Filter by:All the patients underwent standard muscle transplantation, where the resected extra stump of lateral or medial rectus muscle was transplanted to the medial or lateral rectus muscle using 6-0 prolene which wasrecessed by a standard recession technique
Prospective study, conducted at Tanta University Ophthalmology Department Measurement of macular and choroidal thickness before and after strabismus surgery
Fifteen subjects with intermittent exotropia were included. The subjects were asked to fixate on a black-on-white optotype at 1 m, which subtended a visual angle of 50 min of arc, equating to a Snellen optotype of 20/200. The video files and data about ocular deviations were obtained using VOG with alternate cover test. Investigators analyzed angles of ocular deviations in dominant and non-dominant eyes, compared with values of VOG and deviation angles of the alternative prism cover test.
The investigators will re-investigate 150 children studied extensively in the past. 100 of these children were born to mothers prescribed methadone during their pregnancy because of opiate dependency, and 50 were comparison children who were not exposed to drugs. These children were investigated when they were newborn babies, and again when they were six months old, and a quarter of the drug-exposed babies had problems with their eyesight, whilst very few of the comparison children has eyesight problems. The investigators would like to see whether the eyesight problems are still present in the children now that they are older. Because they are older, more detailed testing can be undertaken which will help to understand how drug exposure in the womb may have affected their eyesight. The investigators will recruit new, comparison children to the study to match the number of comparison children with the number of drug-exposed children. The findings will be relevant and important when advising mothers on drug use - both prescribed and illicit - when they are pregnant.
