Amblyopia and strabismus in congenital ptosis

Strabismus, anisometropia, and amblyopia.

EVIDENCE will be presented in this communication to support the hypothesis that anisometropia per se does not produce strabismus, but that, for hypermetropes, the refraction of the better eye is an important factor. Further, the clinical entity of anisometropic amblyopia and its treatment will be discussed. Finally, some comments will be made on optical correction in anisometropia. The case rec...

Ptosis and Strabismus Surgery Performed Simultaneously.

Evidence Base for Strabismus & Amblyopia

A review of ophthalmology surgical and non-surgical interventions for intermittent exotropia conducted for the Cochrane Database (Hatt and Gnanaraj, 2006) concluded that the available medical literature consists mainly of retrospective case reviews which are difficult to reliably interpret and analyse. The one randomised trial included found unilateral surgery more effective than bilateral surg...

Experimental analysis of amblyopia and strabismus.

In the past few years physiological experiments have brought us a little closer to an understanding of some forms of developmental amblyopia-deficits of visual acuity of central, not retinal, origin, which are not correctable by optical means. While amblyopia has become a catch-all term that covers the symptoms of a multitude of disorders, there are certain stereotyped experimental procedures t...

Strabismus and Congenital Cataracts

Purpose: To study the prevalence, characteristics, indications for and results of strabismus treatment secondary to congenital cataracts. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective study of 21 cases from 29 with congenital cataracts with strabismus (unilateral in 11 and bilateral in 10 cases). In 20 patients surgery on the cataracts was performed, with an intraocular lens inserted in 15 pa...
