The sixth cranial nerve, also known as the abducens nerve, is responsible for controlling the movements of the lateral rectus muscle. Palsies on the sixth nerve prevent some muscles that control eye movements from proper functioning, causing headaches, migraines, blurred vision, vertigo, and double vision. Hence, such palsy should be diagnosed in the early stages to treat it without leaving any sequela.

Methods: From October 2016 to December 2019, 15 patients with horizontal deviation of 15-60, 3 associated with vertical deviation of 8 and 12 with vertical deviation of 10-20, underwent horizontal strabismus surgery (recession-plication) in addition to vertical displacement of both horizontal rectus, half or total muscle width, depending on whether the amount of vertical strabismus was small (8) or large (10-20), respectively.
Results: A total of 15 patients (8 females) were included; average age at surgery was 27 years.
Background And Objective: Amblyopia is a public health problem, and strabismus is its primary cause. Our objective is to evaluate the concordance of the diagnosis of strabismus between strabismus expert ophthalmologist and the mhealth application developed for this purpose.
Methods: We evaluated the concordance of the diagnosis of strabismus between the expert ophthalmologist and the mhealth application by screening 224 children and adolescents in the 5-15 years age group, with snapshots of patients' eyes and their analysis thereof.
Strabismus is an eye disease that affects about 0.12%-9.86% of the population, which can cause irreversible sensory damage to vision and psychological problems.

Strabismus is an anomaly that affects approximately 4% of the population. Strabismus modifies vision such that the eyes do not properly align, influencing binocular vision and depth perception.

Many techniques can be applied to settle the muscular balance, thus eliminating strabismus. However, when the conservative treatment is not enough, the surgical treatment is adopted, applying recoils or resections to the ocular muscles affected.

The Hirschberg test is one type of examination for detecting this pathology. Computer-aided detection/diagnosis is being used with relative success to aid health professionals.

The Hirschberg test is one of the exams used to detect this pathology. The application of high technology resources to help diagnose and treat ophthalmological conditions is, lamentably, not commonly found in the sub-specialty of strabismus.
