Binocular visual function in XXXX after bilateral medial rectus recession with loop suture.

PURPOSE: Our aim was to evaluate the binocular visual function in @entity5971 after bimedial rectus recession with loop suture and to address the factors that could take part in the attainment of binocular function. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Forty @entity1 with @entity5971 who were operated on between 12 and 48 months of age were included in the study group. Postoperative follow-up ranged from 2 to 10 years. In order to determine the factors affecting the sensory results in @entity5971 , we classified our @entity1 into two groups according to their fusion status. We compared the preoperative and postoperative characteristics of @entity1 in these two groups. RESULTS: Twenty-one of 40 @entity1 (52.5%) fused the Worth four-dot at near (Group 1), 19 @entity1 (47.5%) did not (Group 2) at the final examination. No @entity1 showed evidence of stereopsis. We found significant differences between these two groups in respect to the final angle of @entity5494 , the age at surgery, the presence of postoperative @entity2182 , dissociated @entity5494 and abnormal head position. Correlation analysis revealed that early alignment of the eyes and the absence of postoperative @entity5494 were associated with increased incidence of achieving some degree of binocular vision. CONCLUSION: In @entity5971 , not all @entity1 may have the potential for normal binocular function owing to yet unknown constitutional factors. We determined that achieving some degree of binocular function may be related to early alignment of the eyes. Additionally, close follow-up and precise treatment of the accompanying @entity5494 , especially @entity2182 and dissociated @entity5494 , in a timely manner may enhance the attainment of binocular sensory function.
