Botulinum Toxin Augmented Surgery vs Conventional Surgery in the Management of Large Angle Horizontal...

Large Angle Horizontal Strabismus

Horizontal strabismus includes esotropia and exotropia where there is inward or outward deviation of visual axes of the eyes respectively. The most common initial treatment of horizontal strabismus is either bilateral rectus muscle recessions or unilateral recession resection surgery. For large angle deviations (>50 prism diopters [PD]), surgery on 2 muscles alone may not be adequate with high reoperation rates. Approaches to these patients included large bilateral muscle recessions, supramaximal unilateral recession resection procedure, three or four horizontal muscle surgery, or botulinum toxin augmented surgery. Botulinum toxin augmentated strabismus surgery was reported in several studies. Owens et al.reported successful botulinum toxin augmentation of monocular recession-resection surgeries in 3 large-angle exotropia patients with successful results in two of the 3 patients. Khan reported 8 patients with > 60 PD esotropia treated with botulinum-augmented surgery. Six of 8 had deviations of 10 PD or less following surgery. Özkan et al used botulinum augmentation in a group of older patients with large angle esotropia of different etiologies, with a success rate of 57%. Lueder et al evaluated the long-term outcomes in patients with infantile esotropia. The results were good, with a 74% success rate. Based on historical comparisons, this technique appears equally as effective as 3- or 4-muscle surgery and more effective than large bilateral medial rectus recessions alone. Ideally, a prospective randomized study should be performed to more definitively determine the effectiveness of intraoperative botulinum toxin augmentation compared to surgery alone.

A Trial of Bifocals in Myopic Children With Esophoria

MyopiaStrabismus1 more

To test the hypothesis that correction with bifocal spectacle lenses rather than single-vision lenses will slow the progression of myopia in children with near-point esophoria. The primary outcome variable is cycloplegic refraction as measured with an automated refractor. Axial length is measured with ultrasound in order to test the corollary hypothesis that use of bifocals will slow ocular growth in these myopic children. We will also examine the amount of close work performed by subjects and the degree of parental myopia as factors that may influence myopia progression.

The Use of Interactive Binocular Treatment (I-BiT) for the Management of Anisometropic, Strabismic...

AmblyopiaStrabismus

Around one child in fifty has a lazy eye (termed amblyopia) where the eye is structurally normal but the vision fails to develop correctly. Around half of these children also have a squint (strabismus) where each eye has a different direction of gaze. This condition is the commonest cause of visual impairment in one eye in children. This is a randomised control trial of wearing glasses alone (which will result in some visual improvement, termed refractive adaptation) and wearing glasses combined with using I-BiT Plus. The hypothesis is that using I-BiT Plus will result in an improved visual outcome.

Symmetrical Versus Asymmetrical Surgery for Asymmetrical Inferior Oblique Overaction

Strabismus

Overaction of the inferior oblique (IO) muscle is a commonly observed component of childhood strabismus, and is often seen combined with other ocular deviations. It manifests with excessive elevation of the affected eye in adduction, and may cause a pattern strabismus and vertical deviation of the affected eye. IO overaction (IOOA) may be primary or secondary to superior oblique underaction, is often bilateral, and may be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Surgical management of the overacting IO muscle is often required to achieve ocular alignment. The most commonly performed IO muscle weakening procedures are IO myectomy and graded IO recession. The surgical decision is primarily based on degree of overaction of the IO muscle. Various studies have compared the two IO weakening procedures and have reported a similar success rate for both procedures. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of two IO weakening procedures (symmetrical vs asymmetrical myectomy or graded recession) in normalizing the IOOA, obtaining vertical alignment and collapse of pattern, when employed in the treatment of asymmetrical IOOA.

Bupivacaine Injection of Eye Muscles to Treat Strabismus

StrabismusEsotropia4 more

This study seeks to determine if bupivacaine injection of eye muscles can make them stronger and stiffer, and thereby correct the position of eyes that are turned in or mis-aligned, a condition generally termed strabismus. It seeks further to find out the different effects of various concentrations or formulations of bupivacaine, and whether addition of Botox to other eye muscles can add to the effect of bupivacaine and enhance the correction of strabismus.

The Effect of Slanted Recession of Horizontal Muscle on Horizontal Strabismus With Abnormal Accommodative...

Horizontal Strabismus With High AC/A Ratio

Different methods was tried to treat high AC/A strabismus cases;such as prescription of bifocal glasses in esotropia,recession of horizontal muscles with posterior fixation sutures,more recession than needed for far deviation(augmented recession),recession and pulley fixation and slant recession. Different results was reported for any type of above methods. In recent studies,slanted recession was applied for high AC/A in esotropic cases and success rate of 67% was reported.but there was no unanimity for procedure of choice. Since slant recession method is simpler and has low side effect than the other methods,therefore in this study the investigators want to peruse the outcome of this method on high AC/A horizontal strabismus.

Grading Versus Classic Inferior Oblique Anterior Transposition in Patient With Asymmetric Dissociated...

Asymmetric Dissociated Vertical Deviation

Purpose: To determine the surgical outcomes of the grading versus classic Inferior Oblique Anterior Transposition (IOAT) technique in treatment of patients with asymmetric dissociated vertical deviation (DVD) and inferior oblique overaction (IOOA). Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, a total of 38 patients with IOOA of >+1 and a minimum DVD difference of 5pd between their two eyes will be included. Comprehensive ophthalmic examinations including visual acuity assessment, measurements of noncyclo- and cycloplegic refraction as well as ocular deviation, biomicroscopic and funduscopic evaluation will be performed at baseline and repeated three months after the surgery. The function of extra ocular muscles will be evaluated by duction and version movements denoting from -4 (underaction) to +4 (overaction) grades. Also, IOOA will be graded as +1 to +4 according to the covering of the cornea under the superior eyelid during the ocular movement towards supra-nasal direction. The difference of DVD≥5pd between two eyes will be considered as asymmetric DVD. All patients will be randomized in the two groups to undergo IOAT surgical procedure; in the classic group, IO muscle will be sutured to the sclera at the level of inferior rectus (IR) insertion at its temporal border, without considering the asymmetric DVD between the two eyes; while in the grading group, IO muscle of the eye with more severe DVD will be sutured at the level of IR insertion and IO muscle of the eye with lower magnitude of DVD will be sutured 2mm posterior to the sclera to consider the preoperative DVD difference between the two eyes.

Strabismus Measurements Using Automated 3D Video Oculography

Strabismus

Measuring ocular motility and alignment is important for diagnosing different causes of strabismus, following patients recovering from cranial nerve palsies, preparing patients for strabismus surgery and follow-up post surgery. The current clinical gold standards for measuring ocular alignment are the Hess screen and the Harms tangent screen. These tests are accurate, but require patient cooperation, and are not objective because the patient has to indicate the position of the light he sees on the screen. Our objective is to develop an accurate and easy to use goggles system to measure ocular alignment and motility using 3D video oculography.
