Management of large hypertropia due to lost inferior rectus

This case report outlines the management strategy for a 37-year-old male who suffered a penetrating left orbital injury with rupture of the inferior rectus muscle, optic nerve avulsion and vertical deviation of about 90PD. On orbit exploration, the inferior rectus...

Detection of SO tendon abnormality versus atrophy

This study aimed to evaluate patterns of binocular misalignment in primary gaze, lateral and vertical gaze, and head tilt in patients showing head-tilt dependent hypertropia associated with discontinued superior oblique (SO) tendon but without SO muscle atrophy, versus patients with...

Surgical management and review of congenital inferior rectus dysgenesis

Three cases are presented of congenital inferior rectus (IR) dysgenesis causing hypertropia. Case 1 was a two-year-old female with intermittent vertical strabismus of 20PD and -2 limitation on depression, worse in abduction. MRI imaging showed a hypoplastic IR. Following surgery,...

Comparison of two surgical procedure options for unilateral superior oblique palsy

This study compares two surgical options for management of unilateral superior oblique palsy with angles >20PD. Group 1 underwent one vertical muscle surgery – ipsilateral inferior oblique anterior transposition plus resection (IOATR). Group 2 underwent two vertical muscles surgery –...

Associations of esotropia with shunts

This study explored the characteristics and outcomes of children with esotropia and ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt placement due to hydrocephalus. The authors conducted a retrospective study of 16 patients (nine female, seven male) aged three months to 5.6 years (mean 17...

Postoperative astigmatism

The authors investigate the short and long-term postoperative refractive effects of medial rectus recession on the involved eye and explain the detectable effects in detail by the results of vector analysis in 52 eyes and 32 patients. The subjects had...

Ametropia prevalence and types in China

This study aimed to determine the prevalence and type of ametropia in Yunnan multi-ethnic regions. The study included 24,296 students aged 7-12 years (90.99%) in the study area of five different regions. There were 51% males and 32.2% minorities. Ametropia...

Spot screener versus Grand Seiko measurements

The authors aimed to determine repeatability and reproducibility of refractive values and pupil size measured using the Spot Vision Screener and to compare its measurement values with the Grand Seiko autorefractor. This was a cross-sectional study of 22 healthy adults;...

Outcomes of augmented surgery for exotropia

This was a prospective study to assess patients with basic type intermittent exotropia of 15-45PD in angle and who were operated with augmented bilateral lateral rectus recessions with conjunctival recession, and followed postoperatively for six months. The study included 15...

Long-term improvement of stereopsis in intermittent refractive esotropia

This was a retrospective study to review the records of patients with refractive accommodative esotropia (RAET) to determine long-term stereoacuity (SA) improvement in those that showed initial poor or no stereopsis. The study included 79 patients; 54% male and mean...

Medium-term outcomes following photo screening

A photo-screening project of preverbal children was conducted in 2016 in Portugal consisting of enrolment of two-year-old children and referral of these if having a positive screen to paediatric ophthalmology plus a screen of four-year-old children who missed or had...

Management of squint with near-distance angle disparity

These are a group of strabismus disorders where the angle of misalignment is different between near and distance. The focus of this article will be on the patients where the angle for near exceeds the distance angle by more than...
