[Histological examination of resected eye muscles in concomitant squint (author's transl)]. / Histologische Untersuchungen von resezierten Augenmuskeln beim Begleitschielen

The changes of muscle tissue are found as well in convergent as in divergent squint, especially in insufficiency of convergence. The histological changes are more pronounced in monocular strabism but they can also be found in alternating squint. They are observed in early occuring strabismus, but especially frequently in patients with a large angle of squint, in cases of severe amblyopia and defective binocular vision. The errors of refraction make no influence. All histological changes, described in this paper, have been already found in eye muscles of little children.
