Eye problems like macular degeneration and amblyopia (lazy eye) require regular monitoring to prevent permanent visual impairment. Over 2000 patients a month are seen in CUH eye clinics; concern about Covid-19 infection has led to over 80% of consultations being conducted by telephone with few
The most common childhood-onset exotropia is intermittent exotropia (IXT). IXT is an exotropia that is not constant and is mainly present at distance, but may also be present at near. Binocular single vision is typically present at near but may be subnormal. There is some debate in the literature

Moderate and high hyperopia are associated with the development of strabismus and amblyopia. The primary aims of treatment for asymptomatic moderate and high hyperopia in preschool children are to facilitate the development of normal visual acuity and to prevent the development of esotropia and
Research Plan Background Stargardt disease (STGD/FFM) is the most common hereditary recessive macular dystrophy (Blacharski, 1988) characterized by juvenile to young adult onset, central visual impairment, progressive bilateral atrophy of the macula and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), with a
Improved neonatal care has resulted in the reduced mortality of preterm infants, especially in the very low birth weight and extremely low birth weight groups. However, this reduced mortality can be associated with long-term medical sequelae. For example, preterm infants are at increased risk of

Amblyopia is the most common cause of monocular visual impairment in children, estimated to affect as many as 3.6% of the childhood population. The natural history of amblyopia is relatively unknown although it has been reported that visual acuity may deteriorate further without treatment.
Although
The primary objective of the project is to develop a valid, reliable, better standardized and more efficient test of visual acuity for use in clinical trials. Accuracy, precision, stability, and utility of the test will be assessed for non-inferiority with Early Treatment for Diabetic Retinopathy
