This case report describes a 17-year-old boy with sensory strabismus due to keratoconus and an ipsilateral nodular lesion of the bulbar conjunctiva. The aligned eye was the right eye and keratoconus in this eye was of late onset. Vision in the left eye was poor and keratoconus was advanced in this eye. Due to the longstanding nature of the keratoconus and its occurrence in a developmentally sensitive period, sensory exotropia had developed in the left eye. There was a nodular lesion of the bulbar conjunctiva in the ipsilateral eye. If keratoconus occurs before the age of 7 years and the prolonged visual loss is not corrected, sensory strabismus can develop, as in this patient.

Multiple Factors Causing Variability of Alignment in Childhood Concomitant Strabismus.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify factors affecting alignment variability in children with concomitant strabismus, which includes conditions like esotropia and exotropia.
- It involved 197 children undergoing repeated tests by certified orthoptists, determining alignment stability based on measurement differences of less than 10 prism diopters.
- Results indicated that suppression and anisometropia significantly influence measurement variability, and larger angles of strabismus correlate with greater alignment variability, especially at a distance.

Department of Ophthalmology, New Zealand National Eye Centre, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand.
Purpose: To assess the relationship of sensory and motor ocular dominance to transient eye closure (TEC) under bright light conditions in patients with intermittent exotropia.
Methods: Forty patients (age range, 7-40 years) with intermittent exotropia were included in this prospective study. Motor and sensory ocular dominance were evaluated using the hole-in-the-card and Worth 4-Dot tests.

A 39-year-old male patient presented to the outpatient department (OPD) with chief complaints of outward deviation of the right eye (RE) since six months of age, associated with a diminution of vision in the same eye since childhood. He had a history of spectacle use for distance for the past eight years. He was thoroughly evaluated in the OPD and diagnosed with RE high myopia with sensory exotropia.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of pencil push-up training and binocular vision training in treating post-operative mild under-correction in patients with intermittent exotropia.
Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted, including patients who underwent surgery for intermittent exotropia at Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between June 2022 and January 2023 and experienced post-operative mild under-correction (-8∆ to -15∆). Patients were divided into two groups: pencil push-up training group and binocular vision training group.
