Surgical management of IIIcnp
This was a retrospective review of a cohort of patients with complete third nerve palsy (IIIcnp) managed by a surgical technique of full tendon transposition (FTT) of the lateral rectus (LR) to the medial rectus (MR) augmented with posterior fixation...
MISS vs. conventional surgery
This was a prospective randomised parallel arm design study for 40 patients. Group 1 consisted of conventional strabismus surgery using the limbal approach and group 2 consisted of minimally invasive strabismus surgery (MISS). Mean age was 21.1±2.73 years for MISS...
Strabismus measurement comparisons
The authors conducted a prospective study to compare the measurements obtained by objective alternate prism and cover test (PCT) and the subjective red glass test in 72 patients aged 60 years on average and with a mean visual acuity of...
Simultaneous vs. alternate PCT disparity in XT
The authors quantified the relationship between simultaneous prism and cover test (SPCT) and alternate prism and cover test (APCT) alignment in patients with measures at the same visit after surgery for exotropia. This was a retrospective study of 955 patients...
Video game play as amblyopia treatment adjunct
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of monocular video game play as a supplement to occlusion therapy in the treatment of anisometropic amblyopia (AA). This was a prospective study of 68 patients aged six to 14...
Strabismus after ocular surgery
This literature review discusses the incidence of diplopia after ocular surgery procedures for lids and ocular adnexa considering the mechanisms and treatments involved. Lid and conjunctival surgery included blepharoplasty, conjunctivodacrocystorhinostomy, conjunctival lesions and pterygia; cataract surgery; refractive surgery; glaucoma surgery;...
Progression of high anisometropia in children
This study aimed to analyse the stability and progression of higher degrees of myopic anisometropic in children. This retrospective study included 63 children meeting the inclusion criteria. Mean age at initial visit was 4.3 years ±2. There were 51% males...
Simultaneous surgery for ptosis and strabismus
The authors present the surgical management of congenital ptosis and coexistent strabismus at one centre for a follow-up period of >2 years. This was a retrospective review of 10 patients (17 eyes); nine males. Intermittent exotropia was present in three...
MRI in anisometropic amblyopia
This study recruited patients with anisometropic amblyopia in the right eye and without strabismus. This allowed the authors to reduce the effort exerted in cortex activities by different amblyopic eyes. They used whole brain analysis to find the differences between...
Open-field autorefraction screening
This study aimed to determine the efficacy of the Shin-Nippon NVision-K5001 autorefractometer using the open-field refractometry principle in the elimination of accommodation in children. One hundred and fourteen patients aged three to six years were recruited. After excluding ocular pathology...
Repeated ptosis surgery
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the amounts of surgery for the treatment of residual or recurrent simple congenital ptosis and to investigate the relationship between long-term surgical success rates with clinical and surgical factors. This was a...
Surgery for acquired distance esotropia
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of this surgical approach in the treatment of divergence insufficiency esotropia. This was a retrospective review of 18 patients aged on average 49.6 years; 77% were female. Preoperatively the distance...
