- Surgical drape waste in pediatric ophthalmology: examining the sustainability of strabismus surgery. [Journal Article]J AAPOS. 2026 Oct 06; :105313. [Online ahead of print]JA
- CONCLUSIONS: Draping practices in pediatric strabismus surgery result in significant waste from unused and oversized drapes. Aligning surgical pack contents with surgeon preferences, adoption of size-appropriate drapes, and exploration of reusable alternatives may reduce the environmental impact of pediatric strabismus surgery.

- Association between congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction and upper airway pathology: insights from a large multicenter cohort. [Journal Article]J AAPOS. 2026 Oct 06; :105317. [Online ahead of print]JA
- CONCLUSIONS: A significant association was found between CNLDO and adenoid hypertrophy, adenoidectomy, and obstructive sleep apnea. This association may imply that upper airway pathology contributes directly to the development of CNLDO, or that both conditions share common predispositions and arise independently.

- Hypotony after glaucoma drainage device surgery for refractory pediatric uveitic glaucoma. [Journal Article]J AAPOS. 2026 Oct 05; :105308. [Online ahead of print]JA
- CONCLUSIONS: Hypotony after GDD implantation in PUG was frequent but often transient and compatible with stable visual outcomes. No significant associations found between hypotony and type of GDD. Given the limited sample size and descriptive nature, further studies are needed. Careful monitoring remains essential, because hypotony may occur at different time points.

- Impact of a novel healthcare team-collaborative care communication system on ophthalmologic follow-up for children referred following photoscreening. [Journal Article]J AAPOS. 2026 Oct 05; :105309. [Online ahead of print]JA
- CONCLUSIONS: In our study cohort, high follow-up rates after photoscreening referrals were achieved in primary care, offering a practical strategy to improve early amblyopia detection and treatment on a community level.

- CONCLUSIONS: Both surgeries can effectively manage basic type IXT, but BMRs may be more prone to undercorrection by 6 months postoperatively.

- The effect of inferior oblique weakening on vertical deviation in contralateral gaze. [Journal Article]J AAPOS. 2026 Oct 05; :105312. [Online ahead of print]JA
- CONCLUSIONS: In our small study cohort, isolated unilateral IO weakening resulted in moderate early reductions in contralateral vertical deviation across elevation, horizontal gaze, and depression, with smaller ipsilateral changes.

- CONCLUSIONS: Zone III PAR and abnormal peripheral vascular findings may be observed after spontaneous regression of zone II, stage 2 ROP, however, no vascular leakage, retinal holes, tears, or detachments were identified in our cohort.

- Exploring a potential healthy survivor bias in retinopathy of prematurity. [Journal Article]J AAPOS. 2026 Sep 30; :105307. [Online ahead of print]JA
- CONCLUSIONS: Data from a single-center, majority Black population indicate that a healthy survivor effect among Black infants was not detected. Further studies across diverse settings are needed, however, given the consequences of missing this potential bias in studies assessing race/ethnicity and ROP.

- CONCLUSIONS: There appears to be potential for reducing waste from textiles and certain plastic materials in pediatric ophthalmic surgery. Further study is needed to evaluate the environmental and financial efficacy of interventions.

- CONCLUSIONS: The Eyesi Indirect ROP demonstrated significant construct and face validity in this study cohort, suggesting that it may be a valuable adjunct to traditional training methods for ROP screening for a range of healthcare professionals.

- CONCLUSIONS: Regional differences exist in pediatric ophthalmology programs, particulary in fellowship availability, faculty composition, and funding. These variations may influence workforce distribution and training opportunities, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to support regions with lower representation.

- Relative risk and onset of strabismus in children with Chiari malformation. [Journal Article]J AAPOS. 2026 Sep 25; :105302. [Online ahead of print]JA
- CONCLUSIONS: Children with Chiari malformation have increased risk of strabismus compared to those without, even after controlling for referral bias among children in a pediatric ophthalmology clinic. Early ophthalmology referral is recommended.
