Methods: Findings on clinical examination, color fundus photography, fluorescein angiography, fundus autofluorescence, visual fields, and OCT including en face OCT and OCT angiography are presented.
Results: A 12-year-old African American boy presented with bilateral optic atrophy from neuromyelitis optica.
Purpose: To characterize the relationship between binocular summation (BiS) and binocular inhibition (BI) on the quality of life of adults and children with strabismus.
Methods: Strabismus patients at a single center from 2010 to 2012 were prospectively enrolled. A BiS score was measured using ETDRS and Sloan low-contrast visual acuity (LCA) protocols at 2.
