Spectacle correction of unusually hypermetropic refractions from age 1 year did not reduce the incidence of squint or amblyopia, nor did it lead to a reduction in the severity of residual amblyopia after subsequent occlusion.

purpose: oculocardiac reflex (ocr) is a frequent event during strabismus surgery. the aim of this study is to compare the preventive effect of intravenous lidocaine and hyoscine on ocr.methods: this prospective, randomized clinical trial was performed on 75 patients (5-63 years old) underwent strabismus surgery. patients divided randomly into three groups. intravenous hyoscine (0.2 mg/kg), lido...

Gene products provided by the mother to the embryo determine the body axes in most animals. A recent study in zebrafish proposes that the TGFss signal Squint is one such factor.

In this paper, methods to separate the ionospheric and the scattering contributions on SAR data are proposed, and the dynamic components of the ionosphere and the lithosphere are quantitatively retrieved. These methods exploit changes of squint and time in the azimuth subbands.

Follow-up of a series of 221 children identified by the present methods of screening, and presenting consecutively with squint and/or amblyopia, shows that there has been no demonstrable improvement in the overall incidence and severity of amblyopia 3 or more years later. A new approach to the problem is required, and this might be based on the identification and treatment of amblyopia during t...

Sensory adaptations to squint are considered in the light of present knowledge of the visual sensory system. A model to assist our understanding of the clinical presentation of sensory adaptation is proposed. Suppression and abnormal correspondence are considered as anomalies of different parts of the sensory system, and the interplay of these adaptations is reviewed.

PURPOSE To elucidate the genetic or environmental background for clinical features in the three major types of comitant strabismus. METHODS Interview based on a questionnaire asking background factors such as family history of strabismus and abnormalities in pregnancy and delivery was conducted with 101 consecutive patients with infantile esotropia (5-180 months of age), 83 with accommodative...
