The evaluation of office control in intermittent exotropia: a systematic approach
The American Orthoptic Journal
|December 15, 2010
Abstract
Introduction:
The clinical assessment of control in childhood intermittent exotropia is difficult to characterize and document. Yet the quality of control often dictates when to proceed with treatment for X(T).
Methods:
A prospective method to evaluate and document control in children with X(T) is presented, utilizing the timeliness of the recovery of fusion after brief and prolonged binocular dissociation.
Conclusion:
This assessment provides a method to systematically observe, describe, and document the control of X(T) in an office setting.

01:17Accessory Structures of the Eye
Optical perception, or vision, is an extraordinary sense dependent on converting light signals received via the ocular organs. These organs, known as eyes, are securely positioned within the bony cavities of the skull, called orbits. The orbits serve a dual purpose: a protective shield for the ocular globes and a stable attachment point for the soft ocular tissues. The eye's external protective mechanisms include the eyelids, which are edged with lashes that act as a barrier against foreign...
01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
