Aim: To examine the association of distance-near disparity with neurological disease in children with intermittent exotropia. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed of the medical records of all children with intermittent exotropia examined at the Arkansas Children’s Hospital between 1989 and 2002. The study group consisted of children with intermittent exotropia who had a near deviati...

BACKGROUND: This survey was performed to determine the effect of unilateral lateral rectus recession in treatment of moderate angle intermittent exotropia. However, this type of operation and its long term results in patients with moderate angle exotropia have not yet been studied in Iran. METHODS: Forty patients with basic type intermittent exotropia with moderate angle deviation (25-30∆D) wer...

Abstract Background To evaluate the distribution pattern and changes of strabismus surgery in northern China. Methods The records patients at Qingdao Eye Hospital from January 2014 to December 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. characteristics analyzed included gender, regional distribution, constituent ratio age type strabismus. Changes during periods 2014–2016 2017–2019 compared analyzed. Re...

We report two cases of mirror image anomalies in two different pairs of monozygotic twins. In case 1, the twins exhibited mirroring of strabismus and refractive errors. Twin 1 had 35 prism diopters (PD) right intermittent exotropia at distant fixation and myopic anisometropia that was spherical 2.00 diopters more myopic in the right eye. Twin 2 had 35 PD left intermittent exotropia at distant f...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of acrylic refractive prism and Fresnel membrane prism on stereoacuity in intermittent exotropia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Stereoacuities of fifty-two patients (mean age, 12.4 years; range 6 to 45 years) with intermittent exotropia were measured using the Titmus and TNO stereotests, while they wore prisms of varying power on nonfixating eye or evenly on each eye. ...

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the role of extracellular matrix components such as aggrecan, fibronectin, and laminin in the extraocular muscle of patients with strabismus. Resected tissues of the medial rectus muscle of 47 patients with intermittent exotropia obtained during recession-resection surgery were frozen under liquid nitrogen and pulverized by a Freezer/Mill to solubilize...

© 2009 by the Iranian Society of Ophthalmology Published by Otagh-e-Chap Inc. 35 Purpose: To evaluate the role of orthoptic treatments in the management of intermittent exotropia Methods: In a retrospective study, clinical records of patients diagnosed with intermittent exotropia were reviewed. Patients with basic, convergence insufficiency (CI) and divergence excess (DE) types of intermittent ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate two cases of intermittent exotropia treated by vision therapy the efficacy of the treatment by complementing the clinical examination with a 3D videooculography to register and to evidence the potential applicability of this technology for such purpose. METHODS We report the binocular alignment changes occurring after vision therapy in a woman of 36 years with an intermi...
