purpose: to evaluate the effect of limited dissection of tenon sheath on the outcome of horizontal strabismus surgery. methods: patients with horizontal strabismus, aged between six and 50 years, were enrolled in this non-randomized study. patients with pattern and vertical strabismus or a history of strabismus surgery were excluded. the strabismus surgeries consisted of bimedial recession (bmr...

Aim: To describe the development and treatment of V-pattern and bilateral over-elevation in adduction in patients with cyclic esotropia. Methods: Three patients with cyclic esotropia are described in retrospect. All patients underwent bilateral medial recession, while one patient additionally had a weakening procedure of both inferior oblique muscles. Results: All patients developed a V-pattern...

purpose: to report the rate of visual impairment in pervasive developmental disorder (pdd). methods: in this descriptive-analytic study 62 children with ppd diagnosed by a children psychiatrist were included. all subjects were evaluated for age, sex, systemic & eye conditions such as refractive errors, strabismus, oculomotor disorders, color vision, stereopsis, visual contact and fixation patte...

Background/aims: Racial variation in the pattern of strabismus is known, but few large scale studies on non-white populations are available. Furthermore, longitudinal change in this pattern within a local setting has not been well documented in the past. This study aims to support the clinical impression that exotropia is more common in Chinese patients, and that the proportion of patients with...

PURPOSE To develop a standardized reasoning for the evaluation of Purkinje I and IV Reflection Pattern data in primary, secondary, and tertiary positions of gaze in the diagnosis of strabismus with a mathematical approach. To demonstrate the applicability of certain mathematical relations and the appropriate graphic representation of computed ocular alignment data. METHODS Starting from the k...

Objectives: Manifest strabismus in children is a major cause of suboptimum visual experience with attendant impact on their development. This study aims to determine the pattern manifest among attending Paediatric Ophthalmology clinic University Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Rivers State. Materials and method: One hundred twenty-five (125) children, aged 6 months 18 years were ...

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...

INTRODUCTION In congenital strabismus, sensory adaptations occur hampering the correct development of normal binocular vision. The aim of this study is to investigate if patients with congenital or early onset exotropic or esotropic strabismus adopt different walking strategies with respect to healthy subjects. Our hypothesis is that the abnormal binocular cooperation, occurring in patients wit...
