Factors associated with inferior oblique transposition surgery and occurrence of anti-elevation syndrome

The purpose of this study was to correlate the frequency of anti-elevation syndrome (AES) with the magnitude of the anterior transposition of the inferior oblique. This was a retrospective study of 312 eyes of 170 patients. Mean age at surgery...

Closed-chamber haptic re-externalisation for posteriorly displaced sclerotomy and inadequate haptic tuck in glued posterior chamber intraocular lenses

This technique (online video http://jcrsjournal.org) emphasises the importance of both symmetrical and sufficient anterior placement of sclerotomies to externalise an adequate length of the haptics, which in turn provides good centration and stability of the intra-ocular lens (IOL). The authors...

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...

IO overaction surgery

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two surgical methods on the correction of inferior oblique overaction (IOOA). This was a retrospective study of 99 eyes of 56 patients; 47 myectomy and 52 anterior transposition procedures. Mean age was...

IO over action surgery

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the two surgical methods on the correction of inferior oblique over action (IOOA). This was a retrospective study of 99 eyes of 56 patients; 47 myectomy and 52 anterior transposition procedures. Mean...

Extraocular muscle OCT

The goal was to evaluate the use of the Heidelberg anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) to image extraocular rectus muscle insertions and to expand the use of the AS-OCT to also image vertical rectus muscles. The authors evaluated inter...

Association of astigmatism and inferior oblique over action

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between primary inferior oblique over action and astigmatism along the axis on the overacting muscle. The authors explored the postoperative change in axis of astigmatism and cylinder power in a...

Augmented surgery for monocular elevation deficiency

The outcomes are described for augmented lateral rectus superior transposition in cases of acquired monocular elevation deficiency (MED) associated with large hypotropia in primary gaze. The lateral rectus was transposed superiorly and reinserted on sclera between the temporal margin of...
