Air tamponade in pars plana vitrectomy for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment repair

The authors report a study aimed to establish the use of air as a tamponade agent for primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) treatment, regardless of the position or the number of retinal breaks. Two hundred and thirty-six eyes of 230...

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...

Strabismus measurement comparisons

The authors conducted a prospective study to compare the measurements obtained by objective alternate prism and cover test (PCT) and the subjective red glass test in 72 patients aged 60 years on average and with a mean visual acuity of...

Consecutive exotropia features

This study sought to detect abnormal scleral attachment with comparison of histopathological findings in consecutive exotropia. The study also considered the success rate of medial rectus resection and advancement, dose response and evaluate potential preoperative factors that might indicate presence...

Iranian values for childhood convergence

The authors aimed to determine near point of convergence (NPC) values in a population-based study in Iranian schoolchildren with a large sample size. They explored its relation to factors such as age, gender, refractive error and near point of accommodation....

Using a fenestration technique for partially accommodative esotropia

The authors evaluate a fenestration technique which is described as a modified sutureless hang-back recession, for cases of partially accommodative esotropia, in a prospective non-controlled cohort. Children under 10-years-old with full accommodative correction and a partially accommodative esotropia between 10...

Effect of one versus 24 hours diagnostic occlusion

The purpose of this study was to compare measurements taken after one and 24 hours of diagnostic occlusion in cases of basic and divergence excess types of intermittent exotropia. This was a prospective study of 43 patients (34 females) with...

Medial rectus inferior half plication surgery for near exotropia

In this study the authors report a relatively new surgical treatment for near exotropia. The study included 17 patients: four with previous surgery and all with medial rectus injection of bupivacaine to reduce the angle of deviation. Treatment involved inferior...

Improvements in balance and postural control after strabismus surgery

The authors sought to investigate the effect of surgical correction of strabismus on dynamic balance and postural stability. They recruited 27 children (15 female, 12 male) of which 17 were esotropia and 10 exotropia (including eight intermittent types), aged 7–12...
