Stereopsis in late strabismus correction

This prospective study evaluated effect of successful surgical alignment on improvement of stereopsis in 34 adults (15 female, 19 male) with childhood strabismus to determine the prognostic factors for sensory outcome. Fourteen cases were esotropic and 20 exotropic with mean...

Outcome of three to four muscle surgery for XT

This study evaluates the short-term outcomes of surgery involving three or four horizontal rectus muscles in patients with exotropia >40 prism dioptres. The authors evaluate the role of adjustable sutures and identify prognostic factors influencing surgical outcome. They assess the...

Effectiveness of Eagles Eye Mobile
