Long-term study of accommodative esotropia.

Purpose: This study aimed, using a large sample size, to determine the long-term results of standard treatment of accommodative esotropia and identify predictors of outcome while minimizing bias in data collection and analysis.

Methods: Data from all the files of a large, long-established pediatric ophthalmology practice were collected and analyzed using a masked protocol. The study included every esotropic patient who had been prescribed glasses.

Screening for amblyopia in preverbal children with photoscreening photographs: IV. Interobserver variability in photograph grading: origin and method of reduction.

Background: Earlier detection of childhood vision disorders is a prominent goal of vision screening. The Medical Technology and Innovation (MTI) PhotoScreener addresses this objective. Use of this camera does not require verbal feedback and may be administered early in a child's development.

Long-term study of accommodative esotropia.

Purpose: Previous studies of accommodative esotropia have been hampered by bias-prone methods of data collection and analysis and by small sample size. The studies have conflicting conclusions, causing uncertain results. This study aims to determine long-term results of standard treatment of accommodative esotropia and identify predictors of outcome, while minimizing bias in data collection and analysis, using the largest possible sample size.

The association between myopic shift and visual acuity outcome in pediatric aphakia.

Purpose: The advent of intraocular lens implantation after pediatric cataract surgery necessitates an increased understanding of refractive development. The significant variation in rate and amount of refractive change among eyes, both aphakic and pseudophakic, is well recognized, although the causes of such variation remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to determine if a correlation exists between the rate of refractive growth (RRG) and visual acuity outcome in pediatric aphakia.
