Vergence adaptation in esotropia.

Vergence adaptation and anomalous fusional movements have been used by strabismics to overcome prism. There has been controversy in the literature regarding the nature of the vergence responses by esotropes to prism, i.e., fusional, avoidance of fusion, and/or anomalous fusion. This paper reviews the various types of movements made by esotropes to prism and attempts to explain the mechanism. In addition, the relation of these vergence movements to prismatic, orthoptic, and surgical correction is discussed.

Proptosis and increase of intraocular pressure in voluntary lid fissure widening.

The eyeball proptoses about 0.5 mM and increases in intraocular pressure (IOP) about 2 mmHg with voluntary widening of the lid fissure. The findings probably result from the retraction of the upper lid into the orbit, thus increasing the volume of orbit contents and forcing the eyeball forward. Decrease in IOP with repeated tonometry may result, in part, from decay of the increased pressure induced by lid fissure widening.
