Inferior rectus transposition as a secondary surgery in patients with acquired abducens nerve palsy
We report the outcomes in 2 patients with acquired abducens nerve palsy with residual esotropia following superior rectus transposition and medial rectus recession who subsequently underwent inferior rectus transposition as a second procedure. Both patients showed improved abduction and reduced esotropia, with no induced cyclotorsion or vertical deviation. Inferior rectus transposition as a secondary procedure in these 2 patients with abducens nerve palsy appeared to augment the effect of prior superior rectus transposition and medial rectus recession.

Systematic review of economic evaluations in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus
Economic evaluations in health care quantitatively compare interventions using cost and outcomes data. These evaluations can aid in the adoption of new surgical or medical treatments and inform policy decisions regarding healthcare spending. Several common types of economic analysis exist (cost-benefit, cost-analysis, cost-effectiveness, and cost-utility). We review all English-language economic evaluations in strabismus surgery and pediatric ophthalmology. (Source: Journal of AAPOS)

Advancing health equity in pediatric eye care: the role of school-based vision programs, research, advocacy, community engagement, and medical education
Disparities in access to pediatric vision care for school-age children remain a pressing issue in the United States. School-based vision programs (SBVPs) are regarded as a means to advance health equity, especially for disadvantaged students. While SBVPs can be beneficial, these programs are only part of the solution. Interdisciplinary collaborations are needed to strengthen the pediatric eye care delivery system and advocate for broader access to needed eye services. This discussion will frame the role of SBVPs in conjunction with research, advocacy, community engagement, and medical education to advance health equity in ...
