Binocularity, corpus callosum, diffusion tensor imaging, infantile esotropia, strabismus
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) imaging was undertaken with four infantile esotropia (IE) patients and nine controls. All with IE showed an asymmetrical distribution of callosal fibres when comparing two hemispheres. Many fibres terminated near the tips of the occipital cortices....

Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
|
esotropia, exotropia, genetics, pedigree analysis, primary concomitant strabismus
The authors explore the pedigree analysis of familial cases of primary concomitant strabismus (PCS) to unravel the genetic determinants of this strabismus. Of 2301 cases of PCS, 39 (1.7%) had familial clustering. This study recruited 18 families with esotropia and...
15 prism test for anisometropic amblyopia

Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
|
Amblyopia, anisometropia, fixation preference, preverbal children, visual acuity
The authors aimed to investigate the accuracy of the 15^ base in prism test (BIPT) in detecting amblyopia in anisometropic patients. This was a retrospective study in which the 15^BI was placed before the right eye followed by the left...
Choroidal thickness in strabismus and amblyopia

Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
|
amblyopia, anisometropia, choroidal thickness, esotropia, exotropia
The authors examined the effect of exotropia, esotropia, anisometropic amblyopia and hypermetropia on choroidal thickness in a prospective cross section study. The study included 100 patients and 20 controls with a mean age of 8.5±2.9 years; 61 female and 59...

Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
|
cross-sectional, phoria, rural areas, tropia
Previous studies in parts of Iran report a childhood prevalence of strabismus of 1.2 to 2.3%. The authors aimed to evaluate the prevalence of strabismus in underserved rural areas of Iran in all age groups. In 2015 they conducted a...
IXT control vs. binocular summation
1 April 2018
| Fiona Rowe (Prof)
|
Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
|
binocular summation, control, intermittent exotropia
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of BS scores with other current markers used for evaluating the control in preoperative intermittent exotropia (IXT) patients. Data was collected on stereoacuity, angle of deviation, Newcastle control score (NCS),...
Stereo distance in XT

| Fiona Rowe (Prof)
|
Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
|
far stereoacuity, intermittent exotropia, near stereoacuity, stereoacuity, test distance
The test distance effect on stereoacuity was explored in a population with intermittent exotropia along with use of two types of stereograms with crossed and uncrossed disparity. At near and distance distances, the median for both disparities was 60”; 79%...

|
Adult strabismus, exotropia, operation dosage, techniques/procedures
The authors present the results of transposition surgery without concomitant lateral rectus weakening in a retrospective review of five cases. Surgery was for large exotropia and marked limitation of adduction after surgical loss of the medial rectus muscle. Mean age...
Medial rectus surgery with development delay

|
BMR, cerebral palsy, consecutive exotropia, developmental delay, esotropia
The long-term results of bilateral medial rectus surgery are evaluated in 42 children with development delay. Mean age pre-surgery was 2.9 years with a mean follow-up of 4.6 years. Mean angle of esotropia was 44.29±13.9PD; 57% achieved surgical success; 31%...
Pseudostrabismus leading to strabismus
1 August 2017
| Fiona Rowe (Prof)
|
Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
|
Binocular vision, hypermetropia, strabismus
The authors aimed to evaluate the incidence of strabismus in children initially diagnosed with pseudostrabismus and identify risk factors for development of strabismus. This was a retrospective review of 65 patients with a diagnosis of pseudostrabismus; two exo and 63...
Factors indicating better stereopsis for APAET

|
Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
|
Duration of misalignment, partially accommodative esotropia, stereopsis, strabismus surgery
The purpose of this study was to determine preoperative factors that affect postoperative stereopsis in patients with acquired partially accommodative esotropia (APAET). This retrospective study was undertaken over a five-year period. Eighty-four subjects had surgery for APAET and 57 met...

Bifocals, convergence excess, esotropia, multifocals, strabismus
This retrospective study includes a disparate group of 39 esotropic patients with an accommodative element from two different clinics with differing prescribing practices. Seven children were excluded due to previous treatment or insufficient follow-up. In all patients single vision glasses...
