“…After overthrowing the Qin dynasty together, he was named Hegemon of the loose series of kingdoms he created in its wake, while he gave Liu Bang the remote province of Han. The civil war that followed called the Chu-Han contention [7], ending with a Han victory and a legendary last stand by the Hegemon. Polycoria is a congenital malformation of the iris, which is detected in the first year of a child's life.…”

The presence of multiple iris holes is most commonly called pseudopolycoria, because only the central pupil has a sphincter muscle and can constrict. Iris holes without muscle tissue arise as congenital defects or develop from ocular trauma, inflammation, or degeneration and are thus not considered to be true accessory pupils. Multiple pupils, also known as true polycoria, are distinguished by the presence of a sphincter muscle around each iris hole, permitting synchronous constriction and dilation of the 2 pupils. One presumed mechanism for polycoria is a snaring or pinching off from the margin of another pupil. This patient had a small, oval-shaped accessory pupil, which may have separated from the temporal margin of the central pupil, leaving a thin bridge of no sphincter connecting tissue. The outlook for polycoria is generally good. You may not require any treatment if your visual impairment is minimal and doesn’t interfere with your daily life. However, if treatment is needed, pupilloplasty has so far shown positive results. If you have polycoria, it’s important to have regular check-ups with an eye doctor to monitor your vision and any changes your eyes may have. Having your eye checked regularly is also beneficial for your eyesight as a whole.

Purpose To determine the awareness and perception of strabismus among the youths and women of child-bearing age in Ikenne Local Government Area (LGA) of Ogun State, South Western Nigeria. Methodology Fifteen focus group discussions (FGDs) were carried out in the LGA on the perceptions and attitudes of people to strabismus. Their responses were tape-recorded and later transcribed. A thematic phenomenological approach was used for the analysis. Result A total of 139 people participated in the FGDs, with a male:female ratio of 1:∼4. Although there was a fairly high level of awareness of strabismus in the populace, their knowledge and perception of the disease were poor. Attitudes toward the disease were based on unfounded fears and misconceptions of the disease. Conclusions We conclude that the perception and acceptance of people with strabismus by the people of Ikenne LGA was based on their poor knowledge of the disease. This in turn interfered with the uptake of health-care services for the condition.
