Superior oblique tuck: evaluation of surgical outcomes.

Purpose: To report the surgical outcomes of the superior oblique tuck procedure in the management of superior oblique palsies performed at a single centre over a 25-year period.

Methods: A retrospective study of superior oblique tuck performed as a primary and secondary procedure by a single surgeon over a 25-year period between 1992 and 2016. We evaluated patient demographics, the angle of deviation pre- and post-surgery in prism dioptres (PD), amount of muscle tuck surgery performed (mm), complications (iatrogenic Brown's Syndrome) and improvement of diplopia post-operatively.

Single Injection of Bupivacaine for Correction of Strabismus.

A retrospective review of 30 patients with eso/exodeviations less than 20 prism diopters (PD) who underwent one injection of BPX into their medial/lateral rectus was carried out. Preoperative deviations were recorded in PD, using the alternate prism cover test. Postoperative angles at 1 and 3 months were measured in the same manner.

Treatment of "heavy eye syndrome" using simple loop myopexy.

Purpose: To describe our results using a technique modified from that described by Yokoyama in 1991 for treating heavy eye syndrome with high myopia by restoring the normal anatomical relationship of superior rectus and lateral rectus. We perform a simple loop myopexy between superior rectus and lateral rectus without concurrent muscle splitting, medial rectus recession, or scleral fixation.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of records of all patients with heavy eye syndrome who underwent our modified simple loop myopexy procedure between 2005 and 2008.

The psychosocial aspects of strabismus: correlation between the AS-20 and DAS59 quality-of-life questionnaires.

Purpose: To compare two quality-of-life (QoL) scales and subscales: the Derriford Appearance Scale 59 (DAS59) and the Adult Strabismus-20 (AS-20) scale in a series of strabismic and nonstrabismic patients and to illustrate the differences in results between strabismic and nonstrabismic patients.

Methods: The DAS59 is a self-report QoL questionnaire generating an assessment of distress caused by problems of appearance. The AS-20 is a newly developed strabismus specific QoL scale.
