PURPOSE To evaluate the rate and pattern of new-onset diplopia after inferior-medial wall orbital decompression in thyroid-related orbitopathy (TRO) patients. METHODS Medical records of TRO patients who underwent orbital floor and medial wall decompression at the Goldschleger Eye Institute, Sheba Medical Center between 1/1986 and 12/2007 were reviewed and analyzed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES pri...

Ocular alignment and saccades were studied in seven patients with trochlear nerve pareses, before and after strabismus surgery. Prior to surgery, a position-dependent vertical ocular misalignment was present, and downward saccades were hypometric in the paretic eye. Strabismus surgery reduced the magnitude and position-dependence of the static misalignment. Saccade conjugacy improved in the pat...

It is commonly accepted that albino patients with strabismus rarely achieve binocularity and depth perception after strabismus surgery. The presence of retino-geniculo-cortical misrouting, a hallmark of the visual system in albinism, does not necessarily cause total loss of binocular vision, however, not even in albino patients with strabismus. Recently some degrees of stereopsis were reported ...

PURPOSE To measure the incidence and evaluate treatment of pyogenic granulomas after strabismus surgery. DESIGN Retrospective observational case series. PARTICIPANTS Four hundred seventy-nine strabismus surgical patients. METHODS Incidence was determined by review of 472 consecutive patients who underwent strabismus surgery from January 6, 1999 to December 29, 2000. Outcomes were evaluate...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the incidence of persistent intractable diplopia in adults undergoing surgery for long-standing, constant strabismus and to define tests that may be useful for identifying patients at risk for developing this complication. METHODS A retrospective medical record review of adults without diplopia undergoing surgery for constant strabismus. RESULTS Medical records of ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of strabismus surgery on quality of life (QoL) in Graves' orbitopathy (GO) patients. DESIGN Prospective study of case series. METHODS Consecutive GO-patients who were scheduled for their first strabismus surgery were included in the study. The patients completed the GO-QoL questionnaire within 3 months before the surgery and 2-4 months after the surgery. ...

The development of locoregional anesthesia in ophthalmological surgery has diminished anesthetic risks and facilitated faster post-surgery recovery, both of which are very important in ambulatory surgery. Even though in many health centers surgical correction of strabismus is performed under general anesthesia, in recent years an increasing number of ophthalmologists execute the operation with ...
