Surgery for myopic esotropia

The authors report a modified Jenson procedure for the treatment of high axial myopic esotropia. Their study includes 15 eyes of 13 patients with a mean age of 50±10.4 years. Mean spherical refraction was -22.53±6.06 dioptres. Mean axial length was...

Achieving post-op target range increases success of strabismus surgery in adults

This is a retrospective cohort study of all patients over 12-years old undergoing strabismus surgery under a single surgeon in a tertiary referral centre in Toronto, Canada. The aim of the study is to determine the role of achieving immediate...

Amblyopia OCT results

The authors compared the macular and peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thicknesses of amblyopic and fellow eyes using Stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT) to reveal any differences. They sought to determine the anatomical differences between these subtypes of strabismic...

Stereo distance in XT

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%...

Risk factor for surgical failure in consecutive XT

This study was designed to determine the success rate among patients with consecutive exotropia after choosing an appropriate surgical method based on medial rectus function and level of exo deviation. The authors conducted an interventional case series study of 40...

Surgical results in spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)

Patients with SCA frequently develop ocular motility abnormalities including nystagmus, abnormal smooth pursuits, dysmetric saccades, divergence paresis and ophthalmoplegia. Incidence of diplopia is higher in SCA type 3. The purpose of this study was to evaluate surgical responses and outcomes...

A case series of acquired esotropia in cerebellar disease

Acquired esotropia in cerebellar disease is well described but under-recognised. The pathogenesis of cerebellar esotropia is controversial. It is suggested it may be a result of disruption to central vestibular pathways. This article reports a case series of seven adults...

Outcomes of strabismus surgery for TED

This study investigated the surgical outcome according to the initial postoperative angle of deviation after strabismus surgery in patients with hypotropia and esotropia who had thyroid eye disease (TED). The study included 78 patients with mean age of 53.4 ±9.5...

Early structural and functional retinal changes in intermittent exotropia

This study aimed to evaluate and compare spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD OCT) and electrophysiological measures in patients with intermittent exotropia and healthy controls, to outline changes in retinal and optic nerve structure and function. This was a cross-sectional...

Surgical outcomes for constant and intermittent exotropia

This study evaluated the surgical results for constant and intermittent exotropia to investigate the factors that might influence the surgical results in a Scandinavian population. This was a retrospective study from 2011-2015 during which time 633 patients had strabismus surgery...
