Treatment rate of strabismus and amblyopia is associated with the location of pediatric ophthalmologists in the United States.

Purpose: To determine whether the geographic density of pediatric ophthalmologists is associated with the rate of children treated for strabismus and amblyopia.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included children treated for strabismus and amblyopia 0-17 years of age with commercial insurance who were included in the Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System. Additionally, pediatric ophthalmologists by state were determined using the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus website.

Creating ophthalmology experiences in undergraduate medical education: pilot of a cased-based learning ophthalmology tool.

Purpose: To evaluate medical student perceptions of a novel ophthalmology resource delivered through facilitated workshops in the core clerkship curriculum.

Methods: We created www.2020sim.

Orbital Foraminal Morphometrics in Nonsyndromic Unilateral Coronal Craniosynostosis.

Nonsyndromic unilateral coronal craniosynostosis (UCS) is a rare congenital disorder that results from premature fusion of either coronal suture. The result is growth restriction across the suture, between the ipsilateral frontal and parietal bones, leading to bony dysmorphogenesis affecting the calvarium, orbit, and skull base. Prior studies have reported associations between UCS and visual abnormalities.

Mirror movements identified in patients with moebius syndrome.

Background: Moebius syndrome is a rare disorder with minimum clinical criteria of congenital facial weakness in association with impairment in abduction of one or both eyes. Mirror movements are not known to be associated with Moebius syndrome.

Case Report: We present three patients who meet minimum criteria for a diagnosis of Moebius syndrome and who also display mirror movements.

Characterization of ocular motor deficits in congenital facial weakness: Moebius and related syndromes.

Congenital facial weakness is present in a heterogeneous group of conditions. Among them is Moebius syndrome, which has been defined as a disorder with congenital, non-progressive facial weakness and limited abduction of one or both eyes. It is typically attributed to agenesis of the abducens and facial cranial nerves.
