One-Month Postoperative Horizontal Strabismus Surgery Outcomes Using Adjustable and Nonadjustable Sutures.

Introduction: Previous series suggest adjustable sutures (AS) in adult strabismus surgery yield improved ocular alignment and better success rates compared to nonadjustable sutures (NAS). We questioned whether these differences are clinically significant and whether they justify the added time and discomfort required for AS.

Methods: We reviewed all available records of adults undergoing horizontal strabismus surgery by the last two authors between 2000 and 2014.

Short-term retinal detachment risk after treatment of type 1 retinopathy of prematurity with laser photocoagulation versus intravitreal bevacizumab.

Purpose: To perform a stratified comparison of the short-term risk of retinal detachment after treatment of type 1 retinopathy of prematurity treated with panretinal photocoagulation laser versus intravitreal bevacizumab.

Methods: The medical records of consecutive infants treated for type 1 ROP between 2010 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. An a priori decision was made to divide infants into two groups, those treated before postmenstrual age (PMA) of 36 0/7 weeks and those treated at or after PMA of 36 0/7 weeks.

Acquired, Comitant, Non-Accommodative Esotropia (ANAET): Evaluation, Treatment, and Prognosis.

Children presenting in later childhood with isolated, acquired, comitant non-accommodative esotropia (ANAET) form an unusual clinical group whose evaluation, treatment, and prognosis are unclear. We identified 9 such patients with no evidence of intracranial pathology whose outcomes following standard bilateral medial rectus recessions were excellent.

Long-Term Follow-up of Spasmus Nutans.

Purpose: Spasmus nutans is an acquired form of nystagmus that is classically associated with torticollis and titubations of the head, often presenting in the first year of life and spontaneously resolving within the next 2 years. The purpose of our study was to record and characterize the long-term prognosis of children diagnosed with spasmus nutans.

Methods: All patients under the age of 21 years with a diagnosis of spasmus nutans were included.

Conservative Management of Lower Eyelid Epiblepharon in Children.

Purpose: Although much literature has focused on various techniques to repair epiblepharon, no study has addressed how frequently surgical intervention is required.

Methods: The authors tabulated data from all patients with epiblepharon seen over the past 15 years.

Results: Eighty-nine patients were included, 61 (69%) with tearing, discharge, conjunctival injection, or eye rubbing.
