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),...
Dynamics of interocular suppression

|
Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
|
Amblyopia, interocular suppression, occlusion dose monitor (ODM), occlusion treatment, plasticity
The main aim of this study was to determine the development of the depth of interocular suppression in the course of occlusion treatment in amblyopia as well as its correlation with changes in visual acuity. The authors investigated whether presence...
Pseudostrabismus leading to strabismus

|
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...

| Fiona Rowe (Prof)
|
Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
|
Binocular vision, stereoscopic vision, 3-dimensional drive, 2-dimensional object, vergence control
The aim of this study was to investigate if near point of convergence (NPC) would improve when a fixation target with centrally placed 3-D features (to increase binocular disparity stimulus) was used in comparison to a target using only centrally...
Three methods of suppression measurement

Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
|
Amblyopia, binocular vision, strabismus, suppression
Test-retest reliability and interchangeability are evaluated for three filter bars available to measure density of suppression: Sbisa bar, Bagolini filter (BF) bar and neutral density filter (NDF) bar. The study involved 10 strabismic adults. Testing conditions were altered and effects...
