Objective assessment of corneal backscattered light in myopic, hyperopic, and emmetropic children.

Background: To determine the corneal densitometry(CD) values by using Scheimpflug imaging in myopic and hyperopic children and to compare the results with emmetropic children.

Methods: The CD measurements of the subject were obtained with Scheimpflug tomography. The values were automatically measured in standardized grayscale units over an area 12mm in diameter, which was subdivided into 4 annular concentric zones(0-2mm, 2-6mm, 6-10mm, 10-12mm) and 3 corneal depths(anterior layer: anterior 120µm; central layer: from 120µm to the last 60µm; posterior layer: last 60µm).

Psychosocial Improvements in Children and Their Parents Following Strabismus Surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate the psychosocial effects of strabismus surgery, the authors investigated the psychiatric symptoms and quality of life of children with strabismus and their parents.

Methods: Children with strabismus between 6 and 18 years old (n = 39) and their parents (n = 39) were included. Psychiatric problems and the health-related quality of life were assessed with the Child Behavior Checklist and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory, respectively.

The Effect of Inferior Oblique Muscle Z-Myotomy in Patients with Primary Inferior Oblique Overaction.

Objectives: To investigate the surgical results of the inferior oblique muscle Z-myotomy in patients with inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA).

Materials And Methods: The medical records of patients who had undergone inferior oblique muscle Z-myotomy for primary IOOA in a single center between 2017 and 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had mild IOOA (+1 and between +1 and +2).

Evaluation of static and dynamic pupil characteristics in hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to perform a comparison of static and dynamic pupillometry measurements in patients with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia and age-matched controls.

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study consisted of 38 patients with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia and 80 control subjects. A quantitative pupillometry system was used to evaluate the pupil characteristics of higher hyperopic eyes (Group 1), the fellow eyes (Group 2), and healthy eyes (Group 3).

Improvement in psychiatric symptoms after strabismus surgery in adolescent patients in long-term follow-up.

Aims: To assess the psychological effects of preoperative primary eye position and surgical correction of strabismus in adolescent patients.

Methods: Eighty-three adolescent patients with exotropia were included in this observational and prospective study. Patients with preoperative manifest exotropia formed the manifest exotropia group.

Anterior Segment Changes during Accommodation in Accommodative Esotropia.

Purpose: To evaluate the anterior segment biometric parameters of non-accommodative and accommodative refractive accommodative esotropia (RAE).

Methods: Eighty-one eyes of 81 patients were included in this prospective, case-control study. The patients were divided into three groups as follows: the RAE group (n = 31), the hypermetropia group (n = 25), and the emmetropia group (n = 25).
