Filter by:Angular measurement of deviation is an essential element in the clinical evaluation of strabic patients. It is performed by orthoptic methods. However, studies show that the same patient presents a great variability of his angular measurement between 2 consultations, and between 2 observers. Automated angle measurement is a recent concept that aims to overcome the defects of subjective angle measurement by alternate occlusion test and prismatic bar. Improvements made by these devices would provide reliable, objective and reproducible measurements of the angle of deviation by increasing the accuracy of strabal angle assessment, improving decision making and surgical follow-up, decreasing inter-examiner variability and variability over time, and facilitating data comparison to improve scientific publication possibilities. The Gazelab® device is a video-oculograph combined with a laser projection system and an infrared camera. It allows an objective angular evaluation, in non-dissociating physiological conditions, possible even in the absence of binocular vision and allows an analysis of the deviation in all positions. There is extremely little data in the literature on automated measuring devices. The Gazelab tool is still little known in the strabology discipline and seems to have a number of advantages over other devices. The interest of this examination towards this pathology led the ophthalmology department to use it in the current practice, and since recently it is an act nomenclaturé.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate if strabismus can be successfully treated requiring less surgical interventions with a Botox-based treatment regimen compared to a purely surgery based treatment regimen. Experimental arm: Botulinum toxin injection in the horizontal extraocular muscles. Control (active comparator) arm: Strabismus surgery on the horizontal extraocular muscles. No investigational product is used. In Switzerland the standard procedure for treating large angle esotropia is surgery, which is performed on the horizontal eye muscles that may be either recessed or shortened leading to reduced or increased muscle function respectively. As an alternative to strabismus surgery, botulinum toxin (Botox) can be applied in extraocular muscles. Botox prevents the release of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft and thereby blocks the neuromuscular transmission thus inducing a palsy. Current evidence on the use of Botox in strabismus is incoherent, is poorly supported by basic research findings and leaves dedicated clinicians in the dark. The objective is to shed light into this field of clinical research, which may help to guide future pediatric ophthalmologists in their management of strabismic patients. In a best case scenario, the results from this trial will prevent strabismus operation for many children with acquired large angle esotropia.
Determine whether the application of povidone-iodine ophthalmic solution onto the ocular surface causes a change in respiration in children undergoing strabismus surgery with general anesthesia. Hypothesis: The application of povidone-iodine ophthalmic solution to the ocular surface causes a change in respiration in children during general anesthesia prior to strabismus surgery.
Sleep is important in maintaining the physiological function of the human body. Recently several studies have reported that preoperative sleep quality is associated with postoperative emergence delirium (ED) The ED is a common in pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia with sevoflurane, but studies on the association of sleep quality have been rare. The investigators, therefore, aimed to investigate the relationship between postoperative delirium and pre and postoperative sleep quality in pediatric patients receiving strabismus surgery through this study
To evaluate preoperative risk factors for overcorrection and undercorrection following surgery for basic intermittent exotropia such as axial length of the globe, refractive error, age and sex
Thirty-four subjects with constant exotropia were included. Two independent ophthalmologists measured the angle of ocular deviation using alternate prism cover test (APCT). The video files and data with the changes in ocular deviation during the alternate cover test were obtained using video-oculography (VOG). To verify the accuracy of VOG, Investigator compared the value obtained using VOG and the angle of a rotating model eye, and subsequently made a new linear equation using these data. The calculated values obtained using VOG were compared with those obtained using APCT to determine the diagnostic accuracy of VOG.
The validation of a French questionnaire is very important to assess rigorously and objectively the impact of the treatments of strabismus and amblyopia on children quality of life.
Ophthalmology is among the most technology driven of all medical specialties, with advanced medical imaging devices - and specialised computer software - increasingly adopted for routine clinical use. While many such devices are capable of completing specific tasks, lack of "usability" prevents their widespread adoption (i.e., such devices are not easy to learn and remember, or are not efficient or subjectively pleasing to use). Moreover, devices that are difficult to use expose patients to clinical risk as a result of human error during usage. With the introduction of a new medical technology, it is essential, therefore, to have a deep understanding of patients, what they need, what they value, their abilities, and also their limitations. Human factor and usability testing, also known as "human factor engineering", deals with the formal study of people's interaction with their environment (in this case, the binocular optical coherence tomography (OCT) device). Structured, patient-centred, usability testing is essential to the design, clinical validation, regulatory approval, and widespread implementation, of all new medical devices. This is particularly the case for a putative binocular OCT system - a device intended for automated use in visually impaired, often elderly, populations. Although the binocular OCT is already at an advanced stage of hardware development, the EASE study will facilitate an iterative process of operating software and workflow modifications to optimize the device for use in these populations.
This study aims to compare the effects of topical (Rimexolone versus Dexamethasone) on the IOP in children under 13 years of age who underwent bilateral strabismus surgery, and to compare the effects of topical (Rimexolone versus Fluorometholone) on the IOP in the children under 13 years of age who underwent bilateral strabismus surgery.
In patients suffered from floor fractures, there are 21.9% complaining about diplopia before fracture repair surgery and 20.8% after operation. Even after 6 months, there still are 16.4% had similar conditions. Investigators are planned to find predicting factors to prevent such conditions from happening.
