The rationale of study was to find the magnitude of amblyopia with reference to type of squint among the strabismus patients visiting Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar, Pakistan. After ethical approval, a cross sectional study was carried out in the Department of Ophthalmology, Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar, Pakistan, from April 2022 to October 2022, the total number of patients included being 237. Amblyopia was observed in 113 out of 160 (70.6%) cases of uniocular squint, while in alternating squint it was found to be 11 out of 77 (14.2%). Amblyopia in patients with esotropia was seen in 73.2% (107 out of 146), while 59.3% (54 out of 91) exotropia had associated amblyopia. Strabismus amblyopia leads to developmental arrest of vision in early critical years of life. Permanent visual loss can be avoided with comprehensive screening and detailed examination of strabismic patient.

Amblyopia is a common eye disease that seriously affects children's eye health. The Chinese Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus has carried out a lot of work for the prevention and treatment of amblyopia, but there are still many problems that need to be paid attention to and solved in the amblyopia screening and clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this article, we discuss three aspects of the amblyopia prevention and treatment, including the timing of prevention and treatment according to visual developmental patterns, the standardized treatment of amblyopia, overdiagnosis and commercialization, and the establishment of an efficient amblyopia screening system, for providing guidance for the standardization of clinical practice and improving the level of amblyopia prevention and treatment in China.

Introduction: Horizontal strabismus is a binocular alignment disorder that can lead to significant complications in childhood, such as visual impairment and amblyopia. This study aimed to evaluate the success rates of horizontal strabismus surgery in pediatric patients and to identify the factors affecting surgical outcomes. Specifically, it examined the relationship between surgical success and factors such as age, deviation angle, and amblyopia in pediatric horizontal strabismus cases.

Background: Punctal agenesis (PA) is a rare congenital anomaly that can occur in isolation or as part of an underlying syndrome. The benefit of genetic assessment in individuals with PA and clinical features that should prompt molecular workup has not been systematically studied. The aim of this study was to identify ocular and extraocular features associated with PA and determine its association with an underlying syndrome.
