Intravitreal injection was first mentioned in a study in 1911, in which the injection of air was used to repair a detached retina. [6] [7] [8] There were also investigations evaluating intravitreal antibiotics injection using sulfanilamide and penicillin to treat endophthalmitis in the 1940s, yet due to the inconsistency of results and safety concerns, this form of drug delivery was only for ...

The management of strabismus may include the use of drugs or surgery to correct the strabismus. Agents used include paralytic agents such as botox used on extraocular muscles, [1] topical autonomic nervous system agents to alter the refractive index in the eyes, and agents that act in the central nervous system to correct amblyopia.

Higher order aberrations are a relatively small component, comprising about 10% of the eye's total aberrations. [3] High order aberrations increase with age and mirror symmetry exists between the right and the left eyes. [4] Several studies have reported a compensation of the aberration of the cornea by the aberration of the crystalline lens.
The small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) procedure was first published in 2011 by Walter Sekundo et al. [7] [10] Various modifications of the procedure have since then been described which aim to reduce the duration of the procedure, reduce the risks of the lenticules being incorrectly cut or make the procedure easier to learn.
