1000 (CI, 2.65–4.79) in Southeast Asia (21 studies), and 2.17 per 1000 (CI, 1.56–3.68) in Americans (7 studies). Hyperopia was the first-leading cause in the African region (5 studies), with a prevalence rate of 9.15%. On the basis of these data, an estimated 11.20 million (CI, 9.91–13.56) indi-viduals are affected by myopia, with 7.53 million (CI, 5.19–9.31) affected by hyperopia and 2.21 million (CI, 2.35–6.22) affected by astigmatism.

Conclusions: Visual impairment due to uncorrected refractive error is a common condition in the Western Pacific region, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

Outcomes of Frontalis Sling Surgery Using Autologous Fascia Lata for Congenital Ptosis at the Hong Kong East Cluster Ophthalmology Service from 2007 to 2017First Author: Tracy LAICo-Author(s): Simon KOPurpose: To assess the long-term outcomes of frontalis sling surgery using autologous fascia lata for congenital ptosis at the Hong Kong East Cluster Ophthalmology Service from January 2007 to May 2017.

Methods: A retrospective, observational case series. Ten patients (14 eyes) aged 4 to 7 underwent either unilateral or bilateral frontalis sling surgery using au-tologous fascia lata for congenital ptosis. Postoperative functional and cosmetic result, presence of lagophthal-mos, exposure keratopathy, and postoperative compli-cations were documented.

Results: The mean marginal reflex distance (MRD) improved from 0.44 ± 0.13 mm to 1.88 ± 1.31 mm for unilateral cases and from 0.42 ± 0.58 mm to 1.25 ± 1.71 mm for bilateral cases. Good to fair outcome was achieved in 50% of cases, while 70% of patients had lagophthalmos and 57% of patients had exposure kera-topathy.

Conclusions: Autologous fascia lata sling is an effective method of correcting congenital ptosis.

Abuse in Physically Challenged ChildrenFirst Author: Sanjoy CHOWDHURYCo-Author(s): Sneha KUMARIPurpose: Physically challenged children want to spend more time at school than at home. The aim of this study was to determine the nature of abuses faced by the children of a school for the visually challenged.

Methods: Survey was done with a questionnaire both at school and home. This study was done with visually challenged cohorts.

Results: Out of 150 students, 80% reported some form of abuse at home. Ten percent admitted to neglect. Lack of knowledge leads to frustration and consequent physical abuse.

Conclusions: Counseling and a few simple measures helped the parents to live in harmony with this physi-cally challenged community.

Amblyopia in Congenital Ptosis: Factors That MatterFirst Author: Rachna Vinaya KUMARPurpose: To evaluate the incidence of amblyopia and role of factors in amblyogenesis in patients with con-genital ptosis.

Methods: Inclusion criteria was all patients of both sexes who presented with congenital ptosis, wherein visual acuity could be assessed. Exclusion criteria was patients of congenital ptosis with other organic pathol-ogies interfering with vision, or those for whom visual acuity could not be assessed. All patients had thorough clinical evaluation with special emphasis on (i) com-pensatory head posture, (ii) Herring’s reflex, (iii) poor levator function, (iv) pupillary occlusion by the ptotic eyelid, (v) orthoptic evaluation, and (vi) significant refractive error [spherical error ≥ 3 diopters (D), astig-matism ≥1.5 D, anisometropia ≥ 1D].

Results: Age ranged from 5-32 years (mean, 13.97 years). Of the 60 cases included in the study, 48 (80%) were unilateral and 12 (20%) were bilateral. Amblyopia was seen in 25 of the 60 cases (41.67%). Prevalence in unilateral and bilateral cases was 41.67% (20/48 and 5/12, respectively). The 2 groups of amblyopic and nonamblyopic patients were compared for various amblyogenic factors: (i) compensatory head posture, 57.7% vs 64.7%; (ii) Herring’s reflex, 50% vs 52.94%; (iii) poor levator function, 53.84% vs 35.29%; (iv) pupillary occlusion, 46.15% vs 41.17%; (v) significant refrac-tive error, 80% vs 17.4%; and (vi) strabismus, 40% vs 11.42%.

Conclusions: More than a third of patients with con-genital ptosis have amblyopia (41.67%). The common-est cause of amblyopia is significant refractive error (80%), followed by strabismus (40%). Astigmatism is the commonest amblyogenic refractive error. Amblyo-pia ex anopsia due to pupillary occlusion is rare (4%).

Purpose: Poor rate of weight gain and insulin like growth factor-1 have been implicated as risk factors for vision threatening retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). This study aims to assess rate of weight gain at the third week of life as a risk factor for vision threatening ROP.

Methods: This was an observational cohort study which included all preterm infants that satisfied the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the neonatal inten-sive care unit at University Malaya Medical Center from 2012 to 2016. Variables were analysed using univariate analysis. Thereon, significant variables were analysed using multivariate logistic regression. Outcome variable was vision threatening retinopathy of prematurity.

Results: A total of 299 infants were enrolled to the study. ROP was detected in 103 infants and 40 of these infants developed vision threatening ROP. Mean gesta-tional age was 29.71 weeks (SD, 2.57) and mean birth weight was 1179.97 g (SD, 219.81) in this cohort. Av-erage rate of weight gain at the third week of life was 12.39 g/kg/day (SD, 8.00) for vision threatening ROP and 7.86 g/kg/day (SD, 4.53) for no ROP. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that high weight gain at the third week of life (>7.219 g/kg/day) was a significant independent risk factor for vision threatening ROP (adjusted odds ratio, 2.90; 95% confidence interval, 1.11-7.60; P = 0.026). Gestational age, days on invasive ventilation, and culture-proven sepsis were other sig-nificant independent risk factors for vision threatening ROP.

Conclusions: High rate of weight gain at the third week of life was shown to be a significant independent risk factor for vision threatening ROP in this center.

Evaluation of Retinal Vascular Calibers in Overweight and Obese Malay ChildrenFirst Author: Chai SIANGCo-Author(s): Shatriah ISMAIL, Evelyn Tai Min LI, Tien Yin WONG, Erica Kueh Yee CHENGPurpose: The present study aims to determine the mean and mean differences of retinal arteriolar caliber and retinal venular caliber between overweight and obese Malay children.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study involving 131 Malay children aged 6-12 years in Kota Bharu, Malaysia. Overweight and obese groups were identi-fied based on the sex- and age-specific World Health Organization growth chart for 5 to 19 years old. Mul-tistage random sampling method was employed in participants’ recruitment. Ocular examination, refrac-tion, retinal photograph, and anthropometric mea-surement including height, weight, and blood pressure

were obtained by standardized protocols. Retinal vas-cular caliber was measured using a validated comput-er-based program and were summarized as the retinal arteriolar equivalent (CRAE) and central retinal venular equivalent (CRVE) by using the Kudtson-Parr-Hubbard formula.

Results: The mean corrected CRAE in overweight and obese Malay children were 173.50 µm and 165.84 µm, respectively, whereas the mean corrected CRVE in overweight and obese Malay children were 252.37 µm and 253.41 µm, respectively. There was a significant mean difference of retinal arteriolar caliber between overweight and obese Malay children where narrower retinal arteriolar caliber was observed in obese than overweight. However, there was no significant mean difference of retinal venular caliber between over-weight and obese Malay children after adjustment for confounding variables.

Conclusions: Retinal arteriolar caliber was found narrower in obese than overweight Malay children. However, the mean retinal venular caliber was almost similar in both groups. This may suggest that pediatric obesity has an effect on the microvasculature early in childhood.

Agreement of Image-Based Retinopathy of Prematurity Diagnosis Between Ophthalmology Residents and Pediatric OphthalmologistsFirst Author: Asri SETIAWATICo-Author(s): Julie BARLIANA, Dian ESTU, Rita SITORUSPurpose: To measure agreement of image-based reti-nopathy of prematurity (ROP) diagnosis between oph-thalmology residents and pediatric ophthalmologists.

Methods: Twenty-five sets of retinal photographs of premature infants were interpreted by 15 ophthalmol-ogy residents and pediatric ophthalmologists and clas-sified into 4 categories: no ROP, mild ROP, type 2 ROP, and treatment-requiring ROP. Level of agreement was measured based on Kappa value. The expected level of agreement for each category was “very good,” with the exception of treatment-requiring ROP, for which the expected Kappa value was 1.00.

Results: For detection of no ROP, agreement of all subjects was “very good.” For detection of mild or worse ROP, only 1 of 15 subjects had “very good,” 9 of 15 subjects had “good,” and 5 subjects had “moderate” agreement (Kappa, 0.65 ± 0.15). For detection of type 2 or worse ROP, 10 of 15 subjects had “very good,” 3 subjects had “good,” and 2 subjects had “moderate” agreement (Kappa, 0.45 ± 1.00). For detection of treat-ment-requiring ROP, only 7 of 15 subjects had a Kappa

Visual Outcome of Ocular Trauma in Children: Role of Parental Ocular MorbidityFirst Author: Sanjoy CHOWDHURYCo-Author(s): Sneha KUMARIPurpose: Eye injury in children below 5 years of age is an important cause of unilateral blindness. Good visual status of the parent is a prerequisite for proper out-come. The visual status of parents of children below 5 years of age presenting with eye injuries was studied.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional hospital-based study done for 1 year (2016). Preverbal visual acuity was checked with drum and Snellen chart was used for parents and older children. Logistic regression was done.

Results: Forty-five cases of eye injuries were recorded below 5 years of age. There was no difference with gender. Cases were unilateral in 95%, and 60% pre-sented within 24 hours. Mean acuity at presentation was 6/12. Mean visual acuity of the parents was 6/12. In 55% of cases, the mother had best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) <6/36 due to uncorrected refractive er-rors, cataract, and trauma. Logistic regression analysis showed poor visual outcome with injuries occurring at home [odds ratio (OR), 3.41] and with mother having poor vision (OR, 3.51).

Conclusions: Poor vision of parents can affect visual outcome in children sustaining eye injuries.

Avascular Retina in Retinopathy of Prematurity: To Treat or Not To Treat?First Author: Vishaal BHAMBHWANICo-Author(s): Shuan DAIPurpose: Opinion is divided with regard to the ideal management for avascular retina from regressed stage 1 and stage 2 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in children, with no clear guidelines. Various options exist including observation, laser, and anti-VEGF therapy. Our study aims to evaluate the natural history of avas-cular retina from regressed stage 1 and stage 2 ROP using fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and wide-field retinal imaging (Retcam 3).

Methods: Twenty-four children with avascular retina from regressed stage 1 and stage 2 ROP underwent FFA with Retcam 3 from age 9 months to 3.5 years. The

extent of avascular retina and leakage (if any) were noted.

Results: None of the 24 patients evaluated showed any leakage of dye on FFA. There were no tractional ele-ments or any retinal detachments visualised. Laser for patients with avascular retina from regressed stage 1 and 2 ROP has its share of problems, especially induced myopia. For the age group in our study, it was found that it may be safe to just observe such patients (with-out treatment). However, the need for repeated exams (including FFA) may be a roadblock until safety of just observation is strictly established, including studies to ascertain what happens to these avascular retinas in older/adult age.

Conclusions: Studies with larger sample size and longer follow-up are needed to frame guidelines for patients with avascular retina from regressed stage 1 and stage 2 ROP. However, our study shows that observation (without laser) may be a reasonable approach for such patients.

Epidemiology of Retinoblastoma in Singapore: Demographics, Incidence, and Mortality RatesFirst Author: Janice LAMCo-Author(s): Errol CHAN, Caroline CHEE, Ching-Yu CHENG, Gek Hsiang LIM, Gangadhara SUNDARPurpose: To provide an updated report on the inci-dence of retinoblastoma and long-term survival rates of retinoblastoma in Singapore and to describe the trend seen over an extended period of 30 years from 1984 to 2013, based on the national database in the Singapore Cancer Registry (SCR).

Methods: We reviewed retrospectively data from the SCR recorded between 1984 and 2013 to identify the incidence of retinoblastoma and the survival rate of retinoblastoma patients in Singapore. The incidence of retinoblastoma was estimated by population-based analysis of children aged 0 to 5 years, population-based analysis per live births, and birth cohort analysis. Sur-vival rate was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and the retinoblastoma data from the SCR was further cross-referenced with the death registry in Singapore.

Results: The overall incidence rate of retinoblastoma was 5.9 per 100,000 live births among children aged 0 to 5 years diagnosed during the entire study peri-od. Age-standardized incidence was similar for both genders. Birth cohort analysis showed similar results of 5.7 per 100,000 live births. The peak incidence rate occurred during the period from 2004 to 2008. The all-cause 10-year mortality rate was 11.7%. The mortality rate improved from 30% for patients diagnosed from

Retinoblastoma in the Northwest Frontier, PakistanFirst Author: Zafar IQBALPurpose: To determine the demographics and treat-ment outcomes of retinoblastoma in children in this region.

Methods: This is a cohort of 400 children with retino-blastoma presenting to the authors during the period from January 2000 to May 2015.

Results: Retinoblastoma presented at 2.19 years and 3.31 years of age in bilateral and unilateral cas-es, respectively. Its prevalence was slightly higher in males. Although leucocoria was the main presentation, proptosis accounted for 11.7% and 18.9% of bilateral and unilateral cases, respectively. Stage V disease was present in 84.5% and 56.8% of eyes in unilateral and bi-lateral cases, respectively. Primary enucleation was car-ried out in 57% and 42% of unilaterally and bilaterally affected eyes, respectively. Chemotherapy was carried out 21% and 35% of unilaterally and bilaterally affected children. Overall survival of these children was 55.57% for this cohort.

Conclusions: Retinoblastoma presents at a much ad-vanced stage in this region mainly due to late age at presentation. This along with poor follow-up is keeping the overall survival at a fairly low level in this region.

The Efficacy and Safety of Preinstilling Topical Anesthetic on Pupillary Dilatation in Newborn EyesFirst Author: Monika RATNASARICo-Author(s): Julie D BARLIANA, Rianto SETIABUDY, Rita S SITORUS, Indah S WIDYAHENINGPurpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of prein-stilling tetracaine 0.5% over mydriatic agents in dilating the pupil of newborn eyes.

Methods: The study was performed in 100 eyes of full-term healthy newborns. Each eye was randomized to receive either 0.5% tetracaine (intervention group) or artificial tears (placebo group) 5 minutes prior to 0.5% tropicamide + 2.5% phenylephrine, 15 minutes apart for 3 times. Pupil diameter, size changes, and dilatation rate, as well as systolic, diastolic, mean arterial blood pressure, and pulse rate were measured at baseline, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes after eye drop instillation.

Results: Pupil diameter and size changes were signifi-cantly larger and the rate of pupillary dilatation signifi-cantly faster in the intervention group compared to the placebo group after 60 minutes (P < 0.05). Increasing systolic and mean arterial pressure, along with decreas-ing pulse rate in the intervention group, were lower than the placebo group. Higher increase of diastolic blood pressure was observed in the intervention group, although the value was not statistically significant.

Conclusions: Preinstillation of 0.5% tetracaine over 0.5% tropicamide and 2.5% phenylephrine resulted in larger and faster pupillary dilatation, and it appears safe to administer in newborn eyes.

Trabeculectomy Surgery Outcome in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in CambodiaFirst Author: Seiha DOCo-Author(s): Chheng Y HAM, Sophal HENGPurpose: To evaluate the short-term outcomes and contributing prognostic factors of trabeculectomy in terms of intraocular pressure (IOP) at Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital and at Do Seiha Eye Clinic in prima-ry open-angle glaucoma.

Methods: This is a retrospective study that involved the evaluation of 28 patients (28 eyes) with primary open-angle glaucoma who underwent primary tra-beculectomy from February 2014 to October 2014. Patients who were over 40 years old were selected. Follow-up for all subjects lasted at least 6 months or

more. Successful control of IOP was defined as achiev-ing IOP of 21 mm Hg or less without medication (com-plete success).

Results: The results are presented with particular emphasis being placed only on IOP control. The tono-metric success rate of trabeculectomy in controlling IOP at 21 mm Hg or less without any medication was 57.14% (complete success); 14.28% had qualified suc-cess (postoperative IOP 21 mm Hg or less with 1 topical medication), while 28.57% of trabeculectomies failed to show desired results.

Conclusions: This retrospective study shows that the trabeculectomy procedure in primary open-angle glau-coma has moderate success in controlling intraocular pressure in the study population. The procedure failed to show the desired result in 28.57% of the patients and topical medical treatment was reinstated in these patients with either 2 or 3 drugs. However, these re-sults lead to the following question: Should trabeculec-tomy be the first choice of therapy in the early stage of glaucoma?

A Case of Congenital Posterior Staphyloma Presenting with AnisometropiaFirst Author: Heeyoung CHOICo-Author(s): Hyeshin JEONPurpose: To report a case of congenital posterior staphyloma that presented with anisometropia.

Methods: A 7-year-old female presented with de-creased visual acuity in the right eye. She had been wearing glasses and conducting occlusion therapy for the past 2 years. She denied any previous history of systemic disease. Her best corrected visual acuity was 20/25 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye, and color vision test was normal. The results of cyclople-gic refraction were -1.00 sph = -1.0 cyl, axis = 170° in the right eye and +1.75 sph = -0.75 cyl, axis = 160° in the left eye. Blurry inferior margin of optic disc and decreased foveal reflex were found. Axial length was 23.22 mm in the right and 22.25 mm in the left eye. Sclera at posterior pole was excavated and elongated asymmetrically on magnetic resonance imaging in the right eye.

Results: She was treated with glasses prescription and occlusion therapy.

Conclusions: Posterior staphyloma may present with anisometropia without systemic disease. The evalua-tion of structural abnormalities of the eye is necessary in patients with anisometropia and amblyopia.

A Case of Orbital Cyst With Congenital Optic Disc PitFirst Author: Hyeshin JEONCo-Author(s): Heeyoung CHOIPurpose: To report a case of orbital cyst with congeni-tal optic disc pit that presented with exotropia.

Methods: A 6-year-old boy was referred to our hospital because of amblyopia and exotropia. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/125 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Relative afferent pupillary defect was ob-served in the right eye; 16 prism diopters of exotropia was found by prism and alternate cover test and ocular movement was in normal range. Optic disc pit without subretinal fluid was found on fundus photo and opti-cal coherence tomography. On MRI, a cystic mass was observed and was diagnosed as an optic nerve cyst accompanied with optic disc pit.

Results: Occlusion therapy was applied and his best-corrected visual acuity improved to 20/80 after 6 months.

Conclusions: Orbital cyst is one of the accompanying diseases of optic disc pit that needs to be considered when an optic disc pit is diagnosed.

A Study of Strabismus in Children from 0 to 15 Years Old Observed in Lubumbashi, Democratic Republic of CongoFirst Author: Yogolelo BIENVENUPurpose: The aim of this article is to describe the epi-demiologic and clinical aspects of strabismus in Congo-lese children from 0 to 15 years old in Lubumbashi.

Methods: A longitudinal descriptive study on the ep-idemiologic and clinical aspects of strabismus in Con-golese children from 0 to 15 years old in Lubumbashi between December 2012 and December 2013. We collected the age, sex, type of strabismus, refraction, eye fundus, heredity, and the type of the strabismus deviation observed in 70 patients.

Results: We observed 70 patients with manifested strabismus, where 31 patients (44.28%) were between 0 and 5 years old. The average age of our patients was 6.7 with a predominance of the female sex: 51.42%. Strabismus was convergent in 65.71% and divergent in 30%, vertical in 4.28%. Esostropia represented 65 patients (92.85%); 4 patients (5.71%) had a family antecedent of strabismus in the first degree of rela-tiveness, 21 patients (30%) in the second degree of

relativeness, and 45 patients (64.28 %) did not have this antecedent. A total of 30% of patients complained much more about the left eye. Factors favoring strabis-mus were not observed in 54 patients (77.14%). Stra-bismus was secondary to hypermetropia in 32 patients (42.71%).

Conclusions: The frequency of strabismus in 0 to 15-year-old children was 0.5% in the town of Lubum-bashi. Esotropia was the most common deviation.

An Atypical Case of Bilateral Disc Swelling in a Young GirlFirst Author: Jonathan Yu Ping TAMCo-Author(s): Abbie LUK, Y F YUENPurpose: To report a case of suspected atypical idio-pathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) in a young girl. IIH is an uncommon condition in children. Diagnosis can often be difficult because paediatric patients present with vague symptoms and they may not have classical predisposing risk factors or clinical signs.

Methods: Case report.

Results: Our case presented with clinical features of IIH despite normal cerebrospinal fluid opening pressure. Visual field examination showed bilateral enlarged blindspot with constricted visual fields. She was treat-ed as IIH with oral acetazolamide and lifestyle modifi-cation, with stablization of her visual field constriction on treatment.

Conclusions: High index of suspicion and early treat-ment is important in paediatric IIH because delayed diagnosis is associated with risk of irreversible visual damage. Review of management and monitoring of paediatric IIH will be further discussed.

Prevalence of Endophthalmitis After Cataract Surgery in CambodiaFirst Author: Sophal HENGCo-Author(s): Chheng Y HAMPurpose: To define the prevalence of postoperative endophthalmitis at Takeo Eye Hospital in Takeo Prov-ince, Cambodia from January 2007 to December 2012 by using a modified cost-effective sterilization protocol. Moreover, we will determine the demographics and risk factors associated with this complication.

Methods: In this retrospective observational study at a single eye hospital, data of postoperative endoph-thalmitis within the first 4 postoperative weeks was

collected from a computerized database. The patient’s biography, the type of cataract procedure performed, and the complications during cataract surgery were noted and analyzed as possible risk factors.

Results: During the study period, there were 56 cas-es in 10,399 cataract surgeries (incidence, ~0.54%). The most occurred in the year 2007 (23/1241 cases; ~1.85%) and the least occurred in the years 2010 (1/1875 cases; ~0.05%) and 2011 (1/2183 cases; ~0.05%). There were many risk factors, but we found posterior lens capsule rupture with vitreous loss to be the most common cause (40/484 cases; ~8.26%). Last but not least, the majority of cases occurred in a range of 8 days to the second week (23/56 cases; ~41.07%).

Conclusions: This is not a bad result for Cambodia, even though it is higher than other countries. We still strongly support that the modified sterilization and asepsis protocol for cataract surgery in a clinical setting appeared to be safe and effective in preventing post-surgical endophthalmitis. Especially, we notice that the prevalence of endophthalmitis decreased dramatically to ~0.05% in 2010 when the operation theater was moved to a new building of an international standard with good asepsis protocol.

Central Retinal Artery Occlusion Post Pulmonary Artery Stenting ProcedureFirst Author: Oo Kok TIANCo-Author(s): Zunaina EMBONG, Shatriah ISMAIL, Khairy Shamel Sonny TEOPurpose: Central retinal arterial occlusion is most commonly associated with elderly patient populations. The major etiologic factor in adults has been attributed to emboli from atherosclerotic vascular disease of the carotid arteries, with about 75% of patients over the age of 40 years demonstrating this finding. Conversely, retinal arterial obstruction in young patients is rare and has a variety of causative factors. This is the case of a 16-year-old girl with underlying pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum, who developed a right central retinal artery occlusion after an operation for pulmonary artery stenting.

Methods: It is known that carotid stenting is associated with the risk of central retinal artery occlusion. How-ever, in this particular case, the patient had pulmonary artery stenting, which was a procedure that involved right-sided circulation of heart. It is very rare that pulmonary artery stenting causes central retinal artery occlusion or stroke.

Results: It is thought that the central retinal artery occlusion was due to the patient’s previous Fontan pro-

cedure that carries a risk of stroke or arterial thrombo-sis up to 19% and the pulmonary artery stenting may have mechanically mobilized the venous thrombus and further circulated into the left atrium, thus causing the central retinal artery occlusion.

Conclusions: Although studies show that there is no improvement in terms of visual recovery with thrombo-lytics in visual impairment more than 24 hours, retinal artery occlusion has significant association with subse-quent stroke, and with this patient comorbidity of high vascular risk, anticoagulant therapy would significantly reduce the risk of subsequent stroke.

The Role of Antenatal Dexamethasone and the Risk of Prolonged Oxygen Therapy in Retinopathy of Prematurity Among Extremely Premature Infants in Hospital Universiti Sains MalaysiaFirst Author: Oo Kok TIANCo-Author(s): Shatriah ISMAILPurpose: To determine the role of antenatal dexameth-asone in retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely premature infants and the effect of prolonged oxygen therapy as a risk for retinopathy of prematurity among these extremely premature infants.

Methods: Retrospective review of extremely prema-ture infants undergoing ROP screening. A total of 13 extremely premature infants (≤28 weeks) were includ-ed, and data were retrieved retrospectively to review antenatal dexamethasone usage and duration of oxy-gen therapy.

Results: Of these 13 extremely premature infants (≤28 weeks), ROP was detected in 11 (84%) infants. There were 8 (62%) extremely premature infants with thresh-old ROP requiring treatment. Among these 13 infants, 5 (38%) had completed antenatal intramuscular (IM) dexamethasone (2 doses 12 hours apart with the last dose 24 hours prior to delivery), and 8 (62%) had not completed IM dexamethasone antenatally. Among the 5 patients who had completed antenatal IM dexameth-asone, 2 (40%) of them had threshold ROP. Among the 8 patients who had not yet completed antenatal IM dexamethasone, 6 (75%) patients had threshold ROP. All 13 infants were on oxygen therapy of different duration. Four infants had oxygen therapy for more than 100 days, and all 4 (100%) had threshold ROP. In 4 infants who had oxygen therapy for 50-99 days, 2 (50%) of them had threshold ROP. In the 5 other patients who had oxygen therapy less than 49 days, 2 (40%) had threshold ROP.

Ocular Findings in an Infant with Severe Brain Damage from Abusive Head TraumaFirst Author: Ka Kin POONCo-Author(s): Wai Ho CHAN, Hilary K TSANG, Evan Po Fat YIUPurpose: To report ophthalmic findings and manage-ment of an infant suspected to have abusive head trauma (AHT).

Methods: This is a retrospective case report. Hospital records, clinical, and operative findings of a 5-month-old infant girl who suffered from suspected abusive head trauma with multiple systemic and ocular mor-bidities were reviewed and described. Literature review on ophthalmic manifestations of abusive head injury will be discussed.

Results: A 5-month-old infant presented with bilateral nonclearing dense vitreous haemorrhage with con-comitant severe brain damage requiring intubation and neonatal intensive care. Right eye lens sparing 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy was performed with modified trocar insertion length. Intraoperative find-ings showed extensive retinal haemorrhage and pig-mentary retinal scarring and premacular fibrosis and scar in the right eye. Left eye developed rubeotic glau-coma and extensive retinal detachment in addition to nonclearing vitreous haemorrhage before operation. A 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy was performed with lensectomy, membranectomy, and retinotomy. Howev-er, there was closed funnel combined rhegmatogenous and tractional detachment associated with retinal and subretinal haemorrhage which was not amenable to surgical repair.

Conclusions: Severe posterior segment complications characteristic of abusive head trauma were found in our patient. Visual prognosis is poor despite complicat-ed surgical interventions.

Barriers and Facilitators for an Innovative School-Based Vision Screening Model in ChinaFirst Author: Chimei LIAOCo-Author(s): Mingguang HE, Ran LIU, Decai WANG, Liqiong XIEPurpose: School-based screening is a good way to

detect early vision dysfunctions. Although it has been proved that accurate screening could be achieved after brief training for teachers, its widespread acceptability, barriers, and facilitators for implementation are still unknown. This study aims to explore perceived barriers and facilitators in the school-based screening model in CHEER, a Seeing is Believing Phase V initiative in Shanxi, China with the mission to improve access to eye care for children.

Methods: A qualitative research approach using semi-structured interviews was conducted with stakeholders during screening site visits from December 2016 to January 2017: 8 hospital managers and 9 screening teachers. Common coding techniques and the constant comparative method were used in data analysis.

Results: Seven broad factors were drawn to classify the barriers and facilitators for implementation in China, which were as follows: (1) individual factors (eg, motivation, ability), (2) organizational influence on implementation (eg, expertise, facilities, organization-al turbulence, structure), (3) parents’ and children’s attitude and behavior (eg, awareness, perspectives of screening, compliance, behavioral routines), (4) eco-nomic and political support for execution (eg, policies, funding, profits), (5) a set of administrative variables (eg, attitude, resource, training), (6) the influence of social background (eg, culture of education, knowledge of eye disease), and (7) the use of online data manage-ment systems (eg, accessibility, usability, advantages in practice).

Conclusions: This study provided context for under-standing barriers and facilitators to implementing school-based screening in China. In addition, the study suggests possible elements for successful implementa-tion.

Anisometropic Amblyopia in a Hydrocephalus ChildFirst Author: Kianti DARUSMANPurpose: To report a case of anisometropic amblyo-pia in a child with a history of hydrocephalus that was already treated with ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt.

Methods: Observational case report.

Results: A 3-year-old female was referred by a neu-rosurgeon with a history of shunt surgery at age 6 months for her hydrocephalus. Visual acuity was counting fingers at 1 m in the right eye and 6/12 in the left eye with a Kay picture chart at 6 m distance. No abnormalities on anterior segments. Cycloplegic refraction revealed high myopia in the right eye. No optic atrophies were found in both eyes. Full correction of spectacles was given and the child was seen again after 2 months. Compliance with spectacle wear was quite good. At follow-up visual acuity in the right eye improved to 6/60. Hydrocephalus in children has many etiologies and can cause ophthalmological abnormal-ities (refractive errors, strabismus, impaired depth perception, and simultaneous perception) and visual field constriction in up to 80% of cases and visual im-pairment in one third of cases. Though the most severe cases would cause optic atrophy and thus blindness, in cases with spared optic nerve, refractive errors were reported to be as high as 67%. Hyperopia and astig-matism were the most common; however, myopia and anisometropia have also been reported.

Conclusions: Ophthalmological abnormalities are com-mon in posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus. It is important to have preoperative and postoperative ophthalmology evaluation especially in a visually developing child.

A Report of Ocular and Central Nervous System Manifestations in Two Cases of Nevus Sebaceous SyndromeFirst Author: Chavisa BUNYAVEECo-Author(s): Thammanoon SURACHATKUMTONEKULPurpose: To report ocular and central nervous system manifestations in nevus sebaceous syndrome.

Methods: A retrospective review of the records of pa-tients with nevus sebaceous syndrome.

Results: Two cases of nevus sebaceous syndrome were included. Both patients presented with skin plaques and conjunctival mass since birth. The epibulbar mass was excised and the pathology revealed choristoma. Other ocular abnormalities were refractive error, cho-roidal osteoma, strabismus, and amblyopia. Arachnoid cyst and middle cerebral arterial vasculopathy were accidentally found from neuroimaging in 1 patient. Through several years of follow-up, no recurrent ocular

mass was identified and neurodevelopment was nor-mal.

Conclusions: Refractive error, conjunctival choristoma, choroidal osteoma, and strabismus can be found in ne-vus sebaceous syndrome. These ocular complications can lead to amblyopia. Magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance angiography of the brain may be required to detect subtle abnormalities. Early diag-nosis and treatment improve quality of vision and life.

Bilateral Cicatricial Ectropion Secondary to Netherton SyndromeFirst Author: Ivan BAYWONGCo-Author(s): Roland TANPurpose: To report a case of a young female with bilat-eral cicatricial ectropion and generalized erythroderma with ulceration.

Methods: A 6-year-old female consulted for wounds in trunk and extremities extending to the head. She was treated for diarrhea 9 days prior in another hospital where she developed said wounds after receiving unre-called antibiotics. Wounds did not heal despite shifting antibiotics. The patient was referred to ophthalmology due to inability to fully close bilateral upper and lower eyelids. On further investigation, the patient started to have generalized skin desquamation and thickening with associated progressive bilateral eyelid eversion 3 years previously. Skin biopsy revealed granulomatous changes and the patient was managed as a case of ichthyosis vulgaris. The patient had unremarkable birth and family history with no history of allergies or atopic dermatitis.

Results: Examination revealed erythroderma with areas of ulceration, with thick honey-colored crusts. The triad of congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma, trichorrhexis nodosa, and increased IgE levels led to the diagnosis of Netherton syndrome with overlying staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome. Stevens-John-son syndrome was initially considered due to onset of wound after antibiotic administration but skin swab culture revealed Staphylococcus infection.

Conclusions: Although lagophthalmos was large (10 mm) in both eyes, her Bell reflexes are good leading to only minimal corneal abrasion. Copious lubricants were used regularly and temporary bilateral lateral tarsorrhapy was done. However, due to the tension, tarsorrhapy only lasted for 2 days. An anterior lamellar reconstruction is being considered; however, we are still discussing where to obtain the skin graft.

Congenital Cataract: Does It Make a Difference?First Author: Fiona Lee Min CHEWCo-Author(s): Suriya Eh QURUT, Izzaifa HASSAN, Jamalia RAHMAT, Sunder RAMASAMY, Lim See THENGPurpose: Congenital cataracts are considered more amblyogenic compared to other causes of cataract in the paediatric age group. This study aimed to compare demographic and ophthalmological outcomes of con-genital cataract surgery against other causes of cataract in the paediatric age group.

Methods: This retrospective study reviewed pre- and postoperative medical records of children aged 19 years and below who underwent cataract surgery from 2014 to 2015 in a tertiary ophthalmic referral center. The children were excluded if they had less than 6 months of postoperative ophthalmological follow-up and if they had combination cataract surgery. The children were divided into 2 groups, which were the congenital cataract (CC) group and the other cataract causes (OC) group.

Results: Forty-one children were recruited for the CC group and 20 children were assigned to the OC group. Both groups had similar distribution of gender and ethnicity. The CC group was significantly younger at first ophthalmological presentation [odds ratio (OR) = 0.980, P = 0.001] and had a higher proportion of med-ical illness (OR = 3.81, P = 0.037). Children in the CC group were more likely to have bilateral cataracts (OR = 7.23, P = 0.003). Preoperative visual acuity (VA) (OR = 0.287, P = 0.001) of the CC group was poorer. The age at cataract surgery was younger (OR = 1.09, P = 0.043) in the CC group. Both groups had similar mean dura-tion of follow-up and postoperative complication rates. There was no significant difference between the mean postoperative VA of both groups.

Conclusions: Our study findings showed that congen-ital cataracts had comparable postoperative visual outcomes to other causes of paediatric cataract

Cyclic Esotropia: Surgical Approach and Outcome in a 4-Year-Old GirlFirst Author: Quazi IFTEKHARCo-Author(s): Tarikul AHASAN, Mohammad Mostafa HOSSAIN, Mastura KHATUN, Shifat TOUFIQPurpose: To describe the surgical outcome of bilateral medial rectus recession in cyclic esotropia, which is the first surgical approach for the 17th such diagnosed case in our department.

Methods: We report a 4-year-old girl presenting with alternate day inward deviation for the past 2 months. No other pathological findings were detected. After ruling out accommodative causes and confirming the

cyclic nature of disease by admitting the patient for consecutive 3 days, we performed 4 mm bilateral me-dial rectus recession.

Results: On the first postoperative day and after 1month follow-up no deviation was noted. There was no history of deviation at home also.

Conclusions: Though it is a rare form of strabismus, we have reported 17 other similar cases; however, this surgical approach was attempted for first time for this patient. As we have seen good results, the need for surgical correction in other patients is noted and will be followed in due course and evaluated.

Demographic and Clinical Profile of Retinoblastoma Patients in Northern Luzon, PhilippinesFirst Author: Roland TANCo-Author(s): Marie Christine MARCELO-TANPurpose: Retinoblastoma is common among Filipinos but there are no data on its prevalence and patient profile in the country, let alone in Northern Luzon. This is part of an initiative to obtain much needed national data by using data from retinoblastoma patients seen in Baguio General Hospital (BGH), a hospital that caters to locals of Northern Luzon.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of patients who consulted for leukocoria, strabismus, and intraocular tumor/mass in BGH from January 2005 to May 2017 was done.

Results: Thirty-five patients involving 41 eyes were included. Calculated prevalence in the 8 provinces is 6 per 1,000,000 population. Twenty (83%) had unilat-eral involvement while 6 had bilateral. Mean overall age at consult was 25 ± 18 months and mean overall delay from onset of initial symptoms to consult was 9 ± 8 months. Patients with bilateral disease were seen earlier than those with unilateral disease. Leukocoria (51%) remained the most common presenting symp-tom. The International Retinoblastoma Staging System (IRSS) was utilized to classify cases. A total of 26% had completely resected retinoblastoma, 27% extraocular, and 15% with brain metastasis. A total of 32% could not be classified.

Conclusions: Prevalence and profile of retinoblastoma patients in Northern Luzon was determined, which can be used in building a national database of retinoblas-toma. Forty-one cases were identified, almost a third of 152 cases seen by Noguerra et al in Philippine Gen-eral Hospital in 10 years, a recent study with the most number of Filipino patients included. Even though the most common presenting symptom is easily discernible (leukocoria), there is still significant delay in consult.

Intraocular Medulloepithelioma Resembling a Persistent Fetal VasculatureFirst Author: Roland TANCo-Author(s): Khrista ABESAMIS, Eulina LAGDAO, Darby SANTIAGOPurpose: To report a case of a 1-month old boy with new onset leukocoria of the right eye.

Methods: Case report.

Results: An elevated white mass in the temporal retro-lental space of the right eye was seen on dilated exam-ination. Orbital CT showed an ill-defined density with nodular enhancements in the right lateral aspect of a small right globe with no calcifications. On follow-up after a month, mass increased in size occupying the whole retrolental area. Right anterior chamber was shallow and right globe was hard. Orbital MRI revealed a linear retrolental lesion extending from the posterior surface of the lens to the optic nerve. Enucleation was done. A 15x5 mm cream to gray-white fibrous mass was seen directly behind the lens. It was lined with pseudostratified neuroepithelium in tubular and pali-sading patterns, sheets and rosettes made of uniformly small, round cells with vesicular chromatin pattern, and eosinophilic and fair cytoplasm. Intraocular optic nerve was surrounded by these cells. No patent hyaloid artery was seen.

Conclusions: This is a case of a rapidly growing ret-rolental mass, extending to the optic nerve in a small globe, mimicking a persistent fetal vasculature. Histo-pathological description of the mass resembles that of a medulloepithelioma. Intraocular medulloepithelioma is a rare tumor arising from nonpigmented ciliary epi-thelium in individuals aged 2 months to 41 years where a quarter of the patients had persistent hyaloid artery. To our knowledge, this is the youngest case of intraocu-lar medulloepithelioma with this unusual presentation.

Long-Term Visual and Functional Outcomes of Congenital and Developmental Cataract in Hong Kong Kowloon West Cluster: A ReviewFirst Author: Wai Lok CHANPurpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term visual and functional outcomes of pediatric cataract extraction in the cluster.

Methods: Thirty eyes of 20 patients (10 bilateral and 10 unilateral) aged from 1 month to 14 years old with congenital or developmental cataract extraction per-formed in Kowloon West Cluster, Hong Kong, between January 1, 2001 and December 30, 2011 were included in this retrospective study. Patients’ demographics, cat-aract type, surgical interventions, postoperative visual acuity, and complications were recorded.

Results: Primary intraocular lens implantation into the posterior chamber was performed in 20 eyes (66.7%), and 10 (33.3%) were left aphakic after cataract ex-traction. Among the 10 cases, 5 had secondary im-plantation of intraocular lens into the sulcus and 1 had scleral-fixated intraocular lens implanted. The mean follow-up duration was 8.5 years. At the last follow-up, visual acuity of logMAR >0.5 was achieved in 12 cases (40%), all of which had undergone cataract extraction and primary implantation of intraocular lens into the posterior chamber. The most common postoperative complication was posterior capsule opacification, occurring in 14 cases (46.7%), and all required sub-sequent capsulotomy. Eight cases (26.7%) developed glaucoma, and 1 case (3.3%) developed sensory exo-tropia.

Conclusions: The long-term postoperative outcomes appear promising with significant visual potential main-tained. Posterior capsule opacification accounts for the commonest postoperative complication.

Membranous Congenital Cataract with Partial Absorption in Congenital Rubella SyndromeFirst Author: Ni Made Ayu SURASMIATIPurpose: Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) is a con-dition due to maternal rubella virus infection. Rubella infection has an extensive manifestation both in the eye and systemic. Cataract is one of the most frequent manifestations of CRS, although membranous cataract and its absorption are rare. We report a case of CRS presenting with membranous cataract that was partial-ly absorbed at the time of presentation.

Methods: A case report of 5-month-old boy who presented with nystagmus, microcornea, leukocoria, and pinpoint pupils with negative pupil reflexes; USG examination supported the existence of a lens with membranous echo and microphthalmia. We planned evaluation under anesthesia, followed by pupiloplasty and cataract extraction.

Results: Examination under anesthesia revealed a membranous cataract with partial absorption. Pupilo-plasty and cataract extraction were done. Follow-up ex-amination showed esotropia, which indicated amblyo-pia. Management continued with spectacles to prevent further amblyopia.

Conclusions: Cataract in CRS can manifest as a mem-branous form due to its partial absorption. Surgical procedure for cataract, although very challenging, followed by visual rehabilitation will help to achieve a better visual outcome.

Optical Coherence Tomography in Children with Refractive ErrorFirst Author: Cheryl NGOPurpose: To study the distribution of macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL) thickness and peri-papillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness in children with refractive errors.

Methods: Two hundred forty-three healthy eyes from 139 children with refractive error ranging from -10.00 diopters (D) to +5.00 D were recruited. After a compre-hensive ocular examination, refraction and axial length (AL) measurement (IOLMaster, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc, Dublin), macular GC-IPL, and RNFL thickness values were obtained with a spectral domain Cirrus high-defi-nition optical coherence tomography (HD-OCT) system (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc, Dublin). Only scans with signal strength greater than 6/10 were included. Correlation between variables was calculated using the Pearson correlation coefficient. A multivariate analysis using mixed models was done to adjust for confounders.

Results: The mean spherical equivalent (SER) was -3.20 ± 3.51 D and mean AL was 24.39 ± 1.72 mm. Average, minimum, superior, and inferior GC-IPL were 82.59 ± 6.29, 77.17 ± 9.65, 83.68 ± 6.96, and 81.64 ± 6.70 μm, respectively. Average, superior, and inferior peripap-illary RNFL were 99.00 ± 11.45, 123.20 ± 25.81, and 124.24 ± 22.23 μm, respectively. Average, superior, and inferior GC-IPL were correlated with AL (β = -2.056, P = 0.000; β = -2.383, P = 0.000; β = -1.721, P = 0.000), but minimum GC-IPL was not (β = -1.056, P = 0.115). None of the RNFL parameters were correlated with AL.

Conclusions: This study establishes normative macular GC-IPL and RNFL thickness in children with refractive errors. Amongst all GC-IPL parameters, minimum GC-IPL thickness remained uninfluenced by AL and myo-pia, which makes it a robust and consistent predictor of glaucoma in children with refractive error.

Orbital Manifestation of Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis in a Child: A Diagnostic DilemmaFirst Author: Chai Keong TANCo-Author(s): Hussein ADIL, Musa Ahmad TARMIZI, Nor Hayati OTHMAN, Ismail SHATRIAHPurpose: To describe a case of Langerhans cell his-tiocytosis in a young child, who presented with right superolateral orbital swelling and proptosis. The swell-ing was treated initially as subcutaneous abscess with systemic antibiotic and it responded partially. In the end, diagnosis was made following orbital imaging and excisional biopsy of the swelling.

Methods: A case report.

Results: A 6-month-old boy presented with right su-perolateral orbital swelling, which was increasing in size for 1 week’s duration. The parents noticed the child had low grade fever and watery eye. Examination revealed a nontender, firm, well defined, immobile mass measuring 2 cm x 3 cm. It was nontender and there were no skin changes. Ocular examination was remarkable. The child was treated as subcutaneous abscess and was given syrup antibiotic. The mass was partially subsided and reduced in size 3 days following consumption of syrup. However, at the end of 1 week, the child was noted to have proptosis and hypotropia. Orbital and brain imaging yielded homogeneously enhancing soft tissue lesion and lytic bone lesion ad-jacent to the mass. Excisional biopsy was carried out and histopathological examination showed Langerhans cell infiltrate positive for S100 and CD1a. Diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis was made.

Conclusions: Langerhans cell histiocytosis, though rare, should be considered in patients presenting with orbit-al swelling and proptosis. Orbital imaging and biopsy provide early certain diagnosis and will aid in treat-ment to avoid late complications of the disease.

Success Rate of Probing for Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction in Children Under 5 Years of AgeFirst Author: Krytha TORCo-Author(s): Sophal HENGPurpose: To determine the success rate of probing for congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) in various age groups under 5 years old at Takeo Eye Hos-pital, Takeo Province, Cambodia from January 1, 2013 to May 31, 2017.

Methods: This retrospective study included a total of 41 children (50 eyes) aged 4 to 59 months diagnosed with CNLDO divided into 5 groups: group 1, infants 4-6 months of age; group 2, infants from 7 to 12 months; group 3, toddlers 13-24 months of age; group 4, old-er toddlers 25-36 months old; group 5, children from 37-59 months. Probing was performed under general anesthesia in all subjects. All patients were followed at regular intervals up to 6 weeks postoperatively. Suc-cessful probing was documented as complete remis-sion of symptoms 2 weeks following the procedure.

Results: The success rate of probing was 100% (3 eyes) in group 1, 88.89% (16 eyes) in group 2, 81.25% (13 eyes) in group 3, 66.67% (6 eyes) in group 4, and 25% (1 eye) in group 5; the overall success rate was 72% (39 eyes).

Conclusions: Probing of the nasolacrimal duct under general anesthesia is a safe and viable option as a pri-mary treatment modality for CNLDO. The success rate decreases with increasing age.

The Relationship Between Epiblepharon and AmbylopiaFirst Author: Chen Hsin SUNCo-Author(s): Cheryl NGOPurpose: To study the prevalence of refractive error, anisometropia, and amblyopia among patients with significant epiblepharon who underwent correction surgery.

Methods: Retrospective review of patients who underwent surgery for epiblepharon at the National University Hospital, Singapore from January 1, 2013 to June 31, 2017. Demographic data, visual acuity, refractive error, and presence of amblyopia were recorded.

Results: A total of 146 eyes of 73 patients were included in this study. Average age when the surgery was performed was 12 ± 6.7 years old. Seventy percent of patients had manifest or cycloplegic refraction done, among them 40% had myopia ≥1 diopter (D) and 44% had astigmatism ≥1 D. The mean spherical refractive error was -2 D and the mean astigmatism was -1.4 D. All (100%) cases of astigmatism were with-the-rule. There were 12 patients (16%) with anisometropia of >2 D spherical equivalent. There were 7 patients (9.6%) with amblyopia; 4 of the 7 patients with amblyopia had anisometropia.

Conclusions: Among patients who had epiblepharon correction surgery, 9% had amblyopia and 16% of the patients had anisometropia, which occurred in more than half of the cases with amblyopia. This study concurred with the findings from a previous study done 10 years ago at the same center. Pediatricians and general ophthalmologists should be aware of the risk of amblyopia in patients with epiblepharon.

Ultrasound Biomicroscopic Assessment and Surgical Management of Posttraumatic Paediatric CataractFirst Author: Pulak AGARWALPurpose: To establish the definitive role of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in preoperative assessment of posttraumatic paediatric cataract and define a proper surgical technique for management of such cases.

Methods: Preoperative UBM was done and findings documented. Three micro vitreoretinal (MVR) entries were made at 10, 2, and 12 o’clock. Anterior capsulorrhexis was performed. Intralenticular mechanical dissection was done. Lens was aspirated using bimanual with low machine settings. Posterior capsule (PC) rupture was noted with hyaloid fibrosed and stuck to edges of the rupture. Limited anterior vitrectomy was done and multipiece intraocular lens (IOL) put in bag.

Results: UBM findings were deep anterior chamber, thin lens due to partial absorption, flat anterior capsule as opposed to usual dome shaped, hyperreflective fibrotic content between anterior and posterior capsule, and loss of continuity of posterior capsule suggesting PC rupture. Postoperatively lens was well centered and stable, and there was good glow on distant direct ophthalmoscopy.

Conclusions: UBM helps in detecting the subtle signs of trauma with preoperative planning of surgical management. The surgical technique proposed gives good postoperative results.
