Background: Surgical success rate of strabismus is variable. Objective: To evaluate the outcome of monocular strabismus surgery for adults with largeangle deviation. Subjects and methods: This study was that of a retrospective interventional case series. A total of 48 consecutive adult patients with large-angle socially-noticeable strabismus underwent clinical evaluation for squint surgery. The...

Graves' orbitopathy (GO) is the most frequent and invalidating extrathyroidal expression of Graves' disease. Its incidence and prevalence are, however, low. About three quarters of Graves' patients have no GO at diagnosis, and moderate-to-severe and severe forms represent no more that 5-6% of cases. Progression to severe forms occurs rarely, but it may be caused by risk factors, the most import...

PURPOSE To analyze the effect of bilateral laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) on the accommodative convergence per unit of accommodation (AC/A) ratio in otherwise normal orthotropic myopic patients. SETTING Cornea and refractive services of a tertiary-care ophthalmic center. METHODS This prospective clinical trial consisted of 61 myopic patients who had bilateral LASIK. Those with manifes...

The cover test is done to confirm the presence of a manifest squint. The patient is asked to look at the fixation target (a flashlight should never be used as a fixation target because it fails to control accommodation—an accommodative fixation target held at 33 cm is used for near and the Snellen 6/9 visual acuity symbol is used for distance fixation). The apparently fixating eye is then cover...

To realize ground moving target indication (GMTI) for a forward-looking array, we propose a novel synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system, called rotatable cross-track interferometry SAR (Ro-XTI-SAR), for squint-looking application in this paper. By changing the angle of the cross-track baseline, the interferometry phase component of squint-looking Ro-XTI-SAR caused by the terrain height can be a...
