Purpose: The Philadelphia Eagle Eye Mobile (EEM) provides optometric vision care to children who fail a vision screening performed by nurses at schools in low-income areas.
Methods: Data for children seen on the EEM between 2006 and 2008 for whom school nurse feedback was available regarding glasses wear at 1-, 4-, and 12-month intervals served as the study population. Optometric findings and glasses prescriptions at initial examination were recorded in the EEM database.
Purpose Of Review: To better understand the various causes of Brown's syndrome, provide a historical account of the progression of Brown's syndrome, and to bring attention to clinical characteristics specific to Brown's syndrome.
Recent Findings: The inability to elevate an eye in adduction is a common problem with a number of possible causes usually pointing to cyclovertical muscle involvement. The specific cause can usually be determined by either the three-step test or forced ductions.
