Orthoptics

Disease relevance of Orthoptics

METHODS: Seventy-seven subjects between 2 and 18 years of age received gold-standard orthoptic examinations and were classified as at risk for amblyopia if strabismus or anisometropia (>1.50 diopters) was present [1].
The objective of this study was to assess the etiology of lateral rectus palsies in patients undergoing lumbar myelograms with Iopamidol (Isovue; ER Squibb and Sons, Princeton, NJ, USA; Niopam, E Merc, UK.). An audit of the departmental orthoptic record revealed two patients who had suffered abducens palsies after myelograms [2].

High impact information on Orthoptics

The screening also included an orthoptic examination for detection of strabismus [3].
Fourteen hearts from patients with cardiomyopathy who had 13N-ammonia scans prior to orthoptic heart transplantation were studied [4].
Interpretation of cyclosporin A levels in pregnancy following orthoptic liver transplantation [5].
METHODS: Children with high myopia were identified from community optometric and orthoptic sources and invited for an ophthalmology and optometry examination to ascertain possible ocular or systemic disease [6].
AIM: To determine whether changes in orthoptic status take place during withdrawal from heroin and/or methadone [7].

Biological context of Orthoptics

Change in serum properdin factor B phenotype following human orthoptic liver transplantation [8].
Vision function recovery during orthoptic therapy in an exotropic amblyope with high unilateral myopia [9].
