    Abstract Objective: To review and discuss the clinical presentation and treatment of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
    Discussion: Visual alterations and headache are the two main symptoms of idiopathic intracranial hypertension, although additional features including cranial nerve palsies, cognitive deficits, olfactory deficits and tinnitus are not uncommon. The headache associated with idiopathic intracranial hypertension frequently has a migrainous phenotype. The underlying cause of the disorder has not yet been elucidated. Several hypotheses have been postulated but none of them can explain the full clinical picture. Therapeutic options remain limited, focusing mainly on reduction in body weight and the reduction of CSF production with carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
    Conclusion: The accurate diagnosis of idiopathic intracranial hypertension is essential as visual deterioration due to papilledema may be irreversible. Given its phenotypic similarity and frequent overlap with chronic migraine it is essential to consider idiopathic intracranial hypertension in the diagnostic workup of chronic headache; in particular, when considering its increasing prevalence. Understanding in detail the pathophysiological mechanisms behind the associated headache would also allow study of current and future therapeutic options in a structured way.

    Abstract Inherited optic neuropathies affect around 1 in 10,000 people in England; in these conditions, vision is lost as retinal ganglion cells lose function or die (usually due to pathological variants in genes concerned with mitochondrial function). Emerging gene therapies for these conditions have emphasised the importance of early and expedient molecular diagnoses, particularly in the paediatric population. Here, we report our real-world clinical experience of such a population, exploring which children presented with the condition, how they were investigated and the time taken for a molecular diagnosis to be reached. A retrospective case-note review of paediatric inherited optic neuropathy patients (0-16 years) in the tertiary neuro-ophthalmology service at Moorfields Eye Hospital between 2016 and 2020 identified 19 patients. Their mean age was 9.3 ± 4.6 (mean ± SD) years at presentation; 68% were male, and 32% were female; and 26% had comorbidities, with diversity of ethnicity. Most patients had undergone genetic testing (95% (

    Abstract Aims: Red reflex testing forms an essential part of newborn (within the first week of life) and infant (6 weeks of age) screening in New Zealand, as outlined in the Well Child/Tamariki Ora handbook. This survey of practitioners undertaking red reflex screening aimed to determine current practices and attitudes of screeners, as well as any barriers to screening.
    Methods: A short, multiple-choice, on-line questionnaire was sent to approximately 1,500 health care professionals undertaking red reflex screening, over a 4-week period.
    Results: Four hundred and eighty-three survey responses were received from 267 GPs (55.4%), 153 midwives (31.7%), and 50 paediatricians (10.4%). Thirty-six respondents (7.8%) performed red reflex screening only when they had time to do so, 13 (2.8%) only undertook this when there were concerns raised by the parents. Most respondents (97.3%) used an ophthalmoscope to perform screening. Seventynine respondents (16.6%) felt they were "not sure/underconfident" at performing this test. Only 83 of 479 respondents (17.3%) had received any formal training.
    Conclusions: The development of an online resource or practical 'refresher' sessions would be well received and likely to improve current practices.

    Abstract Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of inferior oblique (IO) myectomy in patients with primary position hyperdeviations ≥20(Δ), with unilateral IO overaction and clinically normal or minimally underacting superior oblique ductions, where excyclotorsion was not a barrier to fusion in primary position.
    Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent IO myectomy from 1999 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed to identify those with primary position hyperdeviations of ≥20(Δ). Postoperative changes in vertical deviations in primary position and horizontal and vertical planes were analyzed.
    Results: A total of 17 patients were included. Mean follow-up was 17.3 months. At last follow-up, the mean hyperdeviation decreased in all five documented positions of gaze by 84% of the initial value, with mean reduction in the primary position vertical deviation from 26.5(Δ) to 4.1(Δ). There was rapid early reduction of deviation in all gaze positions (mean, 53%) at 2-4 weeks' follow-up, with a corresponding mean reduction of vertical deviation to 11.4(Δ). There were no overcorrections, but 5 patients (29%) had a postoperative primary position hyperdeviation of >5(Δ). Two patients (12%) required further vertical rectus surgery.
    Conclusions: In our patient cohort, isolated IO myectomy did not result in symptomatic overcorrections and had a reoperation rate that compares favorably to the traditional primary simultaneous two-muscle approach.

    Abstract Purpose: To present the results of bilateral superior rectus transposition with medial rectus recession in a case of chronic bilateral sixth nerve palsy.
    Observation: Bilateral superior rectus transposition with medial rectus recession resulted in full correction of esotropia with resolution of horizontal diplopia, improvement in abduction, and regain of stereoacuity in our case. There was minimal limitation of adduction, with no abnormal vertical or torsional changes.
    Conclusion and importance: Bilateral superior rectus transposition with medial rectus recession appears to be a useful procedure for surgical treatment of bilateral sixth nerve palsy with minimal side effects. Given its potential for reduced risk of anterior segment ischemia (ASI), it may have especially good value in the select group of patients at risk for ASI. Studies with larger sample size and longer follow up are needed to further evaluate this procedure and elucidate the variables in surgical technique for superior rectus transposition.

    Abstract Purpose: To explore the application of preoperative fusional convergence amplitudes in the selection of a target angle for non-adjustable suture strabismus surgery with deteriorated intermittent esotropia and diplopia.
    Methods: Thirty-one consecutive cases of presumed acquired non-accommodative, deteriorated intermittent esotropia managed surgically between 2005 and 2016 were reviewed retrospectively. For each individual, a target angle (deviation angle for which surgery was based) was selected preoperatively after analysis of fusional convergence amplitudes. Outcomes in patients selected for overcorrection at 6 meters (target angle > angle in primary position at 6 meters) were compared to those who had planned surgery based on a target angle that did not exceed their measured angle (target angle ≤ angle in primary position) at 6 meters.
    Results: All 31 patients achieved binocular single vision in primary position at both near and 6 meters without prisms, orthoptic therapy, or additional surgery at 4 to 6 months postoperatively. Greater mean correction in the target angle > angle in primary position group compared to the target angle ≤ angle in primary position group was observed, but this difference was not statistically significant (P = .57).
    Conclusions: Among this diagnostically specific cohort with intermittent esotropia with symptomatic diplopia and measurable binocular single vision preoperatively, targeted surgery based on an analysis of preexisting fusional convergence amplitudes had an outcome that compared favorably to that of documented adjustable suture strabismus surgery.

    Abstract Background: With the promise of gene replacement therapy, eligible males and females with X-linked inherited retinal dystrophy (XL-IRD) should be identified.
    Methods: Retrospective observational cohort study to establish the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of XL-IRD within New Zealand (NZ). Thirty-two probands, including 9 females, with molecularly proven XL-IRD due to RP2 or RPGR mutations, and 72 family members, of which 43 were affected, were identified from the NZ IRD Database. Comprehensive ophthalmic phenotyping, familial cosegregation, genotyping, and bioinformatics were undertaken. Main outcome measures were: RP2 and RPGR pathogenic variant spectrum, phenotype in males and females (symptoms, age of onset, visual acuity, refraction, electrophysiology, autofluorescence, retinal appearance), and genotype-phenotype correlation.
    Results: For 32 families, 26 unique pathogenic variants were identified; in RP2 (n = 6, 21.9% of all families), RPGR exons 1-14 (n = 10, 43.75%), and RPGR-ORF15 (n = 10, 34.3%). Three RP2 and 8 RPGR exons 1-14 variants are novel, rare, and cosegregate. Thirty-one percent of carrier females were significantly affected, with 18.5% of families initially classified as autosomal dominant. Of five Polynesian families, 80% had novel disease-causing variants. One Māori family showed keratoconus segregating with an ORF15 variant.
    Conclusions: Significant disease was present in 31% of genetically proven female carriers, often leading to an erroneous presumption of the inheritance pattern. Pathogenic variants in 44% of the families were in exon 1-14 of RPGR, more frequent than usually described, which may inform the gene testing algorithm. Proving cosegregation in families for novel variants and identifying affected females and males translates to optimised clinical care and potential for gene therapy.
