Five adults with acute extraocular muscle palsies followed by limited recovery of muscle function were treated with injections of botulinum toxin A to the ipsilateral antagonist of the affected muscle. Three were cases of unilateral sixth nerve palsy, one of bilateral sixth nerve palsy, and one of third nerve palsy. After a period of paralysis, during which the strabismus was overcorrected, the...

It is commonly accepted that albino patients with strabismus rarely achieve binocularity and depth perception after strabismus surgery. The presence of retino-geniculo-cortical misrouting, a hallmark of the visual system in albinism, does not necessarily cause total loss of binocular vision, however, not even in albino patients with strabismus. Recently some degrees of stereopsis were reported ...

In the mouse, Frizzled3 (Fz3) and Frizzled6 (Fz6) have been shown previously to control axonal growth and guidance in the CNS and hair patterning in the skin, respectively. Here, we report that Fz3 and Fz6 redundantly control neural tube closure and the planar orientation of hair bundles on a subset of auditory and vestibular sensory cells. In the inner ear, Fz3 and Fz6 proteins are localized t...

 Strabismus merupakan kondisi dimana terdapat ketidaksejajaran antar kedua mata. Salah satu mata dapat terlihat lurus menuju suatu objek, sedangkan yang lain mengarah ke dalam, luar, atas, ataupun bawah. Kondisi ini mempengaruhi kualitas hidup pasien secara negatif. Namun, hingga saat ini, penelitian terkait strabismus maupun di Indonesia, khususnya Bali masih sangat jarang dilakuk...

Strabismus, more commonly known across-eyed or wall-eyed, is a vision condition in which a person cannot align both eyes simultaneously under normal conditions. One or both of the eyes may turn in, out, up or down. An eye turn may be constant (when the eye turns all of the time) or intermittent (turning only some of the time). Strabismus typically involves a lack of coordination between the ext...

PURPOSE To investigate the rate of spontaneous resolution of strabismus in patients with cortical visual impairment (CVI) at a single center over a 10-year period and to evaluate the success rate of strabismus surgery. METHODS The medical records of patients with CVI and strabismus seen between October 2003 and October 2013 were reviewed retrospectively. Patients were classified into 4 outcom...

ABNORMAL retinal correspondence has been a vexed subject since the physiology of binocular vision and strabismus have been discussed, but it seems to be generally accepted that it is an adaptation of the sensory relations of the retina to the squinting position. Normal retinal correspondence is present when any pair of corresponding points have a common visual direction; abnormal retinal corres...

X lasticity in the visual cortex underlies amblyopia, which may result from strabismus, anisometropia, astigmatism, form deprivation from cataract, or other optical defects in the eyes. This is sensory-dependent or experience-dependent plasticity, in which optical or motor changes lead to an abnormal pattern of signals that reach the visual cortex. The abnormal pattern of signals in turn leads ...

Strabismus is a condition in which the two eyes are not parallel but one is deviated with respect to the other, horizontally and/or vertically. The cause of childhood strabismus is generally unknown, although weakness of one or several of the eye muscles may be present as will be shown in the case presentation below. The most common type of strabismus, without any obvious dysfunction of the eye...

The causes of manifest (strabismus) and latent (phoria) misalignment of the visual axes are incompletely understood. We calculated genetic and environmental contributions to strabismus based upon a critical review and quantitative meta-analysis of previous strabismus twin studies (n=3418 twin pairs) and calculated contributions to phoria based upon a new twin study (n=307 twin pairs). Our resul...
