We present 3 cases of successful conventional strabismus surgery to retrieve lost medial rectus (MR) muscles. In all cases the lost MR muscle was retrieved and re-attached to the intended scleral point. Two patients had residual exotropia, while the third case was orthophoric after surgery. The retrieval of lost MR muscle using conventional strabismus surgery technique can be successfully achieved if the lost MR muscle is recognized early and the re-operation is performed by an experienced surgeon.

Introduction: Botulinum toxin is an alternative to conventional strabismus surgery for treatment for acute, acquired, comitant esotropia (AACE). Previous studies suggest that the two 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.

Objective: This study aimed to conduct a network meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of various non-surgical treatments for intermittent exotropia(IXT).
Methods: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, EMbase, and Cochrane Library databases was performed to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) up to June 2024. Following independent screening, data extraction, and bias assessment by two researchers, network meta-analysis was conducted using R 4.
Validation of the Affordable, Portable International Visionkeys System for Visual Acuity and Stereopsis.

Background: A new, portable computerized distance vision testing (screen plus remote) system called VisionKeys has been developed by the missions equipment developer EyeMobil so we validated it compared to conventional research testing devices.
Methods: Using a standardized protocol of surround HOTV optotype presentation, the VisionKeys was compared to M&S for patched monocular distance visual acuity. A different VisionKeys function with anaglyph spectacle distance stereopsis was compared to near stereo on Titmus circles with Polaroid goggles and PDI Check on an autostereoscopic screen.

: Amblyopia is a common disease, and interventions like patching treatment are well studied. When standard therapy fails, sometimes uncommon treatment options become necessary. : We present three cases of patients with severe strabismic amblyopia with initial visual acuities of 20/400, 20/2000 and 20/160 who failed conventional treatment and subsequently received treatment with high-powered contact lenses (HPCL) of either + 22D or + 25D strength.

- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a new 4D digital visual function correction system (4D-DSAAVFCS) combined with standard treatments against standard treatments alone for treating anisometropic amblyopia in children.
- Data was collected on various visual functions like best-corrected visual acuity and stereoscopic vision from 393 children aged 3 to 12 over a year, using different statistical tests to analyze the results.
- Results indicated that the group using the 4D system had a significantly higher cure rate compared to the traditional treatment group, although no substantial differences were found in other visual measurements such as BCVA and latency of P100 wave.
