INTRODUCTION Pseudostrabismus is a common diagnosis in a busy pediatric ophthalmology practice. This purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of true strabismus in patients previously diagnosed with pseudostrabismus, to determine risk factors, and to examine the sensory outcome. METHODS This is a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with pseudo-strabismus and with at least ...

Dynamic vergence eye movements in response to step target displacements along the midline were measured by an infrared reflection technique in 11 patients having either intermittent strabismus, constants-strabismus amblyopia, or amblyopia without strabismus. We found the absence of normal disparity (fusional) vergence in all patients having strabismus and in some patients having amblyopia witho...

PURPOSE To compare binocularity in central and peripheral vision of people with early-onset strabismus and people with normal binocular vision. METHODS Ten subjects with early-onset strabismus, and nine subjects with normal binocular vision were tested. To assess binocularity, interocular transfer (IOT) of a rotary movement aftereffect (MAE) was measured. The MAE stimuli were either confined ...

This report investigates line-of-sight asymmetric disparity vergence in patients having either intermittent strabismus, constant strabismus with amblyopia, or amblyopia without strabismus. We find an absence of disparity vergence in all patients with strabismus and in some with amblyopia only. Accommodative vergence and saccades place the dominant eye on the targets moving in depth. These accom...

PURPOSE To determine whether satisfactory results of both eyelid surgery and strabismus surgery can be obtained when these procedures are performed in the same setting in selected patients. METHODS Nine patients (16 eyelids) who had undergone surgery in the same setting for eyelid malposition and strabismus of the horizontal rectus muscles, with or without concurrent vertical rectus muscle su...

Dr. Nelson has no financial or proprietary interest in the materials presented herein. doi: 10.3928/01913913-20120523-01 The incidence of perioperative inflammation after strabismus surgery is uncommon. Many of these cases may be related to when there is prolongation of the suture material dissolving, creating conjunctival injection around the suture. This phenomenon is more common in adult str...

PURPOSE To evaluate factors associated with the direction of horizontal deviation in the sensory strabismus of patients with unilateral organic amblyopia. METHODS The medical charts of 53 patients who had been diagnosed with sensory strabismus between 2000 and 2009 were reviewed retrospectively. The underlying ocular disease, time of onset and the duration of vision impairment, refractive err...

BACKGROUND Although much research has been conducted on the impact of strabismus on the quality of life (QoL) of adults, the effect of this condition on teenagers has not been extensively studied. This study therefore aimed to assess the effect of strabismus on the vision-related QoL of Chinese teenagers. METHODS The Chinese version of the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questi...

AIM The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hyperopia and strabismus among a paediatric population with malocclusions. MATERIALS AND METHODS From a total of 322 consecutive patients observed at the department of Orthodontics and Gnathology, Dental Clinic, University of L'Aquila, 176 were selected for the study according to the exclusion criteria. Pretreatment diagnos...

Strabismus can be found in association with congenital heart diseases, for examples, in velocardiofacial (DiGeorge) syndrome, Down syndrome, mild dysmorphic features, in CHARGE association, Turner syndrome, Ullrich-Turner syndrome, cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome.1-4 Some types of strabismus is heritable (e.g. infantile esotropia syndrome), particularly the ones associated with multisystem disord...
