Psychological aspects of Graves' ophthalmopathy.

Purpose: This review aims to discuss the psychological aspects of Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO), estimate the prevalence of depression and anxiety disorders in GO, examine whether these psychiatric disorders are more prevalent in GO than in Graves' disease (GD) without eye disease, and evaluate the main contributors for depression and anxiety in GO.

Methods: A review of the literature.

Results: Both depression and anxiety are associated with GO.

Effects of orbital decompression on duction, cyclotorsion and diplopia.

Background: Orbital decompression is commonly performed to correct proptosis in patients with Graves' orbitopathy (GO). In literature, the incidence of new-onset constant diplopia after orbital decompression varies. Few studies have evaluated changes in duction and cyclodeviation after orbital decompression.

Myopia progression in children during home confinement in the COVID-19 pandemic: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Myopia is a growing pandemic, especially in children, who risk low vision later in life. Home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic may have increased myopia progression through increased screentime, decreased time outdoors and increased near work activities. The aim of this study is to compare progression of myopia in children during home confinement period in the COVID-19 pandemic with pre-COVID-19 progression.

Incidence of A pattern strabismus after inferior rectus recession in patients with Graves' orbitopathy: A retrospective multicentre study.

Introduction And Purpose: Patients with Graves' orbitopathy (GO) may develop restricted elevation; this can lead to hypotropia, sometimes in combination with an abnormal head posture. Recession of one or both inferior rectus muscles is the first line surgery to restore eye motility in these patients. However, this may result in A pattern strabismus.

Psychometric properties of the Dutch version Adult Strabismus-20 Questionnaire (AS-20).

Purpose: Strabismus often has an impact on a patient's quality of life (QoL). The Adult Strabismus-20 questionnaire (AS-20) is an instrument developed to assess the strabismus-specific QoL. The aim was to investigate several psychometric properties of the Dutch-AS-20 among adult patients with strabismus.

Grey Filter Contact Lens as Therapeutic Option for Acquired Reduced Binocular Visual Performance.

Unlabelled: Disturbing binocular problems can be too complex to be treated in such a way that comfortable binocular single vision is restored. The grey filter contact lens could offer a safe and clinically useful way to help these patients.

Background: In unilateral acquired reduced visual performance or intractable diplopia the binocular performance often is less than the performance of the better eye, possibly leading to complaints of binocular visual functioning.

Primary and secondary superior rectus recessions to correct vertical deviations in Graves' orbitopathy patients.

Purpose: Patients with vertical strabismus and consecutive diplopia due to Graves' orbitopathy (GO) might need recession of the rectus superior muscle. The aim of this retrospective analysis is to provide dose-effect values and motility analysis for these patients.

Methods: Dose-effect relations (deviation reduction in primary position per amount of recession in mm), monocular excursions and size of the field of binocular single vision (BSV) were evaluated in three different groups of patients.

A nonsurgical approach with repeated orthoptic evaluation is justified for most blow-out fractures.

Objective: This study presents the results of an updated clinical protocol for orbital blow-out fractures, with a special emphasis on nonsurgical treatment and orthoptic evaluation of functional improvement.

Methods: A two-centre multidisciplinary prospective cohort study was designed to monitor the results of a clinical protocol by assessing ductions, diplopia, globe position, and fracture size. Patients underwent clinical assessment and orthoptic evaluation at first presentation and then at 2 weeks and 3/6/12 months after nonsurgical or surgical treatment.

The Pulfrich Phenomenon: Practical Implications of the Assessment of Cases and Effectiveness of Treatment.

The Pulfrich phenomenon, originally described in normal observers, is a treatable disorder of the perception of movement in depth in cases of unilateral or asymmetric optic neuropathy. Treatment is highly bespoke and factors influencing treatment response and failure remain unclear. We assessed 25 adults with suspected Pulfrich phenomenon due to a range of conditions in two tertiary referral centres.

Surgical Treatment of Diplopia in Graves Orbitopathy Patients.

Purpose: To review the authors' current understanding of motility dysfunction in patients with thyroid eye disease and to summarize appropriate evaluation and available management options.

Methods: Data were retrieved from a systematic search of the literature.

Results: Diplopia is one of the most disabling symptoms for Graves orbitopathy patients.

Objective and subjective outcomes of strabismus surgery in Graves' orbitopathy: a prospective multicentre study.

Purpose: To assess the change and interrelationship of the field of binocular single vision (BSV) and the quality of life (QoL), tested with two different tools, after one or two strabismus surgeries in patients with Graves' orbitopathy (GO).

Methods: Prospectively, consecutive patients with GO who were scheduled for their first strabismus surgery were recruited from five centres specialized in the treatment of GO. One week preoperatively and 3 months after the last operation, a full ophthalmic and orthoptic examination was performed.

Proposal of success criteria for strabismus surgery in patients with Graves' orbitopathy based on a systematic literature review.

Proposal of success criteria for strabismus surgery for patients with Graves' orbitopathy (GO) based on a systematic review of the literature. We performed a systematic search of OVID MEDLINE, OVID Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and the publisher subset of PubMed, to identify studies reporting on success criteria of strabismus surgery in GO. In addition, we handsearched several orthoptic journals and proceedings of strabismological congresses.

Outcome of inferior and superior rectus recession in Graves' orbitopathy patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the surgical effect of unilateral inferior rectus recession (IR-group) with or without a recession of contralateral superior rectus (IR-SR-group) on squint angle and motility restrictions in Graves' Orbitopathy (GO) patients.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Materials And Methods: Primary outcome parameters were the changes of squint angle 3 months and 6-12 months postoperatively.

Unilateral and bilateral medial rectus recession in Graves' Orbitopathy patients.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of uni- and bilateral medial rectus recession on squint angle and ductions in Graves' Orbitopathy (GO) patients.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Materials And Methods: Consecutive GO patients seen between January 2000 and March 2012 who were operated on one or both medial rectus muscles were selected for the study.

Quality of life improves after strabismus surgery in patients with Graves' orbitopathy.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of strabismus surgery on quality of life (QoL) in Graves' orbitopathy (GO) patients.

Design: Prospective study of case series.

Methods: Consecutive GO-patients who were scheduled for their first strabismus surgery were included in the study.

Bilateral inferior rectus muscle recession in patients with graves orbitopathy: is it effective?

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of bilateral inferior rectus recession regarding improvement of elevation, reduction of abnormal head tilt and vertical squint angle in patients with Graves orbitopathy.

Method: Retrospective case series. Patients with Graves orbitopathy who underwent symmetric or asymmetric bilateral inferior rectus recession were selected for this study.

Comparison of cyclodeviation and duction measurement in Graves' orbitopathy patients using different devices.

Purpose: To compare measurement outcomes of different devices measuring cyclodeviation and ductions in Graves' orbitopathy (GO) patients.

Methods And Materials: Cyclodeviation in GO patients was measured using the Harms tangent screen (HTS), the cycloforometer of Franceschetti, and the synoptometer. Ductions were measured using the modified perimeter, the Goldmann perimeter and the Maddox tangent scale (MTS).
