Hyperopic refractive errors as a prognostic factor in intermittent exotropia surgery

Peripheral refractive errors in myopic, emmetropic, and hyperopic young subjects.

To gain more insight into the relationship between foveal and peripheral refractive errors in humans, spheres, cylinders, and their axes were binocularly measured across the visual field in myopic, emmetropic, and hyperopic groups of young subjects. Both automated infrared photorefraction (the "PowerRefractor"; www. plusoptix.de) and a double-pass technique were used because the PowerRefractor ...

Consecutive esotropia following surgery for intermittent exotropia.

[Binocular vision following refractive surgery in hyperopic patients].

PURPOSE To evaluate the changes in binocular vision and ocular motility in hyperopic patients undergoing refractive surgery. METHODS Prospective study of 31 consecutive patients who underwent bilateral refractive surgery for hyperopia between May 1999 and February 2002. The examination included best-corrected visual acuity, cycloplegic refraction, ocular motility, fusion at distance, stereops...

Acute Phase Reactants as a Prognostic Factor in Acute Stroke

Introduction: Elevated levels of CRP are present among patients at risk for further first-ever myocardial infarction and stroke. It has been shown that after ischemic stroke, increased levels of CRP are associated with unfavorable outcomes. Methods: From 120 patients admitted to the emergency unit of our hospital with the diagnosis of stroke CRP, D-dimer and ferritin level was measured and the ...
