Article Abstract

Purpose: Analysis of the results of medical examination and treatment of infants with squint and undeveloped fixation reflex, and with nystagmus.

Material And Methods: 215 babies with these distempers were classified to the treatment. The children were included into five prophylactic groups: group 1-66 babies with eccentric fixation and without squint or with periodic squint; group 2-60 babies with acentric fixation and with manifested convergent squint at a visual angle from 25 degrees to 45 degrees (average 35 degrees); group 3-55 babies with correct fixation and with manifested convergent squint at a visual angle from 25 degrees to 45 degrees (average 35 degrees), and with divergent squint at a visual angle from 5 degrees to 20 degrees (average 12.5 degrees); group 4-12 babies with correct fixation and with periodic squint; group 5-22 babies with nystagmus. The treatment consisted in wearing spherical and prismatic glasses strictly compensating the squint angle, and in the treatment of eccentric fixation with euthyscope irradiations. The babies with nystagmus were treated conservatively by prisms correcting head arrangement.

Results: Eventually the squint angle reduced and fixation reflex in part of all tested groups. In our opinion, the treatment of very small children by localisation method prisms is very useful.

We employed high-resolution fMRI to distinguish the impacts of anisometropia and strabismus amblyopia on the evoked ocular dominance (OD) response. Sixteen amblyopic participants (8 females) plus 8 individuals with normal vision (1 female), participated in this study for whom, we measured the difference between the response to stimulation of the two eyes, across areas V1-V4.In controls, the evoked OD response formed the expected striped pattern within V1.

Objective: To investigate the effects of minimally invasive strabismus surgery (MISS) on tear film function and ocular surface status in patients with strabismus.

Methods: We respectively analyzed the clinical data from 173 cases of strabismus patients treated at Xi'an First Hospital from September 2021 to March 2024. The patients were classified into a minimally invasive group (n=91, undergoing MISS) and a conventional group (n=82, undergoing traditional strabismus correction) according to their treatment plans.

Objective: To explore the application value of Internet Family Engagement Continuum of Care in strabismus ambulatory surgery and evaluate its impact on postoperative complications, children's quality of life, and parental satisfaction.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 257 children who underwent strabismus ambulatory surgery in our hospital from February 2022 to December 2023. The children were divided into a control group (n=149), which received routine nursing services and telephone follow-up, and an observation group (n=108), which received Internet Family Engagement Continuum of Care through a mobile medical platform.

Efficacy of light-transmitting eye shields for wound dressing in preventing pediatric emergence agitation following bilateral strabismus surgeries: a randomized clinical trial.

Korean J Anesthesiol

January 2025

Department of Anesthesiology, State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology Visual Science, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases, Jinsui Road 7th, Tianhe District, Guangzhou, Guangdong 510060, China.

Background: Emergence agitation (EA) occurs in preschool children after ophthalmic surgery as eye shields induce visual disturbance. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of light-transmitting eye shields as an alternative to traditional medical gauze eye shields for wound dressing in terms of EA incidence following strabismus surgery.

Methods: We randomly assigned 70 preschool children undergoing bilateral strabismus surgery to receive either light-transmitting (LT group, n = 35) or medical gauze (MG group, n = 35) eye shields upon the completion of surgery.

Introduction: Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) is a congenital anomaly associated with significant surgical challenges, including a high risk of postoperative retinal detachment (RD). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of surgical approach and axial length (AL) on RD risk and visual outcomes in pediatric PFV management.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 76 eyes of 74 patients who underwent cataract surgery for PFV between 2014 and 2022.
