“…3,4 Chronic eye rubbing can lead to keratoconus, cataract, enophthalmos, and retinal detachment, all of which were present in our case. 5 This further increases the ocular morbidity in patients with previously compromised vision. ROP sequelae can present with posterior segment changes such as abnormal peripheral retinal changes, retinal pigment epithelial changes, vitreoretinal interface changes, vitreous membranes, high myopia, and lattice-like degenerations.…”

A 14-year-old male child presented with complaints of poor vision in both eyes since infancy. The child had a history of preterm delivery, neonatal intensive care unit stay, and oxygen supplementation. He was diagnosed to have cicatricial Retinopathy of Prematurity [ROP]. Keratoconus was evident in both eyes, along with oculodigital sign and enophthalmos. This case highlights the grave sequelae of untreated ROP and its complications. A varied presentation of ROP is to be borne in mind when evaluating such patients later in life. Oculodigital sign can further compromise the vision in such cases due to associated keratoconus, cataract, and retinal detachment.

“…Central to these two models is the need for a neuronal mis-wiring. This seems somewhat untenable given the range of visual disorders associated with CN in the absence of chiasmal misdirection, the absence of an abnormal visual evoked response in idiopathic CN and the ®nding of CN in achiasmic dogs 23,24 and humans 25 . Fourthly, in 1995 Harris 26 suggested that CN was due to excessive gain in an internal efference copy loop in the smooth pursuit system around a leaky neural integrator.…”

Clinicians often regard nystagmus as a perplexing subjectÐoscillations of the eyes that can only be understood by neuro-ophthalmologists. Research over the past three decades has led to better understanding of the pathophysiology of acquired forms of nystagmus, suggesting drug therapies. Congenital nystagmus remains unexplained, but better documentation of several factors that reduce these oscillations has led to the development of surgical therapies. This symposium begins with a summary of current concepts of the pathophysiology of nystagmus by RV Abadi, which provides the background to current medical treatments (JS Stahl and colleagues) and surgical therapies (J Lee).
