Purpose: Fell's modification of the Harada-Ito (HI) procedure is often used to tackle subjective torsion usually following superior oblique palsy. There is limited published data on the longer-term outcomes and the effect on horizontal incomitance of the procedure. The purpose of this study is to report on the medium to long-term outcomes of the HI procedure.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of 20 patients who had all undergone a single surgeon modified HI procedure to correct subjective torsion was undertaken. Follow-up data were analyzed in relation to stability of torsion measurements, the effect on vertical incomitance of horizontal deviation and the final treatment outcome.
Results: There was a significant reduction in median maximum torsion from preoperative to immediately post-op ( < .01) and there remained a significant difference in maximum torsion from preoperative measurement at both the 3-month ( = .02), and 12-twelve month ( = .01) follow-up. HI had a significant effect on associated V-pattern esotropia ( < .05).
Conclusion: The HI procedure is effective in eliminating subjective torsion initially and reducing incomitant horizontal deviation; however, regression toward preoperative torsion measurement occurs after time.

Boergen modification of Harada-ito surgery with and without vertical muscle surgery for acquired unilateral superior oblique muscle palsy.
Oman J Ophthalmol

Department of Ophthalmology, Poostchi Ophthalmology Research Center, School of Medicine, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran.
Purpose: The purpose is to report the results of the Boergen modification of the Harada-Ito procedure with and without simultaneous vertical muscle surgery in patients with acquired unilateral superior oblique muscle palsy.
Patients And Methods: Files of patients with acquired unilateral superior oblique muscle palsy who were treated with Boergen modification of the Harada-Ito procedure were studied retrospectively. For each patient, age at the time of surgery, the presence of diplopia, compensatory head posture, and ocular deviation before and after surgery were retrieved.

To review and evaluate the surgical outcomes of the Fells-modified Harada-Ito procedure using a dosage scale approach with long-term follow up in patients with torsional diplopia. The records of patients who underwent the modified Harada-Ito procedure by the same surgeon during 2012-2019 were retrospectively reviewed regarding pre- and post-operative data and individual dose-scale used for the surgery. The modified Harada-Ito procedure involved advancing the anterior half of the superior oblique tendon toward the inferior edge of the lateral rectus muscle by a distance determined using a five-graded scale.

Background: Adjustable bilateral Harada-Ito procedures have been described, sometimes with asymmetric adjustment used to correct vertical misalignment when coexisting with torsional strabismus. We investigated the causes of significant postoperative torsional incomitance noted in some patients undergoing these procedures.
Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent bilateral Harada-Ito procedures for bilateral trochlear nerve palsy between 1980 and 2018 were reviewed retrospectively.

Purpose: To describe the possibility of complex strabismus surgical simulation on goat eyes.
Methods: The goat eyes were procured from local slaughterhouse with retained extra ocular muscle tissues. The obtained eyes were inspected for globe integrity, muscle quality, muscle length, and the surrounding teno-conjunctival layers.
