Adjustable suture in strabismus surgery is a way to get accurate alignment of the eyes after operation. This technique is used in cooperative patients, being either adults or children. We report the result of this technique in 120 patients, 70 with esotropia and 50 exotropia. The amount of deviation was between 20 and 60 prismdiopters. The patients were mostly adults and teenagers. and the...

The goal of this study was to examine latency of horizontal eye movements in the natural space (saccades, vergence, and combined saccade-vergence movements) in children with early onset convergent or divergent strabismus. Ten children were tested (8-11 years old): three with divergent strabismus, seven with convergent strabismus. A paradigm was used to elicit pure lateral saccades at far and ne...

PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of strabismus on quality of life. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 101 individuals aged 7-67 years with strabismus. They were interviewed and made to answer a questionnaire with 20 questions intended to assess the individual's interaction with their social and working environment, sensory perception, and limitations in their daily lives. There were fi...

All the examinations were performed in schools. All students received refraction, vision and subjective refraction tests. The cover test was...

purpose : to evaluate outcome of surgically slanting extraocular muscle insertions in a and v-pattern strabismus methods : in this prospective non-randomized interventional case series, we created a slanting surgical reinsertion line with a 3- 4 mm difference between upper and lower corners of the muscles in 16 patients with a or v strabismus (v-exotropia in 10 patients, a-exotropia in 1 patien...

A standard set of clinical prism and cover tests and a recently developed photographic method were used to assess binocular alignment in ten monkeys that previously were determined to have a naturally occurring infantile strabismus. Extensive measurements of the alignment state were made for fixation attempts throughout the field of gaze. Patterns of alignment errors were examined in an attempt...

OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of and contributing factors for errors in strabismus surgery. METHODS Five hundred seventeen of 1103 strabismus surgeons (46.87%) completed a survey administered during the 2011 American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus national meeting or e-mailed to members of the association. RESULTS One hundred seventy-three strabismus surgeon...

Purpose. To evaluate the distribution pattern and changes of strabismus surgery in children based on the data collected from a local eye hospital in the south of China between 2006 and 2011. Methods. A retrospective analysis of all strabismus surgeries in children (<18 years) performed in the Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University between 2006 and 2011 using the integrated information syste...

English surgeon John Taylor attempted to perform strabismus surgery in the 18th century. The field languished until, in Germany, treatment of strabismus by cutting an extraocular muscle was proposed by Louis Stromeyer in 1838 and performed by Johann Friedrich Dieffenbach in 1839. According to traditional teaching, there has never been any proof that anyone in the United States thought of the id...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of strabismus surgery on proptosis in patients with thyroid-associated orbitopathy. METHODS The medical records of 22 consecutive patients with thyroid-associated orbitopathy undergoing strabismus surgery were reviewed. Data pertaining to the number of muscles operated on, amount of muscle recession, prior orbital decompression, and exophthalmometry were evaluat...
