Purpose: To determine the influence of previous treatments other than the surgical treatment of restrictive myopathy resulting from dysthyroid orbitomyopathy.
Methods: The outcome of 23 cases with dysthyroid orbitomyopathy was evaluated after extraocular muscle surgery.
Results: It has been observed that the duration of the orbitomyopathy, severity of myopathy of the deviation angle, and the modality of treatment prior to surgery (radiotherapy and corticotherapy) did not influence surgical outcome. Binocular single vision was achieved in primary and reading positions in 14 of 23 cases (60.9%) after surgery while prisms were required to achieve the same result in 5 cases (21.7%).
Conclusion: It is concluded that previous treatment does not influence the results of extraocular muscle surgery in patients with dysthyroid orbitomyopathy.

Purpose: Phenylephrine testing prior to Müller muscle conjunctival resection has traditionally been used to predict postoperative outcomes. The purpose of this study is to determine if preoperative phenylephrine testing impacts postoperative changes in eyelid position.
Methods: In this multicenter cross-sectional cohort study, 270 eyelids of participants with involutional ptosis and levator function >12 mm who underwent Müller muscle conjunctival resection were divided into 2 comparison groups.

Vertebrates stabilize gaze using a neural circuit that transforms sensed instability into compensatory counterrotation of the eyes. Sensory feedback tunes this vestibulo-ocular reflex throughout life. We studied the functional development of vestibulo-ocular reflex circuit components in the larval zebrafish, with and without sensation.

To explore the efficacy of the modified lateral rectus muscle splitting and nasal transposition surgery in treating large-angle exotropia caused by oculomotor nerve palsy and its impact on ocular motility. Retrospective case series study. Data was collected from patients diagnosed with large-angle exotropia due to oculomotor nerve palsy and treated by modified lateral rectus muscle splitting and nasal transposition surgery at the Tianjin Eye Hospital from January 2020 to October 2023.

Intermittent exotropia (IXT) is the most common type of strabismus, with surgical interventions standing as its main therapeutic modality. In recent years, with the rapid development of the strabismus and pediatric ophthalmology subspecialties, surgical correction for IXT has become a routine practice across numerous institutions in China. However, the surgical success rate is not high and tends to decline with longer follow-up periods.

Article Synopsis
- Synergistic divergence, or type IV Duane syndrome, is a congenital disorder marked by unusual eye muscle control leading to both eyes moving outward when trying to look to one side.
- A case study of a 23-year-old man highlighted his strabismus surgery to address a significant right exotropia and a left head turn developed for better vision since childhood.
- The surgery involved a combination of a 14 mm recession of the right lateral rectus and a 10 mm resection of the right medial rectus, suggesting this approach as an effective treatment for the condition.
