This prospective study evaluated superior rectus recession with Y-splitting for treatment of dissociated vertical deviation (DVD) looking at aspects of efficacy and complications. The study included 12 patients; 9 males and 3 females with mean age of 14.5 ±13.31 years...

Difference in anterior ciliary vessels across horizontal and vertical rectus muscles

In order to obtain more information about anterior ciliary vessels (ACVs), the authors compared bilateral ACVs of the lateral and medial recti muscles and intraoperative observations of the difference of AVC preservation between the lateral rectus and other rectus muscles....

Prevalence of strabismus, nystagmus and risk factors in children and adolescents born preterm with and without retinopathy of prematurity

This is a retrospective study of 949 children (11.21 +/-3.92 years, 495 females). They were divided into 6 groups based on gestational age (GA) with/without retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and with/without treatment of ROP, alongside full-term babies as a control...

Long-term risk calculation of retinal detachment in childhood myopia

The aim was to examine the risk of retinal detachment in children with myopia over a 10-year follow-up period. This was a retrospective cohort study using the TriNet X platform which houses anonymised electronic patient records from 180 healthcare groups....

Influence of hormone treatment on choroidal development in isolated growth hormone deficiency patients

This study evaluated retinal parameters and choroidal structure in children with isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD) to compare them with healthy children and to find out if these parameters are affected by recombinant human growth hormone treatment. This was an...

Decisions on correction of low, moderate and high hypermetropic in exotropia

The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the management strategies and outcomes for hypermetropic patients with exotropia, and to determine implications of refractive correction decisions in optimising clinical outcomes. 10 studies met the inclusion criteria from 6 countries...

Use of absorbable vs non-absorbable sutures for inferior rectus recessions in vertical strabismus

This study aimed to examine outcomes of inferior rectus recession in vertical deviations using absorbable (AS) vs non-absorbable sutures (NAS). This was a retrospective study cohort of 32 patients (18 female and 14 males): 26 with AS and 6 with...

Outcomes of primary vertical strabismus in Duane retraction syndrome

In this study, the authors report the clinical profile and surgical outcomes in patients with Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) who presented with significant primary position hypertropia. This was a retrospective study of 590 patients with DRS, of which 18 had...

Reliability and repeatability of Harms tangent screen measurements

This study investigated the intraobserver reliability and repeatability of the Harms tangent screen (HTS) in patients with diplopia due to concomitant, paralytic or restrictive strabismus in a prospective study of 58 patients (46.6% female). Mean age was 54 ±17.12 years,...
