Purpose: To evaluate the effect of tenotomy on visual function and eye movement records in patients with infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) without abnormal head posture (AHP) and strabismus Methods: A prospective interventional case-series of patients with INS with no AHP or strabismus. Patients underwent 4-horizontal muscle tenotomy. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and eye movement record...

PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of using the intraoperative adjustable suture method with anesthesia induced by intravenously administered propofol for strabismus surgery. METHODS Seven adult patients (mean age, 29.7 +/- 18.5 years) with different types of strabismus were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent full ophthalmological and general medical examinations bef...

A longitudinal study of ocular refraction, position, and fixation was performed in children with a family history of strabismus. The children were examined at regular intervals between 3 months and 4 years of age, and the results are discussed in terms of changes in refraction between different ages and correlations between refraction and development of strabismus and amblyopia. Six of 34 child...

Strabismus may result in impaired stereopsis, diplopia, undesirable appearance, amblyopia and negative psychological impact. This study provides epidemiological and surgical outcome information about patients attending University College Hospital Galway requiring strabismus surgery. We report a retrospective analysis of 75 consecutive patients, who underwent horizontal strabismus surgery. Sixty...

PURPOSE To perform linkage analysis on an inbred family with members who exhibit different phenotypic forms of childhood strabismus. METHODS Prospective clinical examination and linkage analysis. RESULTS three of the ten siblings and their cousin each had a different phenotypic form of childhood strabismus: infantile esotropia with convergence excess, esotropia associated with anisometropic...

Strabismus affects approximately 4% of the adult population and can cause substantial physical disturbance and changes to appearance. This article aims to examine the impact of strabismus in adults both with and without diplopia, focusing primarily on quality of life (QoL). We highlight the value of measuring QoL, assess the ways in which it can be measured, and the impact the disease, diplopia...

IMPORTANCE Binocular summation (BiS), or improvement in visual acuity using binocular vision compared with the better eye alone, is diminished in patients with strabismus. However, it is still not known how strabismus surgery affects BiS. OBJECTIVE To determine whether BiS improves after strabismus surgery. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Prospective study of 97 patients undergoing strabi...

Background: In 1991, Wright described a superior oblique expander procedure for browns syndrome and superior overaction with good results. Originally, this procedure has been performed with silicone band expander. The aim of this study was to report the results of treatment of a series of patients with A-pattern strabismus associated with overacting superior oblique muscle using the fascia lata...

Methods A retrospective medical chart review was conducted on 131 with presented consecutively to single institution during 6-year period. The main outcome measure sign(s) disease. Results Of retinoblastoma, 88 unilateral disease and 43 bilateral (mean ages: 22...
