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)

Midbrain lesion-induced disconjugate gaze: a unifying circuit mechanism of ocular alignment?
ConclusionA circumscribed region in the dorsal midbrain appears to be a key node for disconjugate eye movements in both vertical and horizontal planes. Lesioning this area produces a unique ocular motor syndrome mirroring hallmarks of developmental strabismus and nystagmus. Further circuit-level studies could offer pivotal insights into shared pathomechanisms of acquired and developmental disorders affecting eye alignment. (Source: Journal of Neurology)

Oculocutaneous albinism type 4: Novel compound heterozygous mutations in the SLC45A2 gene in a Chinese case
ConclusionWe firstly reported this case of OCA4 with the compound heterozygous variants in theSLC45A2 gene. Our findings further enrich the reservoir ofSLC45A2 mutations in OCA4. (Source: Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine)

Corneal pseudoectasia: a case series
ConclusionsTomography patterns mimicking corneal ectasia can appear in patients without ectatic pathology. The comprehensive ophthalmologist should be aware of such cases as they may substantially alter the treatment course and prognosis of these patients. (Source: International Ophthalmology)

Analysis of factors related to the development of ocular biometric parameters in Chinese children aged 6-10 years: a cross-sectional study
Conclusions
The factors associated with myopia were partly related to ACD and AL, and perinatal factors were associated with myopia and CCT.

Changes in ocular extorsion after horizontal muscle surgery in patients with intermittent exotropia coexisting with hypertropia and mild inferior oblique overaction
by Soo Jung Lee, Sook Hyun Yoon, Sook Young Kim, Donghun Lee
PurposeTo investigate changes in vertical strabismus and extorsion in patients with intermittent exotropia and mild unilateral inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA) who underwent horizontal muscle surgery without vertical or oblique muscle surgery. MethodsThe medical records of 41 patients were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were followed up for at least 6 months after surgery. Fundus photography was performed before and after surgery, and the sum of the angles of torsion in both eyes was used to measure changes in extorsion using ImageJ software. The...

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)

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)

Surgical management of oculomotor nerve palsy - a review of the literature
Eur J Ophthalmol. 2024 Feb 1:11206721241229758. doi: 10.1177/11206721241229758. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe aim to review the surgical management techniques available for patients with oculomotor nerve (OMN) palsy, compare and contrast the approaches and subsequent outcomes. A search of the literature was carried out to yield all papers relevant to the topic, and a wide spectrum of surgical techniques were identified. These included: muscle shortening and lengthening procedures, muscle transposition, globe fixation and ptosis surgery. Patients often require a synergistic combination of these techniques. Strabismus sur...
