PURPOSE Myelomeningocele is one of the most common birth defects. It is associated with severe neurological deficiencies, and ocular changes, such as strabismus, are very common. The purpose of this study was to describe indications for strabismus surgery in patients with myelomeningocele and to evaluate the results achieved with surgical correction. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed record...

purpose: to evaluate demographic and ocular features, etiologies and outcomes of surgery in patients with sensory strabismus as well as to detect factors influencing the type of deviation and outcomes. methods: one hundred and seventy-seven patients with strabismus related to low vision included in this interventional case series. data related to demographic features, visual acuity, refraction,...

Abstract Background Strabismus is the leading risk factor for amblyopia, which should be early detected minimized visual impairment. However, traditional school screening strabismus can challenged due to several factors, most notably training, mobility and cost. The purpose of our study evaluate feasibility using a smartphone application in vision detection strabismus. Methods beta application,...

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...

In a prospective, population-based cohort study, the authors investigated the effect of in-utero exposure to maternal smoking and consumption of alcohol, coffee, and tea on the risk of strabismus. They reviewed medical records for children in the Danish National Birth Cohort identified through national registers as possibly having strabismus. Relative risk estimates were adjusted for year of bi...

PURPOSE To evaluate differences in self-identity in patients diagnosed with strabismus, patients who underwent strabismus surgery, and healthy control individuals. METHODS Self-identity testing was done during a military service physical examination. There were three subject groups: subjects with strabismus (group 1), subjects who had undergone corrective strabismus surgery (group 2), and sub...

PURPOSE We sought to describe the change in ocular alignment at 2 years after treatment of amblyopia in children younger than 7 years of age at enrollment. METHODS A randomized clinical trial of patching versus atropine for 6 months followed by standard clinical care for 18 months was conducted in 357 children with anisometropic, strabismic, or combined amblyopia (20/40-20/100) whose ages ran...

BACKGROUND Although the prevalence of strabismus is 2% to 5% in European-based and African-American populations, little is known about the prevalence of strabismus in Native-American populations. We report the prevalence of strabismus in children who are members of a Native-American tribe with a high prevalence of astigmatism. METHODS Subjects were 594 children enrolled in Head Start and 315 ...
