Congenital monocular strabismus fixus
The authors describe three cases of congenital monocular strabismus fixus with limited ocular motility in all directions. These were three boys aged two, two and 10 years. The right eye was affected in all with primary deviation angles of 30PD...
Single muscle surgery for hypertropia
The authors undertook partial tenotomies combined with graded marginal recession of single vertical rectus muscles to treat small angle hypertropia in four adults with fusion potential. They report dose response, surgical technique and outcomes. Dose response closely matched the theoretical...
Visual consequences of congenital hypothyroidism
This study evaluated the frequencies of ophthalmic abnormalities in Turkish children with a history of congenital hypothyroidism in a retrospective study of 121 children. Median age was nine months (one to 216) at initial ophthalmic examination. Forty children were ex-premature...Refractive surprise after cataract surgery caused by posterior capsular striae
Cataract removal with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in current clinical practice [1,2]. New microsurgical techniques and refined IOL power calculations allow excellent refractive outcomes. Refractive surprise following cataract surgery is uncommon [1-3]...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...
Iranian prevalence of strabismus and heterophoria
Previous studies in parts of Iran report a childhood prevalence of strabismus of 1.2 to 2.3%. The authors aimed to evaluate the prevalence of strabismus in underserved rural areas of Iran in all age groups. In 2015 they conducted a...The results of the last survey Feb23

BT for Duane’s retraction syndrome esotropia
The aim of the study was to evaluate the correction of esotropia and face turn due to Duane’s retraction syndrome (DRS) type I. The mean age was 21 months (12-36 months). The mean dose of botulinum toxin (BT) was 5.6±1.8IU...
Surgery for lost inferior rectus muscle
This prospective study evaluated the impact of simultaneous ipsilateral superior rectus (SR) recession and superior rectus (IO) anterior transposition on the primary position alignment in six patients with traumatic loss of the inferior rectus (IR) muscle. Five males and one...
Surgery for myopic strabismus
The outcomes are reported of muscle belly union technique with medial rectus recession for cases with restriction according to the results of intraoperative forced duction testing (FDT). Surgery involved isolation of the lateral and superior recti muscles, which were separated,...
Predictive measure for alignment stability
The authors aimed to determine whether a correlation exists between the immediate operative alignment and future alignment in fixed suture strabismus surgery. This study enrolled 54 patients; seven were lost to follow-up so results are presented for 47 cases. Mean...
