Purpose: To translate and validate the Adult Strabismus 20 (AS-20) questionnaire, a health-related quality of life questionnaire specifically devised for patients with strabismus.

Methods: The AS-20 was translated in accordance with the principles of good practice for the translation and cultural adaptation process for patient-related outcomes (PRO) according to the methodology recommended by the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcome Research (ISPOR). The translation, evaluation, and validation were performed in several steps.

To review and evaluate the surgical outcomes of the Fells-modified Harada-Ito procedure using a dosage scale approach with long-term follow up in patients with torsional diplopia. The records of patients who underwent the modified Harada-Ito procedure by the same surgeon during 2012-2019 were retrospectively reviewed regarding pre- and post-operative data and individual dose-scale used for the surgery. The modified Harada-Ito procedure involved advancing the anterior half of the superior oblique tendon toward the inferior edge of the lateral rectus muscle by a distance determined using a five-graded scale.

Purpose: To assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients diagnosed with cyclodeviation and to evaluate subjective change following surgical treatment using the Adult Strabismus-20 (AS-20) questionnaire.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed from 2014 to 2019 on 29 adult patients with cyclodeviation and cyclodiplopia who were due to undergo corrective strabismus surgery by the same surgeon. The group was divided into two subgroups, according to the type of surgery required for fusion.

Purpose: To investigate normative subjective cyclotorsion values and cyclofusion ranges in a healthy adult population.

Methods: A cross-sectional investigation was performed in 120 healthy, non-strabismic adults, 60 men and 60 women in the age range of 18-69 years. All subjects were assessed for cyclotorsion using the synoptophore and the single Maddox rod (SMR) methods.

Purpose: To establish if cyclotorsion measurements obtained in a patient population using different methods of testing give equivalent results, and if the results from each test are repeatable over time.

Methods: Twenty referrals, from the orthoptic waiting list at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Mölndal, Sweden, with vertical deviation stated as the primary reason for referral, were examined. Subjective cyclotorsion measurements using three different methods were performed.

Purpose: To investigate visual function and ocular morphology in children born after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and compare them with visual function and ocular morphology in matched children born after spontaneous conception.

Methods: A total of 137 children born after ICSI and 159 control children were examined at the age of 5 years in a blinded study. The two groups were matched for age, gender and maternal age.
