Case report review of children with septo-optic dysplasia and optic nerve hypoplasia
Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) and optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) cause congenital visual impairment. Their aetiology is mostly unknown. The authors aim was to investigate the prevalence of specified ophthalmological features in patients with these disorders. These features included impaired visual acuity,...
Surgical technique combining vertical transposition and horizontal plication for mixed deviations
A retrospective case series, assessed adult cases with horizontal and vertical strabismus who had undergone unilateral vertical transposition of the horizontal rectus muscles during a recession-plication over a three-year period. A single surgeon performed all 15 procedures. Postoperative measurements were...
Saccadic measurements in intermittent exotropia vs fusional amplitude
The authors investigated the correlation between fusional convergence amplitude and saccades during the shift from exotropia to binocular fixation during the cover / uncover test. This was an observational study of 15 patients (six female, nine male) with intermittent exotropia....
Review of bupivacaine use in treatment of strabismus
This review aimed to assess the applications of bupivacaine (B) in the non-surgical treatment of strabismus in human and animal studies. Animal studies show that singly-innervated fibres with low concentrations of mitochondria and developed sarcoplasmic reticulum are more affected by...

Combined in-office and home-based eccentric viewing training for central vision loss
This retrospective study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of an eccentric viewing training (EVT) programme delivered in a real-world setting (home exercises) by combining a traditional EVT technique with biofeedback training using microperimetry. The authors investigated potential relationships between visual...
