AIM To investigate risk factors associated with strabismus in children born prematurely. METHODS Prospective study of all children born before 32 weeks' gestation between 1 January 1990 and 31 December 1991 in a geographically defined population of approximately 3 million in the Northern Region of the United Kingdom. All children were examined aged 2 years by the same ophthalmologist and paed...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) using a diffusion tensor imaging technique and whole-brain voxel-based analysis in patients with comitant strabismus. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 19 (nine males and ten females) patients with comitant strabismus and 19 age-, sex-, and education-matched healthy controls (HCs) underwe...

OBJECTIVE To present and evaluate a new technique that allows the second-stage suture adjustment in strabismus surgery to be skipped or delayed if the immediate postoperative alignment is satisfactory. METHODS The "short tag noose" technique replaces long sutures with short tags that can be left under the conjunctiva after adjustment. Retrospectively, the medical records of all patients treat...

DOS Times Vol. 12, No. 3 September, 2006 Dissociated Vertical Deviation (DVD) is one of the least understood forms of strabismus. It was first described by Stevens as double vertical strabismus, other common names given to this anomaly are, Alternating hyperphoria (Crone), Anaphoria / anatropia (Stevens), Periodic vertical squint (Anderson), Strabismus sursoadductorius (Cords). The term "Dissoc...

PURPOSE To compare the surgical results of adjustable and non-adjustable horizontal strabismus surgery for concomitant horizontal strabismus. METHODS The charts of 231 patients, who underwent horizontal strabismus surgery, selected using probabilistic sampling, were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical technique used and strabismus type. Th...

PURPOSE To characterize conjugate eye movements in Crouzon syndrome (CS) patients with and without strabismus. METHODS Smooth pursuit, saccades, horizontal optokinetic nystagmus (OKN), and horizontal vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) were recorded using binocular video-oculography (VOG) in 10 children with CS (5 orthotropic, 5 strabismic) and 12 age-matched controls. Hess-Lancaster plots were gen...
