Objective: Aim of this study was to evaluate possible risk factors affecting stereopsis in patients with refractive accommodative esotropia (RAE). Materials and Methods: The retrospective investigation performed on the records children RAE. Two groups were made according presence stereopsis. presumed onset age RAE, at initial correction, mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), angle deviation...

The onset of concomitant strabismus in most cases occurs during early infancy or childhood.' The two major categories of early onset concomitant esotropia are accommodative and congenital (infantile). While some disagreement exists as to the appropriate treatment of these strabismic disorders, there is general consensus that these are not usually causally related to any serious underlying neuro...

Objectives: Manifest strabismus in children is a major cause of suboptimum visual experience with attendant impact on their development. This study aims to determine the pattern manifest among attending Paediatric Ophthalmology clinic University Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Rivers State. Materials and method: One hundred twenty-five (125) children, aged 6 months 18 years were ...

Introduction: Strabismic amblyopia is frequently encountered by pediatric ophthalmologists and orthoptists. An understanding of its onset and of the timing of treatment may lead to better long-term treatment results. Methods: A review was conducted of past and recent literature pertaining to strabismic amblyopia. Articles relevant to further understanding the onset, course, and management of st...

BACKGROUD To evaluate the manifestations of increased esodeviation under cycloplegia with 0.5% tropicamide and 0.5% phenylephrine in children with hyperopia and esotropia. METHODS We reviewed the medical record of 34 children with hyperopia and esotropia who underwent a prism alternate cover test before and after instillation of mixed eye drops containing 0.5% tropicamide and 0.5% phenylephri...

AIM Validating the hypothesis that accommodative microfluctuations (AMFs) may be associated with severe symptoms in short tear break-up time (BUT) dry eye (DE). METHODS This study included 12 subjects with short BUT DE (age: 49.6±18.3 years). Diagnoses were performed based on the presence of DE symptoms, BUT ≤5 s, Schirmer score >5 mm, and negative keratoconjunctival epithelial damage. Tear e...

PURPOSE To obtain experimental values of the depth-of-field (DOFi) of the human eye for different accommodative states. METHODS First, the monochromatic ocular wavefront of seven eyes from young subjects (mean [±SD] age, 29.7 [±7.7] years) was measured at eight different accommodative demands (ADs) (from -1 to 6 diopters [D] in steps of 1 D). Then, in a second part, accommodation was paralyze...
