The effect of low hypermetropia correction and office-based orthoptic training on binocular vision parameters in children with convergence insufficiency.
J AAPOS
January 2025
Department of Binocular Vision Pathophysiology and Strabismus, Medical University of Lodz, University Barlicki Hospital No.1, Lodz, Poland.
Purpose: To determine the effect of low hypermetropia correction and orthoptic exercises on binocular visual function in children with symptomatic convergence insufficiency.
Methods: This was a prospective, randomized intervention with a 3-month follow-up. Consecutive pediatric patients with convergence insufficiency and hypermetropia who met inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: spectacle correction and orthoptic training (group 1), spectacle correction alone (group 2) and orthoptic training alone (group 3).

Methods: A retrospective review of case-notes of patients attending the paediatric ophthalmology and strabismus clinic from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 was done.
Is inferior oblique botulinum toxin injection an effective surgical simulator prior to inferior oblique myectomy? A 30-year retrospective review.
Strabismus
January 2025
Ophthalmology Department, Aintree University Hospital, Liverpool, UK.
Botulinum toxin A (BTX) injected into the inferior oblique muscle temporarily simulates the post-operative effect of an inferior oblique myectomy (IOM). This can aid in surgical planning, especially given the irreversible nature of IOM. This study evaluates the efficacy of BTX as a pre-operative simulator and compares its effects to those of IOM.

Neurology, Neurology and Neurophysiology Center, Vienna, AUT.
The combination of thumb aplasia, epilepsy, cognitive impairment, skeletal deformities, and myopathy has not been previously reported. The patient is a 22-year-old man with congenital bilateral thumb aplasia, developmental delay, and cognitive impairment who suffered a first tonic-clonic seizure at the age of 16 and was treated with valproic acid (VPA). At the age of 22, lamotrigine was added due to seizure recurrences and absences.

J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus
January 2025
This report describes the longest case of a retained metallic intraorbital foreign body with no complications and development of delayed sensory exotropia following traumatic sclopetaria in childhood. A 9-year-old girl suffered a BB gun injury to the left eye, leading to chorioretinitis sclopetaria and loss of vision. The visual acuity was 20/800 with a relative afferent pupillary defect and choroidal rupture with subretinal hemorrhage that evolved to sclopetaria over time.
