View clinical trials related to Strabismus.
Filter by:Strabismus affects approximately 0.8%-6.8% of the world's population and appears by the age of 3 years in 65% of affected individuals. Manual measurement of deviation is often laborious and highly dependent on the experience of the specialist and the cooperation of the patients. Current strabismus evaluation technologies are heavily dependent on model eyes. Here, the investigators use deep learning to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) platform consisting of three deep learning (DL) systems to screen strabismus, evaluate deviation and propose a surgical plan based on corneal light-reflection photos. The investigator also conduct clinical trial to validate its versatility in clinical practice.
Observation study monitoring vital signs and anesthetic variables particularly heart rate during prospective, ocular manipulation and specifically uniform tension on extra ocular muscles during strabismus surgery. *IRB approval from 1992 covered in letter from then IRB chair Dr. Judith Whitcomb, Anchorage, Alaska (letter 10/2020).*
Amblyopia and strabismus are characterized by a reduction in visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, grating acuity, vernier acuity, reading difficulties and binocular visual function deficits. Treated patients have residual visual function deficits. The purpose of the current study is to quantify various visual functions in amblyopic and strabismic participants at baseline, during and at the completion of treatment.
Preoperative and postoperative Lees screen was done after concomitant horizontal strabismus surgery to detect any limitation in the field of operated muscle
Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is one of the main causes of patient and family dissatisfaction, which may delay the onset of oral intake and postpone discharge. In pediatric patients, the incidence of PONV is high, and in some studies it can reach values of 70%. Strabismus surgery is considered an independent risk factor for PONV. Palonosetron is a second generation antiemetic drug, 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor antagonist, with a long half-life, which allows single dose administration and has been shown to be safe and effective in the treatment of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting, and has been used with satisfactory results in the prophylaxis of PONV in adult and pediatric patients. Studies involving palonosetron are still scarce.
The overall five-year goals of the project are to develop novel technology to provide actionable new information through provision of live volumetric imaging during surgery, improving surgical practice and outcomes. The investigators believe this technology will enable novel ophthalmic and other microsurgeries not possible due to current limitations in surgical visualization.
Different methods was tried to treat high AC/A strabismus cases;such as prescription of bifocal glasses in esotropia,recession of horizontal muscles with posterior fixation sutures,more recession than needed for far deviation(augmented recession),recession and pulley fixation and slant recession. Different results was reported for any type of above methods. In recent studies,slanted recession was applied for high AC/A in esotropic cases and success rate of 67% was reported.but there was no unanimity for procedure of choice. Since slant recession method is simpler and has low side effect than the other methods,therefore in this study the investigators want to peruse the outcome of this method on high AC/A horizontal strabismus.
Overaction of the inferior oblique (IO) muscle is a commonly observed component of childhood strabismus, and is often seen combined with other ocular deviations. It manifests with excessive elevation of the affected eye in adduction, and may cause a pattern strabismus and vertical deviation of the affected eye. IO overaction (IOOA) may be primary or secondary to superior oblique underaction, is often bilateral, and may be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Surgical management of the overacting IO muscle is often required to achieve ocular alignment. The most commonly performed IO muscle weakening procedures are IO myectomy and graded IO recession. The surgical decision is primarily based on degree of overaction of the IO muscle. Various studies have compared the two IO weakening procedures and have reported a similar success rate for both procedures. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of two IO weakening procedures (symmetrical vs asymmetrical myectomy or graded recession) in normalizing the IOOA, obtaining vertical alignment and collapse of pattern, when employed in the treatment of asymmetrical IOOA.
Develop and evaluate a new smartphone based app to screen for and measure eye misalignment (strabismus). The investigators will validate the app against simulated strabismus of known magnitude and common clinical tests. They will evaluate the app as a screening tool in high risk populations, to determine the sensitivity and specificity. They hypothesize that the app can measure to within 2 units (prism diopters) of the ground truth, and that it will be correlated with gold standard tests.
The purpose of this study is to identify genes associated with impaired development and function of the cranial nerves and brainstem, which may result in misalignment of the eyes (strabismus) and related conditions.
