OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of prescribed part-time patching for treatment of intermittent exotropia (IXT) in children.

DESIGN: Multicenter, randomized clinical trial.

PARTICIPANTS: Three hundred fifty-eight children 3 to <11 years of age with previously untreated (except for refractive correction) IXT and near stereoacuity of 400 seconds of arc or better were enrolled. Intermittent exotropia met the following criteria: (1) IXT at distance OR constant exotropia at distance ...

OBJECTIVE: To assess associations between health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and the decision to perform strabismus surgery for children with intermittent exotropia.

DESIGN: Retrospective chart review.

PARTICIPANTS: Children with intermittent exotropia.

METHODS: Included subjects, identified in a clinical practice, had assessment of HRQOL using the intermittent exotropia questionnaire (IXTQ), comprising child, proxy, and parent components (parent domains: function, psychosocial, and ...

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether distance stereoacuity improves following surgery for intermittent exotropia using the Frisby Davis Distance (FD2) and Distance Randot stereotests.

METHODS: Eighteen patients (median age, 24 years; range, 5 to 68 years) with intermittent exotropia were prospectively enrolled. Stereoacuity was measured pre- and 6 weeks postoperatively using the FD2 and Frisby near tests (real depth tests) and Preschool Randot and Distance Randot tests (polaroid ...

OBJECTIVE: To describe the incidence and types of childhood esotropia in a defined population.

DESIGN: Retrospective population-based cohort.

PARTICIPANTS: All pediatric (<19 years of age) residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, diagnosed with an esodeviation (> or =10 prism diopters) from January 1, 1985, through December 31, 1994.

METHODS: The medical records of all potential patients identified by the resources of the Rochester Epidemiology Project were reviewed.

MAIN OUTCOME ...

PURPOSE: Poor control of intermittent exotropia has been considered an indication for surgical intervention, and poor distance stereoacuity may be an indicator of poor control. Two new measures of distance stereoacuity, the Frisby-Davis Distance test (FD2) and Distance Randot test (DR), both of which have been validated in normal and strabismic subjects, were evaluated, and we compared stereoacuity with scores on a recently described control scale.

DESIGN: Prospective case ...

PURPOSE: Distance stereoacuity is used to monitor deterioration of intermittent exotropia (IXT), but variability of stereoacuity has not been studied rigorously. The purpose of this study was to assess the variability of stereoacuity over one day in children with IXT.

DESIGN: Prospective cohort study.

METHODS: Twelve children with IXT were recruited. Stereoacuity was assessed using the Frisby Davis Distance test and the Distance Randot test at distance, and the Frisby and Preschool ...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence and types of childhood exotropia in a defined population.

DESIGN: Retrospective, population-based cohort.

PARTICIPANTS: All pediatric (<19 years old) residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota diagnosed with an exodeviation (>or=10 prism diopters) from January 1, 1985 through December 31, 1994.

METHODS: The medical records of all potential patients identified by the resources of the Rochester Epidemiology Project were reviewed.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the birth prevalence of and risk factors associated with congenital esotropia.

DESIGN: Population-based prevalence study with nested case-control study.

PARTICIPANTS: All residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota who were diagnosed with congenital esotropia and born between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 1989 (n = 47). Control subjects were chosen by selecting the next two sequential births to parents residing in Olmsted County, Minnesota (n = 94).

METHODS: Cases ...

PURPOSE: To describe the long-term surgical outcomes in a population-based cohort of children with intermittent exotropia.

METHODS: The medical records of all children (<19 years) who were diagnosed with intermittent exotropia as residents of Olmsted County Minnesota, from January 1, 1975, through December 31, 1994, and managed with surgery were retrospectively reviewed.

RESULTS: Of 184 patients with intermittent exotropia, 61 (33%) underwent surgery at a mean age of 7.6 years (range, ...

PURPOSE: To develop and validate a new parental questionnaire addressing symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in childhood nasolacrimal duct obstruction (NLDO).

DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.

PARTICIPANTS: Children ages 6 to younger than 48 months with and without clinical signs of NLDO.

METHODS: A new questionnaire was developed using semistructured interviews with parents of children with NLDO and through discussions with expert clinicians. Questionnaires were completed ...

OBJECTIVE: We investigated the prevalence and types of psychiatric disorders diagnosed by early adulthood among patients who had common forms of strabismus as children.

METHODS: The medical records of children (<19 years) who were diagnosed as having esotropia (N = 266) or exotropia (N = 141) while residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, between January 1, 1985, and December 31, 1994, were reviewed retrospectively for psychiatric disease diagnoses. Each case subject was compared with a ...

PURPOSE: To report refractive and surgical outcomes in a cohort of children with accommodative esotropia.

DESIGN: Retrospective population-based cohort.

PARTICIPANTS: All pediatric patients (<19 years) diagnosed with accommodative esotropia in Olmsted County, Minnesota, from January 1, 1975, to December 31, 1994.

METHODS: Medical records identified by the Rochester Epidemiology Project were reviewed for spectacle and surgical management.

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Rate of surgical ...

PURPOSE: The principal objectives of this study were to estimate the incidence of second tumors among children treated for heritable retinoblastoma during a 50-year period and to investigate the relationship between these tumors and previous radiation therapy.

METHODS: The records of all retinoblastoma patients examined at the Mayo Clinic from 1941 through 1990 were retrospectively reviewed. The therapeutic modality used to manage the tumor, the occurrence of any second malignancy, and ...

OBJECTIVE: To describe the incidence and types of adult-onset strabismus in a geographically defined population.

DESIGN: Retrospectively reviewed population-based cohort.

PARTICIPANTS: All adult (≥19 years of age) residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, diagnosed with new-onset adult strabismus from January 1, 1985, through December 31, 2004.

METHODS: The medical records of all potential cases identified by the resources of the Rochester Epidemiology Project were reviewed.

MAIN OUTCOME ...

OBJECTIVE: To describe the incidence and clinical characteristics of childhood glaucoma in a defined population of the United States.

METHODS: The medical records of all pediatric patients younger than 20 years living in Olmstead County, Minnesota, from January 1, 1965, through December 31, 2004, who met diagnostic criteria for glaucoma or glaucoma suspect were reviewed.

RESULTS: Thirty children were diagnosed as having glaucoma during the 40-year study period. The incidence of childhood ...
