OBJECTIVE To assess whether outcomes of strabismus surgery are improved by using the adjustable suture technique and to determine which subgroups of strabismus patients benefit most from the adjustable suture technique. DESIGN A retrospective chart review. PARTICIPANTS A total of 535 adults who underwent strabismus surgery between 1989 and 2010. METHODS Success was defined as ≤10 prism di...

BACKGROUND The impact of strabismus on visual function, self-image, self-esteem, and social interactions might decrease health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and clinical applications of two strabismus-specific HRQoL questionnaires in the cultural context of China. METHODS The Chinese versions of the Adult Strabismus Quality of Life Q...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review includes updated information regarding adjustable suture strabismus surgery for children and adults. RECENT FINDINGS Main themes in the literature reviewed in this article include the appropriate timing for the adjustment technique, appropriate anesthesia, recent modifications in adjustable strabismus surgery techniques, and future developments. SUMMARY Improve...

Purpose: To investigate the clinical significance of ocular torsion in children by analyzing associated ophthalmic diseases.Methods: Fundus images were used to detect one or both eyes 83 aged 2-12 years at a pediatric ophthalmology clinic. In cases with torsion, diseases, including strabismus, amblyopia, and refractive errors, investigated.Results: Among patients, 59 (71.2%) 45 (54.2%) had stra...

Strabismus is one of the common vision disorders. For people with mild strabismus, many evidences showed that doing eye muscle exercise would be very helpful to straighten the weak eyes and improve eye performance eventually. In this paper, we propose aneye-trackingaided training system for strabismus therapy. We aim at helping strabismus people train eye muscle movements with a real-time train...

Age related binocular vision disorders (age related strabismus) could include all types of spontaneous strabismus appearing along the lifetime, which are directly connected with the aging process. Neurological strabismus is excluded. Functional and structural changes related to the aging process can induce phoria decompensation, convergence insufficiency decompensation and new onset strabismus ...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the aetiological factors underlying strabismus. We undertook a large cohort study to investigate perinatal risk factors for strabismus, overall and by subtype. METHODS Orthoptists reviewed ophthalmological records for Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC) children examined for strabismus in hospital ophthalmology departments or by ophthalmologists in private pra...

IMPORTANCE In strabismus, the fixating eye conveys the direction of gaze while the fellow eye points at a peripheral location in space. The stability of the eyes may be reduced by the absence of a common target. OBJECTIVE To quantify the stability of eye position in strabismus and to measure variability in the ocular deviation. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS From 2010 to 2014, a prospect...

From a study of a large number of brothers and sisters suffering from concomitant squint, the following data were obtained: (1) 42-9% of the patients showed congenital strabismus. (2) In 96-5% of the sibs strabismus was of the same type. (3) The presence of a significant refractive error occurred in 82-8% of the patients. (4) In all twins strabismus appeared at the same age in both twins, and t...

Reports are conflicting on the presence of increased drift in amblyopic eyes. Furthermore, the individual effects of either amblyopia or strabismus alone on ocular drift have not been systematically investigated. We therefore used a photoelectric method to record horizontal eye position during monocular and binocular fixation in patients having amblyopia without strabismus, intermittent strabis...
