Fifteen patients with diplopia associated with prior scleral buckling, prior penetrating keratoplasty, severe corneal scarring, monocular aphakia, long-standing strabismus, or prior vertical offsets of the horizontal recti were thought to have disruption of fusion because diplopia could not be eliminated with prisms. They were each found to have a substantial symptomatic cyclotropia unassociated with an obvious dysfunction of an oblique muscle. In 13 patients, diplopia resolved after the cyclotropia was corrected surgically.
The purpose of the Committee on Ophthalmic Procedures Assessment is to evaluate on a scientific basis new and existing ophthalmic tests, devices, and procedures for their safety, efficacy, clinical effectiveness and appropriate uses. Evaluations include examination of available literature, epidemiological analyses when appropriate, and compilation of opinions from recognized experts and other interested parties. After appropriate review by all contributors, including legal counsel, assessments are submitted to the Academy's Board of Directors for consideration as official Academy policy.
