Purpose: To investigate the results of patients undergoing surgical treatment for strabismic diplopia in thyroid eye disease (TED) following teprotumumab.
Design: Multicenter, retrospective, case series.
Methods: We report 28 patients who underwent extraocular muscle surgery for strabismic diplopia after treatment with teprotumumab at 7 different academic centers. Elapsed time from last teprotumumab dose to the date of surgery, previous orbital decompression, primary preoperative horizontal and vertical deviation, surgical procedure, and 2-month postoperative results were collected from the patient records.
Results: Sixteen (57%) patients were diplopia-free after 1 surgery. Three (11%) chose prism spectacles to correct residual diplopia, 2 (7%) used compensatory head posture to resolve diplopia, and 1 (4%) had intermittent diplopia and was functionally improved (choosing no prisms or further surgery). These were considered treatment successes. Three (11%) patients required reoperation, and all were diplopia-free after their second procedure.
Conclusions: Most patients requiring surgery for strabismic diplopia following teprotumumab achieve good outcomes with success rates comparable to series published before the availability of teprotumumab.

Effect of binasal occlusion in children with esotropia.
Transl Pediatr
November 2024
Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology, Affiliated Hospital of Yunnan University, Kunming, China.
Background: Esotropia is a common pediatric ophthalmologic disorder that, if left untreated, can have a significant impact on the binocular visual function and appearance of the child. Binasal occlusion (BNO) is a non-surgical measure to alleviate the impact of esotropia. But there is no consistent theoretical basis for BNO and its therapeutic efficacy has been controversial.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFamilial exudative retinopathy (FEVR) is a hereditary disease involving abnormal retinal vascular development in which macular heterotopia (MH) caused by mechanical-like pulling of the vitreous may lead to pseudo-strabismus. We describe the case of a 12-year-old male patient from China who presented to our hospital with a request for surgical correction of exotropia. Examination revealed that the strabismic appearance was due to MH, and dilated pupil examination of the peripheral fundus revealed that the blood vessels of the left eye and the macula were displaced toward the temporal retina by pulling, and further FFA examination was performed to diagnose FEVR.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: To investigate the association of strabismic angle obtained by simultaneous prism and cover test (SPCT) and prism alternate cover test (PACT) with the final power of Press-On prism used in adults with symptomatic strabismus.
Methods: The medical records of consecutive patients seen by a single orthoptist at an urban, tertiary care hospital over a 36-month period were reviewed retrospectively. All subjects had been prescribed Press-On prism for diplopia after evaluation with SPCT and PACT measurements at distance fixation.

Strabismus is more than a misalignment; a cross-sectional pilot study of HRQOL in Finnish strabismic adults referred to a university hospital.
Acta Ophthalmol
June 2024
Health Sciences, Faculty of Social Sciences, Tampere University, Tampere, Finland.
Purpose: To evaluate associations between the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and demographic, self-reported strabismus-related and orthoptic status variables in Finnish strabismic adults.
Methods: Participants (n = 137) of this study were adult patients who previously participated in the pilot study to translate and validate Adult Strabismus Questionnaire (AS-20) into Finnish. For this study, the participants' orthoptic status were collected among the previously obtained self-reported demographic and strabismus-related data.
