In strabismus, potentially either eye can inform the brain about the location of a target so that an accurate saccade can be made. Sixteen human subjects with alternating exotropia were tested dichoptically while viewing stimuli on a tangent screen. Each trial began with a fixation cross visible to only one eye. After the subject fixated the cross, a peripheral target visible to only one eye fl...

Dr. Wagner has no financial or proprietary interest in the materials presented herein. doi:10.3928/01913913-20180212-01 What is the preferred deviation in the immediate postoperative period following surgery for infantile esotropia? This is a difficult question to answer, although many have tried. It is clear that the initial deviation may not be stable and may continue to change during the yea...

IMPORTANCE Extraocular muscle strengthening is a common treatment for strabismus. Plication is an alternative procedure for strengthening muscles with less tissue trauma than resection. OBJECTIVE To compare the surgical dose effect of plication with that of resection. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective comparison of surgical outcomes in an academic pediatric ophthalmology and s...

Weber's syndrome with vertical gaze palsy is rarely reported in literature. We present a case of a 47-year-old female who developed sudden onset of left exotropia, right sided hemiplegia and vertical gaze palsy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple infarcts involving both thalami and extending caudally into the midbrain. This case presents the diverse clinical picture following midb...

27 Previously, we showed that neurons in the SupraOculomotor area (SOA), known to 28 encode vergence angle in normal monkeys, encode the horizontal eye misalignment in 29 strabismic monkeys. The SOA receives afferent projections from the caudal fastigial 30 nucleus (cFN) and posterior interposed nucleus (PIN) in the cerebellum. The objectives 31 of the current study were to investigate the pote...
