Effect of monocular vertical displacement on the deviation in primary position
Archives of Ophthalmology (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
|November 1, 1980
Summary
This study compared horizontal surgical correction with and without monocular vertical displacement for A and V patterns. The amount of horizontal surgery needed was the same in both groups, indicating no significant difference.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Strabismus Surgery
Background:
- A and V patterns are common types of strabismus.
- Surgical correction aims to realign the eyes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare horizontal surgical correction with and without monocular vertical displacement for A and V patterns.
- To determine if monocular vertical displacement affects the amount of horizontal surgery required.
Main Methods:
- A retrospective matched-group study.
- One group underwent horizontal surgery without A or V pattern correction.
- The matched group underwent horizontal surgery with monocular vertical displacement for A and V patterns.
Main Results:
- No significant difference was found between the two groups.
- The amount of horizontal surgery was consistent regardless of vertical displacement.
Conclusions:
- Monocular vertical displacement does not alter the determination of the amount of horizontal surgery needed for A and V patterns.
- Standard horizontal surgical techniques can be applied irrespective of A or V pattern management via vertical displacement.
