Bupivicaine has been shown to stimulate ocular muscle structure and length after injection into ocular muscles. Bupivicaine 0.75% has been utilized in the treatment of strabismus to alter ocular alignment by strengthening an ocular muscle. This study is designed to report 5-year BACKGROUND
Basic exotropia accounts for approximately 50% of all intermittent exotropias. Many clinicians view treating these patients, especially adults with childhood-onset exotropia, as challenging. Conflicting opinions still exist regarding prescribing any treatment for adult strabismics,
To evaluate the short-term effectiveness of overminus spectacles in improving control of childhood intermittent exotropia (IXT).
Randomized, clinical trial.
A total of 58 children aged 3 to <7 years with IXT. Eligibility criteria included a distance control score of 2 or worse (mean of 3 measures
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether base-in prism glasses could diminish asthenopia, and improve reading abilities (speed, accuracy and comprehension).
METHODS
All patients aged 8-18 years, from one practice, were examined and considered prospectively over a six month period. Ten percent (72) of these
BACKGROUND
Intermittent exotropia (IXT) is an exodeviation intermittently controlled by fusional mechanisms. Patients with IXT may present with asthenopic symptoms, blurred vision, headaches, diplopia or visual confusion and reading difficulties; especially after prolonged periods of near
Rathke cleft cysts are commonly found on autopsy but are seldom symptomatic. Conventional treatment of these lesions consists of transsphenoidal drainage with partial excision of the cyst, and recurrence is rare. Alternatively, the instillation of absolute alcohol into the cyst has been described in
The patient is a 72-year-old man who had tonsillitis and underwent incision on March 6, 1998. He complained headache and nausea from March 10 and double vision from March 12. He was admitted to our hospital on March 14. Neurological examination on March 18 revealed bilateral internuclear
Background: It is well known that intracranial aneurysms can be associated to fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). Nevertheless, it is not clear the best treatment strategy when there is an association of giant symptomatic cavernous carotid
Purpose: The use of ophthalmic instruments requires increased effort on the accommodation and vergence system. This study aimed to understand the prevalence of binocular vision anomalies among ophthalmology trainees attending a surgical
A 39-year old female was referred with a 2 year history of slowly progressive headache, exophthalmos, diplopia and restricted eye movements with exotropia of the right eye. Orthoptic examination revealed restricted elevation and mildly restricted adduction of the right eye. CT and MRI demonstrated a
BACKGROUND
Craniosynostosis is an abnormal and premature fusion of any cranial suture. Twenty per cent of them involve any specific syndrome with Mendelian transmission; the other 80% are "non syndromic", although but 10-14% of them are genetically transmitted. Using the experience of two patients
A report covering 80 cases of esophoria in which surgery was performed. All the patients had previously suffered from severe headache and other complaints. Preoperative treatment consisted of full prismatic correction. The power of the prisms was measured by the "Polatest" method. We observed that
An unusual presentation of Devic's neuromyelitis optica (NMO) disease associated with bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia (INO) is described. A 32-year-old pregnant patient was diagnosed with NMO. First symptoms were headache and sudden visual loss in her right eye (RE). Eighteen months ago, she
Meares-Irlen syndrome is characterised by symptoms of eye strain, headaches and visual perceptual distortions when viewing text. The symptoms are alleviated with individually prescribed coloured filters, such as precision tinted lenses. Meares-Irlen syndrome, and the related condition of visual
Optometrists frequently encounter patients with migraine and patients and practitioners sometimes suspect that visual stimuli or visual anomalies trigger headaches. There is a lack of evidence-based research on the issue, however. Some patients with migraine may be hypersensitive to visual stimuli,
