IMBALANCE OF OCULAR MUSCLES

Tests and Studies of the Ocular Muscles

and interesting book; and they will not be disappointed. The problems dealt with are admittedly difficult and complex, but the author's clearness and precision render them comparatively simple ; his happy and well-chosen expressions, his ingeniousmethods and luminous suggestions, convert a somewhat dry and tedious subject into a most interesting study. We know of no book where so good a descrip...

Paralysis of Ocular Muscles following Spinal Anaesthesia.

AT a large military hospital in England, between January and July, 1927, I examined five cases of paralysis of one or other of the recti muscles, of the eye following on the use of stovaine as a spinal anaesthetic. Although stovaine has been extensively used as a spinal anaesthetic in this hospital since 1915 there is no record of any case of paralysis of ocular muscles following its use, with ...

Silicone implant to extra-ocular muscles.

A PROCEDURE which would allow the lengthening of an extra-ocular muscle beyond that which is usually obtained from the conventional surgical techniques would be of definite advantage in large-angle strabismus and strabismus fixus. Since silicone rubber is well tolerated by ocular and non-ocular tissues, the implantation of a small, thin sheet of this material to lengthen an extra-ocular muscle ...

Extraconjunctival approach to the extra-ocular muscles.

SINCE contact lenses have been used for monocular conditions of impaired vision in which the eye is divergent, e.g., aphakia and corneal scars, it has been found that although vision could be improved the affected eye remained divergent. Some of these eyes, i.e. those with small degrees of divergence, attained single binocular vision with orthoptic treatment; others with larger angles had to be...
