Introduction: The treatment of strabismus associated with myopia is often a therapeutic challenge for the ophthalmologist. The strabismus associated with myopia has certain peculiarities and there are even certain types of strabismus that occur exclusively in myopia, such as strabismus fixus, requiring treatments with specific surgical techniques.
Materials And Methods: It is important to make a correct differential diagnosis, because there are many conditions described with this association. A review is presented of strabismus associated with myopia, together with its treatment adjusted to refractive error.
Results: Measurements of strabismus may be altered by the prismatic effect of the spectacles. Surgical results may be unpredictable if myopia is not taken into account. Better results were obtained with the techniques of anatomical replacement described by Yokoyama than with traditional retro-insertion-resection.
Conclusion: For the diagnosis and appropriate treatment of strabismus, it is important to make a correct measurement of the angle of deviation, and perform image tests prior to surgery in certain cases. The anatomical characteristics of the myopic eye should also be taken into account during surgery.

Exposure keratopathy (EK) is an underestimated ocular surface disorder that involves multiple underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms. It results from an exposed cornea due to different causes of eyelid insufficiency or blinking dysfunction, ocular globe protrusion, a negative orbital vector, and diverse contributing factors leading to impaired ocular surface homeostasis and the potential for vision loss. EK can be congenital, acquired, or induced, and various risk factors predispose patients to exposure to keratopathy.

Background: Long-term ophthalmological manifestations constitute the main functional issue in unicoronal synostosis (UCS), with a large interindividual variability. The relation between preoperative orbital morphology and long-term functional outcome is not fully understood.
Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, non-syndromic UCS patients treated with fronto-orbital advancement and remodelling (FOAR) between 2014 - 2023 at Necker Hospital, Paris, France or Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden were included and paired to controls.

Department of Ophthalmology, Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Centre, Jerusalem, Israel.
Purpose: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the PlusOptix S12C device in detecting amblyopia risk factors (ARFs) in children aged 2-7 years, in accordance with the 2020 Israeli Ministry of Health (MOH) directives and the 2021 American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) guidelines.
Methods: A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital. Children presenting for vision testing were screened using the PlusOptix S12C device, and results were compared with the gold standard cycloplegic refraction and cover test.

Background: Optic nerve sheath hemangiomas (ONSHs) are rare vascular tumors from the blood vessels surrounding the optic nerve, accounting for <1% of optic tumors and 0.5% of vascular malformations. Although benign, their location near the optic nerve poses a risk of significant nerve damage and vision loss.
