Pediatric myopic strabismus fixus: clinical features and surgical outcomes of silicone band loop myopexy
CONCLUSION: The clinical profile of MSF in children is almost similar to adults. This condition is a rare entity among adults as well as children. Majority of children with MSF presented with esotropia-hypotropia complex. Silicone band loop myopexy with or without medial rectus recession proves to be a reliable surgical procedure as it provides stable outcomes in terms of ocular alignment and motility among children.PMID:38380479 | DOI:10.1080/09273972.2024.2306348 (Source: Strabismus)

Trends and patterns in pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus surgeries: a decade review from a leading Portuguese university hospital
CONCLUSION: The study's insights, while aligning with prior European research, introduce new dimensions to the understanding of strabismus surgeries, emphasizing the significance of early interventions, evolving surgical preferences, and the challenges posed by severe deviations.PMID:38380608 | DOI:10.1080/09273972.2024.2317221 (Source: Strabismus)

Magnetic resonance imaging findings of high myopic strabismus with sagging eye-like symptoms, heavy eye syndrome, and non-highly myopic eyes with sagging eye syndrome
DISCUSSION: SES-like symptoms can develop in highly myopic eyes; however, MRI showed that the state of the LR muscle in highly myopic SES deviated almost similarly to that in SES; however, the eyeball was more dislocated than in SES. This may be useful in deciding the appropriate operative procedure.PMID:38357815 | DOI:10.1080/09273972.2024.2314036 (Source: Strabismus)

Subnormal visual acuity after compliant amblyopia therapy: residual/refractory amblyopia or co-existing pathology? - a retrospective analysis
Conclusion: Our study suggests that 5% of children diagnosed with amblyopia might have co-existing/alternate etiology. Most common co-existing etiologies were subclinical optic neuropathy, and OMD. No improvement in BCVA, subtle history and examination findings prompted further workup. Not considering co-existing etiologies was the most common reason for an initial overdiagnosis of amblyopia.PMID:38311572 | DOI:10.1080/09273972.2023.2294997 (Source: Strabismus)

Corneal tomography changes following major (6 mm) medial rectus muscle recession: a prospective cohort study using Pentacam ®
DISCUSSION: The changes in total astigmatism of the operated eyes are mainly attributed to the anterior corneal surface. These changes are associated with flattening in the 180 meridian of the cornea, leading to a shift to "with-the-rule" astigmatism.PMID:38311603 | DOI:10.1080/09273972.2024.2311094 (Source: Strabismus)

Prevalence of anisometropia and its associated factors in school-age children
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of anisometropia was low in Iranian school children. However, a high percentage of anisometropic students had amblyopia and strabismus. Axial length was the most important biometric component associated with anisometropia.PMID:38230509 | DOI:10.1080/09273972.2023.2293883 (Source: Strabismus)

Acquired comitant esotropias - comparison of surgical outcomes of accommodative vs non-accommodative types
Conclusions: The motor and sensory outcomes were similar in the two groups. A higher proportion of ANAET patients remained orthophoric during the follow-up. The patients in the pARET group showed a tendency toward exodrift.PMID:38086747 | DOI:10.1080/09273972.2023.2281979 (Source: Strabismus)
