Slanted and Standard Lateral Rectus Recession Procedures for Convergence Insufficiency-Type Intermittent Exotropia in Children: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of slanted bilateral lateral rectus recession (BLR-rec) for treating convergence insufficiency-type intermittent exotropia (CI-IXT) in children.

Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 26 patients aged <16 years with CI-IXT who underwent BLR-rec between August 2016 and July 2021 with six months of follow-up data post-surgery were classified into slanted BLR-rec group (n = 14) and standard BLR-rec group (n = 12; equal-length recession of the upper and lower horns of the LR muscle). Surgical outcomes were compared between the groups.

Effects of 0.01% Atropine Instillation Assessed Using Swept-Source Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography.

In this paper, we assessed the short-term effects of 0.01% atropine eye drops on anterior segment parameters by performing ocular biometry using a swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography system (AS-OCT). We recruited 17 healthy volunteers (10 men and 7 women aged 24-35 years) with no history of eye disease.

Anterior Segment Biometry During Accommodation and Effects of Cycloplegics by Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography.

Purpose: We analyzed changes in the crystalline lens during accommodation and the effects of cycloplegics by swept-source anterior-segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).

Materials And Methods: Twenty healthy volunteers (7 males and 13 females, aged 22-34 years), with no history of eye disease except for refractive errors, were recruited. Biometric parameters, including anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), and anterior and posterior curvature of the lens (ACL and PCL), were measured using AS-OCT (CASIA2).
