Impact of a Strabismus Surgery Suture Course for First- and Second-Year Ophthalmology Residents
Conclusions:A strabismus course can play an important role in preparing residents for strabismus surgery.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 201X;XX(XX):XX –XX.]</div> (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)

Torpedo Maculopathy in a 6-Month-Old Infant: Early Clinical and Optical Coherence Tomography Findings
A 6-month-old male infant presented for routine ophthalmologic examination. Indirect ophthalmoscopy revealed a flat, oval, hypopigmented lesion located in the temporal macula in the right eye with the tip pointing toward the fovea, which was compatible with torpedo maculopathy. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was performed at the time of diagnosis. OCT scans of the lesion revealed slight retinal pigment epithelium hyperreflectivity. This case serves as the earliest OCT finding of the youngest patient diagnosed as having torpedo maculopathy in the literature.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus<...

Animal Model for Retinopathy of Prematurity Laser Surgery Training
Peripheral retinal laser ablation for high-risk retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) improves visual outcomes. Some pediatric ophthalmology fellows receive little exposure to this procedure. The authors identified and evaluated an animal teaching model that simulates peripheral retinal laser ablation in human infants with ROP.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2017;54:e47 –e49.] (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)

Managing Hypoplasia of the Inferior Rectus Muscle by Inferior Oblique Anterior Transposition in Children
Congenital hypoplasia or aplasia of the inferior rectus muscle is an uncommon condition. The authors present two pediatric patients with hypoplasia of the inferior rectus muscle treated by inferior oblique anterior transposition. The long-term follow-up outcomes of eye position and stereopsis acuity development were favorable.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2017;54:e50 –e53.] (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)

Strabismus After Ocular Surgery
Many types of ocular surgery can cause diplopia, including eyelid, conjunctival, cataract, refractive, glaucoma, retinal, and orbital surgery. Mechanisms include direct injury to the extraocular muscles from surgery or anesthesia, scarring of the muscle complex and/or conjunctiva, alteration of the muscle pulley system, mass effects from implants, and muscle displacement. Diplopia can also result from a loss of fusion secondary to long-standing poor vision in one eye or from a decompensation of preexisting strabismus that was not recognized preoperatively. Treatment, which typically begins with prisms and is follo...

Retrospective Study of Visual Outcomes and Complications After Sutureless, Flapless, and Glueless Intrascleral Fixation of Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens in Children and Young Adults
Conclusions:The technique of flapless, glueless, and sutureless scleral fixation of a three-piece IOL has shown significant improvement in visual acuity and does not cause significant complications postoperatively.[J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 201X;XX(XX):XX –XX.]</div> (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)

Inferior Oblique Overaction: Anterior Transposition Versus Myectomy
Conclusions: Both the inferior oblique myectomy and anterior transposition procedures are effective in reducing IOOA with similar satisfactory results. DVD and hypertropia were also corrected similarly by these two surgical procedures.

Comparison of Objective and Subjective Techniques of Strabismus Measurement in Adults With Normal Retinal Correspondence
Conclusions: The red glass test was more likely to measure a larger deviation at distance and near and to identify a vertical deviation not seen objectively at both distance and near. The mean difference between the tests was usually not large enough to affect surgical treatment, but could potentially result in different amounts of prescribed prism for patients treated optically.

Patient Characteristics and Surgical Approach Impacting Simultaneous to Alternate Prism Cover Test Disparity After Exotropia Surgery: A Quantitative Look at the Difference in Motor Outcomes
Conclusions: Although a greater postoperative SPCT –APCT disparity was confirmed for patients with intermittent exotropia, it also independently associated with a larger preoperative deviation and surgery without medial rectus resection. Performing medial rectus resection, a surgeon's prerogative, provides more apparently consistent postoperative alignment characterized by less SPCT–APCT disparity.

Anatomical Characterization of the Nasolacrimal Canal Based on Computed Tomography in Children With Complex Congenital Nasolacrimal Duct Obstruction
Conclusion: Computed tomography is useful for delineation of anatomical characteristics of the nasolacrimal canal and to diagnose nasolacrimal canal malformation. Malformed nasolacrimal canals are of two main types: fundamental and special. Hydrostatic pressure in the lacrimal duct appears to the underlying mechanism as enlargement of the nasolacrimal canal in the unilateral fundamental type.

Comparison of Minimally Invasive Strabismus Surgery (MISS) and Conventional Strabismus Surgery Using the Limbal Approach
Conclusions: This study shows that this new, small incision, minimal dissection technique is feasible. The MISS technique seems to be superior in the immediate postoperative period because there were fewer conjunctival and eyelid swelling complications. Long-term results did not differ between the two groups. [ J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2017;54(4):208 –215.]</div> (Source: Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus)
