Consecutive exotropia overcorrection
The authors evaluate the postoperative outcomes of unilateral medial rectus recession surgery for the treatment of persisting consecutive esotropia >10PD more than six months in 16 patients (three adults and 13 children) who were overcorrected after initial surgery for intermittent...
Genetic profiles of primary 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...
Use of Strabocheck to measure angle of deviation
Strabocheck (SK) is a free to access software and is a measurement of deviation angle based on the corneal light reflex in monocular and binocular photographs uploaded to the website. The purpose of this study was to evaluate SK in...
BT outcomes for accommodative esotropia
The purpose of this study was to study the effect of Botulinum Toxin (BT) in refractive and non-refractive accommodative esotropia unresponsive to glasses and poor compliance with glasses. This was a retrospective study of 114 patients who had BT for...Understanding the inequalities of ophthalmic care for Indigenous people in a first world country
Aboriginal Australians have faced numerous challenges over the past centuries. Here in this article, Edward Saxton highlights why there are inequalities of ophthalmic care in Australia and why this has led to increased levels of blindness in Aboriginal people relative...
Near cue responses
The authors tested subjects with esotropia (13 constant esotropia, 16 fully accommodative esotropia and eight convergence excess) versus age-matched controls and 27 young adult emmetropes for response profiles in comparison to matched control groups. They found responses to the all-cue...Life as a Global Citizen Consultant Ophthalmologist: a personal view of working in Scotland and Tanzania
Global Citizen post - a new challenge I was looking for a new challenge. I had been in the same consultant post with a subspecialty interest in paediatrics and strabismus for 17 years and was rattling around in an empty...
Early postoperative angle for prediction of surgical success for exotropia
In this study, the authors assessed the relationship between the initial postoperative deviation and surgical outcomes in adult exotropia undergoing unilateral lateral rectus recession with medial rectus resection. The study included 93 patients (51 female); 26 with residual exo, 53...Ophthalmology in ancient india, Sushruta’s time and the modern era
While reading an article related to the history of Indian ophthalmology, I came across this description of a surgical procedure: “The doctor warmed the patient’s eye with the breath of his mouth. He rubbed the closed eye of the patient...
