Strabismus following other intraocular surgery has several well-described etiologies. Vitreoretinal surgeries are the most likely to require retrobulbar anesthesia and exoplants, two commonly associated risk factors for postoperative strabismus. A reliable assessment of the incidence of strabismus secondary to other ocular surgery has not been established.

Certain automated measures of operative performance in robotic surgery can be gathered beyond video review called objective performance indicators (OPIs). We explore the relationship between OPIs, surgeon experience, and postoperative recovery, hypothesizing that more efficient dissection will be associated with experience.

CV is a form of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that allows interpretation of images through a deep learning (DL)-based algorithm. The improvements in Graphic Processing Unit (GPU) computing devices allow researchers to apply these algorithms for recognition of content in videos in real-time.

Technical skills are hard to measure. The Intuitive Data Recorder (IDR), (Sunnyvale, CA) allows for the measurement of technical skills using objective performance indicators (OPIs) from kinematic event data.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSignificance: This pilot randomized trial, the first to evaluate a specific base-in relieving prism treatment strategy for childhood intermittent exotropia, did not support proceeding to a full-scale clinical trial. Defining and measuring prism adaptation in children with intermittent exotropia are challenging and need further study.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether to proceed to a full-scale trial of relieving base-in prism spectacles versus refractive correction alone for children with intermittent exotropia.
