This study aimed to define potential factors that influence the perceived urgency of strabismus surgery by ophthalmologists. This was a survey study which comprised questions regarding demographics of the ophthalmology respondents and a ranking of eight photos of adults with...

Comparison of bupivacaine injection vs. mini-tenotomy for small angle deviations

Bupivacaine hydrochloride is an aminoacyltype local anaesthetic. Injection into extraocular muscles elicits a myotoxic response destroying striated muscle fibres but sparing satellite cells, nerves and vessels. Preserved satellite cells proliferate to form new muscle fibres, causing muscle hypertrophy and greater...

General population perceptions of severity of strabismus vs. angle of deviation and gender

The authors investigate whether the potential bias of gender, type of deviation, or size of deviation affected how strabismus was perceived among a general adult population. Eight photos were generated (head shots) of white people aged 25–30 years – purposive...

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...

Re-evaluation of virtual reality visual field testing

This study evaluated an updated testing algorithm to determine its dynamic range, and to assess if this produced a suitable central hill of vision, and to evaluate test-retest reproducibility in healthy children. This was a prospective study of children with...

Long-term motor and sensory outcomes after surgery for high AC/A ratio esotropia

This study reports the long-term ocular alignment and sensory outcomes after medial rectus recession for high accommodative convergence to accommodation (AC/A) ratio esotropia with a minimum postoperative follow-up of five years. The study included 34 patients (16 male); 31 had...
