Diplopia after orbital decompression
This is a review of patients undergoing a balanced two-wall and fat orbital decompression to identify risk factors for new onset diplopia. Standard decompression techniques were used, but as the surgery was conducted by ENT surgeons, the medial walls were...
Results of surgery in a case of FMNS
The authors present the effects of the tenotomy and reattachment procedure on a patient with accommodative strabismus and fusion maldevelopment nystagmus syndrome (FMNS) who did not require strabismus correction. The ocular motility study of this patient allowed the opportunity to...
Paralytic strabismus in Parry-Romberg syndrome
Parry-Romberg syndrome is a progressive hemifacial atrophy with idiopathic craniofacial disorder characterised by slowly progressive atrophy of soft tissues on one side of the face. A case is presented of acquired monocular elevation deficit in a child without restrictive component....
Potential mechanism of over / under actions of inferior oblique muscles
In this paper, the authors hypothesise that fusional vergence adaptation, in patients who can fuse in at least some gaze positions, can cause curvature of the non-fixing eye movement paths of patients with apparent overaction or under action of the...
Postoperative diplopia test with BT for inferior oblique overaction
The authors evaluate a novel assessment of botulinum toxin (BT) injection into the inferior oblique (IO) as a postoperative test in those with secondary IO overaction. This was a retrospective review of 23 injections for 18 patients using 1.25U of...Eye surgeon behind destroyed Gaza hospital is honoured with a special recognition award
A Manchester-based eye surgeon who has made it his life’s mission to provide internationally-renowned eye care for the people of occupied Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem, has received a Health Champion Award from The Tropical Health & Education Trust (THET) at a special ceremony in London.Unravelling ocular motility
Ocular motility can often be a slightly abstract concept during the earlier years of ophthalmology training. A large variance on what embodies normality; mythical concepts like fusion and binocular vision, examination techniques that can be fiddly, and complex neuroanatomy all...Myasthenia Gravis Masquerading as a Third Cranial Nerve Palsy
A 65-year-old man presented with a week’s history of binocular diplopia (in all directions of gaze) and a right partial ptosis. He was systemically well. His past medical history was unremarkable except for vitiligo. At presentation acuity was 6/6 bilaterally....Sixth nerve palsy versus decompensating distance esophoria
Orthoptists see a wide range of conditions that can range from reduced binocular single vision (BSV) that may be solved with exercises, to more extreme neurogenic cases requiring further intervention. Because of this variety, it is important to be able...
Surgical outcome reporting for exotropic DRS
The authors report the surgical outcomes of patients with exotropic Duane’s retraction syndrome (DRS) in a retrospective study of 73 patients; 67 unilateral cases. Patients had a mean age at surgery of 14.11 years (range 2-33). The left eye was...
Diplopia after cataract surgery – risk factors
The risk factors for binocular diplopia after uncomplicated cataract surgery in adults were studied to analyse the patterns of ocular motility and clinical causes. This was a retrospective review of 40 patients; 25 female. Onset of diplopia was at a...
