She had previous complicated strabismus surgery 18 years ago with a report of intraoperative loss of left medial rectus (MR) muscle (not retrieved at the time of surgery). An Orbital MRI of the left eye showed reattachment of the MR muscle to the globe and an axially enlarged globe associated with inferior displacement of the lateral rectus and nasal displacement of the superior rectus muscles. In ultrasonography the axial lengths were 24.1 mm in the right and 29.9 mm in the left eye. She underwent staged surgery: The first stage was a recession of the left MR muscle and union procedure on the SR and LR muscles followed by a second adjustable suture procedure under topical anesthesia, of right MR recession, right LR resection and left IR recession. After 12 months her eyes were still binocularly aligned. Unilateral high myopia must be considered in progressive esotropia. Imaging and ultrasonography can demonstrate anatomical abnormality and muscle paths to confirm the definite diagnosis. Union procedure described by Yokoyama is an effective procedure in correcting this strabismus associated with high myopia. </p>","PeriodicalId":72356,"journal":{"name":"Binocular vision & strabology quarterly, Simms-Romano's","volume":"28 2","pages":"110-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"31553469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Comparison of the INNOVA Visual Acuity System Stereotest with the Frisby-Davis 2 Stereotest for the Evaluation of Distance Stereoacuity.","authors":"Eric L Singman, Noelle S Matta, David I Silbert, Jin Tian","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>Distance stereo acuity has been shown to be useful in monitoring conditions such as control of intermittent strabismus. The Frisby Davis distance (FD2) stereotest has been shown to be reliable and is felt to be the gold standard in England. The device however is not widely available in the United States or Canada and is not automated. This study compares the Innova distance stereoacuity test with the Frisby Davis distance (FD2) stereotest.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Twenty-seven patients with normal acuity and a normal ophthalmology exam were evaluated. Prior to dilation all patients had an Innova distance stereoacuity test and FD2 test. Both the Innova distance stereoacuity test and the FD2 test were performed at ten feet. The results of the tests were compared using Bland-Altman plot analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The INNOVA system tended to underestimate distance stereoacuity by approximately 30 arc seconds compared to the FD2 test. If the INNOVA results were corrected by this amount, then there was a good correlation between the INNOVA results and the FD2.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The Innova distance stereoacuity test underestimates stereopsis by approximately 30 arc seconds but does so with sufficient consistency that it may serve as an acceptable method of measuring distance stereoacuity.
