To explore the relationship of sleep apnea and the subsequent development of retinal vein occlusion (RVO). ⋯ Sleep apnea may be an independent risk factor for RVO.

To describe the long-term surgical course of patients with open globe injury. ⋯ Open globe injuries require significant surgical follow-up. Patients requiring multiple operations tended to have worse postoperative visual acuity. Patients who underwent vitreoretinal surgery had overall worse visual outcomes. While the first year of surveillance appears to be pivotal in the course of an open globe injury, these patients can expect long-term care from comprehensive and subspecialty ophthalmologists.

To determine the influence of general anesthesia and strabismus surgery on children's intellectual abilities. ⋯ General anesthesia with sevoflurane and strabismus surgery generally do not affect the intellectual abilities of complex cortical function in children 5 to 10 years of age at 4 weeks after surgery. Cortical functions related to hand-eye coordination may be affected by transient changes in postoperative stereoacuity.
