“…[1][2][3] Exotropia is reported to occur at more than twice the rate of that of esotropia, particularly in Korea. 4,5 As surgery results in better treatment outcomes than non-surgical treatments, such as orthoptics or occlusion therapy, it is performed in most cases in which surgery is indicated.…”

Purpose To evaluate the prognostic factors, particularly age at the time of surgery, for recurrence after unilateral medial rectus resection and lateral rectus recession (R&R) procedures in patients with intermittent exotropia, or X(T). Methods Medical records of 489 subjects who received unilateral R&R procedures with more than 12 months of follow-up were reviewed. The patients' surgical outcomes with a deviation of less than 10 prism diopters (PD) of exotropia and less than 5 PD of esotropia were defined as a success. Outcomes with more than 11 PD of exotropia were designated as recurrences, and those with esotropia of more than 5 PD after 3 months of operation were noted as overcorrection. The prognostic factors for recurrence were analyzed by the multivariate logistic regression test. Results Of the 489 subjects, 209 had successful surgical outcomes and 280 had recurrences, whereas overcorrection was not found. Mean age at operation was 8.9 ± 6.5 years, mean preoperative distant X(T) size was 32.9 ± 6.0 PD, and mean follow-up period was 27.5 ± 17.9 months. On the basis of the survival analysis in which survival represented time of recurrence, the mean duration was 31.2±1.7months. Age at onset, age at surgery, and immediate postoperative alignment proved to be significant factors influencing a favorable outcome by multivariate logistic regression analysis (Po0.05). However, gender, family history, and preoperative deviation size were not significantly predictive of success (P40.05). ConclusionIn unilateral R&R procedures, increasing patient age at the time of surgery was associated with lower recurrence rates. Recurrence rates also increased with the immediate postoperative angle and with the postoperative angle of deviation at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months.

“…Entre os escolares com baixa acuidade visual, Preslan e Novak (12) encontraram a seguinte proporção estimada de problemas visuais: ambliopia, 3,9%; estrabismo, 3,1% e erros de refração, 8,2%. Dados da Campanha Veja Bem Brasil (1) relatam que em cada 1000 escolares do ensino fundamental, 100 são portadores de erros de refração (hipermetropia, principalmente; astigmatismo e miopia), necessitando de correção.…”

Objetivos: Estudar a importância dos programas de promoção de saúde ocular na avaliação da acuidade visual para detecção precoce de distúrbios oftalmológicos, em programas de promoção da saúde ocular. Métodos: Estudo descritivo de delineamento transversal. Foram avaliados escolares primários, pertencentes a 21 escolas municipais de Pelotas, RS, por meio de questionário com as variáveis: sexo e idade, percepção da própria visão, uso de óculos ou lentes de contato e medida da acuidade visual (AV) pela escala de Snellen. Os alunos com AV ≤ 0,7 ou algum sintoma de problema visual foram encaminhados a serviços médicos especializados para a realização de exame oftalmológico. Resultados: Na amostra de 1502 escolares, 774 (51,5%) eram do sexo masculino e 1328 (88,41%), de idades entre 6 e 8 anos. Aproximadamente 90% das crianças consideraram ter boa visão. Ao exame, 227 alunos (15,1%) apresentaram baixa acuidade visual; desses, 124 (54,6%) eram meninas. Daqueles que acreditavam não apresentar problemas visuais, 193 (14,23%) foram encaminhados ao exame oftalmoló-gico. Conclusões: A pesquisa realizada durante o Programa de Avaliação Oftalmológica de Escolares apontou dados importantes, acentuando o valor das campanhas para a detecção e prevenção de problemas visuais, cujo objetivo principal é proporcionar à criança condições de atingir o melhor desenvolvimento de seu potencial.

“…However, the results showed that fewer than 33% of children had followed through on the recommendations (wearing spectacles) and fewer than 20% passed the follow-up screening test. [97] Summary Given the limited number of studies reporting on each condition, care needs to be taken in evaluating the results. However, in summary, the literature suggested that treatment at one to six weeks of age for cataract was better than treatment at two to eight months, and that any effects of refractive correction on emmetropisation may have disappeared by the age of 36 months.…”

Objective: To evaluate screening and diagnostic outcomes of the New South Wales Statewide Eyesight Preschooler Screening (StEPS) program, a state‐funded, universal vision screening program for 4‐year‐old children. Design, setting and participants: A cross‐sectional evaluation of the StEPS program, in which eligible 4‐year‐old children were offered a vision screen in local health districts in NSW, between 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2011. Main outcome measures: Number and proportion of eligible children who were offered screening; accepted screening; were screened and scored a pass or were referred (routinely or urgently) for further vision assessment; and were referred for further assessment and required intervention. Results: Of 91 324 eligible 4‐year‐olds in NSW, 80 328 (88.0%) were offered screening, and 65 834 (72.1% of the eligible population) were screened. Of the children who were screened, 3867 (5.9%) scored less than 6/9‐2 but better than 6/18 in one or both eyes and were referred to their general practitioner or eye health professional for further vision assessment. A further 1425 children (2.2%) scored 6/18 or less in one or both eyes and were referred for high‐priority assessment. In the two local health districts with the most complete follow‐up data, 704 of 779 children (90.4%) with routine referrals and 278 of 285 (97.5%) with high‐priority referrals required treatment or review at a later date. Conclusions: The StEPS program has achieved a high screening participation rate in NSW. Many children have been diagnosed and received treatment for previously undetected serious vision disorders that may otherwise have been diagnosed too late for effective intervention.
