A recent article provides valuable insights into different aspects of astigmatism in the Duane Retraction Syndrome (DRS) subtypes. The differing underlying pathophysiology in type II DRS and its higher prevalence in the mentioned study, along with possible age variations among different DRS subtypes, complicates the interpretation of the results. The mechanical forces generated by the co-contraction of the horizontal rectus muscles in patients with Duane Retraction Syndrome (DRS) may contribute to changes in the shape of the cornea, potentially leading to astigmatism. However, the exact mechanism needs further scrutiny, considering all possible contributing factors.

This response addresses readers' comments on our study published in BMC Ophthalmology, which analyzed astigmatic variations among Duane Retraction Syndrome (DRS) subtypes. We clarified that our retrospective study relied on clinical data rather than advanced imaging due to practical limitations. Differences in DRS subtype prevalence were attributed to our focus on patients requiring surgical intervention rather than general epidemiological patterns.

Objectives: To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with abnormal head posture (AHP) due to ocular causes and investigate the effect of treatment on the change in AHP.
Materials And Methods: Patients with AHP admitted to the strabismus unit of our clinic between 2011 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients' clinical and demographic data and change in AHP after treatment were recorded.

: Cysticercosis is a systemic parasitic disease caused by the larvae of the tapeworm Taenia and has varied clinical manifestations. Ocular involvement can be intraocular or extraocular and can mimic various etiologies and patterns of strabismus. This study reports 3 cases of orbital myocysticercosis mimicking clinical presentation of inverse Duane's retraction syndrome and discuss the clues to the clinical diagnosis.

Duane Retraction Syndrome (DRS) and Monocular Elevation Deficiency (MED) are two distinct congenital strabismus entities that have not been reported simultaneously until now. Thirty percent of individuals with DRS present with various congenital ocular and non-ocular anomalies. A 16-year-old girl presented with right eye ptosis and ocular deviation since birth.
