Background: Esotropia during opiate withdrawal is a new clinical syndrome that has only recently been reported in the literature.
Methods: Clinical case series.
Results: Five patients with acute esotropia during opiate withdrawal are presented. In four there was evidence of underlying hyperopia and/or other strabismogenic features.
Conclusions: The precise cause of esotropia with heroin withdrawal is uncertain. Most (and possibly all) of these patients have one or more objective strabismogenic features, and these are probably a large factor in the causation.

Purpose: To investigate the changes in cerebral hemispheric functional connections in patients with acute acquired concomitant esotropia (AACE) and their relationship with clinical manifestations, utilizing voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC).
Methods: A prospective, observational study was conducted involving 32 AACE patients and 31 age-, sex-, and education-matched healthy controls (HC). The resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) signals, binocular vision function, and psychometric scale scores were collected rs-fMRI data and structural image data were analyzed for VMHC, and a two-sample -test was used to analyze the differences in VMHC between groups.

Acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) is a concomitant strabismus characterized by sudden onset, mostly associated with diplopia. The prevalence of AACE has significantly increased, and various management approaches have been recommended in recent years. This study by the Council of Asia-Pacific Strabismus and Pediatric Ophthalmology Society aimed to provide an overview of the clinical features, etiology and the nonsurgical and surgical treatment recommendations for the condition to equip strabismus specialists with the most updated knowledge.

Introduction: Botulinum toxin is an alternative to conventional strabismus surgery for treatment of acute, acquired, comitant esotropia (AACE). Previous studies suggest that the 2 treatment approaches may be equally effective for 6 months. The purpose of our study was to determine whether botulinum toxin remains as effective as strabismus surgery for 36 months after treatment.

Article Synopsis
- A 21-month-old girl experienced sudden eye misalignment (esotropia) accompanied by fever, conjunctivitis, and rash.
- After developing cardiogenic shock, she was diagnosed with incomplete Kawasaki disease due to the presence of multiple coronary artery aneurysms.
- Treatment with aspirin, infliximab, and intravenous immunoglobulin led to significant improvement in her eye condition, highlighting the potential for abducens nerve palsy as a rare but serious sign of Kawasaki disease.
Media Device Use and Vision Disorders in the Pediatric Age: The State of the Art.

Introduction: Evidence is consistent with increased screen viewing time among children and adolescents, and anticipation at the age at which children interact with media devices. Incorrect use of technology, as well as overuse, may lead to serious consequences. This study aims to revise scientific international literature and to describe the potential eye risks correlated to screen viewing time in the pediatric age.
