Esotropia Figure 1 shows that the patient has esotropia of the left eye or what is commonly known as a squint or strabismus. The squint is an inward squint (synonyms include convergent squint or esodeviation of the eye). Esotropia is a condition where either one or both eyes are turned inward. Congenital esotropia, often seen in infants below six years old, may give rise to amblyopia. Accommoda...

AIM To evaluate ocular alignment and surgical results of strabismus surgery in neurologically impaired children. METHODS Files of 33 neurologically impaired squint children were evaluated. Twelve patients had cerebral palsy(CP), 4 had CP with mental retardation, therest had mental-motor retardation of unknown cause. Cycloplegic refractions, type and angle of strabismus, surgeries performed we...

The authors report two cases of X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS) manifested as bilateral vitreous hemorrhage as early as in an 1-month-old infant and in a 3-month-old infant. The one-month-old male infant showed massive bilateral vitreous hemorrhage. During vitrectomy, thin membrane representing an inner part of schisis cavity was excised and intraschisis hemorrhage was evacuated. As intr...

PURPOSE To determine the clinical course of recurrent exotropia after a secondary operation for exotropia. METHODS The surgical results in 58 patients who had undergone reoperation for recurrent exotropia (reoperation group) were retrospectively investigated and compared with those of 100 patients who had undergone primary strabismus surgery only (primary operation group) using survival analy...

Purpose: To compare the long-term clinical outcomes of patients with refractive accommodative esotropia (RAET) and infantile (IET).Methods: The medical records RAET IET who were followed-up for more than 36 months retrospectively analyzed. prescribed spectacles to correct cycloplegic refraction those underwent bilateral, medial rectus recession. Visual acuity, refraction, angle esodeviation at ...

Background: Cerebral palsy is a group of non-progressive disorders movement or posture. Visual handicap in Palsy patients can have direct impact on psychosocial status. Refractive errors, strabismus, nystagmus, amblyopia and cortical visual impairment are observed 50 to 90 % with cerebral palsy.
 Objective: To evaluate for CP at Children’s Hospital UTHs.

Abstract Background Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is a type of strabismus characterized by sudden onset large angle with diplopia, which often occurs in children after infancy, teenagers, and young adolescents. However, studies on the surgical outcomes only adults are rare. The purpose this article to analyze for adult patients diagnosed AACE. Methods Medical records 24 who had under...
