Evaluation of the complex treatment for congenital blepharoptosis.

Objective: To evaluate the results of treatment of congenital blepharoptosis (CBP) using selected surgical methods; and to evaluate concomitant visual system disorders.

Methods: Between 2001 and 2010, 52 children with CBP underwent surgical correction of CBP using the modified method of Mustarde, the original Mustarde method or frontal suspension at the Department of Plastic Surgery, Medical University of Lodz (Poland). Based on the results of ophthalmic and orthoptic examination, and standard measurements, postoperative differences in the position and symmetry of the upper eyelids, complications, and visual system abnormalities were analyzed.

[Visual outcomes, binocular vision and subjective accommodation after Crystalens HD accommodating intraocular lens implantation].

Objective: To evaluate visual acuity, binocular vision and subjective accommodation in patients after Crystalens HD accommodating intraocular lenses (IOLs) or monofocal IOLs implantation.

Material And Methods: 75 consecutive patients (aged 48 to 75 years) after bilateral cataract surgery with acrylic monofocal IOL (n = 36) or single-optic accommodating IOL (Crystalens HD) (n = 19) implantation and healthy presbyopic population (n = 20) were enrolled. Presence of asthenopic symptoms, diplopia and spectacle dependence was assessed.

[Large hang-back recession of superior rectus muscles as effective treatment of patients with dissociated vertical deviation].

Purpose: The aim of this study is to report the results of large bilateral superior rectus hang-back recession in patients with dissociated vertical deviation.

Material And Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients with dissociated vertical deviation treated in the Department of Ophthalmology between 2011 and 2013. Our enrolment criteria included vertical strabismus angle over 15Δ and the absence of inferior or superior oblique overaction in patients who underwent bilateral superior rectus recession ranging from 8 mm to 12 mm.

Surgical management of upgaze diplopia in patients after posttraumatic orbital floor reconstruction.

Objective: The most common complication of otherwise successful reconstructive surgery of a fractured orbital floor is persistent diplopia. For patients with troublesome double vision in upgaze, a reasonable solution is offered by strabismus surgery. The aim of our study is to examine the results of extraocular muscle surgery in cases of diplopia that persisted in upgaze after posttraumatic orbital floor reconstruction.

Morphometric parameters of extraocular rectus muscles evaluated by dynamic-multipositional magnetic resonance.

Purpose: To establish normal values of morphologic parameters of extraocular rectus muscles visualized in different gaze positions by means of an accessible method of dynamic-multipositional magnetic resonance imaging (dmMRI).

Methods: Twenty eyes of 10 healthy, orthotropic subjects were examined. A 1.
