Botulinum alignment for congenital esotropia.

This is the first report of a group of patients with congenital esotropia examined for motor and sensory evidence of binocularity a minimum of 3 years after alignment by botulinum. Evidence for binocularity was clearly present in approximately one half of the patients. Lag time to satisfactory alignment was at least 1 month (average, 5 months) following the initial botulinum injection. The results must be considered preliminary. However, when these results are compared with those of patients with congenital esotropia aligned by incisional surgery by age 2 years and examined with the same testing devices by this same investigator, botulinum alignment appears to be less effective than surgical alignment in establishing evidence for binocularity (P < 0.005).

Infection following strabismus surgery.

Sixty-three strabismus surgeons were surveyed regarding the incidence of infection they found following strabismus surgery and their use of preoperative and postoperative antibiotics to prevent or treat such infections. Cellulitis was rare (1 per 1900 cases) and endophthalmitis was even rarer (1 per 30,000 cases). Infection was not entirely prevented by either preoperative or postoperative topical antibiotics. Twelve surgeons reported using no antibiotics but did not report higher rates of infection than those who did use them.

Potential acuity meter to predict postoperative visual acuity.

Thirty-three eyes were examined with the potential acuity meter (PAM) to determine preoperatively the expected visual acuity for patients undergoing cataract surgery. The preoperative visual acuity was compared to the best postoperative visual acuity. Although several patients had moderate macular degeneration as well as cataracts, there was an overall accuracy to within two lines of the best visual acuity in 96% of patients. There was a tendency to underestimate rather than overestimate postoperative visual acuity when these readings were in error. The instrument was only used if the cataract examined had some clarity. Older patients who were unsteady had difficulty performing the test.

The development of corneal astigmatism in contact lens wearers.

In this study of 131 eyes, a comparison of the corneal astigmatism present before wearing hard contact lenses was made with that found after several years of wear (mean length of time: 4.4 years). The eyes were divided into 3 groups according to their ocular rigidity measurements. Statistical analysis of these groups showed that eyes with low ocular rigidity developed a high incidence of with-the-rule astigmatism change and that, furthermore, this change was of significant amount (twice that developed by eyes in the other groups). It was notable that all of the eyes that developed more than 1 1/2 diopters of astigmatism had low ocular rigidity.
