RESUMEN
PURPOSE: Evaluate and analyze the efficacy of inferior oblique belly transposition (IOBT) in treating adult patients with diplopia and small-angle hypertropia caused by mild to moderate inferior oblique overaction (IOOA) secondary to acquired superior oblique palsy (SOP). METHODS: Nine adult patients with diplopia and small-angle hypertropia associated with mild to moderate IOOA secondary to unilateral acquired SOP were included in the current retrospective study. All patients received the IOBT procedure between February 2019 and May 2023 at The Second People's Hospital of Jinan and were followed up for more than 6 months after the surgery. During the procedure, the belly of the inferior oblique muscle was fixed to the sclera at 5 mm posterior to the temporal insertion of the inferior rectus muscle. The following indicators were reviewed pre- and post-surgery: the vertical deviation (VD) in the primary position and in the Bielschowsky test, the fovea disc angle (FDA) of the affected eye, changes in IOOA, and diplopia. RESULTS: After IOBT, the VD in the primary position decreased from 7.22â³ ± 1.72â³ (range 4â³-10â³) to 1.22â³ ± 1.30â³ (range 0â³-3â³). The VD in the Bielschowsky test decreased from 13.00â³ ± 1.80â³ to 3.22â³ ± 1.09â³. The FDA decreased from 10.02° ± 3.34° to 6.26° ± 1.91°. The grade of IOOA was reduced from 2.00 (1.00, 2.00) to 0.00 (0.00, 1.00). All changes were statistically significant (P < 0.001 or P = 0.006). Diplopia was resolved completely for all patients. CONCLUSIONS: IOBT can effectively treat adults with diplopia and small-angle hypertropia caused by mild to moderate IOOA secondary to acquired SOP.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with complications following inadequate primary orbital fracture repair and to evaluate surgical outcomes of secondary revision orbital reconstruction. METHODS: The authors retrospectively reviewed data from 41 patients who underwent revision orbital reconstruction by a single surgeon following complications from primary orbital fracture repair performed elsewhere. Clinical characteristics, including enophthalmos, exophthalmos, diplopia, ocular motility limitation, epiphora, infraorbital hypoesthesia, infection, eyelid malposition, lagophthalmos, hypoglobus, and compressive optic neuropathy, were assessed. Surgical outcomes of revision surgery were evaluated to determine improvements in clinical deficits and postoperative patient satisfaction. RESULTS: The most common postoperative complications of primary orbital fracture repair were enophthalmos (n=20/41) and diplopia (n=20/41). The mean time between primary and revision surgeries was 67.2 months (range: 1-276 mo). Revision surgery significantly improved enophthalmos, diplopia (Hess area ratio), epiphora (Munk score), periorbital pain, and exophthalmos ( P =0.003, P =0.001, P <0.001, P <0.001, and P =0.007, respectively) compared to the pre-revision state. In addition, 6 patients experienced improved infraorbital hypoesthesia. Among the 41 patients, 23 were very satisfied, 17 were satisfied, and 1 was neutral after revision orbital reconstruction. CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlights the positive impact of revision orbital reconstruction in addressing complications from inadequate primary orbital fracture repair. Surgeons should consider revision surgery to address clinical deficits following prior surgery, especially when anatomic abnormalities are evident in imaging studies, regardless of the time lapse since the initial surgery or concerns about tissue fibrosis and fat atrophy.

We evaluated whether doses of bilateral medial rectus recessions greater than Parks's tables yielded superior outcomes for adult-onset divergence insufficiency. Forty-two patients underwent bilateral medial rectus recessions. Dose was analyzed as the average total per muscle (surgery + suture adjustment if performed) and compared with the standard dose tables (based on preoperative distance esodeviation), as difference between dose performed and dose indicated by Parks's tables. Each participant was classified as having received either Parks's dose (within 0.5 mm) or a dose greater than Parks's dose. Success was defined as "rarely" or "never" diplopia in distance straight-ahead gaze and reading. For patients classified as success, the mean difference between actual surgical dose performed and Parks's dose was calculated. Success was 91% (29/32) in those receiving greater than Parks's dose versus 67% (6/9) with Parks's dose (difference = 24%; 95% CI, -5% to 60%). The mean surgical dose was 1.0 mm greater than Parks's tables for the 35 successes (at 10 weeks) versus 0.7 mm greater for the 6 failures (difference = 0.4 mm; 95% CI, -0.2 to 0.9). For medial rectus recessions in adult-onset divergence insufficiency-type esotropia, a surgical dose 1 mm greater than Parks's tables, for each muscle, is a reasonable strategy.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the surgical effect of the Wright central plication on vertical rectus muscles to correct vertical strabismus. METHODS: In this multicenter, retrospective, observational outcomes study, data were collected from two surgeons in different practice settings (2017-22). All patients who underwent vertical rectus central plication were included; those undergoing any concurrent strabismus surgery for vertical strabismus were excluded. Primary outcome was amount of strabismus correction in prism diopters per vertical rectus central plication. Secondary outcome was to determine factors associated with better or worse surgical outcomes and patient and patient responses. Data were analyzed using descriptive and bivariate statistics. RESULTS: A total of 36 patients were included. Mean age was 60 years. Mean follow-up was 8.4 months. Of the 36 patients, 11 (31%) had idiopathic strabismus, and 7 (19%) had congenital superior oblique palsy. The remainder had a history that included prior ocular surgery, trauma, and Brown syndrome; 16 (44 %) had prior strabismus surgery. Of 31 patients with preoperative diplopia, 23 (74%) had postoperative resolution of diplopia, and 10 of 16 patients with preoperative prisms (63%) no longer required prisms postoperatively. Mean vertical deviation change was 4.7Δ. Subgroup analysis removing patients with congenital superior oblique palsy showed a larger response of 5.5Δ. 78% of patients had a final deviation <5Δ. No complications or induced postoperative diplopia was reported. CONCLUSIONS: In our study cohort, vertical rectus central plication corrected approximately 5Δ (range, 4.5Δ-5.5Δ) of vertical strabismus due to a variety of causes.

To clinically and radiographically evaluate patient-specific titanium meshes via a trans-antral approach for correction of enophthalmos and orbital volume in patients with recent unilateral orbital floor fracture. Seven patients with unilateral orbital floor fractures received patient-specific titanium meshes that were designed based on a mirror-image of the contralateral intact orbit. The patient-specific implants (PSIs) were inserted via a trans-antral approach without endoscopic assistance. The patients were evaluated clinically for signs of diplopia and restricted gaze as well as radiographically for enophthalmos and orbital volume correction. Diplopia was totally resolved in two of the three patients who reported diplopia in the upward gaze. Whereas enophthalmos significantly improved in all but two patients, with a mean value of 0.2229 mm postoperatively compared to 0.9914 mm preoperatively. CT scans showed excellent adaptation of the PSIs to the orbital floor with a mean reduction of the orbital volume from 29.59 cc to 27.21 cc, a mean of 0.6% smaller than the intact orbit. It can be concluded that the proposed PSI can offer good reconstruction of the orbital floor through an isolated intraoral transantral approach with minimal complications. It could of special benefit in extensive orbital floor fractures.

Prompt diagnosis and management of orbital entrapment fractures in the pediatric patient have been advocated. This retrospective study analyzed a cohort of orbital entrapment fractures in pediatric patients with regard to diagnostic pitfalls, treatment and outcomes in a Level I trauma center in Germany. Based on medical records and radiological imaging, patients under the age of 18 years who presented with orbital fractures during 2009-2021 were analyzed. Overall, 125 patients presented with orbital fractures, of whom 29 patients (23.2%) had orbital entrapment fractures. The majority of patients presented with monocle hematoma (n = 23), diplopia (n = 20), and/or restricted extraocular eye movement (n = 14). While all patients with orbital entrapment fractures underwent three-dimensional imaging, 10 radiological reports (34.5%) did not include findings on orbital entrapment fractures. All patients underwent surgical exploration in less than 24 h. In 12 patients, clinical symptoms such as diplopia and restricted ocular elevation were documented upon postoperative evaluation before discharge. Considering the significant proportion of orbital entrapment fractures that are not noted on radiological imaging, prompt clinical examination should be initiated in pediatric patients at risk for orbital fractures. Urgent surgical intervention should be recommended in entrapment fractures.

PURPOSE: Although strabismus surgery outcomes can be objectively measured, patient perception of results may differ. We present surgical outcomes graded by a prospective, "goal-determined metric" and compare these outcomes to results of a patient satisfaction survey. DESIGN: Validity analysis comparing a clinical "goal-determined metric" to patient satisfaction. METHODS: Goal-determined metric outcomes (2018-2021) for 2 surgeons treating esotropia or exotropia for diplopia control or reconstructive goals were collected. Inclusion required completion of postoperative examination 2-6 months after surgery and a satisfaction survey. RESULTS: Record review identified 275 patients; 228 (median age 41 years [interquartile range 13-59]) met inclusion criteria. For the entire cohort, 87% were graded as "excellent" outcomes, and 78% of patients were overall "very satisfied." Agreement between patients' and surgeons' grading was 75% to 79% for all reconstructive surgery and for treatment of diplopia from esotropia. Agreement was lower, although not statistically different, for treatment of diplopia from exotropia (64%, 95% CI 43%-80%; P = .184). Preoperative risk factors, concurrent vertical or oblique surgery, and sex did not affect outcomes or satisfaction. Performance of activities requiring distance viewing improved more than performance of activities at near after esotropia-diplopia surgery (odds ratio 3.0, 95% CI 1.5-6.4; P = .004). For reconstructive cases achieving "much better" eye alignment, 62% and 72% (previously esotropic and exotropic) reported enhanced self-confidence. CONCLUSIONS: Outcomes graded by goal-determined metric correlated well with many aspects of patient satisfaction. Patient-perceived improvement in appearance was important regardless of goal. Greater improvement in performance of activities requiring distance rather than near viewing characterized treatment of diplopia from esotropia.

Preoperative computer-assisted planning and intraoperative navigation are becoming popular for orbital fracture treatment. However, not all institutions currently have access to these computer-aided applications. The authors present a simple and intuitive operative algorithm to guide orbital fracture reconstructions. The operative algorithm was based on linear measurements of orbital defects on high-resolution Computer tomography (CT) scans using specific axial, coronal, and sagittal plane images. The fractures were then divided into 3 types based on site and defect-size area. For each type, the authors suggested a surgical approach and material reconstruction. Between February 2022 and January 2023, 57 patients were treated according to the described CT-based protocol. The quality of reconstruction was classified as ideal, satisfactory, acceptable, and poor based on postoperative CT. Diplopia, enophthalmos, and postoperative complications were assessed. Fifty-seven patients were included. Forty-four (77.2%) patients were included in the type 1 group, 4 (7.01%) in the type 2 group, and 9 (15.79%) in the type 3 group. The reconstruction was considered ideal in 54 (94.7%) cases, satisfactory in 2 (3.5%), and acceptable in 1 (1.8%). No revision surgery was required. In all cases, preoperative diplopia was settled out, and only 1 patient reported postoperative enophthalmos. No complications occurred, with good clinical results and orbital symmetry. The linear CT measurement-based protocol is a simple and reliable workflow to guide the surgeon's choice of reconstruction material and surgical approach for primary orbital reconstruction. It allows good management of orbital trauma and could help standardize treatment decisions with an imaging technique available in all institutions.

To report the results of a series of patients with acquired distance esotropia (ET) who underwent lateral rectus resection.We retrospectively analysed data from 21 symptomatic patients with acquired esotropia who did not tolerate prisms. Twelve patients had myopic esotropia, 5 patients decompensated esophoria and 4 patients age-related distance esotropia. Patients were divided in two groups; myopic and non myopic. Two patients in each group had undergone surgery to medial recti muscles previously. Near and distance angles were measured over 2 visits. Data were analysed with t-test (paired and unpaired).Average age was 47 (myopes), 77 (distance ET) and 26 years (esophoria). Mean spherical equivalent was -4.00 DS (myopes) and + 1 SD (non myopes). Lateral rectus resection ranged between 6 and 8 mm with an average of 7 mm in the myopic group and between 4 and 8 mm with an average of 6 mm in the non-myopic group.The distance angle was reduced from 19 PD to 6 PD in myopes (mean difference 12 PD, p<0.0001) and from 19 PD to 8 PD in non myopes (mean difference 12 PD, p=0.0011). There was no difference in reduction of distance angle between myopes and non-myopes (p=0.771). All patients had complete resolution of diplopia after surgery without needing prisms. Near angle was also fully corrected in 19 patients. One patient with myopia and one patient with distance esotropia went on to have medial rectus recession.Unilateral lateral rectus resection is an effective procedure for acquired distance esotropia in myopic and non-myopic patients.

Objetivo Describir los resultados de sujetos con síndrome «sagging/heavy eye miópico» operados mediante la miopexia supraecuatorial del recto lateral. Método Estudio retrospectivo de 9 casos entre 2017-2023. Se analizaron desviación horizontal, vertical, ambliopía, diplopía, ducciones, torsión, pruebas sensoriales antes y después de la cirugía, patología macular y resonancia magnética orbitaria. El tratamiento se consideró exitoso cuando desaparecía o mejoraba la diplopía y una desviación vertical≤5 dioptrías prismáticas (Dp) al final del seguimiento. Resultados La edad media (DE) fue: 62,11 (4,6) años (100% mujeres). El 88,88% presentaba diplopía. La hipotropía media preoperatoria fue: 11,33Dp (DE 3,16), y la desviación vertical final 3,44Dp (DE 3,05). Tras la cirugía, la hipotropía se invirtió en un caso, quedó subcorregida en 5 y se alcanzó ortoforia en otros 3. La técnica se asoció a la cirugía de otro músculo recto en 4 sujetos. El tiempo medio de seguimiento posquirúrgico fue de 34 meses (DE 34,62). Seis de las 9 pacientes quedaron con una desviación vertical≤5Dp. En 3 pacientes se consiguió eliminar totalmente la diplopía, mientras que en 5 quedó intermitente (3 con patología macular) Conclusión En el tratamiento del «sagging/heavy eye miópico», el supradesplazamiento ecuatorial con miopexia del recto lateral constituye una opción terapéutica si la hipotropía es menor de 12Dp o la técnica de Yokoyama no está indicada. Se obtuvo un buen resultado en más de la mitad de los casos, suprimiéndose totalmente la diplopía en 3 y quedando en otros 5 de forma intermitente (AU)
Purpose To describe the outcome of the patients diagnosed of sagging/heavy eye associated to myopia, that were operated on with the supra-equatorial displacement with lateral rectus myopexy. Methods A retrospective study of 9 cases between 2017 and 2023. The following data were analyzed: horizontal and vertical deviation, diplopia, amblyopia, ductions, ocular torsion, sensorial test, macular pathology, and the orbital magnetic resonance. Treatment was considered successful if the diplopia was improved or eliminated and a final vertical deviation≤5prism diopters (PD). Results The mean age (SD) was: 62.11 (4.6) years (100% women). A total of 88.88% presented diplopia. The mean preoperative hypotropia was: 11.33PD (SD 3.16), and the mean final VD 3.44PD (SD 3.05). After surgery, the hypotropia was overcorrected in one case, under corrected in 5, and orthophoria was achieved in another 3. The technique was associated with surgery of another rectus muscle in 4 subjects. The mean follow-up time after surgery was 34 months (SD 34.62). Six of the 9 patients improved with a vertical deviation≤5PD. In 3 patients, the diplopia was eliminated, while in 5 it remained intermittent (3 with macular pathology). Conclusion Supra-equatorial displacement with lateral rectus myopexy for treatment of myopic sagging/heavy eye is a therapeutic option if hypotropia is less than 12PD or the Yokoyama technique is not indicated. A good result was obtained in most cases, although diplopia could only be totally suppressed in three, and another five remained intermittent (AU)

PURPOSE: To analyze the surgical results of patients treated for superior oblique palsy with coexisting exotropia. METHODS: The medical records of patients with superior oblique palsy and exotropia who underwent inferior oblique weakening and simultaneous lateral rectus recession by a single surgeon from 1996 to 2022 were reviewed retrospectively. Demographics, pre- and postoperative vertical and horizontal deviation, and presence of diplopia were recorded. Surgical success was defined as horizontal deviation <10Δ and vertical deviation ≤4Δ without overcorrection or diplopia. The decision to operate for the horizontal deviation was made based on fusion in free space when the vertical deviation was offset with a prism. RESULTS: A total of 27 patients were included. Mean age was 26.1 ± 22 years (range, 26 months to 78 years). Preoperatively, mean vertical deviation was 15.2Δ ± 7.5Δ (range, 4Δ-30Δ); mean exodeviation, 17Δ ± 5.5Δ (range, 10Δ-35Δ). Of the 27 patients, 25 underwent unilateral and 2 underwent bilateral lateral rectus recession, according to the magnitude of the horizontal deviation. Mean follow-up was 3 ± 3.8 months (range, 2 weeks to 17 months). Postoperative mean vertical alignment was 3.0 ± 5.9, and horizontal alignment was 3.4Δ ± 5.2Δ (esotropia of 7Δ to exotropia of 12Δ; P < 0.0001). Nineteen patients (70%) had a successful result; 2 patients had residual exotropia of >10Δ, 2 had vertical overcorrection (range, 3Δ-4Δ), and 6 had residual vertical deviation ≥4Δ (range, 5Δ-20Δ). None had secondary esotropia >10Δ. Horizontal deviation was corrected successfully with no consecutive esotropia in 25 patients. CONCLUSIONS: In our study cohort, patients with superior oblique palsy and exotropia in whom fusion required both horizontal and vertical prism correction had a high likelihood of successful horizontal alignment after lateral rectus weakening in combination with inferior oblique surgery.

INTRODUCTION: Orbital blowout fractures are commonly reconstructed with implants shaped to repair orbital cavity defects, restore ocular position and projection, and correct diplopia. Orbital implant shaping has traditionally been performed manually by surgeons, with more recent use of computer-assisted design (CAD). Accuracy of implant placement is also key to reconstruction. This study compares the placement accuracy of orbital implants, testing the hypothesis that CAD-shaped implants indexed to patient anatomy will better restore orbit geometry compared with manually shaped implants and manually placed implants. METHODS: The placement accuracy of orbital implants was assessed within a cadaveric blowout fracture model (3 skulls, 6 orbits) via 3-dimensional CT analysis. Defects were repaired with 4 different techniques: manually placed-manually shaped composite (titanium-reinforced porous polyethylene), manually placed CAD composite, indexed placed CAD composite, and indexed placed CAD titanium mesh. RESULTS: Implant placement accuracy differed significantly with the implant preparation method ( P =0.01). Indexing significantly improved the placement accuracy ( P =0.002). Indexed placed titanium mesh CAD implants (1.42±0.33 mm) were positioned significantly closer to the intact surface versus manually placed-manually shaped composite implants (2.12±0.39 mm). DISCUSSION: Computer-assisted design implants indexed to patient geometry yielded average errors below the acceptable threshold (2 mm) for enophthalmos and diplopia. This study highlights the importance of adequately indexing CAD-designed implants to patient geometry to ensure accurate orbital reconstructions.

PURPOSE: To describe the outcome of the patients diagnosed of sagging/heavy eye associated to myopia, that were operated on with the supra-equatorial displacement with LR myopexy. METHODS: A retrospective study of 9 cases between 2017-2023. The following data were analyzed: horizontal and vertical deviation, diplopia, amblyopia, ductions, ocular torsion, sensorial test, macular pathology, and the orbital magnetic resonance. Treatment was considered Successful if the diplopia was improved or eliminated and a final vertical deviation (VD) ≤5 prism diopters (PD). RESULTS: The mean age (SD) was: 62.11 (4.6) years (100% women). A total of 88.88% presented diplopia. The mean preoperative hypotropia was: 11.33 PD (SD 3.16), and the mean final VD 3.44 PD (SD 3.05). After surgery, the hypotropia was overcorrected in one case, under corrected in 5, and orthophoria was achieved in another three. The technique was associated with surgery of another rectus muscle in 4 subjects. The mean follow-up time after surgery was 34 months (SD 34.62). Six of the 9 patients improved with a vertical deviation ≤5 PD. In 3 patients, the diplopia was eliminated, while in 5 it remained intermittent (three with macular pathology). CONCLUSION: Supra-equatorial displacement with LR myopexy for treatment of myopic sagging/heavy eye, is a therapeutic option if hypotropia is less than 12 PD or the Yokoyama technique is not indicated. A good result was obtained in most cases, although diplopia could only be totally suppressed in three, and another five remained intermittent.

Propósito Estudiar los resultados del mini plegamiento central del recto medial (RM) en las insuficiencias de convergencia de adultos con diplopía. Método Análisis retrospectivo de una muestra de 9 casos (7 mujeres). Se recogieron los datos de la dosis de plegamiento del RM, la hipercorrección inmediata posquirúrgica y al final del seguimiento, la desviación final de cerca y de lejos, la diplopía y el tiempo de seguimiento desde la cirugía. Se consideró buen resultado la desaparición de la diplopía, mejoría de los síntomas y una exotropía final de cerca ≤8dioptrías prismáticas (dp). Resultados Se realizó un mini-plegamiento central del RM en 9 pacientes (8 unilaterales). Edad media: 58,66 años (SD: 21,39). La media de la desviación preoperatoria de cerca fue de 16,22 (±2,99) dp y de lejos 6,88 (±4) dp. Se registró hipercorrección en visión lejana en 5 casos que se resolvió a los 3 meses después de la operación. No hubo hipercorrección en visión de cerca excepto en un caso. Ninguno de los casos operados presentó hipercorrección al final del seguimiento. La desviación horizontal final fue ≤8dp en visión cercana, excepto en 3 casos (media: 6,22). Los síntomas y la diplopía se resolvieron en 8 casos. El seguimiento medio fue de 10,33 meses. Conclusión El mini-plegamiento central de 1 o 2 músculos rectos mediales puede mejorar los síntomas y signos de exotropía asociados a la insuficiencia de convergencia cuando los ejercicios y los prismas son rechazados por los pacientes o cuando estos abordajes no han resuelto el problema (AU)
Objective To study the outcomes of treatment with central mini-plication of the medial rectus (MR) muscles in adult convergence insufficiency with diplopia. Methods The study sample comprised 9 cases (7 women). The length of MR plication was collected. Other variables reported were postsurgical deviation, overcorrections in the early postoperative period and at the end of follow-up, final horizontal deviation at near and at distance vision, diplopia, and mean follow-up from surgery. Surgical outcome was considered to be favorable when diplopia and symptoms were resolved and final exotropia at near was ≤8 pd at the end of follow-up. Results A central mini-plication of the MR was performed in 9 patients (8 unilateral). Mean (± SD) age was 58.66 (21.39) years. Mean near preoperative deviation: 16.22 (± 2.9) pd and distance preoperative deviation: 6.88 (± 4) pd Overcorrection at distance vision was recorded in 5 cases; this resolved by 3 months postoperatively. There was not overcorrection at near vision except one case. None of the cases operated on had overcorrection at the end of follow-up The final horizontal deviation was ≤8 pd at near vision, except for 3 cases (mean: 6.22). Symptoms and diplopia resolved in 8 cases. The mean follow-up was 10.33 months. Conclusion Central mini-plication of 1 or 2 medial rectus muscles can improve the symptoms and signs of exotropia associated with convergence insufficiency when exercises and the prisms are rejected by the patients and when these approaches have not solved the problem (AU)

PURPOSE: The study evaluates the frequency of complications after transnasal endoscopic orbital decompression (TEOD). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 40 patients (75 orbits) with thyroid eye disease (TED; also termed Graves' ophthalmopathy, GO; thyroid-associated orbitopathy, TAO), who were divided into three groups depending on the method of surgical treatment. The first group consisted of 12 patients (21 orbits) who were treated with TEOD as the only method of surgical treatment. In the second group, there were 9 patients (18 orbits) who underwent TEOD and lateral orbital decompression (LOD) simultaneously. The third group consisted of 19 patients (36 orbits) who underwent TEOD as the second stage after LOD. Pre- and postoperative observation included assessment of visual acuity, visual field, exophthalmos, heterotropia/heterophoria angle. RESULTS: In group I the new-onset strabismus with binocular double vision was detected in 1 patient (8.3%). In 5 patients (41.7%), there was an increase in the angle of deviation and an increase in diplopia. In group II the new-onset strabismus with diplopia occurred in 2 patients (22.2%). In 8 patients (88.9%), an increase in the angle of deviation and an increase in diplopia were revealed. In group III the new-onset strabismus and diplopia occurred in 4 patients (21.0%). An increase in the deviation angle and an increase in diplopia were noted in 8 patients (42.1%). The number of postoperative otorhinolaryngologic complications in group I was 4 (19.0% of the number of orbits). Two intraoperative complications were recorded in group II - 1 case of cerebrospinal rhinorrhea (5.5% of the number of orbits) and 1 case of retrobulbar hematoma without permanent vision loss (5.5% of the number of orbits). The number of postoperative complications was 3 (16.7% of the number of orbits). In group III the number of postoperative complications was 3 (8.3% of the number of orbits). CONCLUSION: The study showed that the most common ophthalmological complication after TEOD is strabismus with binocular double vision. Otorhinolaryngologic complications included synechiae of the nasal cavity, sinusitis and mucocele of the paranasal sinuses.

BACKGROUND: To investigate the dynamic changes and influencing factors of visual symptoms after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). METHODS: This was a prospective observational study. Visual symptoms including glare, haloes, starbursts, hazy vision, fluctuation, blurred vision, double vision and focusing difficulties were evaluated before and 1, 3, 6 months after SMILE using a questionnaire. Generalized linear mixed models were used to assess the effects of preoperative characteristics and objective visual quality parameters on postoperative visual symptoms. RESULTS: 73 patients/146 eyes were enrolled. Preoperatively, the most common symptoms were glare (55% of eyes), haloes (48%), starbursts (44%) and blurred vision (37%). At 1 month postoperatively, the incidence and extent scores of glare, haloes, hazy vision and fluctuation rose significantly. At 3 months, the incidence and extent scores of glare, haloes and hazy vision restored to baseline. And at 6 months, the extent scores of fluctuation returned to baseline. Other symptoms (e.g., starbursts) did not change before and 1, 3, 6 months after SMILE. Preoperative visual symptoms were associated with postoperative symptoms, as patients with a symptom preoperatively had higher postoperative scores for that symptom. Age was related to postoperative extent of double vision (coefficient = 0.12, P = 0.046). There were no significant associations between postoperative visual symptoms and preoperative SE, scotopic pupil size, angle kappa (with intraoperative adjustment), postoperative HOAs or scattering indexes. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence and extent scores of hazy vision, glare, haloes and fluctuation increased at the first month after SMILE, and recovered to baseline at 3 or 6 months. Preoperative visual symptoms were associated with the postoperative symptoms and should be fully considered before SMILE.

PURPOSE: To analyze epidemiology, clinical features, and surgical outcomes of type III acute acquired concomitant esotropia (Bielschowsky esotropia (BE)). METHODS: The medical charts of patients diagnosed with acquired concomitant esotropia between 2013 and 2021 were reviewed. Assessed data were age, gender, age at diplopia onset, age at the diagnosis, refraction, visual acuity, neuroimaging, diplopia onset, angle of deviation, stereopsis, surgical procedure, amount of surgery, and relapse of diplopia after surgery. Moreover, we investigated the correlation between the use of electronic devices and the onset of diplopia. RESULTS: One hundred seventeen patients (mean age 35.07 ± 15.81 years) were included in the study. The mean delay to the diagnosis was 3.29 ± 3.62 years. Myopia range was 0 to 17 diopters spherical equivalent. 66,3% spent more than 4 hours a day using laptops, tablets, or smartphones at the onset of diplopia, and 90,6% presented a subacute onset. None showed neurologic signs or symptoms. Patients who underwent surgery were ninety-three, with a rate of surgical success of 93.6%, and a relapse rate of 17.2%. A negative correlation resulted between pre-operative deviation and age at diagnosis (ρ = -0.261; p<0.05), whereas factors associated with surgical failure were older age at diplopia onset (p = 0.042) and longer delay between onset and diagnosis (p = 0.002). CONCLUSION: We registered an outstanding increase in prevalence of BE, which could be related to the exponential increase in the use of electronic devices for professional, educational, and recreational purposes. A prompt diagnosis and an augmented dose of surgery allows good motor and sensory results.

PURPOSE: To quantify the effectiveness of superior oblique tuck (SOT) surgery in patients with a hyperdeviation secondary to superior oblique paresis (SOP). Surgical outcomes were compared in patients undergoing SOT surgery as a primary procedure with those who had previously undergone ipsilateral inferior oblique weakening surgery. METHODS: This retrospective study assessed surgical outcomes from all patients undergoing SOT surgery for SOP between 2012 and 2021 across 2 hospitals. The effectiveness of SOT surgery in reducing the hyperdeviation was assessed in the primary position (PP) and in contralateral elevation and depression. Results were compared between those undergoing primary SOT surgery with those who had previously undergone ipsilateral inferior oblique weakening surgery. RESULTS: A total of 60 SOT procedures were performed between 2012 and 2021. 7 were removed due to incomplete data. The remaining 53 cases experienced a mean reduction in hyperdeviation of 6.5 prism dioptres (PD), 6.7PD and 12.0PD in the PP, contralateral elevation and contralateral depression respectively. In eyes with previous IO weakening, the reduction of hyperdeviation was larger than in those eyes with no previous IO weakening surgery, with mean reductions of 8.0PD vs 5.2PD, 7.4PD vs 6.2PD and 12.4PD vs 11.6PD in the PP, contralateral elevation and contralateral depression respectively. CONCLUSION: SOT surgery is a safe and effective procedure with high patient satisfaction and resolution of symptoms in those patients with troublesome diplopia in downgaze secondary to SOP. This is true in both unoperated eyes and in those who have previously undergone inferior oblique weakening surgery.

BACKGROUND: Malplaced implants in orbital reconstruction may lead to serious complications and necessitate re-intervention. The aim of this study was to describe outcomes, complications and scenarios of re-intervention in a historical case series of orbital fractures treated with free-hand orbital wall reconstruction. The main hypothesis was that early re-interventions are mainly because of malplaced implants in the posterior orbit. METHODS: Retrospective review of 90 patients with facial fractures involving the orbit, reconstructed with radiopaque orbital wall implants, from 2011 to 2016. Data were obtained from medical records and computed tomography images. Recorded parameters were fracture type, ocular injury, ocular motility, diplopia, eye position, complications and re-interventions. Secondary reconstructions because of enophthalmos were volumetrically evaluated. RESULTS: Early complications requiring re-intervention within 1 month were seen in 12 (13%) patients, where all except two were because of malplaced implants. The implant incongruence was without exception found in the posterior orbit. Late complications consisted of four (4%) cases of ectropion and five (5%) cases of entropion that needed corrective surgery. The majority of the patients with eye-lid complications had undergone repeated surgeries. Secondary orbital surgeries were performed in nine (10%) patients. Five of these patients had secondary reconstruction for enophthalmos and associated diplopia. None of these patients became completely free from either enophthalmos or diplopia after the secondary surgery. CONCLUSION: Re-intervention after orbital reconstruction is mainly related to malplaced implants in the posterior orbit. Incomplete results in patients requiring secondary surgery for enophthalmos infer the importance of accurate restoration of the orbit at primary surgery.
