Prism cover test variances
The purpose was to establish the inter-examiner variability and agreement between more than two examiners assessing children and adult patients. The study involved four experienced examiners. The alternate prism cover test (APCT) was conducted at near and distance in 41...
Amniotic membrane efficacy
This prospective randomised study evaluated the effect of amniotic membrane (AM) in reducing inflammation, fibrosis, adhesion formation and ocular movement restrictions following strabismus surgery. This study used 22 rabbits: all with superior rectus recession in both eyes with AM placed...
IR recession and prevention of lower lid retraction
The authors report the efficacy in preventing lower eyelid retraction and long-term results of a new technique of inferior rectus recession for vertical strabismus. The results for 35 patients were compared with 22 patients having conventional inferior rectus recession. Inferior...
Extraocular muscle BT after ocular pathology
Management is described for 13 patients who received inferior rectus botulinum toxin (BT) injection for vertical strabismus due to orbital pathology. Patients were aged 19-86 years, eight were female and seven were right eye injections. Orbital pathology included six with...
Effects of clonidine vs. placebo
The purpose of this study was to measure postoperative agitation using a standardised scale and evaluate whether it is reduced if given clonidine prior to strabismus surgery as compared to placebo. The scales included the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED)...
Social media use in reporting patient’s surgical experience
This study evaluated the risk of social media platforms (TikTok and Instagram) in understanding patients’ strabismus surgery experience and relative popularity of related posts. Both platforms were searched in 2022 for strabismus terms and posts were graded as positive or...
Review of amblyopia prevalence
The authors conducted this study for systematic assessment of the literature to provide an estimate of the global and regional prevalence of amblyopia, to determine the trend of its prevalence in previous years, to explore the factors contributing to differences...
Medial rectus spontaneous reattachment after surgery
The authors report necropsy findings following free tenotomy of the medial rectus (MR) muscle in six postnatal monkeys. Bilateral MR tenotomy was performed producing alternating exotropia of 30-70 degrees with no adduction beyond primary position. Over follow-up, all showed reduction...
Cluster of cyclic esotropia cases
This study reports a series of five patients with cyclic esotropia presenting within a period of 19 months in 2015-16 in one institute. Brain MRI scans were abnormal in two patients (twins) with abnormal white matter signal in the frontal...
Neuroanatomical structures and eye movements
The aim of this study was to review and critically discuss the role of ocular proprioception in oculomotor control and development of eye motility disorders. The authors considered proprioception, structure and proprioceptors of eye muscles, singly and multiply innervated muscle...
Perception of depth in 3-D media
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between clinical measures of stereoacuity and the perception of depth in 3-D entertainment media. Fifty-seven subjects aged 16-62 years with stereopsis and no strabismus were assessed. Monocular blur was used...
