Introduction: A lot of different techniques have been proposed in order to manage abduction limitation secondary to sixth nerve palsy; however, anterior segment ischemia remains a concern. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of augmented vertical recti muscle transposition (VRT) with partial recession of medial rectus muscle (MR) for complete, chronic sixth nerve palsy, a new modified technique that could also minimize the risk for anterior segment ischemia (ASI).

Aim: To evaluate the frequency and pattern of disease-associated mutations of gene among Greek patients with presumed Stargardt disease (STGD1).

Materials And Methods: A total of 59 patients were analyzed for mutations using the ABCR400 microarray and PCR-based sequencing of all coding exons and flanking intronic regions. MLPA analysis as well as sequencing of two regions in introns 30 and 36 reported earlier to harbor deep intronic disease-associated variants was used in 4 selected cases.
