Basic acquired nonaccommodative esotropia patients managed with surgery; a study of 2102 patients
DISCUSSION: The higher astigmatism, lower CDVA, greater angle of horizontal deviation, and higher frequency of amblyopia were found in the preoperative examinations of BANAET patients managed with two or more surgeries compared with cases managed with only one surgery.PMID:37982308 | DOI:10.1080/09273972.2023.2283109 (Source: Strabismus)

Strabismus and Health Related Quality of Life in a pediatric Portuguese population
Conclusion: This is the first prospective study addressing HRQoL and strabismus in a pediatric Portuguese population. It would be relevant to further address this issue in order to delineate more effective and global treatment strategies, not only considering ophthalmological goals but also the well-being of both children and guardians.PMID:37973558 | DOI:10.1080/09273972.2023.2276138 (Source: Strabismus)

The use of optical coherence tomography angiography to measure changes in iris vasculature after strabismus surgery
DISCUSSION: The small final number of images contributing to statistical analysis shows that current application of the OCTA technique is hampered by poor image quality and poor repeatability. We identified difficulties in the image acquisition process and variable pupil size due to iris muscle contractions as the two main reasons. We believe that adjustments in the OCTA software such as pupil tracking and tracking of iris vasculature can largely overcome these limitations. Furthermore, there is a need for a normative database to allow good quantitative comparison and risk stratification. We conclude that OCTA could be sui...

Is there value in measuring near visual acuity during occlusion therapy for amblyopia?
Discussion: Improvement in VA of amblyopic eyes did not significantly differ between near and distance testing proximites at any point during the course of occlusion therapy for amblyopia in our study. These findings may aid clinicians with appropriate test selection and help with clinical time pressures. Where patient concentration does not allow for uniocular distance vision, uniocular near vision may be used to diagnose amblyopia, and vice versa. This could prevent delay in the treatment of amblyopia.PMID:37921023 | DOI:10.1080/09273972.2023.2271088 (Source: Strabismus)
