She developed traumatic third nerve palsy and eventually the clinical features of aberrant regeneration of the third cranial nerve. The adduction of the eye improved over time. She was advised for...

Editorials Anisometropia and amblyopia-chicken or egg? Amblyopia continues to attract tremendous interest from basic scientists and clinicians, yet surprisingly large gaps in our understanding of this topic remain. One of these is highlighted by Abrahamsson and Sj6strand who describe in this issue of the B7O (p 860) a meticulous follow up of 20 children to the age of 10 who at 1 year of age had...

Abstract Background Deprivation amblyopia is a great concern in hyperplastic persistent pupillary membranes (PPM) which blocked visual axis. Other ocular abnormality may accompany and further hinder the development of infants. We evaluate long-term prognosis complications patients with dense PPM other associated abnormalities treated early surgical intervention timely rehabilitation. Methods Me...

Amblyopic vision is thought to be limited by abnormal long-range spatial interactions, but their exact mode of action and relationship to the main amblyopic deficit in visual acuity is largely unknown. We studied this relationship in a group (N=59) of anisometropic (N=21) and strabismic (or combined, N=38) subjects, using (1) a single and multi-pattern (crowded) computerized static Tumbling-E t...
