We have assembled an exciting scientific programme of Symposia, a Round Table, Early Course and our usual Difficult Cases session. We have also had a record number of submissions for free papers and posters, which are getting particular attention. We look forward to some interesting discussions. But Budapest is also a beautiful city with its two parts, Buda and Pest, which sit on either side of the River Danube and were united in 1873. It is steeped in history from Celtic times onwards and has an impressive medieval castle across the river on the Buda side, which is well worth a visit. There are also many beautiful streets and buildings from the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. There are also interesting buildings from the more recent past, including an underground hospital. And don’t miss our Gala Dinner, which will be a cruise along the Danube, with wonderful views of the City on both banks. Have an enjoyable congress. John Sloper President, European Strabismological Association 4 WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE LOCAL ORGANIZER OF THE 38th ESA MEETING Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee, it is a great pleasure to invite you to take part in the 38th Congress of the European Strabismological Association to be held in Budapest, Hungary, from the 28th September to the 1st October 2016. We experienced, how extraordinary interesting and successful was the 2015’s meeting in Venice, Italy for ophthalmologists, optometrists and residents from Europe and all over the world! Conferences are becoming more and more informative, even sometimes to the extreme. While giving overview on all important and new aspects of strabismus, ESA provides a platform where there is time for discussion. Experts discuss their experiences and that way, dissemination of knowledge is easier. The better, easier and more effective treatments can be spread all over the world. The congress venue this year is Best Western Hotel Hungaria, situated in the heart of Budapest’s city. As a conference center, it provides an auditorium equipped with technical facilities of the highest standard. An experienced professional staff (Tensi Congress) will help participants with all details. Your particular work is welcome, it will enrich the world of strabismus science so do not hesitate to present it to colleagues all over the world. Moreover, it gives you the possibility to international evaluation of the results. We hope that this year’s meeting will be a fruitful one for all participants. We cordially invite you to the beautiful city of Budapest and hope to make the 38th ESA Congress a memorable experience for you!

Methods: Retrospective review of the medical files of all 10 years old or under patients referred to the pediatric ophthalmology consult for the first time between July 2011 and February 2013. Results: In a total of 1205 patients, 298 (24,7%) were referred due to suspected reduction of visual acuity (RVA), which was confirmed in only 167 (13,9%) patients. 226 patients referred for other reasons also had RVA. A total of 393 children had RVA, of which 90 (22,9%) had associated amblyopia: 56,7% due to purely refractive amblyopia, 17,8% due to purely strabismic amblyopia, 22,2% due to both refractive and strabismic amblyopia and 3,3% due to visual deprivation amblyopia. The mean age at diagnosis of amblyopia was at 5,3 years old. Of all the patients reviewed, 12,9% were found to have potentially amblyogenic refractive errors. Conclusions: The fact that most of the patients with RVA were not referred due to suspected RVA and the late age of diagnosis of amblyopia strongly support the implementation of a photorefractive screening program. Purpose: Amblyopia is the most common cause of monocular vision loss in children, and treatment outcomes tend to be better with earlier detection and earlier treatment. However, finding a cost-effective method and the optimum screening intervals to appropriately screen amblyopia is still a matter of debate and study. We present the design and implementation of an amblyopia risk factors screening project in a large based Portuguese population. Methods: Two referral centers will be enrolled, they will assess all children aged 2 under their direct referral area. At this age, the cut-off defined for referral were: more than 1 Diopter (D) of anisometropia, more than 1.5D of astigmatism, more than 2D of myopia and more than 1.5D of hyperopia. All asymmetric eye alignment results are referred too. The results are reported to a reading platform that will allow the ophthalmologist to see all exams, and provide timely appointment with a complete ophthalmologic assessment for those who need. This is a pilot project conducted by the Ministry of Health together with the Portuguese Society of Ophthalmology and the results will be audited to become a screening procedure for the general population. Results: Approximately 5,249 children will be screened. We estimate to have a referral rate of 6%. The results will be evaluated and compared with the conventional ophthalmologic screening to assess its sensitivity, specificity and cost-effectiveness. Conclusion: This screening program may be highly relevant to eradicate untreated amblyopia from our population. The results may lead to the implementation of this project to the whole country. 27 ABSTRACTS: FREE PAPERS 03 04 AMBLYOPIA WITH ECCENTRIC FIXATION: IS INVERSE OCCLUSION STILL AN OPTION? Godts, Daisy Antwerp University Hospital Ophthalmology, BELGIUM INTRACTABLE DIPLOPIA IN ADULTS WITH STRABISMUS AND HISTORY OF ANTISUPPRESSION THERAPY Loba, Piotr; Simiera, Justyna; Broniarczyk-Loba, Anna Departament of Ophthalmology Medical University of Lodz, POLAND Purpose: To present our treatment protocol for patients with strabismus or mixed amblyopia with eccentric fixation. Material and methods: Eleven consecutive patients, aged 3.5 to 5 with strabismus (3) or mixed (8) amblyopia and eccentric fixation were included in this study. All patients underwent occlusion therapy of the dominant eye for at least 6 months with minor improvement of visual acuity (VA) despite good compliance (VA ranged from 20/800 to 20/63). Seven patients had total inverse occlusion of the amblyopic eye for 4 weeks and 4 patients for 8 weeks before the eccentric point lost fixation and fixation became wandering. No binocular viewing was allowed. The dominant eye was then occluded day and night and a red filter was placed before the amblyopic eye to stimulate foveal fixation. In 9 patients the fixation became central and occlusion of the dominant eye was continued without red filter. All children continued full time occlusion until no further improvement of VA was noticed after 2 consecutive visits despite good compliance. Results: In 9 children the VA improved to at least 20/32 in the amblyopic eye, the VA of the dominant eye did not change. Conclusion: Inverse occlusion is still a valuable option if conventional occlusion proves to be insufficient to improve VA in amblyopic eyes with eccentric fixation. Full time inverse occlusion should be done until the eccentric point looses fixation. This should be followed with full time occlusion of the dominant eye. Placing a red filter before the amblyopic eye may also be helpful the stimulate foveal fixation. Intractable diplopia is usually encountered following surgery for long-standing or consecutive strabismus. Nevertheless it might also be elicited by antisupression therapy. In Poland intensive pleoptic excercises were very popular in the past, therefore intractable diplopia is presently a relatively common finding. Purpose: The aim of this study is to try to establish predisposing factors for intractable diplopia based on a retrospective case analysis. Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients referred to the Strabismus Outpatient Clinic in the period of 4 years. Inclusion criteria were as follows: age 12 years and above , constant diplopia that could not be attributed to any kind of acquired strabismus and could not be improved with prisms, history of antisupression therapy, strabismus since childhood. Medical charts of all patients were reviewed. Results: 12 cases of intractable diplopia were identified (7 male, mean age 34 years). Six cases were esotropic and 6 exotropic all of the latter consecutive. Moderate to deep amblyopia was present in 9 cases. Eight patients had hyperopic anisometropia which wasn’t fully corrected in childhood and history of monofixation syndrome. Four patients had multiple strabismus surgeries, 5 single procedure and 3 had none. Diplopia perception ranged from shadowy image in the periphery to doubling of the contours of the fixation target. In 5 cases the second image was so bothersome that they sought treatment. Conclusions: Factors that appear to be associated with intractable diplopia that results from intensive antisupression therapy are: uncorrected anisometropia, monofixation syndrome, no fusion potential, delayed treatment commencement. 28 THURSDAY, 29TH SEPTEMBER 05 06 EVALUATION OF THE BIPRISM TEST IN EARLY CHILDHOOD Serfozo, Csilla; Soproni, Anna Heim Pal Children’s Hospital, Ophthalmological Private Practice, HUNGARY COST-OPTIMIZED CHILDHOOD VISION AND HEARING SCREENING PROGRAMMES IN ALL COUNTRIES IN EUROPE Simonsz, Huibert J.; Sloot, Frea; EUSCREEN FOUNDATION Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam, NETHERLANDS Purpose: To study the correlation between the biprism test (BPT) and later visual acuity (VA) in a screening setting among children, whose eyes did not seem to be strabismic. Methods: BPT results of 353 children (0- 8 years, average 4.6; 51% male) were retrospectively collected from 2010. The strabism of included patients was not obvious at their first examination. Every patient presented later to a second visit (average age: 33.64 months) when VA was measured (VA under 0.8 was regarded as abnormal). Chi-square test was used to compare the results of the two measurements. Results: In the absence of co-operation BPT could not be taken in 18.44% under 4 years of age (3-27 months, average: 13.05 months, 50% male). 22 right eyes and 29 left eyes of 353 patients were found abnormal with BPT; VA was abnormal in 34 right eyes and 39 left eyes. The result of a later VA acuity could be predicted with previous BPT in a statistically significant (p<0.05) extent (0.0007 right eye, 0.0305 left eye). The negative and positive predictive values of BPT were 84% and 42%, respectively. Conclusion: BPT is a rapid and inexpensive examination easy to perform. BPT correlates well with later VA. BPT is able to relatively precisely identify children with good vision even in very young age. The positive predictive value of the test was lower in this study, which may be partly explained by the smaller size of the group of patients with non-obvious strabism. Herb Simonsz & Frea Sloot for the EUSCREEN Study Group Communicative skills at young age are crucial for health, employment and quality of life in later life. Screening for vision and hearing disorders in children, followed by early treatment, have shown to be highly effective. Early detection and treatment of a lazy eye prevents lifelong visual impairment. Early detection and treatment of hearing impairment prevents delayed speech and language development. EU-directive 16620/11 gives priority to these programmes, since they may impact tens of thousands of children and their parents. Across Europe inequity exists in the provision of childhood vision and hearing screening programmes (VAHSPs). High- Income Countries have VAHSPs, but they vary with regard to age and frequency of testing, tests used, uptake, screening professionals, referral pathway and funding. This makes it difficult for healthcare providers and policy makers in Low- to Middle-Income Countries to decide what VAHSP to implement and how. In this study, cost-optimised, evidence-based VAHSPs will be implemented two European countries, based on collated evidence from existing VAHSPs in Europe. Data on VAHSPs, demography, administration, general screening, screening professions, uptake and treatment availability is currently gathered in an established network of professionals in 41 European countries and will be used in a disease/health system modelling framework to predict benefits and cost in the most optimal health system, taking regional diversity and organisational and resource requirements into account. Model-developed VAHSPs will be tested in the county of Cluj in Romania for vision, and in three counties in Albania for hearing screening. A generic strategy for implementation will be developed by detailed tracking, and from identified requirements, facilitators and barriers. The decision-analytic modelling framework and the strategy for implementation will be packed into a transferable TOOLKIT that will assist healthcare providers and policy makers worldwide in their decisions to introduce or modify VAHSPs, and increase effectiveness, efficiency and equity of child healthcare. 29 ABSTRACTS: FREE PAPERS 07 08 THE CLINICAL COURSE OF INTERMITTENT EXOTROPIA VLADUTIU, CRISTINA; Rusu, Oana; Rusu, Raluca M; Sevan, Simona A SC Rojo Business Group SRL Cluj Hospital, ROMANIA CORRELATION OF DISTANCE STEREOACUITY WITH NEWCASTLE CONTROL SCORES IN INTERMITTANT EXOTROPIA OTO, Sibel; Yüce, Aslıhan; Akca Bayar, Sezin Baskent University Hospital Pediatric Ophthalmology, TURKEY Purpose: To briefly look into the natural history of intermittent exotropia. Methods: One hundred fifty patients with intermittent exotropia were included in the study. In 65 of the cases the strabismus was managed conservatively by overcorrecting minus lens therapy and orthoptics. One hundred four patients underwent surgical treatment. Postoperatively, examinations were performed on the second day, after 2 months, 1 year, 3 years, 6 years and more than 6 years from the surgery. According to the postoperative angle of deviation, patients were divided into 4 groups: orthophoria, residual exotropia over 6 PD and under 6 PD, consecutive esotropia. Results: Forty-six of the patients with a conservative approach showed improved control of exotropia and did not require surgery. The majority of the 104 patients who received surgical treatment achieved immediate postoperative orthotropia or under 6 PD exotropia (38 and 49, respectively). The most substantial alteration in ocular alignment was encountered in the 2 month-postoperative period. Accordingly, the number of patients with orthotropia lowered significantly (p=0.002), while that of those with over 6 PD exotropia increased (p = 0.007). Subsequent checkups (at 1 and 3 years) did not reveal statistically significant variations. Few patients presented for examinations after 6 years, therefore a statistical analysis would be irrelevant. Conclusions: The majority of patients with intermittent exotropia require surgery. Residual deviation is present in most cases postoperatively, but overall there is an improvement in the control of the exotropia. Most alterations in ocular alignment occur in the 2-month postoperative period. 30 Aim: Distance stereoacuity has been reported to be a reliable assessment of control of intermittant exotropia (IXT). In this study distance stereoacuity values were compared with revised Newcastle Home and Clinic control scores in patients with IXT. Methods: Patients(n=22) with IXT, age ≥6 years and without amblyopia were included. Home and office-based control were graded on a 0 to 3 scale. Complete orthoptic examination was performed and distance stereopsis was measured by Distance Randot (DR) test. Results: All patients had a history of deviation <50% of time fixing in distance and very good near stereopsis values. There was poor correlation between parental report of home control and office control (r=0.27 p=0.225). Distance stereoacuity thresholds were not correlated with home (r=-0.386 p=0.076) or office (r=0.255 p=0.252) control scores. Conclusion: There was poor correlation between the DR test and Newcastle control scores consistent with previous studies. This result may be due to homogeneity of our study group. THURSDAY, 29TH SEPTEMBER 09 MYOPIC SHIFT DURING CONTROL OF THE DEVIATION IN INTERMITTENT EXOTROPIA: A STUDY WITH THE PLUSOPTIX 12R PHOTOSCREENER Schiavi, Costantino; Tassi, Filippo; Di Croce, Valentina DIMES, Department of Experimental, Diagnostic and Specialty Medicine, University of Bologna Ophthalmic Unit, St. Orsola-Malpighi Teaching Hospital, ITALY Purpose: To assess refraction changes under binocular viewing conditions during the control of the deviation for near fixation in intermittent exotropia (XT) patients. Methods: 20 (XT) patients aged 4 to 26 years were enrolled in the study. The four patterns of divergent strabismus were present in the study group: divergence excess, basic exodeviation, convergence insufficiency, and simulated divergence excess. All the patient exibited random dot stereopsis. The refraction and pupillary diameter were measured by infrared video retinoscopy and pupillometry with the Plusoptix A12 photoscreener (Nuernberg, Germany) under either monocular and binocular viewing conditions at 1 meter distance. The accommodation convergence to accommodation (AC/A) ratio was measured in all patients with the gradient method. Results: A myopic shift (mean 0.44, SD 0.422) was recorded under binocular viewing conditions during the control of the deviation. No hyperopic shift was detected turning from monocular to binocular viewing conditions in any patient. No change in pupil diameter was recorded passing from monocular to binocular fixation. The mean AC/A ratio resulted 5.61. When considering the sub-groups, it ranged from 8.7 in the divergence excess group, to 5.6 in the basic exodeviation group and 3.4 in the convergence insufficiency group. Conclusions: The myopic shift occurring under binocular viewing conditions during the control of the deviation at near fixation could be explained by the increased vergence demand in (XT) patients. Fusional vergence through convergence accommodation to convergence ratio rather than accommodation through AC/A ratio seems to be the main compensatory mechanism for the deviation in (XT). 31 ABSTRACTS: FREE PAPERS 10 11 INFERIOR OBLIQUE RECESSION IS ENOUGH FOR UNILATERAL LONG-STANDING CONGENITAL SUPERIOR OBLIQUE PALSY? Ciubotaru A, Iosub I, Măcău M, Hopincă A Infosan Eye Clinic, Bucharest, ROMANIA CYCLOCHECK – A NEW WEB-BASED SOFTWARE FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF OBJECTIVE CYCLODEVIATION Simiera, Justyna; Broniarczyk-Loba, Anna; Loba, Piotr Medical University of Lodz Department of Binocular Vision Pathophysiology and Strabismus, POLAND Purpose: to review the results and techniques of surgical treatment of unilateral congenital superior oblique palsy(CSOP) in adults. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 47 adults undergoing surgery for unilateral CSOP in our clinic (2006-2016). The patients were divided in 2 groups: Group 1-34 patients with preoperative vertical deviation (VD) in primary position (PP) less than 30 prism diopters (PD), in which we performed a graded inferior oblique recession (8mm,10mm or maximal) and Group 2 -13 patients with preoperative VD in PP greater than 30 PD, in which we performed a maximal inferior oblique recession combined with recession of contralateral inferior rectus muscle, according to the amount of vertical deviation. Horizontal and vertical deviations in five positions of gaze and head posture were assessed pre- and postoperatively. In 21 patients, we measured cyclodeviation with Harms’tangent screen. Results: In Group 1,VD in PP and in adduction were reduced from median 10 PD and 25 PD to 1PD and 3PD respectively. In Group 2, VD in PP and in adduction were reduced from median 34 PD and 36 PD to 6PD and 8PD respectively. All patients improved their abnormal head posture after reoperation.78% of patients have first heard the diagnosis of CSOP in our clinic, even 92% of them had more than 3 eye examinations during life. Conclusion: Isolated inferior oblique muscle recession is an effective treatment option for CSOP up to 30 PD of vertical deviation in PP. Two-muscle surgery should be reserved for patients with larger vertical deviations. 32 Purpose: Detection and precise measurement of torsional deviation can be clinically essential in the diagnosis and management of certain forms of cyclovertical strabismus. A fundus photography with determination of the disc-foveal angle (DFA) is currently regarded as the gold standard for assessing objective cyclodeviation, however it has not yet been routinely used in strabismological practice due to the lack of objective and repeatable measurement methods. The purpose of this study is to present a new free web-based software (www.cyclocheck.com) designed for the measurement of the DFA and to evaluate its accuracy. Methods: 32 subjects, (18 orthotropic and 14 strabismic) were enrolled in the study. Digital fundus photographs of both eyes with Centervue DRS non-mydriatic fundus camera were performed in all cases. Four separate measurements were made for each eye and the DFA was calculated independently by two observers, to determine reproducibility and repeatability of the technique. The results were statistically analysed using Krippendorff’s Alpha Coefficient (p<0.001). Results: The inter-observer agreement was 0.99 (0.95 for orthotropic and 1.0 for strabismic subjects). Reproducibility between patients with easily or poorly detectable foveal reflex or optic disc outlines were 0.99 and 0.95 respectively. Repeatability for the first and the second observer were 0.98 and 0.99 respectively. Conclusions: The proposed method of assessing ocular torsion can be performed quickly and easily in daily practice. The results indicate that this free web-based software provides reliable and accurate measurements of the DFA and thus objective cyclodeviation in both orthotropic and strabismic patients. THURSDAY, 29TH SEPTEMBER 12 13 EFFECT OF „GRADED’ RECESSION OF INFERIOR OBLIQUE MUSCLE IN STRABISMUS SURSOADDUCTORIUS Maneschg, Otto A.; Knézy, Krisztina; Maka, Erika; Volek, Éva; Nagy, Zoltán Z Semmelweis University Dep. of Ophthalmology, HUNGARY SUPERIOR OBLIQUE TROCHLEAR INJURIES: CLINICAL FEATURES AND STRABISMUS TREATMENT Armesto, Alejandro l; Ugrin, Maria C Hospital Aleman Ophthalmology, ARGENTINA Purpose: Retrospective semiquantitative analysis of clinical results after graded recession in inferior oblique overaction (IOO) in strabismus sursoadductorius. Methods: During a period of 4 years (2012-2015) we operated 43 patients (mean age 12.3 ± 7.1 SD) with inferior oblique overaction (IOO) with recession (8 mm, 10 mm or maximal) of the inferior oblique muscle sceduling the procedure depending of vertical deviation (VD) in maximal adduction. Maximal recession (14 - 15 mm) included an anteroposition to the lateral aspect of the insertion of the inferior rectus. We analyzed the dose-response relation of graded recession and evaluated the squint angle in five positions of gaze by prisms and Maddox cross examination preoperatively and postoperative 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after surgery. We also examined BCVA, binocular single vision and other complications after surgery. Results: 31 patients had a normal binocular single vision. The mean effect of the operation on VD in 25° adduction increased from 5.5 ° with 8mm recession to 13.1 ° with maximal recession. In 3 patients postoperatively vertical deviation was over 10 ° and reoperation was needed during a follow up of 5 – 12 months. Conclusions: Graded recession of inferior oblique muscle is a suitable proposed procedure in patients with marked strabismus sursoadductorius. The rate of functional undercorrection is low and there is low risk from general anesthesia or significant postoperative limitation of elevation. Introduction: Trochlear damage has been described following orbital roof fracture, orbital penetrating trauma, dog bite, sinus surgery and cosmetic blepharoplasty of the upper lids. We present a series of 5 patients with superior oblique disfunction due to trochlear damage of different causes. Materials and Methods: Five patients sought treatment for vertical binocular diplopia. Four of them had a history of orbital trauma, three following blunt trauma and one after a cosmetic rhinoplasty. The fifth patient had Wegener´s disease. A complete ophthalmological evaluation and orbital imaging have been performed in all patients. Three patients had undergone strabismus surgery and one have been treated with prisms. Results: Three of our patients had a history of trauma in the area of the superior oblique pulley and one had a fracture of the base of the nose, intentionally performed by the plastic surgeon for a cosmetic rhinoplasty, that progressed up to the trochlear fossa. The fifth patient had an active Wegener´s disease in the area of the SO pulley that was accurately disclosed in a PET scan. The trochlear lesions in the penetrating injuries patients went unnoticed when first treated elsewhere, and were diagnosed only when examined for diplopia. Three patients had a trochlear detachment and two had inflammation in the area of the trochlear fossa. Two patients had superior oblique underaction with elevation deficit in adduction (secondary Brown syndrome), and three had SO underaction with inferior oblique overaction. In onee patient the trochlea was surgically reattached, but ocular misalignement persisted. Three were successfully treated with surgery, one had a residual SO underaction despite a SO tuck performed elsewhere, and the Wegener´s patient did well with prisms. Conclusions: Strabismus due to trochlear injury is difficult to treat. Trochlear detachment leads to SO underaction and inflammation in the trochlear fossa may lead to intense scarring and limitation to elevation in adduction. Thus, same side hypertropia when depressing the eye in adduction is often combined with hypotropia when attempting elevation in adduction. Trochlear reattachment is difficult and frequently frustrating and surgery on the extraocular muscles is necessary. A SO tuck of the affected muscle associated with a contralateral inferior rectus posterior myoscleropexy can help to relieve diplopia. 33 ABSTRACTS: FREE PAPERS 14 BOTULINUM TOXIN INJECTION OF SUPERIOR RECTUS MUSCLE IN SUPERIOR OBLIQUE PALSY WITH LARGE VERTICAL DEVIATION Seyhan B. Özkan, Faruk Balıca Adnan Menderes University Medical School Department of Ophthalmology, Aydin, TURKEY Purpose: In superior oblique (SO) palsy with large vertical deviation, inferior oblique (IO) weakening alone is not sufficient to correct the deviation. Secondary contracture of superior rectus (SR) muscle may develop in long standing cases which requires superior rectus recession in addition to IO weakening. The trouble with that combined surgery is the risk of overcorrection. In an attempt to weaken the SR muscle without having the overcorrection risk we combined IO weakening with ipsilateral SR botulinum toxin injection. Methods: Three cases with SO palsy at 5, 26 and 35 years of age are presented. All of the patients underwent IO disinsertion in combination with 5 units of botulinum toxin injection into the ipsilateral SR muscle per operatively. Follow up was between 1217 months. Results: The preoperative vertical angle of deviation was 25, 28 and 30 prism diopters. All of the patients had the clinical signs of secondary superior rectus contracture. Post operative angle of deviation ranged between 0-4 prism diopters at the final visit. One of the patients developed ptosis that resolved in four weeks time. Conclusions: In SO palsy with large angle of deviation with secondary SR contracture, weakening the SR muscle with botulinum toxin in combination with surgical weakening of IO muscle seems to be a safe and effective method in long term. However the patients must be warned about the possibility of transient ptosis. 34 THURSDAY, 29TH SEPTEMBER 15 HARADA-ITO MODIFICATION: PLICATION OF ANTERIOR FIBERS OF SUPERIOR OBLIQUE WITHOUT DISSECTION OR MUSCLE SPLITTING Stavis, Monte I Pediatric Ophthalmology of Houston, UNITED STATES Introduction: The Harada-Ito procedure tightens the split lower third of the superior oblique to correct excyclotorsion without causing much change in depression and abduction. A modification is described in which the muscle is NOT split. Methods: The superior oblique is hooked. Laxity and position are noted. A permanent 6-0 mersilene suture is tied with a square knot on ONLY 1 ½ mm of the lower part of the superior oblique between 2-4 mm back from the anterior insertion. The muscle is NOT DISSECTED FREE of the superior rectus and is NOT SPLIT. The needle is placed into the sclera where the muscle feels taught but not tight, usually 2-3mm anterior and 2-3mm lateral, cinched up, and tied. In patients with large excyclotorsion and NO UPSHOOT IN ADDUCTION, an inferior oblique 2/3 partial Z tenotomy was performed first. UPSHOOT in adduction is treated with inferior oblique recession. If significant excyclotorsion remains after inferior oblique surgery, as determined by indirect ophthalmoscopy, this Harada-Ito modification is performed. Torsion is reevaluated. Results: This procedure was performed in 23 eyes of 15 patients. Follow up was 1 to 24 months. A few patients developed a +1/2 to 1+ depression in adduction. One eye was reoperated. Correction of excylotorsion regressed slightly. Discussion: This Harada-Ito modification is easier and safer to perform, and allows better quantification of intraoperative tension. Significant tightening of the posterior fibers did not occur. Conclusion: Modified non-muscle splitting Harada-Ito has many advantages and no disadvantages when compared to the classic or Fells modification. Harada M, Ito Y. Visual correction of cyclotropia.

Methods: All patients underwent unremarkable LASIK using Schwind Amaris 750S laser platforms. Patients were included as follows group I,monocular myopes II,binocular myopes III,binocular hyperopes IV,binocular astigmats V,binocular anisometropes. An age and gender matched control was also included (group VI). Aniseikonia and stereoacuity (RanDot) were evaluated at 6m using polarised chart (CSO, Vision Chart CVC03 v2.0.0, Firenze, Italy). Near stereoacuity was measured using Titmus Fly test (Vision Assessment Corporation, Elk Grove, Illinois,USA). Measurements were recorded at pre-and 1 year postop. Data were collected under the same ambient conditions at all times and analysed using appropriate non-parametric statistical tests (p<0.05 was regarded as significant). Results: Reporting the major findings were as follows I, (n=20) aniseikonia reduced, stereoacuity improved at distance and near. II, (n=20) aniseikonia reduced, stereoacuity improved at distance. III, (n=18) aniseikonia reduced, stereoacuity improved at distance and near. IV, (n=20) there was no significant changes in aniseikonia or stereoacuity. V, (n=20) aniseikonia reduced, stereoacuity improved at distance and near. VI, (n=20) remained unchanged. Conclusions: Binocular vision improved in monocular and anisometric cases as expected. Also, as expected, binocular vision did not improve in binocular astigmats. Surprisingly, binocular status did improve in the myopic and hyperopic cases. This could be associated with changes in ocular aberrations or other factors. LASIK has a tendency to elevate binocular function. 36 17 CYCLOFUSION AND TARGET ORIENTATION Davis, Helen; Donnachie, Alice; Buckley, David University of Sheffield, UNITED KINGDOM Purpose: To evaluate whether the orientation of a target would alter the amount of excyclofusion achieved. If so was this similar with the stimulus presented on a computer as compared to the synoptophore. Methods: Thirty six participants aged between 18 and 30 years were tested. All had a visual acuity of 0.200 LogMAR or better in each eye and stereoacuity of at least 85 seconds of arc as measured by the Frisby Near Stereotest. Twenty four participants were presented with a stimulus on the computer which consisted of lines in either a vertical or horizontal orientation. The use of shutter glasses allowed fusion of the lines and for the image in front of the left eye to be intorted in increments of 0.5 degrees. The other 12 participants fused the after image line slides in the synoptophore. Both were placed in the same orientation either vertical or horizontal and fused before the image in front of the left eye was gradually intorted. In both cases break point and recovery point were recoreded. Results: Cyclofusional amplitudes were larger when tested on the synoptophore than when tested on the computer. The break point was significantly larger (p<0.05) when the participant viewed the vertical stimuli in both testing conditions. Conclusions: The horizontal disparity created by cyclotorsion of the vertical stimuli allows for much greater fusional amplitudes than the vertical disparity created by the horizontal stimuli. This may account for some variability of control in acquired oblique muscle palsies. FRIDAY, 30TH SEPTEMBER 18 19 LONG TERM OUTCOME OF HIGH VERSUS VERY HIGH HYPERMETROPIC CHILDREN Ziylan, Sule; Gokce, Berna; Parlakgunes, Zeynep Yeditepe University school of medicine,Istanbul Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, TURKEY ACUTE ACQUIRED COMITANT ESOTROPIA CLASSIFICATION AND FACTORS INFLUENCING REGAIN OF STEREOPSIS AFTER SURGERY Hesgaard, Helena Buch; Vinding, Troels; La Cour, Morten; Holst, Inger Copenhagen Eye & Strabismus clinic / & affiliated with Rigshopsitalet – Glostrup, DENMARK Purpose: To evaluate the long-term outcome of high hypermetropic children , comparing the groups of 5.00-8.00 D and ≥8.00 D, by means of visual acuity, stereopsis and strabismus. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients having ≥5D of hypermetropia without anisometropia (≤1.5D). Data were collected on the magnitude of spherical equivalent hypermetropia, best corrected visual acuity (VA) with Snellen or Tumbling E charts, stereopsis and strabismus. Patients were divided into two groups as 5-8D(group1) and ≥8D(group2) spherical equivalent hyperopia. Results of two groups were analyzed according to improvement of visual acuity, stereopsis and strabismus. Results: A total of 73 children met the criteria. The mean followup was 54.8 months. Visual acuity between the first and the last examination was increased significantly in both groups (p1 and p2=0 ) . Improvement of stereopsis was significantly higher in both groups (p=0,037 ,p=0,042 respectively). The comparison of the improvement of visual acuity and stereopsis between the two groups (both left and right eyse) was not statistically significant. In addition to this, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of the development of strabismus. Conclusion: Visual acuity and stereopsis of children with high hyperopia improved satisfactorily with spectacle correction and . There is no statistical difference on the development of strabismus between two groups having spherical equivalence of 5.00 to 8.00 D or more than 8.00 D at the first exam and the last exam. Purpose: To elucidate the etiologic factors for acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE) in childhood and study factors influencing regain of stereopsis after strabismus surgery for AACE. Material and Methods: Retrospective analysis of children referred with AACE from May 2000 to March 2013. All children underwent complete pre- and postoperative ophthalmological and orthoptic examinations. Results: We reviewed the charts of 48 children. Seven causespecific types of AACE were identified. Intracranial disease was present in 6%, and 4 risk factors were identified to guide clinicians when to perform brain imaging. A total of 24 of the 48 children with AACE underwent strabismus surgery within the 13 year study period. All children were aligned within 8Δ or less of orthotropia at near (1/3 m) postoperatively. At the 6 week postoperative examination 4 of the 24 children (16.7%) had regained normal stereopsis (TNO 60”). At the long-term follow-up, additional 7 children (29.2%) had regained normal stereopsis. Of the 24 children, 11 (45.8%) regained normal stereopsis, 4 (17.0%) regained moderate degree of stereopsis (TNO 120” – 1980”), 6 (25.0%) had simultaneous perception with Bagolini lenses, while 3 children (12.5%) demonstrated suppression. Accordingly, 62.5% (15/24) of the children who underwent surgery regained some degree of stereopsis postoperatively. These children were older at AACE onset (P=0.05 Fishers exact; P=0.01 t-test). Additionally, there was an insignificant trend towards shorter delay of surgery (P=0.08) and presence of fusion preoperatively (P=0.1) among those who regained normal stereopsis compared to those who did not regain stereopsis postoperatively. Conclusion: Findings of seven cause-specific types of AACE suggest classification of AACE of childhood. The potential for regain of stereopsis was large among children with AACE. The reemergence of stereopsis may take several months, and depends on age at onset. Delay of surgery among children younger than 6 years may worsen the prognosis for regain of stereopsis. 37 ABSTRACTS: FREE PAPERS 20 21 STEREOACUITY IN PEDIATRIC BLOWOUT FRACTURES IN THE COPENHAGEN REGION IN A 10 YEAR PERIOD WITH 5 YEAR FOLLOW-UP Saunte, Jon Peiter; Torp-Pedersen, Tobias; Wolsing, Lone Ophthalmology Department, Rigshospitalet, Glostrup, Copenhagen University Hospital, DENMARK INTERHEMISPHERIC CONNECTIONS IN HUMAN BINOCULARITY Marcel ten Tusscher, Anne Cees Houtman University Hospital Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ophthalmology, BELGIUM Introduction: Pediatric “white-eyed” blowout fractures can be difficult to diagnose. Little information on long time results after orbital fractures in the pediatric population exists. We describe the results of a 5 year follow-up study of children as measured by persisting diplopia and stereoacuity level. Purpose: To evaluate any persisting diplopia and stereoacuity in pediatric patients with orbital fractures. Methods: A diagnose search in a 10 year period in Copenhagen, Denmark, revealed 13 patients under the age of 16 with orbital fractures,who were offered an orthoptic re-evaluation. Stereoacuity at near and diplopia any was noted. Results: 9 patients had an eye-exam. One with unilateral traumatic optic neuropathy and –LP was excluded.1 girl and 7 boys were included, mean age 9 years (4-15y), follow-up-time mean 64 months (30-169). 0 of 8 had diplopia in primary position, 4 had diplopia in down-gaze, and 6 had diplopia in up-gaze. 7 of 8 had stereoacuity of 60 seconds of arc (”) or better, one had 240”. Conclusions: Pediatric orbital fractures can due to entrapment of orbital contents in the fracture line cause damage to the extraocular musculature and adnex tissue. In a group of 8 childen, at 5 year follow-up orthoptic evaluation after a white-eyed- pediatric orbital fractures, the stereo acuity was found normal in 7 of 8 patients, but persisting diplopia was found in 6 of 8 patients in up gaze, and in 4 in down gaze. 38 Aim: Partial chiasmal decussation is a prerequisite for binocular vision in man. The role of the corpus callosum (CC) in human binocular development is largely unknown. Besides visual field unification the corpus callosum is implicated in central stereopsis and disparity detection. Individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum may show normal stereopsis and disparity vergence. We set out to study interhemispherical pathways. Methods: Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) of the interhemispheric connections of the primary and secondary visual areas (V1, V2) and grey matter analysis in 9 normal volunteers, in 4 subjects with infantile esotropia (IE), and in one man with callosal agenesis with normal binocularity. Results: DTI showed interhemispheric connection through the corpus callosum in all subjects. Fibers connecting the right V1 were more abundant in 2 subjects with IE and greatly reduced in 2 others. All 4 showed abnormal fiber morphology. Anomalous tracts through the anterior commissure linking the occipital cortices bilaterally were shown in the subject with callosal agenesis. Conclusion: In all subjects areas V1 and V2 are connected to the contralateral V1 and V2 via interhemispheric fibers. Subjects with IE showed abnormal numbers of transcallosal fibers connecting the right V1 and a different fiber pattern. Callosal agenesis may result in restructuring of the interhemispheric fibers. An alternative binocular pathway may be established via the anterior commissure. This study demonstrates that the CC has an important role in normal binocular development. FRIDAY, 30TH SEPTEMBER 22 23 STRABISMUS INDICATES SEVERITY OF MOTOR IMPAIRMENT IN CEREBRAL PALSY (CP) Chaudhuri, Zia; Nagpal, Manisha; Jain, Rajesh Lady Hardinge Medical College & Associated Hospitals, University of Delhi, Department of Genetics, University of Delhi South Campus, PGIMER, Dr RML Hospital, INDIA THE CHALLENGE OF DIAGNOSING MYASTHENIA IN NEURO-OPHTHALMOLOGY Drimtzias, Evangelos; Hoole, Janice K; Simmons, Ian G ST James University Hospital, UNITED KINGDOM Background: CP is functionally classified by the gross motor function classification system (GMFCS), manual ability classification system (MACS) and motor syndrome / topographical type as per the European classification. The purpose of the study was to assess the relevance of ocular misalignment as an easily observable ophthalmic parameter that could be assessed with these functional motor classifications as a marker for more severe motor impairment, necessitating more stringent care. Methods: An observational, cross-sectional–design prospective study was conducted by morphological and functional assessment by GMFCS, MACS, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS) and the European classification alongwith a complete ophthalmic assessment on a representative cohort of 100 children with CP between 4 to 18 years of age with mean age (6.85 ± 2.92 years), (M: F:: 57:43), referred from a pediatric neurology clinic in a tertiary care pediatric hospital. Results: Strabismus (58%) and refractive errors (92%) were found to be the most common ophthalmic anomalies. Both GMFCS and MACS scales showed higher prevalence of squint and refractive errors in the severely impaired groups as compared to mildly impaired groups. By the European classification, spastic quadriplegics had higher prevalence of squint and refractive errors than spastic diplegics & hemiplegics. The VABS score assessing adaptive levels of functioning of these children demonstrated significantly reduction with increased levels of severity of CP as per both functional and topographical scales. Purpose: Myasthenia affecting the eyes continues to be a challenging diagnosis to make. Confirmatory tests may fail to positively identify the clinical suspicion. The purpose of this study is to identify clinical signs which can be of diagnostic value in establishing the diagnosis. Methods: Clinical data of nineteen patients who presented with symptoms suspicious of myasthenia were reviewed retrospectively. Subjects underwent orthoptic assessment, ophthalmic examination, laboratory testing and neurology review. Results: Median age at diagnosis was 55 years (range: 29 – 77 years). Variable diplopia was the most common symptom at presentation accounting for 61% of the cases. Approximately one third of the patients had a history of unilateral/bilateral fatiguing ptosis. Inferior rectus underaction and variable motility were the most commonly reported signs on clinical examination. Myasthenia was confirmed in 10 patients, ocular in 5 and general in 5. Five subjects remain undiagnosed in the long-term. Chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetic fourth nerve palsy and migraine were diagnosed in the rest of the cohort. Positive acetylcholine receptor antibodies were found in half of the patients diagnosed with ocular myasthenia and in 75% of those with the generalized form. Ice-pack test was positive in two thirds of the group. Fatiguing ptosis and variable diplopia were found to be strong predictors of final diagnosis. Inferior rectus underaction was present in 70% of myasthenics but that and the ice-pack test were not statistically significant as diagnostic indicators. Conclusion: Clinical signs and symptoms are of prognostic value in establishing diagnosis. A multidisciplinary team approach is required. Conclusions: Strabismus is indeed an easily observable ophthalmic parameter that indicates more severe motor impairment in CP by different functional, topographical and adaptive scales. 39 ABSTRACTS: FREE PAPERS 24 INCIDENCE OF OCULAR MOTILITY DISORDERS FOLLOWING STROKE Fiona J Rowe, Lauren Hepworth, Kerry Hanna, Claire Howard Department of Health Services Research, University of Liverpool, UK Purpose: To report annual incidence of ocular motility disorders in an acute adult stroke population. Methods: A prospective, epidemiology study was conducted from 1.6.14 to 30.6.15 across 3 stroke units. All patients were assessed on the stroke unit. Patients who could not be assessed were coded for reasons why. Assessment included visual acuity, visual fields, ocular alignment, ocular motility, visual inattention and visual perception. Results: There was no significant difference across recruiting sites for general demographics so data were pooled. There were 51% males and 49% females, mean age of 73.4 (SD 13.8) years, 87% ischaemic strokes. 1289 patients were recruited: 144 died before assessment and 148 could never be assessed. Overall 997 patients were assessed and diagnosed. Over half were assessed within 3 days. 574 could not be assessed at baseline so were reviewed at visit 1 (median 3 days later). Two thirds were assessed with diagnosis within 1 month and the majority within 2 months. 251/997 (25.2%) had normal eye exams. 746/997 (74.8%) had visual impairment: 63% with impaired central vision, 43.8% with ocular motility disorders, 28.7% with visual field loss, 27.8% with visual inattention and 3.8% with visual perceptual disorders. Ocular motility disorders comprised acquired strabismus, gaze palsy, cranial nerve palsy, vergence impairment and nystagmus. Conclusions: The incidence of post-stroke visual impairment in adult stroke survivors is 75% with an incidence of 44% for ocular motility disorders. This is higher than previous reports, and highlights the need for integration of visual assessment as a core post-stroke assessment. 40 FRIDAY, 30TH SEPTEMBER 25 PARINAUD SYNDROME OR NUCLEAR THIRD NERVE PALSY? SPIELMANN, Alain C; Gravier, Nicolas Ravinelle Centre, FRANCE Purpose: An acquired elevation palsy (Parinaud syndrome), due to a damage of the midbrain tectum is usually not associated with hypotropia. Two cases with elevation palsy and hypotropia were studied to discuss an associated damage of the superior rectus sub-nucleus, and to show how clinical examination can help differentiate both. Method: Five cases of acquired elevation palsy were studied. Two cases with elevation palsy and hypotropia were compared with three other cases without hypotropia. The patients had clinical examination, Lancaster chart, fundus photographs, video recordings of ocular motility and MRI of the brain. Similarities and differences were looked for. Results: The clinical features in the 2 cases with hypotropia were: elevation palsy in both eye with retraction of the superior lids, vertical diplopia, absence of nystagmus and absence of convergence spasm. The Lancaster chart showed a palsy of the superior rectus in the hypotropic eye. The MRI was normal in both cases. One of these patients was operated on, making the diplopia disappear (adjustable resection of the superior rectus). The underlying neuronal circuitry will be discussed to determine the site of the lesion. Conclusion: It is believed that the 2 patients with hypotropia and elevation palsy had a damage of both the superior rectus subnucleus and the midbrain tectum, as an elective lesion of the subnucleus should not be enough to explain all the clinical features. The lesion might be too small to be detected by MRI. 41 ABSTRACTS: FREE PAPERS 26 27 SHORT TAG NOOSE ADJUSTABLE SUTURES – IN ADULTS AND CHILDREN – HOW MANY NEEDS ADJUSTMENT – AND WHEN? Loenkvist, Claes S; Saunte, Jon Peiter Rigshospitalet - Glostrup, DENMARK THE CONTRIBUTION OF SUTURE ADJUSTMENT TO THE OUTCOME OF STRABISMUS SURGERY FOR ADULTS WITH SYMPTOMATIC INTERMITTENT EXOTROPIA. Raoof, Naz; Sloper, John Strabismus and Paediatric Service, Moorfields Eye Hospital, London, UNITED KINGDOM First author email: [email protected] Affiliations: Ophthalmology Department, Rigshospitalet, Glostrup, Copenhagen University Hospital, Nordre Ringvej 56, 2600 Copenhagen, Denmark Introduction: Adjustable sutures whith hidden knots under conjuctiva provides a flexible tool for the strabismus surgeon, and with application of the short tag noose suture (stnt), delayed adjustment is possible. Stnt provides the surgeon a second chance to reach target deviation, especially useful in patients with paralytic or restrictive strabismus, or in re-operations. Purpose: To evaluate outcomes in frequency of performed adjustment and alignment in patients where stnt was applied – and to evaluate benefits and risks of delayed adjustment in specific cases. Methods: All patients who underwent strabismus surgery in one University Hospital by three strabismus surgeons during an 8 month period are registrered with a minimum of 6 w follow-up time are evaluated. Stnt cases are analyzed, and delayed time (days) and frequency (%) of adjustment is registrered. All complications are reported. Results: Of a total of 345 strabismus surgeries, 96 (28%) patients (m/f-ratio:49/47, age 6-81y, 6 under age 15y) had stnt placed on one or more muscles. 27 (28%) needed adjustment, performed up to 5 days after the surgery. One 73- year old woman with thyroid eye disease suffered from a delayed infection and mild scleritis initated 5 weeks after surgery, which responded well to topical antibiotic and systemic sterioid treatment. Conclusions: In pediatric and adult strabismus, stnt provides an extra chance to reach the target deviation and is found to be safe to perform. Delayed adjustment allows the surgeon to plan surgery adjustment in a time slot available in the department. 42 Introduction: Although comparisons have been made for overall success rates of strabismus surgery with and without adjustable sutures 1-3, we have found no description of the difference made to individual patient outcomes by post-operative suture adjustment. Methods: A retrospective chart analysis was performed for 14 consecutive adult patients who underwent unilateral medial rectus resection and lateral rectus recession under general anaesthesia for symptomatic intermittent exotropia. All surgery was performed by, or under the immediate supervision of, one surgeon. Adjustments were performed under topical anaesthesia by the same surgeon 6 to 8 hours after surgery, assisted by an experienced orthoptist, who measured the distance angle in primary position before and after adjustment using the alternate prism cover test. Eye movements were also examined, with particular reference to lateral incomitance and diplopia in side-gaze. Results: Sutures were adjusted for 9 of 14 patients. For those not requiring adjustment, the mean pre-operative distance angle was 39 p.d. base-in. Immediately following surgery their mean distance angle was 5.6 p.d. base-in, increasing to 9.6 p.d. base-in at 3 months after surgery. For those who were adjusted, the mean pre-operative distance angle was 40 p.d. base-in. Immediately following surgery their mean distance angle was 6.1 p.d. base-out adjusted to 3.8 p.d. base-in. Three months after surgery the mean had increased to 8.8 p.d. base-in. Discussion: The use of adjustable sutures allowed the use of larger surgical dosages knowing that symptomatic overcorrections could be corrected at adjustment and lateral gaze diplopia minimised. Conclusion: Suture adjustment improved surgical outcomes for these patients. References: 1. Zhang MS, Hutchinson AK, Drack AV, Cleveland, J, Lambert, S.

SATURDAY, 1ST OCTOBER 28 29 THE SUCCESS RATES OF ADJUSTABLE SUTURE SURGERY IN HORIZONTAL STRABISMUS Ziylan, Sule; Gokce, Berna; Parlakgunes, Zeynep Yeditepe University school of medicine, Istanbul Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, TURKEY Y-SPLITTING OF THE LATERAL RECTUS FOR TREATMENT OF UPSHOOT AND DOWNSHOOT AND DOWNSHOOT IN DUANE’S RETRACTION SYNDROME El Adawy, Ibrahim T Mansoura Ophthalmic Center, Mansoura University, EGYPT Purpose: To detect success of surgical results of adjustable suture surgery for strabismus. Methods: This retrospective study is performed in patients who underwent adjustable suture surgery in our clinic between April 2008 to January 2016. All patients had horizontal strabismus (16 patients had esotropia and 28 patients had exotropia). Restrictive and paralytic strabismus were excluded. Postoperative suture adjustment was performed 8 or 24 hours after surgery. The angle of deviation was measured before surgery, before and after adjustment, and at the final follow-up examination. Surgical success was set to a range between orthotropia and a deviation of up to 10 PD for both ET and XT. Results: The total number of patients was 44, including 22 (%50) female and 22 (%50) male. Mean age of the patients was 33,6±14,5 (ranged 15 to 64) years. The follow-up period was 6-80 ( mean 16.5 ) months. Suture position was not changed in 28 (63.6%) patients. Knot pushed back in 6(13.6%) patients and pulled forward in 10(22.7%) patients. Surgical success achieved in 37(84%) patients. Only one patient was scheduled for a second surgery. Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of Y-splitting of the lateral rectus to eliminate upshoot & downshoot in Duane’s retraction syndrome (DRS). Methods: Cases with DRS presented with upshot or downshoot were treated (among the other surgical plan) with Y-splitting of the lateral rectus. Results: Thirty five cases of DRS presented with upshot & downshoot were included in the study; Y-splitting of the lateral rectus was done in all cases. All cases showed marked improvement with elimination of upshoots & downshoots. Conclusion: Y-splitting of the lateral rectus is very effective in treatment of upshoots or downshoots in DRS. Conclusions: It is most likelye to achieve a high level of success with adjustable suture surgery .Almost all of the patients were satisfied from the results. It should be preferred in appropriate cases especially who has undergone multiple surgeries before . 43 ABSTRACTS: FREE PAPERS 30 31 LATERAL SPLITTING TECHNIQUE FOR COMPLETE THIRD NERVE PARALYSIS Goberville, mitra; Guepratte, Nathalie; Krivosic, Valerie Centre Ophtalmologique Lauriston, FRANCE LONG TERM RESULTS OF YSPLIT LATERAL RECTUS TRANSPOSITON TO THE MEDIAL RECTUS AREA IN COMPLETE THIRD NERVE PALSY Gokyigit, Birsen; Akar, serpil; Aygit, Ebru D; Inal, Asli; Ocak, Osman B Beyoglu education and training eye hospital, TURKEY Purpose: Complete N.III palsy is very challenging for the strabismus surgeon as the eye is blocked in abduction and vertical muscles are also paralysed making vertical transposition usually ineffective. Splitting of the lateral rectus, described by Kaufmann in 1990 can be helpful in these cases. This study aims to analyse the results and one complication of this surgery which is transitory retinal detachment and its mechanisms. Method: 5 eyes of 4 patients with complete N. III palsy underwent a lateral splitting surgery between 2010 and 2016. In 3 cases, the lateral splitting was the first and only procedure. In 1 case (2 eyes) maximal recession/ resection surgery had been performed before with a recurrence of a major deviation. Results: In all cases the preoperative horizontal deviation was more than 50 pd with total paralysis of abduction and vertical movements. In 4/5 cases the final deviation was less than 12 pd with limitation of all the movements of the eye and a very small excursion capacity. In one case, a central retinal detachment occurred after surgery with spontaneous resolution after two weeks. The mechanism of these detachments is probably related to vascular modifications created by the muscle sheets on their path. Conclusion: The lateral splitting seems to give good and steady results in correcting deviation in severe complete N III palsy. Several cases of transitory retinal detachments were reported. 44 Purpose: Y split medial transposition of lateral rectus operation has nearly perfect restoration of ocular motility in primary position for complete third nerve palsy cases. The aim of this study to evaluate the long term results of operated cases for their visual acuity change, ocular motility stability and complications. Methods: Retrospective screen of patients’ records and last control visit performed to 13 patients who underwent operation at least 24 months ego. Pre and postoperative DATA evaluated by SPSS for Windows program. Results: Except for 3,all other patients’ visual acuity found similar with their preoperative values. When visual acuity improved in 2 young patients (because of strict ambliopia treatment), one patient lost 1 line Snellen because of retina problem just following the operation. Patients’ ocular motilities were found stable after third month control visit. Only one case had transient retina problem. Conclusion: Y split medial transposition of lateral rectus operation found safe with stable results for long term follow-up for complete third nerve palsy. SATURDAY, 1ST OCTOBER 32 33 ANDERSON PROCEDURE FOR NYSTAGMUSRELATED HEAD-TURN – DECREASING LONGTERM EFFECT Michael Gräf, Birgit Lorenz Department of Ophthalmology, Justus-Liebig-University Giessen, GERMANY SUCCESS MODIFICATON OF SINSKEY OPERATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF NYSTAGMUS PATIENTS WHO HAD NOT NULL POINT Gokyigit, Birsen; Ocak, Osman B; Inal, Asli; Aygit, Ebru D.; Basarir, Berna Beyoglu Education and Training Eye Hospital, TURKEY Purpose: The major goal of extraocular muscle surgery for nystagmus is to reduce abnormal head posture. The Anderson procedure (AP) shifts the eccentric null zone to the primary gaze position by bilateral recession of the yoke muscles opposite to the abnormal head-turn (AHT). There are only few studies on the effectiveness of the AP. We report on our cumulative experience with the AP. Purpose: Maximal subtotal extirpation of the horizontal rectus muscles for the treatment of nystagmus cases with no null point introduced by Sinskey in 2002. But following the operation patients were had serious exo-deviations. The aim of the study is to introduce a modification of the Sinskey operation and evaluate the visual and ocular motility restoration with normal appearance outcomes of maximal excision of the horizontal rectus muscles in nystagmus patients. Methods: The AP was performed in 17 consecutive orthotropes with idiopathic or sensory defect associated infantile nystagmus and AHT. Medians and ranges (min – max) were: age at surgery, 8 years (4–44); AHT during a visual acuity task, 30 deg (20–40); equal recessions on the yoke muscles opposite to the AHT of 12 mm (10–14). One patient received augmentation by bovine pericard grafts of effectively 5 mm and 6 mm, respectively after initial recessions of 12 mm O.U. Material and Method: Sinskey operation performed on 9 cases with un-attached 10mm non-absorbable 6/0 suture on stumps. Postoperative severe exo-deviation treated either advancement of medial rectus or vertical recti muscle union procedures. a modification .A complete eye examination was performed pre- and postoperatively for all cases. Patients’ pre and postoperative DATA evaluated by SPSS® 16 for Windows program. Results: At follow-up 3 months after surgery (after augmentation in one case), AHT was reduced to 5 deg (0–20). Success rates (head turn ≤10 deg and ≤15 deg) were 88% and 94%. After 6-30 months (9 patients) the residual AHT was 15 deg (0–20) due to increased AHT in 4 patients. Success rates were 44% and 56%. No over-effect and adverse side-effects were observed. Results: All patients had reduction of their normal and abnormal horizontal eye movement and improvement of their objective and/ or subjective visual acuity. Postoperative severe exo-deviation was completely recovered after second operation in 4 cases. There were no anterior segment ischemia and need further operations least 6 month follow-up. Conclusions: The “high-dosage” Anderson procedure significantly reduced AHT. Large recessions of at least some 12 mm on the yoke muscles appear essential to achieve the desired effect. The initially high success rates decreased during the long term follow up. Conclusion: Modified Sinskey operation and vertical recti muscle union procedure for consecutive deviation were found safe and effective procedures for nystagmus patients who had no null points. 45 ABSTRACTS: FREE PAPERS 34 35 SLANTED MEDIAL RECTUS RECESSIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CONVERGENCE EXCESS ESOTROPIA; A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS La Roche, G Robert; Tremblay, François; Gravier, Nicolas Dalhousie University Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, CANADA POST-SURGICAL RECURRENCES OF STRABISMUS IN SAGGING EYE SYNDROME (SES) Chaudhuri, Zia; Demer, Joseph L Lady Hardinge Medical College & Associated Hospitals, University of Delhi, Department of Genetics, University of Delhi South Campus, PGIMER, Dr RML Hospital, New Delhi, INDIA We report a quantitative analysis of the effect of slanted medial rectus recessions as a treatment of Convergent Excess Esotropia in children. This retrospective review of 30 cases operated in two centres is serving as a pilot study demonstrating the validity and feasibility of a multicentre trial on this simple yet seemingly effective technique. There have been numerous surgical approaches described for convergence excess esotropia. Many, if not most, have significant drawbacks. In 2012, Ellis et al reported on favourable and stable results of a slanted recession technique. The basic and simple principle of this approach describes recessing both medial recti with selective re-implantation to the sclera of the upper and lower poles of the muscles based on the near and distance measurements respectively. Clark and Demer have presented work showing the probable physiological rational for a differential action of the upper vs lower half of the recti, helping to explain the increased effect on a near deviation of the selective larger recession of the lower pole of a medial rectus. We have analysed quantitatively the results of 30 cases where bilateral slanted medial recti recessions was used to treat convergence excess in children at two independent centres. An excellent overall result showed an average alignment to orthotropia for distance (from an average 17∆ ET pre-op) while the decrease of the convergence excess was 80% of the original angle (average residual angle of 6,5∆ Esotropia post-operatively). Analysis of the correlation between the amount of convergence corrected and the slant of reinsertion defined as the augmentation of recession at the lower pole of the muscle insertion relative to the top was 0,34 with no interference by the upper pole recession. This correlation increases in cases of non accommodative convergence excess and seems to remain constant for all amounts of slant used. We feel these promising results of an independent analysis since Ellis’s report warrant a larger study to confirm the therapeutic value of slanted medial rectus recession in convergence excess esotropia. 46 Purpose: Strabismus due to SES, occurring due to age-related connective tissue involution, is now an established cause of acute or chronic diplopia in the geriatric population. High suspicion of the condition results in early recognition and often obviates need for extensive neurological investigations, and enables surgical correction of the strabismus. Methods: This retrospective study reviewed results of surgical procedures performed on 93 patients (40 males) of average age 68±12 years, who had small angle strabismus due to SES, during the 20-year period 1994-2014. Results: In central gaze, mean pre-operative esotropia was 4.2±7.5 PD, while mean hypertropia was 4.7±5.9 PD. Surgeries comprised medial rectus (MR) recession; lateral rectus (LR) resection; plication, imbrication and superior transposition of the LR to the superior rectus (SR) for esotropia; and graded vertical rectus tenotomies (GVRT) and vertical muscle recessions for hypertropia. Mean post-operative immediate and long-term deviation after 316±678 months average follow-up was 0.2±1.2 PD and 1.1±2.7 PD respectively for horizontal strabismus and 0.00 PD and 1.1±2.7 PD respectively for vertical strabismus. There was recurrence of strabismus seen in 9 cases, possibly because of progressive involutional changes. Conclusions: Irrespective of surgical procedures performed, progressive connective tissue involution in SES may occasionally result in symptomatic recurrences of the small angle strabismus within two years in about 10% of patients. This risk should be disclosed pre-operatively. SATURDAY, 1ST OCTOBER 36 37 AN OPTOKINETIC CLUE TO THE PATHOGENESIS OF CROSSED FIXATION IN INFANTILE ESOTROPIA Brodsky, Michael C.; Klaehn, Lindsay Mayo Clinic, Rochester, USA STRABISMUS DIGITALIZATION FOR BETTER EVALUTATION Hakim, Ossama Magrabi Eye Hospital Paediatric Ophthalmology, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES Purpose: To elucidate the pathophysiology of crossed fixation in infantile esotropia. Methods: Clinical examination of three patients with infantile esotropia during presentation of optokinetic targets that periodically reverse their horizontal direction of movement. Results: When viewing a horizontally-rotating optokinetic drum under binocular viewing conditions, all patients spontaneously fixed with the eye exposed to nasalward optokinetic motion. When the horizontal direction of optokinetic target was reversed so that the contralateral eye was receiving nasalward optokinetic input, a spontaneous fixation shift occurred after 5-10 seconds. Conclusion: Peripheral monocular nasotemporal optokinetic asymmetry provides a stronger fixation stimulus than foveal proximity. Horizontal optokinetic asymmetry may underlie the phenomenon of crossed fixation in infantile esotropia. In infantile esotropia, both nasal retinas become frontally-directed, which restores bidirectional motion detection under binocular conditions. Purpose: Can we evaluate inferior oblique over-action in a better way? and how this can affect our surgical outcome? Methods: Thirty patients of horizontal strabismus with IOOA, but no extraocular muscle palsy, were included in our study. For fifteen patients, IOOA was determined by measuring the hypertropia of the adducting eye using vertical prisms during extreme dextroversion and levoversion. For the other fifteen patients, IOOA was measured using a computerized, Videoculographic monitoring system that is mounted over patient’s head (Gazelab machine). For the two groups, IOOA was graded as trace: 0-9 PD, Grade 1:10-19 PD, Grade 2:20-29 PD, Grade 3:30-39 PD, Grade 4:40 and above PD. Only patients with IOOA of 10 PD or more were operated for inferior oblique weakening procedure. patients were aged between 5 and 15 years where 10 were males and 20 were females. Results: For the first group, eight patients were qualified for unilateral inferior oblique overaction but on follow up, inferior oblique overaction was shown for five of the seven unilaterally weakened inferior oblique muscle, which required inferior oblique weakening for these patients, as a second stage procedure. For the second group, twelve of the patients were eligible for inferior oblique weakening procedure and on follow up non of the three unilaterally weakened inferior oblique muscle required further inferior oblique weakening procedure. Conclusion: Digitalizing our measuring technique for extraocular muscle deviation can provide us with a better preoperative assessment, surgical planning, postoperative evaluation and surgical outcome of our extraocular muscle interventions. 47 ABSTRACTS: FREE PAPERS 38 39 CHANGES IN CORNEAL TOPOGRAPHY AND REFRACTIVE ERROR AFTER VARIOUS EXTRAOCULAR MUSCLES SURGERY Akar, Serpil; Gokyigit, Birsen; Aygit, Ebru Demet; Pinarci, Eylem Yaman; Bayar, Sezin Akça; Oto, Sibel Baskent University, Medicine Faculty, Ophthalmology Department, Istanbul Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, TURKEY MAY MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING OF THE ORBIT PLAY A ROLE IN REFRACTORY STRABISMUS? Marcon, Giovanni B; Pittino, Raffaele Strabismological and Diplopia Centre, Bassano del Grappa, ITALY Purpose: To investigate the short-term effect of various extraocular muscles surgery on refractive error and corneal topography measurements. Method: Consecutive patients who underwent various extraocular muscles surgery from July 2013 to March 2015 were prospectively studied. In this study, 163 eyes of 151 patients were evaluated in 7 groups; (1) inferior oblique weakening, (2) medial rectus(MR) recession and lateral rectus resection(LR), (3) LR recession and MR resection, (4) LR recession, (4) MR recession and (5) MR recession and Faden operation surgery. Refractive error; corneal measurements and anterior chamber depth (Orb Scan II) were measured before and at 1 week and 1 month after surgery. Patients who could not maintain reliable fixation and those with sensory strabismus or a history of eye surgery were excluded. Pre- and postoperative measurements were compared by analysis of variance. Results: Overall, patients manifested statistically significant changes in spherical and cylindrical equivalent, mean simulated keratometry (Sim K) astigmatism value, mean corneal power at 3.0 mm and 5.0 mm zones, astigmatic power, irregularity values and anterior chamber depht at 1 week after surgery (P < 0.05). Changes became progressively smaller during the first month after surgery, although significant changes in cylindrical equivalent and corneal power at 3.0 mm and 5.0 mm zones persisted at 1 month. Conclusion: Extraocular muscle surgery resulted in short-term changes in refractive error and corneal measurement in this cohort. The etiology of the refractive change is unknown but could be due to alterations in muscle tension that affect corneal remodeling, segmental interruption of the ciliary body circulation affecting the lens curvature, postoperative tissue edema, and/or other postsurgical factors. The decrease in change after 1 month may be due to the effects of compensation by other quadrants of the eye or resolution of the surgical induced tissue damage. Change in the tension of 1 muscle produces a significant change in the entire corneal surface, which illustrates the interaction and interdependence all corneal positions have with respect to each other. Longer follow-up is necessary to ascertain clinical significance. 48 Purpose: to evaluate the usefulness of MR Imaging of the orbit and the extraocular muscles for exploring the underlying pathologic conditions in patients who did not benefit from strabismus surgery. Methods: Three patients, two with vertical deviation (one clinically suspected IV cranial nerve palsy, one suspected monocular elevation deficiency) operated by inferior rectus recession and one with horizontal deviation (clinically suspected myopic esotropia) operated by bimedial rectus recession didn’t benefit from surgery (no significant change in deviation). MR Imaging of the orbit by 1.5 Tesla scanner with head coil and fixation targets was performed post-operatively to clarify the diagnosis. Results: in these 3 patients MR Imaging of the orbit and of the extraocular muscles revealed supernumerary extraocular muscles that were responsible of the motility alteration. No further surgery was performed in these patients. Conclusions: MR Imaging of the orbit may play a role in identifying the underlying alteration when patients don’t benefit from surgery. It may also help in preventing further unnecessary surgery in selected cases. SATURDAY, 1ST OCTOBER 40 41 PEDIGREE ANALYSIS OF CONCOMITANT HORIZONTAL STRABISMUS IN NOTH INDIA Chaudhuri, Zia; John, Jibin; Aneja, Satinder; Thelma, B K Lady Hardinge Medical College & Associated Hospitals, University of Delhi, Department of Genetics, University of Delhi South Campus, PGIMER, Dr RML Hospital, New Delhi, INDIA PROFILE AND DISTRIBUTION OF STRABISMUS IN CRANIOSYSNOSTOSIS Chaudhuri, Zia; Puncholothu, Akila K; Sharma, Ajay Lady Hardinge Medical College & Associated Hospitals, University of Delhi, Department of Genetics, University of Delhi South Campus, PGIMER, Dr RML Hospital, New Delhi, INDIA Purpose: Familial inheritance of common forms of strabismus like esotropia and exotropia is noted, genetic components of which remain unidentified. The most significant finding so far has been localization of the recessive STBMS1 locus on chromosome 7p22.1. Recently next generation sequencing (NGS) technology has emerged as a powerful tool in discovery genomics and a large number of novel disease causing variants are being reported, particularly for monogenic disorders. In this study, we aimed to recruit informative families for subsequent genetic analysis for disease causing variant identification. Purpose: Craniosynostosis may give rise to strabismus due to heterotopy of extraocular muscle (EOM) pulleys, muscle force imbalance due to orbital dystopia and absent or anomalous EOMs. We aimed to study the profile and distribution of strabismus in craniosynostosis, to enable understanding of the pathogenesis of this condition, thus aiding management. Methods: All consecutive families with two or more affected subjects with strabismus were prospectively recruited at the ophthalmic outpatients department (OPD) of our institution from August 2014 to April 2016. Detailed phenotypic evaluation and pedigree documentation was performed. Results: Of the 26 recruited families of north Indian origin recruited, nine were purely exotropic and 17 were esotropic. While vertical transmission was observed in all families with exotropia, six with esotropia had affected members across one generation, two were consanguineous and two were twin families. Conclusions: Families with clear-cut mode of inheritance recruited in this study may provide a valuable resource to unravel the genetic determinants of this common disorder of early childhood, with high ophthalmic morbidity. Method: 53 patients (31 males) with craniosynostosis of average age 4.5 years at presentation were prospectively evaluated over a period of 24 months for the distribution and profile of associated strabismus. The cranial shapes were phenotypically classified as trigonocephaly (metopic suture stenosis, 13), brachycephaly (bicoronal and / or lambdoid suture stenosis, 20), scaphocephaly (sagittal suture stenosis, 9), plagiocephaly (unilateral coronal and / or lambdoid suture stenosis, 5) and oxycephaly (stenosis of coronal, lambdoid and sagittal suture producing a tower skull, 6). Results: 31/53 (58.5%) patients comprising all with plagiocephaly (5), none with trigonocephaly (13), 17/20 (85%) with brachycephaly, 6/9 (67%) with scaphocephaly and 3/6 (50%) with plagiocephaly had strabismus. This difference in distribution of strabismus in different types of craniosynostosis was significant (p< 0.005, chi-square). 27/31 (87%) patients demonstrated exodeviation associated with pattern strabismus (5), dissociated strabismus (1), nystagmus (1) and hyperdeviations (5, all patients with plagiocephaly) while 4 patients had esodeviation. Conclusion: The profile and distribution of strabismus in craniosynostosis indicates a neuroanatomical rather than neural basis. Preoperative high resolution orbital imaging could help localize the position of abnormally placed / absent EOMs, thus aiding customized sequential management comprising remodelling of skull shape, orbital dystopia and associated strabismus. 49 ABSTRACTS: FREE PAPERS 42 43 STRABISMUS INCIDENCE IN A DANISH POPULATION-BASED COHORT Torp-Pedersen, Tobias E; Boyd, Heather A; Skotte, Line; Haargaard, Birgitte; Wohlfahrt, Jan; Holmes, Jonathan M; Melbye, Mads Rigshospitalet Glostrup Dept. of Ophthalmology, DENMARK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH TOLERANCE OF PARTIAL SPECTACLE CORRECTION IN HYPEROPIC CHILDREN Del Porto, Lana; Hinds, Anne-Marie; Adams, Gillian Moorfields Eye Hospital Strabismus and Paediatrics, UNITED KINGDOM Objective: To determine incidence and age distrubtion of strabismus, overall and by subtype, in Danish children. Purpose: To compare the effect of spectacle correction in hyperopic children between full and partial spectacle correction of hyperopia and investigate the factors associated with tolerance of partial spectacle correction in hyperopic children. Design: Prospective population-based cohort study. Participants: 96,842 children in the Danish National Birth Cohort. Methods: Children from the Danish National Birth Cohort evaluated for strabismus were identified through national registers. Their ophthalmologic records were collected from hospital ophthalmology departments and ophthalmologists in private practice, and strabismus diagnoses were classified by orthoptists. Estimation of incidence was performed using survival analysis. Main results: Overall, 1,309 cases of strabismus were identified in a cohort of 96,842 children born in Denmark in the period 1996 to 2003. We found an overall cumulative strabismus incidence of 2.56% at age 7 years. The overall incidence was similar in boys and girls. The distribution of major strabismus subtypes was (percent of cases, n): congenital esotropia (16.5%, 216); fully accommodative esotropia (13.5%, 177); partially accommodative esotropia (19.3%, 252); exotropia (13.8%, 181). The esotropia:exotropia ratio was 5.4:1. Age-specific incidence curves for congenital esotropia, fully accommodative esotropia, partially accommodative esotropia, and all exotropia were of significantly different shapes, with median age at detection being 0.0, 32.0, 26.1, and 16.6 months, respectively, for the four subtypes. Conclusions: In a national, population-based cohort study, we found a cumulative incidence of strabismus of 256 cases per 10,000 children at age 7 and an esotropia:exotropia ratio of 5.4:1. The most prevalent subtype was partially accommodative esotropia, followed by congenital esotropia. The age-specific incidence curves for strabismus subtypes were significantly different, indicating etiological differences 50 Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed by a search of the hospital database of child patients with prescribing glasses more than 1.5D hyperopia. Patients were classified into two groups by cycloplegic refraction: 1) under-correction of hyperopia: at least more than 0.5 diopter from cycloplegic photorefraction, 2) full correction of hyperopia, according to two different practitioners. A total of 72 patients were followed at least 1 years. The main outcome measure was the comparison in spherical equivalent refractive errors of spectacle glasses in both groups after more than one year of follow-up with age at first visit, initial spherical equivalent refractive errors, strabismus, amblyopia, astigmatism, or anisometropia. Results: There was statistical significantly difference in the factors which can tolerate hyperopia reduction, like no anisometropia, hyperopia less than 4 D, or astigmatism less than 1 D. The linear regression analysis scatterplot indicated that initial spherical equivalent refraction errors were little correlation with hyperopia reduction rate in partial correction group. (n:36; r2:0.036; P value:0.304) and full correction group Conclusion: The partially corrected spectacle glasses may have benefit in patient with no anisometropia, less than 1 diopter astigmatigm, and less than 4diopter hyperopia in terms of tolerance of hyperopic reduction. SATURDAY, 1ST OCTOBER 44 MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTS IN A COMBINED THYROID EYE DISEASE CLINIC: CAN THE AMSTERDAM DECLARATION AIMS BE MET IN A SECONDARY CARE CENTRE? Quinn, Annika S; Benzimra, James; Dujardin, Leticia R; Quinn, Anthony G; Vaidya, Bijay Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital, UNITED KINGDOM Purpose: Early diagnosis & treatment of thyroid eye disease (TED) improves outcomes. Previous studies highlighted delays in diagnosis & referral to specialist centres. Amsterdam Declaration (2009) aims to halve time from presentation to diagnosis & diagnosis to referral to a centre of excellence. A recent study from EUGOGO tertiary centres suggests a trend for earlier referral (Perros, 2015). It is unknown whether similar improvements occur in secondary care hospitals. We studied trends in referral to a UK secondary care specialist TED clinic since Amsterdam Declaration. Methods: We previously audited our specialist TED clinic from 2004-8 (Benzimra, 2014). We prospectively re-audited TED clinic after Amsterdam Declaration (2010-15). We compared patient characteristics & time to referral. Results: During 2010-15, 129 patients were referred to clinic; 115 (89%) had TED (98 females, median age 55 yrs; range 13-88 yrs; 35 current smokers). Compared to 2004-8 cohort, current cohort had shorter duration of eye symptoms (median 5.5 vs 12 months) and larger proportion of patients with mild disease (EUGOGO severity score mild, moderate-to-severe and sight-threatening: 66%, 34% and 0 vs 52%, 45% and 3%; p-value=0.04). Recent cohort had clinical activity score (CAS) ≥3/7 (26% vs. 18% in 2004-8). 89 (77%) were biochemically euthyroid at first visit. 69 (60%) required follow-up appointments in the TED clinic; of these, 34 (49%) received either immunosuppressive or surgical treatment. 16 (40%) of current smokers either decreased or stopped smoking by last visit to clinic. Conclusion: Access to secondary care TED specialist clinic is improving since Amsterdam Declaration. 51 ABSTRACTS RAPID FIRE POSTERS ABSTRACTS: RAPID FIRE 01RFS 02RFS LIMBUS-INSERTION DISTANCE OF EXTRAOCULAR RECTUS MUSCLES USING SPECTRAL DOMAIN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY AND CORRELATION STUDY Rosario Gómez de Liaño Hospital Universitario San Carlos, Ophthalmology Motility Unit, Madrid, SPAIN OCULOMOTOR FINDINGS IN JOUBERT SYNDROME Gravier, Nicolas M.; Aubert-Brenugat, Valerie Polyclinique de l’Atlantique ophthalmology, FRANCE Purpose: to determine the insertion distance of the horizontal rectus muscles to the limbus using Spectral Domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and to evaluate whether there exists any correlation between the insertion distance and gender, age or axial length. Methods: Cross-sectional study of 187 right eyes of healthy subjects. The gender and age were collected, and axial length was measured using an optical biometer. SD-OCT images were used to measure the distance from the horizontal rectus insertion to the limbus. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the reproducibility of the measurements, and a multivariate model was adjusted to analyze whether gender, age and axial length could have an impact on insertion distance. Results: Mean age was 43.7 ±22.1 years (range 6-85); 69% were women. 25 patients were children. Mean axial length was 23.9 ±1.6 mm (range: 20.4-29.3). Mean rectus insertion distance to the limbus was 6.47 ±0.52 mm (range 5.2-7.6) for lateral rectus, and 5.22 ±0.51 mm (range 4.1-6.1) for medial rectus. ICC was >0.87 for intra and interobserver reproducibility, showing excellent agreement. The insertion-limbus distance was influenced by gender, being greater in men (P=0.040 for lateral rectus; P=0.036 for medial rectus). However, there was no correlation between this distance and axial length or age (P>0.156). Purpose: Joubert syndrome is a rare congenital malformation of the brainstem and cerebellar vermis. Diagnosis is based on clinical (hypotonia, breathing disorder, developmental delay) and neuroradiologic findings (cerebellar hypoplasia). Among ophthalmic problems, the aim of this presentation is to analyze eye movements anomalies. Methods: we analyze videos oculomotor features of 9 patients presenting a Joubert syndrome. Results: All patients had eye movement anomalies. 5 patients had an isolated saccades apraxia, 1 had a saccades apraxia associated with an esotropia, 2 had a see-saw nystagmus, 1 a jerk nystagmus. The origin of the oculomotor apraxia is not well known. A possible cause is a defect in the initiation of the quick phase of the optokinetic nystagmus. The origin of see-saw nystagmus may be a deficiency of crossed connections involving either visual pathways (chiasmatic anomalies), or neural structure in the brainstem that control eye movements (Interstitial Nucleus of Cajal) Conclusion: Characteristic eye movement disorders in Joubert syndrome are the oculomotor saccades apraxia and see-saw nystagmus. Conclusions: This study determined that SD-OCT is an effective technique in measuring the insertion distance of the horizontal rectus muscles to the limbus. The length of this distance was greater in men, however, age and axial length seem to be independent. 53 ABSTRACTS: RAPID FIRE 03RFS 04RFS THE EFFECT OF PREVIOUS ORBITAL RADIOTHERAPY ON RESULTS OF STRABISMUS SURGERY IN PATIENTS WITH THYROID EYE DISEASE Hyun Goo Kang, MD,1 Jong Bok Lee, MD,2 Jin Sook Yoon, MD,1 Sueng-Han Han, MD,1 Jinu Han, MD,1 1 Institute of Vision Research, Severance Hospital, Department of Ophthalmology, Yonsei University College of Medicine 2 Kong Eye Center RELIABILITY OF A NEW METHOD FOR MEASURING SINGLE VISUAL FIELD AND UNIOCULAR FIELDS OF FIXATION Alarcón Tomás, María; Gómez de Liaño Sanchez, Rosario; Dupré Peláez, Mauro; Garcia Garcia, Miguel Hospital Puerta de Hierro Majadahonda, SPAIN Purpose: To evaluate the effect of previous orbital radiotherapy on the success of strabismus surgery in patients with thyroid eye disease (TED). Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study with 40 healthy subjects to asses reliability of a modified Weiss screen to measure SVF and UFOF. Measurements were taken twice by the same observer and by two different observers in 8 of those patients to assess intraobserver and interobserver reproductibility. We also conducted a pilot study with nine of this patients to compare de modified screen with de Goldmann perimeter. Methods: The retrospective chart review of patients who underwent strabismus surgery for TED were conducted. Patients were divided into two group according to whether they had previously undergone radiotherapy. Success was defined as no diplopia in primary and downgaze. The effect of strabismus surgery on the amount of protopsis was also evaluated. Results: A total of 102 patients with TED were included. Among these, 26 (25.5%) patients had undergone orbital radiotherapy before strabismus surgery and 76 patients had not. The two groups did not differ in terms of the average angle of preoperative horizontal, vertical deviations, the average number of extraocular muscles that underwent surgery, and the average number of strabismus surgery. The postoperative exophthalmometric value decreased an average 0.2 mm in the radiotherapy group and 0.3 mm in the non-radiotherapy group. The success rate of the surgery was 88.5% in patients who had previous radiotherapy and 68.4% in patients who had not (P = 0.046). Conclusions: Previous orbital radiotherapy had significant effect on the outcomes of strabismus surgery in patients with TED. Therefore, radiotherapy should be considered in patients with TED who had diplopia. 54 Purpose: To evaluate the reliability of uniocular fields of fixation (UFOF) and single visual field (SVF) with a modified screen in healthy subjects. Results: Measurement were analyzed considering pairs of data by axis. Results for both eyes were comparable in vertical and horizontal axis. SVF and UFOF measurements had very high reproductibility interobserver and intraobserver with a CCI of 0.86 and 0.78. When comparing Goldmann versus modified screen we found a negative correlation between the tests with overestimation of measurements in Goldmann Conclusions: SVF is an important parameter when evaluating motility in patients with restriction and it correlates well with functionality and quality of life. Due to the fact that Goldmann perimeter is tending to disappear, new methods to assess SVF and UFOF are needed. The modified screen test is reliable, reproducible, easy to perform and does not require a trained technician. ABSTRACTS: RAPID FIRE 05RFS 06RFS THE PRISMPERISCOPE (PAT. PEND.) – A NEW ABDUCTOR FIXATION DEVICE PROTOTYPE – PROVIDES BETTER ACCESS FOR INSPECTION OF THE TEMPORAL FUNDUS IN CHILDREN WITH LARGE ANGLE ESOTROPIA Jon Peiter Saunte, Max Bonne Ophthalmology Department, Rigshospitalet, Glostrup, Copenhagen University Hospital, DENMARK RETINAL NERVE FIBRE LAYER AND MACULAR THICKNESSES IN ADULTS WITH HYPEROPIC ANISOMETROPIC AMBLYOPIA Yakar, Konuralp; Kan, Emrah; Alan, Aydın; Alp, Mehmet Hanifi; ceylan, tolga Ataturk State Hospital Ophthalmology, TURKEY Purpose: To demonstrate a new fixation device prototype to improve access for eye exam in small children or uncooperative adult patients. Methods: Presentation of the PrismPeriscopePat. Pend. (PP), a periscope with two mirrors and an integrated base-out prism. The patient is allowed to fixate through the handheld PP at a cartoon, thus the other eye is abducted and available for examination. PP can be used in front of both eyes alternatively, driving the nonfixation eye in abduction, and by holding the PP in a vertical position, the non-fixating eye is driven in up- or down-gaze; the superior or inferior part of fundus then available for examination. Results: The PP prototype was tested during 6 months in a clinical setting. In children or mentally disabled patients with large angle Esotropia (ET) it was proven helpful in the examination of the cornea and fundus, especially by allowing examination of the temporal part of retina in esotropic eyes, thus avoiding need for eye-exam under general anesthesia in 3 children. Conclusions: Examination of the anterior segment and fundus in children with large angle ET can be challenging. The invented prototype of PrismPeriscope provides better access for examination of anterior segment and fundus in these children, thus saving time in the clinic and in some cases avoiding further eye exams under general anesthesia. Purpose: The aim of this study to compare the macular and retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thicknesses and optic nerves of eyes with reducedvision due to anisometropia with the contralateral healthy eyes in adults using optical coherence tomography (OCT). Methods: Macular and RNFL thicknesses, optic nerve disc area,cup area, and horizontal vertical cup-to-disc ratios obtained using a NIDEK RS-3000 SLO spectral domain OCT device were compared between the amblyopic and fellow eyes in 30 adults with anisometropic amblyopia 18–55 years old who were seen in our clinic with unilateral poor vision. Results: The mean macular thickness was 266.90 ± 23.22 mm in the amblyopic eyes and 263.90 ±22.84 mm in the fellow eyes, and the mean RNFL thickness was 111.90 ± 12.9 and 109.70 ± 9.42 mm, respectively. The two thicknesses did not differ significantly between the amblyopic and fellow eyes. There were also no significant differences between the eyes in disc area, cup area, and horizontal-vertical cup/disc ratios. Conclusions: There does not seem to be a difference in macular thickness, peripapillary RNFL, or optic disc structures between the amblyopic and fellow eyes in adults. 55 ABSTRACTS: RAPID FIRE 07RFS HOLOGRAPHIC PRESENTATION: SEEKING PUBLICITY OR NEW OPPORTUNITIES OF A RESEARCH AND PRACTICE REPORT Plisov, Igor L.; Chernykh, Valeriy V.; Larionova, Yuliya A.; Vaulin, Michael A. S.N. Fyodorov IRTC “Eye Microsurgery” FSAI of the Ministry of Health Care of the Russian Federation, Novosibirsk, RUSSIA Purpose: To create a new format for a strabismological conference with the use of a holographic cube for a possibility of interactive participation of the speaker in the presentation. Methods: Successful attempt of presenting reports in a holocube became a peculiar feature of the conference which was held in November 2015 in Novosibirsk. Reports of Novosibirsk strabismologists were presented with elements of pseudo holographic animation and a possibility for the speakers to interactively participate in the demonstration of dynamic slides. Results: Out of 28 reports, 7 were presented in the format of holographic presentations with interactive participation of the speakers, 2 – only as holographic presentations. Other presentations were adjusted to the requirements of presentation demonstration in a holocube, 2 of them – in the online mode. The new demonstration format made it possible to represent anatomy and physiology of the oculomotor system in health and in disease in the form of 3D animation, to show diagnostic algorithms, symptoms and syndromes, to show particular aspects of surgery. The secret of novel conferencing was not revealed to the invited strabismologists and the audience till the conference started. But the online audience of the conference included 402 territorial centers from 19 towns in Russia and 5 other countries. The conference was assessed positively in 100% of comments. Conclusions: Successful holding of the conference with the use of a holographic cube was the first step to prospective creation of interactive presentations and academic programs with a possibility to manage those using gestures and 7D technologies. 56 ABSTRACTS: RAPID FIRE 08RFS STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF LANG 1 STEREO TEST FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF MICROESOTROPIA IN CHILDREN Piantanida, Andrea C.; Spera, Manuela; Nobili, Roberta; Gerosa, Giulia Centro Oculistico Lariano, ITALY Purpose: We have examined the most common and used test to detect microesotropia in daily practice: Lang I stereo-test. The aim of our study was to analyze it statistically to detect its real effectiveness. Methods: We considered 294 patients whose age range from 3 to15 years. Children less than 3 years of age were excluded from the study since it was not possible to detect any answer. All underwent a full orthoptic and ophthalmological examination. “Paliaga 8 diopters base- in test” was considered the “gold standard” diagnostic test. Results: Among all the patients, 269 ( 91.5%) were considered normal (without strabismus) and 25 (8,5%) were considered affected (whit strabismus). The authors founded a specificity of 99% and a sensitivity of 85%. We could also calculate the positive predictive value (92%) and the negative predictive value (99%) of the test. Likelihood ratio was detected to evaluate the efficacy of the tests in daily practice and it corresponds to 85,19. Conclusions: Lang I stereo-test is a simple test whit a high specificity and a good sensitivity. Positive and negative predictive values correspond to a test with a good reliability in young children. Likelihood ratio stress the importance of Lang I stereo test in diagnosing microesotropia in children elder than 3 years. We stress the importance to involve children aged more than three to have a good reliability of this test in practice to detect microesotropic patients. Younger children should be monitored with other tests with good statistical evaluation according to age. 57 ABSTRACTS: RAPID FIRE 09RFS 10RFS CORRELATION BETWEEN AGE OF ONSET OF DIPLOPIA AND CAG-REPEATS IN PATIENTS WITH SPINO CEREBELLAR DEGENERATION TYPE 3 (SCA3) Pott, Jan Willem R; Wasmann, Rosemarie A; Olie, Lisette; Rijpman, Kristie; de Vries, Jeroen J University Medical Centre Groningen Ophthalmology, NETHERLANDS PEDIATRIC STRABISMUS: PRIMARY CARE REFERRAL EFFICACY, EPIDEMIOOGY AND PROGNOSIS IN A PORTUGUESE TERTIARY REFERRAL CENTER Coelho, João; Lages, Vânia; Carneiro, Inês; Miranda, Vasco; Parreira, Ricardo; Menéres, Pedro Department of Ophthalmology - Centro Hospitalar do Porto, PORTUGAL Purpose: About half of the patients with SCA3 will develop diplopia due to divergence paralyses. SCA3 is a dominantly inherited cerebellar ataxia. Patients have a CAG repeat expansions in the ataxin-3 gene. There is a strong correlation between the number of CAG repeats in the gene and neurological disease severity and disease onset. We examined if there was a correlation between CAG repeats and onset of diplopia in patients with SCA3. Purpose: to characterize the strabismus subtypes, age of diagnosis, associated amblyogenic factors and prevalence of amblyopia in children referred to a tertiary referral center in Porto – Portugal. Methods: The age of onset of diplopia in 44 patients with SCA3 was retrospectively determined from medical records. Diagnosis of SCA3 was confirmed in all patients by genetic testing. Pearson’s correlation was calculated. Results: The mean onset of neurological symptoms in the 44 SCA3 patients was 38.2 years (range 16-55yrs). The mean onset of diplopia was 43.8 years (range 21-67yrs). The CAG repeats of SCA3 patients with diplopia ranged between 61 and 77 repeats (median 68 repeats). There was a strong correlation between the number of CAG repeats and age of onset of neurological symptoms (r = -0,742) and onset of diplopia (r = -0,546). Conclusions: There is a strong correlation between number of CAG repeats and age of onset of diplopia in SCA3 patients. This strong genotype/phenotype correlation implies that the neurodegenerative processes in SCA3 are directly involved in the cause of divergence paralysis type of diplopia. 58 Methods: Retrospective review of the medical files of patients with 10 years or less referred to the pediatric ophthalmology consult for the first time between July 2011 and February 2013. RESULTS: A total of 1205 patients were referred during this period. 379 (31,5%) were referred for strabismus, which was diagnosed in only 143 (37,7%) children. 51 patients referred for other motives were also diagnosed with strabismus (25% of all strabismus patients). No gender differences were noted. The mean age of diagnosis was 54 months. 54,1% of pediatric strabismus cases presented with esotropia, 30.9% with exotropia and 15,0% of deviations were associated with vertical or horizontal syndromes. Amblyopia was present in 24.7% of children with strabismus and classified as strabismic amblyopia in 37,5%. The prevalence of potentially amblyogenic refractive errors was 28,8%. 20.1% of strabismus patients were submitted to surgery. Conclusions: Strabismus is a diagnostic challenge in children. An early screening and referral by primary health care providers is essential in order to adequately treat strabismus and the frequently associated amblyopia. The fact that one fourth of all diagnosis were not referred due to strabismus, the late age of diagnosis, the high prevalence of amblyopia and the low prevalence of divergent squints indicate a need to improve primary care referral efficacy. ABSTRACTS: RAPID FIRE 11RFS 12RFS MACHADO-JOSEPH DISEASE Dias, David A; Menéres, Pedro; Miranda, Vasco; Parreira, Ricardo Centro Hospitalar do Porto, PORTUGAL STRABISMUS AND BINOCULAR SUMMATION IN PEDIATRIC POPULATION SKUNCA HEMAN, JELENA; Malenica Ravlic, Maja; Tadic, Raseljka; Lovric, Tena; Vatavuk, Zoran KBC SESTRE MILOSRDNICE, CROATIA Purpose: Machado–Joseph disease, also known as Machado– Joseph Azorean disease or Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3, is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease that causes progressive cerebellar ataxia, which results in a lack of muscle control and coordination of the upper and lower extremities and may present with ophthalmologic symptoms like involuntary eye movements, diplopia or ophthalmoplegia. The authors aim to describe a clinical case of a patient with Machado–Joseph disease followed in Ophthalmologic consultation. Methods: Clinical case followed in Ophthalmologic consultation between 2011 and 2015 Results: 46-year-old female patient diagnosed with MachadoJoseph disease followed in Neurologic consultation since 2005. In 2010 she presents with diplopia and is referred to an ophthalmologic consultation in 2011. Ophthalmologic examination revealed: an esotropia of 10 prism dioptres (PD) at distance fixation and an exotropia of 6 PD at near fixation (greater in supraversion); little fusional amplitude; nystagmus in dextro and levoversion; best corrected visual acuity was 10/10 in both eyes (refraction: OD -1.00; OE -0.75); no morphologic abnormalities were found at biomicroscopy and fundoscopic examination. Spectacles correction with 4+4 PD base out in each eye, for distance fixation, and 2+2 PD base out, for reading, were prescribed. Since, the patient has remained stable. Results from optical coherence tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and synoptophore will be displayed. Conclusions: It is important for the ophthalmologist to be familiarized with some rare pathologies that may have ophthalmologic symptoms Purpose: To characterize the relationship between strabismus and binocular summation (BiS) in pediatric subjects. Methods: This prospective study included 10 esotropic, 10 exotropic, 10 esophoric, 10 exophoric and 30 age-matched control subjects. Participants were recruited from the office if they were diagnosed as having horizontal latent or manifest strabismus without amblyopia. Exclusion criteria included age younger than 6 or older than 16 years, current amblyopia or any other eye or neurologic disease. Age-matched control participants were included only if they had no history of eye disease other than refractive error. A BiS score was measured using Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study (ETDRS) high contrast visual acuity protocol, ETDRS lowcontrast acuity (2.2% and 1.1% contrast levels) and Pelli-Robson contrast sensitivity chart for each eye individually and binocularly. BiS was calculated as the ratio between binocular and better-eye individual scores. Binocular alignment was measured at near and distance using cover/uncover and alternate prism cover testing. Results: 70 subjects were examined with age range, 6-16 years and no gender predominance. There was no difference between groups in BiS for high contrast visual acuity, for low-contrast acuity at level of 2.2% (p>0.05) and Pelli-Robson contrast sensitivity. They showed a mean BiS ratio of 1 or greater, indicating binocular summation. Mean BiS was significantly lower in the manifest strabismic patients than control for low-contrast acuity at level of 1.1% (p<0.05). Conclusions: Manifest strabismus is associated with diminished BiS for low-contrast acuity charts at level of 1.1% in pediatric subjects without amblyopia. 59 ABSTRACTS POSTERS ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P01 P02 ENDOTHELIAL CELL DENSITY FOLLOWING EXTRAOCULAR MUSCLE SURGERY Akar, Serpil; Gokyigit, Birsen; Kirandi, Ece; Bayar, Sezin Akca; Oto, Sibel Baskent University, Medicine Faculty, Ophthalmology Department, Istanbul Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, TURKEY OUTCOMES OF 3 HOURS PART-TIME OCCLUSION TREATMENT COMBINED WITH NEAR ACTIVITIES AMONG CHILDREN WITH UNILATERAL AMBLYOPIA Alotaibi, Abdullah; Fawazi, Samah M.; Alenazy, Badriah R; Abu-Amero, Khaled K King Saud University, SAUDI ARABIA Purpose: The aim of this study was to report the effect of eye muscle surgery on the oxygen supply of the anterior segment of the eye by determination of the corneal endothelial cell density. Objectives: To evaluate the outcome of part-time occlusion therapy with or without near activities in monocular amblyopic patients. Methods: We investigated preoperative and postoperative corneal endothelial cell density of 129 cases underwent extraocular muscle surgery. They had primary surgery on two horizontal recti muscles (49 cases), primary surgery on one horizontal recti muscle(46 cases), primary surgery on two vertical recti muscles (16 cases) and revision surgery on two horizontal recti muscles of one eye (18 cases). Mean age at surgery was 32.8 +/- 13.3 (15 to 71) years. Mean follow-up time 6.1 +/- 2.2 (3 to 14) months. The quantification of the corneal endothelial cell density was carried out with the specular microscope (KONAN Cellcheck CC-7000; KONAN Medical, Inc., Hyogo, Japan). Results: In all eyes no significant difference in pre- and postoperative corneal endothelial cell density was encountered: 2399 cell/mm2 vs. 2375 cell/mm2 (p=0.795). In addition,there was no difference in the subgroup of revision surgery and primary surgery on two vertical recti muscles: (p=0.677, p=0.206). Conclusion: On the basis of corneal endothelial cell density there was no indication of a chronically decreased oxygen supply of the anterior segment after eye muscle surgery. Methods: One hundred and thirty patients who prescribed daily occlusion therapy (part-time occlusion) were followed-up for 12 weeks period. Original Articles The study was carried out in the Pediatric Ophthalmology and Orthoptics Clinics of King Abdul-Aziz University Hospital, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the period from January 2010 to November 2010. Sixty-five patients were recommended to do the 3 hours of near visual activities (such as reading a book during patching) while the other 65 patients were not advised to do any near activity. Main outcome measures were best corrected visual acuity (VA) for both groups and line improvement. Results:The total line of VA improvement from baseline by an average of 6.7 ± 2.37 line log MAR (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) unit in the group of patching with near activities and by average of 5.3 ± 2.04 line log MAR, unit in the group of patching without near activities. All type of amblyopia (strabismic, anisometropic, and mixed type of amblyopia) has improved significantly after patching with near activities. Both moderate and severe amblyopia has improved significantly in the group of near activities compared to the group without near activities. Conclusion: Performing near activities while patching in treatment of anisometropic, stabismic, or combined amblyopia improves the VA outcome more than patching alone. 61 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P03 P04 EFFECT OF ROLIPRAM ON VISUAL CORTICAL PLASTICITY AND BEHAVIORAL EFFECT ON VISION, SPATIAL AND VISUAL MEMORY IN AMBLYOPIA MODEL IN ADULT RATS Altintas, Ozgul; Celik, Onur Sinan; Eraldemir, Fatma Ceyla; Mutlu, Oguz; Kum, Tugba Acibadem University Department of Ophthalmology, TURKEY SUCCESS OF STRABISMUS SURGERY IN ADULT PATIENTS Atalay, Hatice T.; Özsaygılı, Cemal; C Özmen, Mehmet; Yüksel, Erdem; Bilgihan, Kamil Gazi University School of Medicine Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, TURKEY Purpose: To investigate the effects of rolipram, on the visual cortical plasticity, vision, spatial and visual memory in adult, monocularly deprived rats. Methods: A total of 60 Wistar-Albino type male rates were involved in the study .We subjected half of the rats to a monocular deprivation (MD) model at postnatal day 21 until postnatal day 45. Animals divided into the groups as;control group,amblyop group,control+vehicle group,amblyop+vehicle group,control+rolipram group,amblyop+rolipram group.Rolipram and vehicle applied intraperitoneally. For behavioral testing we used; Elevated Plus Maze Test, Morris Water Maze Test, New Object Recognition Test, Evaluation of locomotor activity and anxiety test. BDNF and CREB levels in visual cortex were studied by ELISA method after decapitation. Results: İn Morris water maze test; at the end of 4th session, escape latency was significantly shortened in amblyopic+rolipram group compared to amblyopic group alone .During blank trial which was performed at 6th day,ıt was observed that time spent in platform quadrant was significantly extended in amblyopic+rolipram group compared to amblyopic group alone.Mean distance to platform was significantly decreased in amblyopic+rolipram group when compared to amblyopic group alone. Ratio index was significantly increased in amblyopic+rolipram group compared to amblyopic group alone.It was observed that rolipram treatment reversed the BDNF decrease in amblyopic group.When CREB results were assessed, treatment almost reversed the decrease in amblyopic group to the control level; but, this result could not reach to statistically significance. Conclusions: We observed that rolipram provided a biochemical and behavioral improvement on vision in adult, monocular-deprived rats. 62 Introduction: A common misconception among patients and ophthalmologists has been that strabismus in adults is difficult or impossible to treat surgically, and that strabismus surgery will not yield improvement of visual function or symptoms in adults with strabismus. We investigated the success of strabismus surgery in our visually mature (age ≥ 9 years) patients. Methods: The medical records of all patients of age ≥ 9 years between January 2012 and April 2015 were reviewed. Pre and postoperative diplopia, stereopsis, deviation measurements and complications of patients which undergone strabismus surgery were recorded. The surgical success was defined as less than 10 PD horizontally and less than 5 PD vertically. Results: 117 patients were enrolled. 89 of 117 patients undergone surgery. The mean age of the patients was 24.3 ± 15.7 (9-83) years. The mean follow-up duration was 11.5 months. In 77 of 89 cases (86.5%) the surgery was successful. No complications were noted apart from the two cases of scleral penetration. 23 of 26 patients who had diplopia preoperatively (88.5%) had no diplopia in postoperative period. The mean stereopsis was 489 sec of arc in the preoperatively and improved to 470 sec of arc after surgery. Discussion: In patients who had completed visual maturation, strabismus surgery improves motor alignment, eliminates diplopia and provides some level of improvement in binocularity depending on the age of onset or the strabismus. Conclusion: Surgical treatment of adults with strabismus is safe and effective. ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P05 P06 MANAGEMENT OF DUANE RETRACTION SYNDROME WITH PRISMATIC GLASSES AYGIT, EBRU DEMET; KOCAMAZ, MURAT; İNAL, ASLI; GÖKYİGİT, BİRSEN; TASKAPILI, MUHITTIN Beyoglu Eye Training and Research Hospital STRABİSMUS, TURKEY NEW TECHNOLOGY OF POSTOPERATIVE FUSION REHABILITATION IN PATIENTS WITH CONGENITAL STRABISMUS Aznauryan, Igor; Balasanyan, Victoria; Aznauryan, Erik; Agagulyan, Satenik Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology Clinics, RUSSIA Purpose: To report the results of using prismatic glasses for Duane retraction syndrome (DRS). We studied the results of management with prismatic lenses in DRS patients. Purpose: to estimate efficiency of the sensory fusion recovery using LCD glasses with electronically controlled intermittent occlusion. Methods: Data were obtained from the records of patients who were evaluated during 2000 in the Strabismus Department of Beyoglu Eye Training and Research Hospital. The average follow-up was 12.2 ± 17.7 months. In all cases, two main variables were evaluated: horizontal deviation in the primary position and face turn. Prismatic glasses were provided to patients according to the degree of shift in the primary position. Results: The mean age of patients was 11.2 years. An analysis was performed on the data collected from 12 cases; 7 patients were females (58.3%) and 5 were males (41.7%). 11 (91.7%) cases were type I DRS. All 12 patients had abnormal head posture (face turn) and an angle of mean deviation 10 PD (prism dioptri) in two cases. After the 3-month ocular misalignment eliminated with prismatic glasses in 2 patients and abnormal head posture disappeared completely in five patients (41.7%). Conclusion: Treatment is individualized on a case-by-case basis. Prismatic glasses are useful for eliminating abnormal head posture and ocular misalignment in selected cases with DRS patients. Keywords: Duane retraction syndrome, abnormal head posture, strabismus, treatment with prismatic glasses Methods: There were retrospectively analyzed 41 cards of patients with no sensory fusion who wear LCD glasses. The average age of the patients was 5,7 ± 1,9. All patients have hyperopic refraction. 5 patients (12.2%) have corrected visual acuity from 0.1 to 0.4 (in worse seeing eye), 11 patients (26.8%) from 0.5 to 0.7, 22 patients (53.7%) from 0.8 to 1.0, and in 3 patients (7.3%) visual acuity could not be verified due to the young age. All patients before wearing glasses have been operated for esotropia. Patients wear the glasses with optimal correction for 8 hours per day. The first group of 14 patients (34.15%) was under observation 12 months, the second group of 8 patients (19.5%) - 9 months. 1 patient (2.44%) was followed up 6 months, 4 patients (9.76%) - 3 months. 14 patients (34.15%) were under observation less than 3 months. Results: Sensor fusion has recovered at 12 patients in the first group (85.7%) and at all patients in the second group (100%). Binocular vision has recovered at 5 patients (33.3%) in the first group, and at 2 patients (25.0%) in the second group. Conclusion: LCD glasses is an effective mean of recovering sensory fusion and binocular function in patients with operated esotropia. 63 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P07 P08 DETERMINATION OF CYCLOPLEGIC REFRACTION OF CHILDREN BY RETINOSCOPY AND REFRACTOMETER PLUSOPTIXA09® UNDER ATROPIN OR CYCLOPENTOLATE INDUCED CYCLOPLEGIA Berkes, Szilvia University of Szeged Department of Ophthalmology, HUNGARY AK/A RATIO, FUSION AND STEREOVISION IN PATIENTS WITH CONSTANT AND INTERMITTENT DIVERGENT STRABISMUS Boichuk, Iryna M.; Aloui, Tarak Filatov Institute of Eye Diseases and Tissue therapy Lab. of Binocular Vision disorders, UKRAINE Purpose: Due to obligate cycloplegia and lacking cooperation, the measurement of the refractive error in pediatric population is still challenging. Using hand-held refractometer, both the required time and the disturbing, accommodative stimuli can be reduced significantly. Aim: To compare the data obtained from standard retinoscopy and Plusoptix A09® hand-held refractometer. Methods: 40 children (age range: 1-15 years) were enlisted in the comparative analysis. The cycloplegia was induced applying either atropine 0.5% for patients aged 1 to 7 years (Group ”A”, n=21) or cyclopentolate 0.5% (Humapent®) for patients between 4 and 15 years of age (Group “H”, n=19). Refractions were determined by both traditional retinoscopy and Plusoptix A09® refractometer and the differences were calculated accordingly. Results: Spherical equivalent values measured by retinoscopy in groups “A” and “H” were +2.7 ± 1.8 D and +1.4 ± 2.0 D, respectively. Although in Group “A” the mean difference between the refractometer’s results from the retinoscopic values was moderate (+0.2 D), their standard deviation was still high (± 0.8 D). In contrast, in Group “H” the values measured by autorefractometry exceeded those determined by retinoscopy (+0.6 D ± 0.8 D; p = 0.11) in general, but the differences proved not to be significant (p=0.11). It must be noted that the differences between retinoscopic and refractometric values showed correlation between right and left eyes individually (Group “A”, r = 0.72; Group “H”, r = 0.77). Conclusions: The measured differences between retinoscopy and Plusoptix A09® do not enable Plusoptix A09® to be a standalone alternative of traditional retinoscopy. Following cyclopentolateinduced cycloplegia, the observed lower dioptric values of glasscorrections determined by retinoscopy emerge the possibility of an incomplete cycloplegic effect of cyclopentolate. 64 Purpose: To determine AK/A ratio, fusion and stereovision in patients with constant and intermittent divergent strabismus. Material and methods: 59 patients (33 with constant – I and 26 with intermittent exotropia – II) 10-21 y.o. were observed. Angle of deviation for far and near distance in both groups was as following: in the I (36,6 ± 2,8 and 16,6 ± 2,5) dptrs and (26,6 ± 2,8 and 12,0± 2,3) dptrs in the II group, p>0,05. In addition to conventional eye examination the nearest point of convergence using proximetry, AK/A ratio by the method of heterophoria, fusional reserves by synoptophore and stereovision for near by test Lang II stereotest for far distance by Huvitz CCP 3100 were determined in patients/ Results: It was found that in cases with the permanent form of strabismus low values of AK/A are more common (53,5%) than in intermittent (38%). Fusion is significantly more common in patients of II group (II) of divergent strabismus (53,8%) in comparison with the I (24,4%), p=0.001. Only 25% of patients showed stereoacuity for near (200 - 600 arc sec) and 75% did not show stereovision in the II group. No stereovision was determined in the I group. Values of convergence correlated with AK/A ratio (r=0,87) Conclusion: It was established that patients with intermittent form of exophoria has low values of AK/A (53,5%) which may be associated with weakness of accommodative convergence in these patients. Fusion is significantly more common in patients with intermittent form of divergent strabismus (53,8%) in comparison with a constant (24,4%),p=0.001. Only 25% of patients of II group showed stereoacuity for near (200 - 600 arc sec). ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P09 P10 OCULOMOTOR AND OTHER OF OPHTHALMIC DISORDERS IN CHILDREN WITH OCULOCUTANEOUS ALBINISM Carneiro, Inês; Malheiro, Luisa; Maia, Sofia; Miranda, Vasco; Parreira, Ricardo; Menéres, Pedro Hospital Santo António - Centro Hospitalar do Porto, PORTUGAL OCULAR MANIFESTATIONS IN BOTULISM – CASE REPORT Casal, Inês; Maia, Sofia; Miranda, Vasco; Parreira, Ricardo; Garrido, Cristina; Menéres, Pedro Centro Hospitalar do Porto, PORTUGAL Purpose: Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) comprises a group of heterogeneous disorders of melanin synthesis that cause various ocular alterations and remarkable visual morbidity. This study aims to evaluate the spectrum of oculomotor and visual disorders in children with OCA. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive review of all children with OCA referred to a low vision clinic in a tertiary hospital, between November 2014 and April 2016. Demographic and ophthalmological examination data were obtained from each patient. Results: The group of patients (n = 8, 6 males), included 3 children with Hermansky Pudlak syndrome. The mean age was 14.75 years (range 9-17 years). Both refractive and non-refractive ophthalmic disorders were present in 100% of patients. All patients had a decreased best corrected visual acuity (mean: 20/100). Non-refractive disorders included sensorial infantile nystagmus syndrome, iris transillumination, retinal pigment epithelium hypopigmentation and foveal aplasia / hypoplasia in 100% of cases. Almost 88% had associated strabismus (50% with esotropia, 37.5% with exotropia, and 50% had coexistent alphabetic patterns). Severe photophobia requiring chromatic filters was present in 50% of cases. Anomalous head position was present in 37.5% of all patients. Clinically significant ametropias were present in 87.5% (50% with myopic astigmatism and 37.5% with hypermetropic astigmatism) but only 12.5% had a significant anisometropia. Approximately 38% already had intraocular hypertension but none had yet developed glaucomatous optic neuropathy. Purpose: to present the case of an adolescent with Botulism B and ophthalmoparesis. Methods: clinical case description. Results: 14 year-old female admitted to paediatric department with diarrhea, abdominal pain, diplopia with right eye abduction deficit, photophobia with bilateral mydriasis, no pupillary light contraction and no accommodation. Remaining neurological examination was normal. Blood tests were negative for inflammatory and infectious diseases; lumbar puncture showed no alterations and head-brain CT scan showed sinusitis. On the 3rd day she presented with worsening fatigue, diplopia and pain on extreme gaze positions, asymmetric facial movements, imbalance and ataxia - methylprednisolone was initiated. On the 5th day best corrected visual acuity was 10/10 bilaterally (far) and Jaeger 5 (near); horizontal and vertical diplopia were present as well as 4 rectus muscle and inferior oblique paresis of the right eye, superior and lateral rectus paresis of the left eye and right eye superior eyelid ptosis. MRI; Electromyography and nerve-conduction study were normal. Test for botulinum toxin was positive for Toxin B and antitoxin was administered. Progressive improvement was noted and 4 months after antitoxin she had no diplopia in primary position of gaze, diplopia in latero and inferoversions, and no pupillary light contraction. Conclusions: Botulism diagnosis is difficult and often confused with acute gastroenteritis, poisoning, myasthenia gravis, GuillainBarre syndrome/Miller-Fisher like, among others. In the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms with intraocular and extraocular ophthalmoplegias, botulism should be suspected. Conclusions: Oculomotor and refractive disorders are extremely prevalent in OCA. Strabismus and nystagmus management, refractive correction, photophobia minimization and glaucoma screening are essential to improve the visual prognosis of these patients. 65 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P11 THE ASSOCIATION OF EPIBULBAR DERMOID AND TYPE 1 DUANE SYNDOME IN A PATIENT WITH GOLDENHAR SYNDROME: A CLINICAL CASE REPORT Celik, Tuba Bulent Ecevit University Faculty of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology, TURKEY Goldenhar Syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly involving defective development of the structures derived from the first and second branchial arch. Duane Retraction Syndrome is a congenital strabismus syndrome occurring in isolated or syndromic forms. Type I duane syndrome is a congenital ocular motility disorder characterized by limitation of abduction with normal adduction accounts for 85% of all Duane Retraction Syndrome cases. Here we reported a case of Goldenhar Syndrome in a 12 year-old male patient with the features of accessory tragus, preauricular apendages and epibulbar dermoid with the association of Type I Duane Syndrome. The patient admitted with complaint of left sided swelling of bulbar conjunctiva since birth. The swelling had increased minimally for a few years. On examination, right sided preauricular appendages along the line joining the tragus and the angle of the mouth and lateral cleft-like extension of right corner of the mouth was noted. (Figure 1-2) The oral cavity examination revealed normal. Ocular examination demonstrated the presence of pink-yellowish region on the lower temporal aspect of the right bulbar conjunctiva and yellowish, hairy, soft dermoid with 6 mm x10 mm size on the lower temporal aspect of the left bulbar conjunctiva. (Figure 3) Extra ocular movements of left eye showed limitation of abduction and normal adduction. (Figure 4) The right eye did not constitute any ocular motility disorder. Refractive status, fundus examination and intraocular pressure of the both eyes were normal.The patient was underwent surgery for excision of the mass. It was observed that the posterior extension of the fatty mass has no adherence with the lateral rectus muscle. Histolo¬gical examination of the mass confirmed the diagnosis an epibulbar dermoid. The patient’s mental and physical development was normal. He had no deafness and any acoustic problems. There were no associate anomalies of the vertebra. We diagnosed the patient as a case of GS on the basis of accessory tragus, preauricular appendages, epibulbar dermoid and type I DS. Genetic consultation of the patient was suggested. A multidisciplinary approach is required to manage the associated anomalies. Reconstruction surgeries can be done for the anomalies of eyes, ears, cleft palate and mandibular hypoplasia. Epibulbar dermoids should be surgically excised. Children with DS should have eye examination to treat the refractive error or ambliyopia. The prognosis of GS is generally good in exception of any systemic associations as heart defects. 66 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P12 P13 OUTCOMES AFTER THE SURGERY FOR ACQUIRED NONACCOMMODATIVE ESOTROPIA Dong Gyu, Choi; Moon, Nam Ju; Kim, Eunbi Kangnam Sacred Heart Hospital, College of Medicine Hallym University Department of Ophthalmology, SOUTH KOREA ADHD AND CONVERGENCE INSUFFICIENCYDOES A CONNECTION REALLY EXIST Dawidowsky, Barbara; Klobučar, Aleksandra Children’s Hospital Zagreb Dpt of neurosurgery, otorhynolaryngology and ophthalmology, CROATIA Purpose: To analyze the surgical outcomes for patients diagnosed with acquired nonaccommodative esotropia (ANAET) Aim: to evaluate the relationship between CI (convergence insufficiency) and children diagnosed with ADHD. To estimate the improvement of convergence and binocular vision after orthoptic treatment as well as improvement of simptoms of ADHD. Design: Retrospective, cohort study Methods: In this study, the medical records of 39 patients who had undergone for ANAET surgery with a postoperative follow-up period of 6 months or more were reviewed. The main outcome measures were postoperative esodeviation angle, final success rate, and factors affecting surgical outcome (sex, age at onset, age at surgery, refractive error, symptom duration, amblyopia, stereopsis, dominance of fixation, accompanying strabismus, preoperative follow-up period, and type of surgery). Surgical success was considered to be an alignment within 10 prism diopters (PD). Results: The mean postoperative follow-up period was 58.1 ± 58.9 months (6-201 months). The preoperative mean esodeviation angles were 36.5 ± 13.4 PD at far and 37.9 ± 16.6 PD at near. The postoperative mean esodeviation angles at far were as follows: 3.9 PD at 1 day, 4.4 PD at 1 month, 4.2 PD at 3 months, 5.1 PD at 6 months, 4.6 PD at 1 year, and 5.3 PD at final follow-up. There was no statistically significant difference in angle of esodeviation between the initial postoperative period (1 day to 6 months) and the final follow-up day (p>0.05). The surgical success rate at final follow-up was 71.8% (28/39). Among the 11 patients for whom the surgery failed, 8 (20.5%) showed esotropia and 3 (7.7%) exotropia of more than 10 PD. Seven patients (18.0%) underwent reoperation (5 for esotropia and 2 for exotropia). Among the affecting factors, only dissociated vertical deviation (DVD) possibly influenced surgical success. Conclusion: The surgical outcome in patients with ANAET was relatively favorable: the final success rate was 71.8%, and DVD was the only possible affecting factor. Patients and methods: 60 children with ADHD ( diagnosed by children psychiatrist with DSM V classification) underwent a detailed ophthalmologic exam as part of their evaluation. We noticed that children diagnosed with ADHD had a high incidence of convergence insufficiency and problems with maintaining binocular vision at near. The symptoms of these two conditions can overlap and both can interfere with reading and learning abilities. Children often suffer of disturbance in reading and writing, frontal headaches, short attention span, blurred and double vision, pain in periocular region, red eyes and double vision. Our main aim is to evaluate the relationship between ADHD and CI, measure CI and binocular vision before and after the treatment and state whether improving convergence in patients with ADHD simultaneously improves their symptoms in working at near. Results: almost all of the ADHD patients ( 86%) had convergence insufficiency and troubles with maintaining binocular vision. After orthoptic therapy combined of home exercises and office based therapy at synoptophore, significant improvement in convergence and binocular vision has been noted, as well as improvement in working at near distance and reading abilities (estimated by questionnaire given to parents and children before and after the therapy). Conclusion: further investigation of attention degree is needed to evaluate the exact impact of improved convergence and binocularity on the level of attention 67 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P14 A CASE OF MONOCULAR ELEVATION DEFICIENCY TREATED BY INNERVATIONAL SURGERY ON THE YOLK MUSCLES OF THE SOUND EYE Eltoukhi, Elsayed Mohamed; Ismail, Mohamed Research Institute of Ophthalmology Pediatric Ophthalmology and strabismus, EGYPT 4 year old girl presented by left monocular elevation deficiency .

We present a series of five patients with this condition and compare signs, symptoms and management. We highlight the need for specific assessment of ocular motility in order to manifest the features of this condition. Methods: Patients diagnosed with ocular neuromyotonia between 2008 and 2015 were identified from orthoptic databases. Case notes and clinical correspondence were retrospectively reviewed. Results: Four females and one male with ocular neuromyotonia were identified with a mean±SD presenting age of 51±14 years. 80% of cases had received previous radiotherapy, 60% had received previous chemotherapy and 60% were hypothyroid. 80% presented with intermittent diplopia and 20% with intermittent blurring. Ocular neuromyotonia was seen in: four lateral recti; two medial recti and one superior oblique muscle. The neuromyotonia was always initiated by eye movement away from primary position; in 60% of cases it was only seen if eccentric gaze was sustained. Carbamazepine was effective in two patients and Gabapentin was effective in one patient. Conclusion: Ocular neuromyotonia should be considered as a differential diagnosis for patients presenting with recurrent, transient diplopia, especially when there is a history of radiotherapy. When the diagnosis is being considered, it is vital to sustain eccentric gaze on ocular motility testing to manifest the neuromyotonia. Purpose: To determine the frequency of abnormal head position (AHP) in patients presented to an ophthalmology clinic for any ophthalmological complaint and to identify the underlying causes. Methods: Medical records of the patients presented with any ophthalmological symptoms for 6-month period were prospectively evaluated. Two thousand seven hundred and ten patients (1492 female, 1218 male) aged between 6 months to 91 years were included in the study. Each patient underwent complete ophthalmologic evaluation including orthoptic examination. Results: Of the 2710 patients, 30 (1.1%) (7 female, 23 male) had AHP. The mean age was 14.62±17.45 (6 months to 60 years) years. Twenty four (80%) patients were younger than 16 years. Initial complaint was ocular misalignment in 18 (60%) patients, AHP in 4 (13.3%) patients, abnormal ocular movements in 4 (13.3%) patients, double vision in 3 (10%) patients, droppy eyelid in 1 (3.3%) patient. Comitant strabismus, nystagmus, Duane’s Syndrome were the most common causes of AHP. Other diagnosis were unilateral fourth nerve palsy, sixth nerve palsy, Brown Syndrome, congenital muscular torticollis, ptosis and blow-out orbital fracture. Conclusion: Leading underlying causes of AHP in patients presented to an ophthalmology clinic were found to be ocular and treatable. It’s worthy of note that only a minority of these patients indicated AHP as the main presenting complaint. It should be kept in mind that any abnormal head position observed during ophthalmological examination should be further investigated because the underlying pathology may cause treatable morbidity or rarely mortality such in case of acute cranial nerve palsy. 69 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P17 P18 WHY AND WHEN TO PREFER BOTULINUM TOXIN INJECTION IN CHILDREN? Erkan Turan, Kadriye; Taylan Sekeroglu, Hande; Sanac, Ali Sefik; Agin, Abdullah Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine Department Of Ophthalmology, TURKEY LASER CORNEAL REFRACTIVE SURGERY FOR THE TREATMENT OF REFRACTIVE ACCOMMODATIVE ESOTROPIA : 15 YEARS EXPERIENCE Farahi, Azadeh; Hashemi, Hassan Noor Eye Hospital, IRAN Purpose: To investigate the indications and outcomes of botulinum toxin injection in children with strabismus. Purpose: To evaluate the result of laser insitu keratomileusis(LASIK) and photorefractive keratotomy(PRK) in partly and fully accommodative esotropia in adolescence and adult patients. Methods: The medical records of children who underwent botulinum toxin injection for strabismus were reviewed. Eighteen patients (13 boys, 5 girls) with a mean age of 9.08±5.93 (6 months to 17 years) years were enrolled in the study. The main indication and diagnosis, initial and final deviation at primary position and the presence of abnormal head position were all evaluated. Setting: Noor Ophthalmology Research Center, Noor Eye Hospital. Results: All patients received monocular injection. The mean followup period was 2.78±0.94 months for the first postinjection visit and 21.64±15.23 months for the last visit. The mean preinjection and final postinjection deviation was 31.44±23.88 prism diopters (PD) and 14.23±14.87 PD. The most common diagnosis was sixth nerve palsy (6 patients) followed by Duane’s Syndrome (4 patients). Other diagnoses were consecutive exotropia, sensory strabismus, acquired exotropia-exotropia. The leading indications for botulinum toxin injections were the presence of abnormal head position, diplopia and ocular misalignment at primary position. Fourteen patients had one, 4 patients had more than one injection. Five patients underwent strabismus surgery due to inadequate response to injection. No complication related to injection was observed. Results: Mean age of the patients was 25.5 years (range 11 to 46 years), 5 patients were younger than 18 years and 21 patients were women. The mean preoperative uncorrected and corrected angle of deviation was 28.35 and 14.2 prism diopter (PD) of esotropia respectively, which changed to 6.4 PD without correction postoperatively. Three patients with partially accommodative esotropia underwent strabismus surgery 6 months after refractive surgery. Minimum follow up was 6 months. Conclusions: Botulinum toxin injection may be preferred in pediatric age group particularly with extraocular muscle palsy, diplopia and concomitant deviation either to provide ocular alignment prior to surgery or to prevent the detrimental effect of diplopia on binocularity. The intervention seems to be safe and repeatable in children even though in particular cases surgery is still an irreplaceable treatment option. 70 Method: In this interventional case series study we performed LASIK in 54 eyes of 27 patients and PRK in 4 eyes of 2 patients. Preoperative and postoperative visual acuity, refractive spherical equivalent, stereopsis and ocular alignment were recorded. Conclusion: Excimer laser refractive surgery is a promising alternative treatment for patients with refractive accommodative esotropia. ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P19 P20 COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN SYNOPTOPHORE AND VIDEOCULOGRAPH GAZELAB Fernández Agrafojo, Dora; Martín, Pedro; Morales, Hari Research center and eye surgery INOF.

Purpose: To introduce and evaluate reverse Yokoyama procedure in two cases who had high myopic exo-deviation. Methods: The measurements were performed with both instruments in a group of 20 strabic patients in five diagnostic positions of gaze (primary position, dextroversion, levoversion, supraversion and infraversion). Results: The obtained results have statistically no significant differences in the precision of the obtained mesurements between Gazelab and Synoptophore, except in infraversion. Conclusions: Taking into account the comfort and speed for the clinical use, we can say that preparation and positioning of the patient is easier with Synoptophore, even though GazeLab gives us a new perspective in the dynamic evaluation of the strabic patients, and its objective measurement of cyclotorsions. We consider that Gazelab can be a great instrument for examining strabic patients, giving a better impression because it implements new technologies in the optometric and ophthalmologic practice. Methods: Two cases’ who underwent reverse Yokoyama operation records evaluated retrospectively. Operation technique:Fallowing limbal conjunctival insicion medial rectus and inferior rectus jointed 6/0 nonabsorbable suture behind of approximately 11-12 mm of their insertion. Results: Case 1 and case 2 axial lenghth were 31.02 mm and 29.11 mm respectively.Deviation were >45pd exodeviation with 14pd hyperdeviation in case 1 and 55pd exodeviation with 16pd hyperdeviation in case 2 preoperatively.Deviations were 15pd exodeviation in case 1 and ortho position in case 2 without vertical deviation in primary position postoperatively. Conclusion: Reverse Yokoyama procedure found effective for surgical treatement of high myopic exo-hyperdeviation 71 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P21 P22 LIMBUS-INSERTION DISTANCE OF EXTRAOCULAR RECTUS MUSCLES USING SPECTRAL DOMAIN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY AND CORRELATION STUDY Gomez-de-Liano, Rosario; Fernández-Vigo, José I; Ventura, Néstor; Morales, Laura; De Pablo, Lucía Hospital Universitario San Carlos Ophthalmology Motility Unit, SPAIN PARALYTIC STRABISMUS IN INDIAN POPULATION Grover, Renu Icare Eye Hospital, Noida, INDIA Purpose: to determine the insertion distance of the horizontal rectus muscles to the limbus using Spectral Domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and to evaluate whether there exists any correlation between the insertion distance and gender, age or axial length. Methods: Cross-sectional study of 187 right eyes of healthy subjects. The gender and age were collected, and axial length was measured using an optical biometer. SD-OCT images were used to measure the distance from the horizontal rectus insertion to the limbus. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess the reproducibility of the measurements, and a multivariate model was adjusted to analyze whether gender, age and axial length could have an impact on insertion distance. Results: Mean age was 43.7 ±22.1 years (range 6-85); 69% were women. 25 patients were children. Mean axial length was 23.9 ±1.6 mm (range: 20.4-29.3). Mean rectus insertion distance to the limbus was 6.47 ±0.52 mm (range 5.2-7.6) for lateral rectus, and 5.22 ±0.51 mm (range 4.1-6.1) for medial rectus. ICC was >0.87 for intra and interobserver reproducibility, showing excellent agreement. The insertion-limbus distance was influenced by gender, being greater in men (P=0.040 for lateral rectus; P=0.036 for medial rectus). However, there was no correlation between this distance and axial length or age (P>0.156). Conclusions: This study determined that SD-OCT is an effective technique in measuring the insertion distance of the horizontal rectus muscles to the limbus. The length of this distance was greater in men, however, age and axial length seem to be independent. 72 Purpose: The Purpose of this study was to evaluate the Incidence,Types and Causes of Paralytic Stabismus in patients presenting at a Tertiary Eye Centre in the North of India. Methods: It was a Prospective study,conducted over a period of One year,beginning March 2015 to March 2016.The Age Group of patients ranged from 3 years to 80 years.History taking,Cover Test,Abnormal Head Posture,Extraocular movements,Hess Charting and Diplopia Charting –were done-wherever possible.Any Comorbidity,if present, was noted.This Study was conducted in the Paediatric Ophthalmology /StrabismusDepartment at a tertiary eye Centre in the North of India. Results: Superior Oblique Palsy was the most Commonly found Palsy –followed by Sixth Nerve palsy.The most common cause was Found to be Ischaemic-specially in the Elderly age group.In the younger age group,Viral infections followed by trauma were the commonly found causes.In 54% cases,the cause however remained inconclusive. Conclusion: Paralytic Strabismus accounts for about 51% of the total strabismus cases presenting at the Strabismus clinic. Superior Oblique Palsy the most commonly occurring Cranial Nerve Palsy ,specially in the elderly age group,Ischaemia being the most common cause.A large number of cases remain of unknown aetiology,the Viral aetiology seemingly on the rise. ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P23 P24 REDUCED ESODEVIATION WITHOUT CORRECTION; A INDICATOR FOR TAPERING HYPEROPIA IN REFRACTIVE ACCOMMODATIVE ESOTROPIA Ha, Suk-Gyu; Suh, Young-Woo; Cho, Yoonae A.; Kim, Seung-Hyun Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea Department of Ophthalmology, SOUTH KOREA PREFERENCES AND COMPLIANCES DATA FOR AMBLYZ LIQUID CRYSTAL OCCLUSION GLASSES IN AMBLYOPES Heo, Hwan; Park, Yong Seok Chonnam National University Medical School Department of Ophthalmology, SOUTH KOREA Purpose: To investigate clinical characteristics for the prescription of tapering hyperopic correction in patients with refractive accommodative esotropia (RAET) treated with spectacles. Methods: Fifty-nine patients with RAET were enrolled in this study. During follow up period, after prescribing a reduction of hyperopic correction, the clinical features were analyzed. Within the range that can sustain stereoacuity and corrected visual acuity, patients were prescribed for tapering hyperopic correction by 0.25 diopters (D) interval, up to a maximum of 1 D. At visit, visual acuity and angle of deviation with spectacle correction, esodeviation without spectacle correction, decreased amount of esodeviation without correction, stereoacuity were measured. The parameters were compared at final visit, and the correlations between them were analyzed. Results: The follow up period was 1.1 years and the mean age at initiation of tapering was 6.1 ± 2.9 years. The mean baseline refractive error at the time of diagnosis was 4.6 D. The esodeviation without correction decreased from 14.6 prism diopters (PD) (range, 6 - 45) to 4.6 PD (range, 0 - 20) at final visit. None of the other measured values changed significantly at final visit (all, p>0.05). The prescribed amount of decreased hyperopia was positively correlated with the reduced esodeviation without correction and the baseline hyperopia (p = 0.03, 0.04, respectively). Conclusions: Esodeviation without correction should be considered when tapering hyperopia for patients with refractive accommodative esotropia. Because esodeviation without correction can be conveniently measured at the time of prescribing hyperopic correction, it may be used as a clinical indicator for tapering hyperopia with RAET. Purpose: To evaluate the preferences and compliances data for Amblyz liquid crystal occlusion glasses in amblyopes. Methods: We evaluated 15 patients between 3 and 8 years of age who had previously used adhesive patches for monocular amblyopia and were now wearing Amblyz occlusion glasses. Patients wore Amblyz glasses between 4 hours and all day for 1 month. We evaluated patient preference, compliance, price satisfaction and advantages and disadvantages in comparison with adhesive patches. Results: Of the 15 patients evaluated, 14 (93.3%) completed the 1-month study period answered the patient questionnaire. One patient (6.7%) wore Amblyz occlusion glasses for only 3 days, he tried to take off the glasses due to a severely amblyopic eye. Patient preferences and level of satisfaction with Amblyz occlusion glasses varied regardless of visual acuity of the amblyopic eye. There were 4 patients (26.7%) who were very satisfied with the glasses. Patient satisfaction level was low for price and moderate for the size of the glasses. The advantages of Amblyz occlusion glasses were that they did not cause skin irritation, required no hourly parental monitoring, and ensure more convenient patching of the patient during daily activities. Conversely, the disadvantages were the high price and their weight in comparison with conventional optical glasses. Conclusions: Despite their high price and extra weight, Amblyz occlusion glasses can compensate for the drawbacks of adhesive patch therapy. Since preference and compliance may vary among amblyopes, they can opt to wear Amblyz occlusion glasses if they exhibit good compliance during test period. 73 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P25 P26 VISUAL ACUITY ASSESSMENT IN CHILDREN WITH THREE DIFFERENT CHARTS Inal, Asli; Ocak, Osman Bulut; Gokyigit, Birsen; Aygit, Ebru Demet; Yurttaser Ocak, Serap; Inal, Berkay Beyoglu Eye Research and Training Hospital, TURKEY MYASTENIA GRAVIS AT CHILDHOOD: TWO CASES Inal, Asli; Ocak, Osman Bulut; Gokyigit, Birsen; Aygit, Ebru Demet; Basgil Pasaoglu, Isil; Fazil, Korhan Beyoglu Eye Research and Training Hospital, TURKEY Purpose: Familial inheritance of common forms of strabismus like esotropia and exotropia is noted, genetic components of which remain unidentified. The most significant finding so far has been localization of the recessive STBMS1 locus on chromosome 7p22.1. Recently next generation sequencing (NGS) technology has emerged as a powerful tool in discovery genomics and a large number of novel disease causing variants are being reported, particularly for monogenic disorders. In this study, we aimed to recruit informative families for subsequent genetic analysis for disease causing variant identification. Background: CP is functionally classified by the gross motor function classification system (GMFCS), manual ability classification system (MACS) and motor syndrome / topographical type as per the European classification. The purpose of the study was to assess the relevance of ocular misalignment as an easily observable ophthalmic parameter that could be assessed with these functional motor classifications as a marker for more severe motor impairment, necessitating more stringent care. Methods: All consecutive families with two or more affected subjects with strabismus were prospectively recruited at the ophthalmic outpatients department (OPD) of our institution from August 2014 to April 2016. Detailed phenotypic evaluation and pedigree documentation was performed. Results: Of the 26 recruited families of north Indian origin recruited, nine were purely exotropic and 17 were esotropic. While vertical transmission was observed in all families with exotropia, six with esotropia had affected members across one generation, two were consanguineous and two were twin families. Conclusions: Families with clear-cut mode of inheritance recruited in this study may provide a valuable resource to unravel the genetic determinants of this common disorder of early childhood, with high ophthalmic morbidity. Methods: An observational, cross-sectional–design prospective study was conducted by morphological and functional assessment by GMFCS, MACS, Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS) and the European classification alongwith a complete ophthalmic assessment on a representative cohort of 100 children with CP between 4 to 18 years of age with mean age (6.85 ± 2.92 years), (M: F:: 57:43), referred from a pediatric neurology clinic in a tertiary care pediatric hospital. Results: Strabismus (58%) and refractive errors (92%) were found to be the most common ophthalmic anomalies. Both GMFCS and MACS scales showed higher prevalence of squint and refractive errors in the severely impaired groups as compared to mildly impaired groups. By the European classification, spastic quadriplegics had higher prevalence of squint and refractive errors than spastic diplegics & hemiplegics. The VABS score assessing adaptive levels of functioning of these children demonstrated significantly reduction with increased levels of severity of CP as per both functional and topographical scales. Conclusions: Strabismus is indeed an easily observable ophthalmic parameter that indicates more severe motor impairment in CP by different functional, topographical and adaptive scales. 74 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P27 P28 ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS IN CHILDHOOD Agnes Janossy¹ , Nicolette Sohar¹ , Edit Bereg² , Marta Janaky¹ ¹Department of Ophthalmology, University of Szeged, ²Department of Pediatrics University of Szeged RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF DIVERGENT STRABISMUS SURGERY IN CHILDREN IN LAST EIGHT YEARS Jarc Vidmar, Martina; Rahne, Ingrid; Kosec, Dragica Eye Hospital, University Medical Centre Ljubljana Dpt for Ortoptics and Strabology, SLOVENIA Purpose: Our aim was to investigate not only the severity of visual loss in childhood, but to underline the support in differential diagnosis. Purpose: Retrospective analysis of strabismus surgery done by dr. Jarc-Vidmar in children with divergent strabismus in last eight years at University Eye Clinic in Ljubljana. Patients: Every year generally 100-150 children are sent to our laboratory due to any kind of visual disturbances. According to the symptoms, visual evoked potentials (VEP), pattern ERGs (PERG) and standard ERGs were recorded according to the international standards (ISCEV). For ERGs, DTL electrode was used which was well tolerated by children. Patients and methods: 20 children (12M, 8F) were operated for divergent squinting in last eight years. Types of surgical techniques and results were compared and analysed. Results: Individual cases are presented to prove the value of these examinations: Case1: VEP and PERG alterations in a child with juvenile multiple sclerosis with left eye proved the involvement of the optic nerve. Case 2: VEP alteration with normal PERG was caused by papillitis. Case 3: VEP and PERG were abnormal: neuromyelitis optica was the final diagnosis. Case 4: Intracranial tumor was suspected after the performed examination instead of optic neuritis; the child was operated within one week and resulted in full recovery of vision. Case 5: Binocular stimulation of VEPs showed existence of binocular facilitation. Case 6: Normal VEPs and PERGs could exclude the organic background of visual disturbances. Conclusion: Electrophysiological examinations are valuable tool in objective evaluation of the severity of visual disturbance and support to determine the final diagnosis. Results: The children were operated at the mean age of 9,2 ±3,9 years (range: 3-17 years), the average squint angle before surgery was -15,5±8,5 degrees. Children were corrected with glasses for refractive error measured in cycloplegia, most had hypermetropia or hypermetropic astigmatism, only three were myopic. Surgical techniques used were: bilateral lateral rectus muscle recessions (6 children), recessions of one lateral rectus muscle (12 children), unilateral medial rectus muscle resection and lateral rectus muscle recessions of the same eye (2 children). Average squint angle at one week after surgery was -6,5±6,0 degrees, at last visit at follow up it was -7,0±6 degrees. No patient had normal fusion before operation, five patients gained normal fusion after operation, visual acuity at last visit was 0,9 ± 0,1. Conclusions: In the last 8 years there were 20 children operated for divergent squinting. In most children unilateral lateral rectus muscle recessions was used. There was small and stable squint angle at follow up visits, five patients gained normal fusion after the operation. 75 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P29 P30 EFFECT OF SQUINT SURGERIES ON THE CORNEAL HIGHER ORDER ABERRATIONS Juhász, Éva; Fodor, Magdolna; Knézy, Krisztina; Maka, Erika; Maneschg, Otto; Sényi, Katalin; Szamosi, Anna; Szigeti, Andrea; Tóth, Georgina; Kun, Lídia; Kiss, Huba; Nagy, Zoltán Zsolt Semmelweis University, HUNGARY CORRELATION BETWEEN STRABISMUS AND SEVERITY OF PERIVENTRICULAR LEUKOMALACIA Jung, Jaeho; Jeon, Hyeshin; Choi, Hee-Young Pusan National University Ophthalmology, SOUTH KOREA Purpose: to evaluate the effect of squint surgeries on the corneal higher order aberrations. Material and methods: 44 eyes of 24 patients were enrolled in our study who underwent different kinds of squint operation (weakening and strengthening procedures) at the Department of Ophthalmology, Semmelweis University between January and April, 2016. Patients were screened before and 10 days after the surgeries regarding wavefront aberrations by using OPD-scan (Nidek Technologies, Gamagori, Japan®). Corneal higher order aberration data (RMS-HOA corneal) were analyzed in 6.0 mm diameter zone representing mesopic conditions. Results: There was a statistically significant increase between pre- and postoperatively measured RMS-HOA corneal data in the 6.0 mm diameter (mean±standard deviationpreoperative= 1.798±1.021, mean±standard deviationpostoperative= 2.144±1.269, p=0.0044; Wilcoxon-test). Conclusions: According to our results squint surgeries have an effect on corneal higher order aberrations, but to detect its exact reasons more evaluations are needed. Longer follow-up period would be necessary in order to test higher order aberrations by changing over time. Importance: Although strabismus is commonly associated with periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), its clinical features are not well established. Objective: To investigate the correlation between strabismus and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in children with PVL. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: The severity of PVL was graded based on the MRI findings of the patients. The MRI findings were retrospectively analyzed to establish the presence of lesions invading specific locations. All of the patients underwent complete ophthalmic examination. Strabismus was characterized in terms of direction, intermittency, and angle of deviation. Participants: The study included 73 consecutive patients who visited the Department of Ophthalmology and were diagnosed with PVL. Main outcomes and measures: The prevalence and the characteristics of strabismus and their correlation with the grade of PVL were investigated. Results: The perinatal characteristics did not differ between different grades of PVL. Refractive errors, found in 56 (76.7%) patients, did not differ between the grades of PVL either. Strabismus was observed in 38 (52.1%) patients, and its prevalence increased with the stage of the disorder; 20 patients had exotropia. Constant strabismus was found more frequently in patients with higher grade PVL. However, the direction and angle of deviation did not differ depending on the grade of PVL. Conclusions and relevance: The prevalence of strabismus increased with the severity of PVL and was higher among patients with PVL than among healthy individuals. We believe that the severity of PVL might be related to ocular misalignment. Early ophthalmic evaluation is necessary in children with PVL, especially in those with higher grades of the disease. 76 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P31 P32 LOCALIZING EXTRAOCULAR RECTUS MUSCLES INSERTIONS BY USING ANTERIOR SEGMENT OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY Kang, Hyun Goo; Choi, Eun Young; Han, So Young; Han, Jinu; Han, Sueng-Han Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University Ophthalmology, SOUTH KOREA THE IMPACT OF GRADED INFERIOR OBLIQUE RECESSION ON THE OUTCOME OF UNILATERAL RECESS-RESECTION SURGERY IN THE SAME EYE Kim, Mirae; Kim, Won-Jae; Kim, Myung-Mi Yeungnam University College of Medicine, SOUTH KOREA Purpose: To determine whether anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) can accurately predict the location of muscle insertions when compared to actual intraoperative measurements. Purpose: To evaluate the effects of graded inferior oblique recession when combined with unilateral recess-resection surgery in the same eye on the horizontal alignment after surgery to correct intermittent exotropia Methods: A total of 25 muscles from 19 patients undergoing correction of horizontal strabismus (including 3 muscle undergoing reoperation) between December 2015 to April 2016 were included in this prospective, double masked, observational study. Preoperatively, distance from both scleral spur (SP) and angle recess (AR) to muscle cleft was calculated by AS-OCT (Cornea/ Anterior Segment OCT SS-1000, Tomey Corp., Nagoya, Japan). These values were compared to distances measured with the surgical caliper from limbus to the anterior side of the insertion site. Results: Distances measured by AS-OCT from the SP and AR compared to surgical caliper measurements revealed good reliability of 0.92 (95% CI, 0.85-0.96)(p<0.0001) and 0.91 (95% CI, 0.830.95)(p<0.0001), respectively. AS-OCT measurements from the SP and AR were 66.70% and 61.50% within the clinically acceptable 1mm range of intraoperative measurements. Applying simple linear regression between SP-derived values and caliper-measurements allowed for adjusted preoperative values that are 89.47% within the clinically acceptable range (p<0.001). Conclusions: AS-OCT can accurately predict extraocular muscle distances preoperatively with reliability. It may be a useful tool for preoperative planning in cases of primary or previously operated cases undergoing strabismus surgery. Method: The medical records of patients who underwent unilateral recess-resection surgery and had a follow-up of more than 1 year were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups: Group A included patients who underwent combined graded inferior oblique recession in the same eye (n=62) and group B included patients who underwent an isolated procedure (n=107). Baseline demographics, clinical features, success rate and the angle of distance horizontal deviation at 1 week and 1, 3, and 12-months postoperatively were compared. Result: There were no significant differences in baseline demographics and preoperative angles of deviation between group A and B. The proportion of patients who passed Lang stereotest (550 seconds of arc) was significantly lower in group A (67.9% VS 89.3%, p=0.001). No significant intergroup difference in the angle of deviation was observed at any postoperative time point and the success rate at postoperative 1 year did not differ between groups. Conclusion: Combined graded inferior oblique recession procedures did not significantly influence the horizontal alignment after unilateral recess-resection surgery in the same eye. Therefore, there is no need to revise the surgical amount of unilateral recessresection surgery. 77 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P33 P34 A CASE OF UNILATERAL TROCHLEAR NERVE PALSY SECONDARY TO HERPETIC UVEITIS IN HERPES ZOSTER OPHTHALMICUS Kim, Su Jin; Lee, Sang Gon; Lee, Seung UK Gyeong Sang National University Department of Ophthalmology, SOUTH KOREA THE ANALYSIS OF AXIAL LENGTH-DISC AREA RATIO AND PERIPAPILLARY RETINAL NERVE FIBER LAYER THICKNESS IN AMBLYOPIC EYES Kim, Su Jin; Park, Changeum; Lee, Seung UK Gyeong Sang National University Department of Ophthalmology, SOUTH KOREA Purpose: To report a case of unilateral trochlear nerve palsy secondary to herpetic uveitis in herpes zoster ophthalmicus. Purpose: To compare the retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL) thickness and characteristics of optic nerve head (ONH) parameters in amblyopic and fellow eyes in patients with amblyopia using spectral domain optical coherence tomography(SD-OCT). Case summary: A 67-year-old man presented with binocular diplopia of 4 days duration. He has been diagnosed with herpes zoster ophthalmicus and taking antiviral agents and steroid for 4 days. Anterior chamber reaction was seen in left eye on slit lamp examination and extorsion of left eye was seen on fundus examination. He was diagnosed with trochlear nerve palsy based on prism cover test showing hypertropia in left eye and limitation of infraduction in the adducted position in left eye. He was treated with antiviral agents and steroid and complete resolution of ophthalmoplegia occured after 2 months of treatment. Conclusions: Unilateral trochlear nerve palsy secondary to herpetic uveitis can occur in herpes zoster ophthalmicus and can be improved with antiviral agents and steroid. Key word: Herpes zoster ophthalmicus, Trochlear nerve palsy, Herpetic uveitis Methods: 52 patients with 104 eyes were included in this study; the distribution of patients was 23 patients with anisometropic amblyopia, 15 patients with bilateral refractive amblyopia, and 15 patients with non-amblyopia. The circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and ONH parameters(rim volume, cup volume, rim area, sup-to-disc area ration) were obtained by SD-OCT. Axial lengths were determined by IOL master. Result: The amblyopic eyes were significantly more hyperopic than the fellow eyes(p<0001). Among the ONH parameters, the optic disc area was significantly larger and the average C/D ratio and cup volume were smaller in the amblyopic eyes than in the fellow eyes(P<0.05). Axial length/optic disc area ratio and retinal area/optic disc rim area were larger in amblyopic eyes than the fellow eyes(p<0.05). The circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness was not significantly different between two groups. Conclusions: We found significant differences in optic disc area, average C/D ratio, cup volume, axial length/optic disc area and retinal area/optic disc rim area between amblyopic and fellow eyes. Keywords : Anisometropic amblyopia, Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, ONH parameters, Axial length/optic disc area 78 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P35 DORSAL MIDBRAIN SYNDROME. A DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGE. Knézy, Krisztina; Tátrai, Erika; Pek, Anita; Skaliczky, Zoltan; Maka, Erika; Nagy, Zoltán Zsolt DSc Semmelweis University Department of Ophthalmology, HUNGARY Aim: to present the diagnostic steps and differential diagnostic considerations in a case of a patient who presented to us with diffuse visual complaints. Patient: 25 years old female patient presented to our Clinic to obtain third opinion. She started to experience progressive bilateral deterioration of vision for some months. A medium degree myopia was the only eye problem she ever had. History revealed ventriculoperitoneal shunt-implantation during infancy due to hydrocephalus. MRI brain already performed excluded space occupying lesion. Methods: Routine ophthalmological examination was carried out, comprising Goldmann perimetry and Hess chart. Follow-up cranial imaging was also carried out. Results: Best corrected visual acuity was 1,0 bilaterally, but refraction showed a -1,5 D sph myopic shift on both eyes. Otherwise anterior and posterior segments were normal. Kinetic perimetry was normal while Hess chart suggested bilateral abducent nerve damage. We could find a severe limitation in voluntary upgaze and retraction nystagmus on attempt of voluntary upgaze. Spontaneous repeated upper lid retraction could be observed (Collier’s sign). We concluded dorsal midbrain syndrome based on the results mentioned above and assumed shunt-malfunction in the background. Shunt revision surgery was carried out a month later and complaints resolved in a few weeks with the exception of accomodation spasm. Conclusion: In case of ill-defined complaints we should always carry out complete neuroophthalmologic examination. Checking eye movements is crucial. In shunt patients we always have to take into consideration malfunction of the device. 79 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P36 P37 CORRELATIONS BETWEEN THE POSITION OF HORIZONTAL EXTRAOCULAR MUSCLES INSERTION AND THE BIOMETRICAL DATA OF THE EYE Kun, Lidia; Fodor, Magdolna; Juhász, Éva; Kiss, Huba; Knézy, Krisztina; Maka, Erika; Maneschg, Otto; Sényi, Katalin; Szamosi, Anna; Szigeti, Andrea; Tóth, Georgina; Nagy, Zoltán Zsolt Semmelweis University, Department of Ophthalmology, HUNGARY THE CASE OF SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL TREATMENT OF ATYPICAL FORM OF VERTICAL STRABISMUS Kuzhda, Iryna; Serdiuchenko, Vira; Kaminskyy, Yuriy; Pityk, Olena Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Childrens Clinical Hospital Ophthalmology, UKRAINE Purpose: To investigate whether the position of the medial (MRM) and lateral rectus muscles (LRM) has any correlation with biometrical data of the eye. Methods: 64 eyes of 32 healthy volunteers underwent anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) (DRI OCT Triton, Swept source OCT, Topcon), and optical biometry measurements (Lenstar LS 900, Haag-Streit Diagnostics). AS-OCT was performed in lateral gaze position, the scanning plane was oriented parallel to the long axis of the muscles. The insertion distances were measured between the scleral spur (SS) and the end of the gap between sclera and the muscle. Axial length (AL), white to white distance (WTW), and anterior chamber depth (ACD) was determined with optical biometry. Regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between the insertion distances and ocular parameters. Results: The mean distance between SS and LRM insertion was 6.333 (SD±0.7038) mm, and MRM insertion was 5.276 (SD±0.936) mm. The distance between SS and LRM insertion showed positive correlation with the AL (r=0.32647; p=0.0084). The distance between SS and MRM has no correlation with AL, and correlated slight but not significant with the ACD (r=0.22636; p=0.074). This can be explained with the higher variability of MRM insertion, or lower reproducibility of measurements in case of MRM. The other biometrical data showed no correlation with the position of horizontal extraocular muscles. Conclusion: Our data showed the extraocular muscle position determined with AS-OCT can be associated with other biometrical measurements of the eye. Further standardized investigations are needed to determine the clinical significance of this results. 80 Purpose: Vertical strabismus is one of rare types of strabismus. Sometimes it is combined with eso- or exotropia. It is not accommodative strabismus. In majority cases it developes because of congenital changes of eye muscles, especially of vertically motors (inferior or superior oblique muscles, superior or inferior rectus muscles). We cannot use spectacles or orthoptic treatment for such category of strabismic patients. So, the only possibility of medical care in such cases is surgery. But in many cases of vertical strabismus the surgeon must decide what type of surgical treatment to use in concrete patient. Sometimes it is hard to do. Methods: The patient with atypical form of vertical strabismus was surgically treated by combined operation (great recession and anteriotransposition of inferior oblique muscle combined with great recession of superior rectus muscle). The patient also suffers from hard neurological and traumatological problems. He was operated before by traumatologist because of hard congenital pathology of the spine. Results: The result of surgery was satisfactory. Orthotropia in primary position was achieved. Also, better eye movements in downgase were achieved. Also, we achieved decreasing of abnormal head posture and decreasing of ptosis of upper eyelid. Positive and satisfactory cosmetic effect was obtained after surgery. Increasing of visual acuity from 0,1 to 0,2 was attained. As a result, better conditions to treat disbinocular amblyopia were achieved. Such level of best corrected visual acuity gives the possibility to develop fusion and binocular functions. The patient and his family were consulted by psychiatrist also and psychoeducation was recommended. So, in such complicated cases of strabismus we must use all our knowledge and understanding about functions of extraocular muscles in order to make decision what muscles to operate in order to achieve satisfactory functional and cosmetic result of surgery. Such patients need consulting of neurologist and psychiatrist (if they agree) in order to proceed treatment. ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P38 P39 FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH TOLERANCE OF PARTIAL SPECTACLE CORRECTION IN HYPEROPIC CHILDREN Kyung, Sungeun Dankook University Ophthalmology, SOUTH KOREA EFFICIENCY OF THE PEDIATRIC AUTOREFRACTOMETER PLUSOPTIX A-09 DURING THE OPHTHALMIC EXAMINATION OF THE EARLY AGE CHILDREN Lamiya Hasanzade, Nigar Gurbanova, Dursun Mustafayeva, Jamila Shafieva, Aziza Amirova Azerbaijan Institute of Postgraduate Education after A. ALiev, Baku, AZERBAIJAN Purpose: To compare the effect of spectacle correction in hyperopic children between full and partial spectacle correction of hyperopia and investigate the factors associated with tolerance of partial spectacle correction in hyperopic children. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed by a search of the hospital database of child patients with prescribing glasses more than 1.5D hyperopia. Patients were classified into two groups by cycloplegic refraction: 1) under-correction of hyperopia: at least more than 0.5 diopter from cycloplegic photorefraction, 2) full correction of hyperopia, according to two different practitioners. A total of 72 patients were followed at least 1 years. The main outcome measure was the comparison in spherical equivalent refractive errors of spectacle glasses in both groups after more than one year of follow-up with age at first visit, initial spherical equivalent refractive errors, strabismus, amblyopia, astigmatism, or anisometropia. Results: There was statistical significantly difference in the factors which can tolerate hyperopia reduction, like no anisometropia, hyperopia less than 4 D, or astigmatism less than 1 D. The linear regression analysis scatterplot indicated that initial spherical equivalent refraction errors were little correlation with hyperopia reduction rate in partial correction group. (n:36; r2:0.036; P value:0.304) and full correction group. Conclusion: The partially corrected spectacle glasses may have benefit in patient with no anisometropia, less than 1 diopter astigmatigm, and less than 4diopter hyperopia in terms of tolerance of hyperopic reduction. Aim: evaluation of the diagnostic possibilities of pediatric autorefractometer Plusoptix A-09 in the early age children. Material and methods: 82 children (164 eyes) at the age of 6 months-3 years of old were examined.At the age of 1 year – 18 children,2 years - 26 children,3 years – 38 children. The examination was performed on the pediatric autorefractometer Plusoptix A-09 with the narrow pupil.The results of autorefractometry were compared with the data of sciascopi having been conducted in the conditions of mydriasis medicamentosus. Results: In the children of first year of life the total coincidence of results of the compared examination methods was 50%.In 16,6 of cases the autorefractometry exceeded the indices of sciascopy on 0,5 and in 27,7% - lowered it on 0,5D or 1,0D (2,7%). In the children of the age of 2 years of old the total coincidence of sciascopy and autorefractometry results was 67,3%.In 13,4% and 7,6% of cases autorefractometry exceeded the sciascopy indices on 0,5D and in 3,6% - on 1,0D. In the group of children at the age of 3 years the coincidence of results of compared refractometry methods was 61,8%.In 26,3% of cases autorefractometry exceeded the sciascopy indices on 0,5D (15,0%) and 1,0D (11,3%) but in 13,2% of cases-lowered it on 0,5D (11,0%)and 1,0D(2,2%) accordingly. Conclusion: Pediatric autorefractometry is a convenient,rapid and sufficiently exact method of definition of clinical refraction of the early age childrens eyes. 81 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P40 P41 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THYROTROPIN RECEPTOR ANTIBODY AND STABILITY OF STRABISMUS IN THYROID- ASSOCIATED OPHTHALMOPATHY Lee, Yeonhee; Kim, Min-su Chungnam National University Hospital Department of Ophthalmology, SOUTH KOREA VERTICAL SQUINT AS INITIAL MANIFESTATION OF FIBROUS DYSPLASIA Maka, Erika; Garami, Miklos; Rudas, Gabor; Czirjak, Sandor; Nagy, Zoltan Zsolt Semmelweis University Department of Ophthalmology, HUNGARY Relationship between thyrotropin receptor antibody and stability of strabismus in thyroid- associated ophthalmopathy Purpose: To investigate relationship between thyrotropin receptor antibody and stability of strabismus in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy(TAO) during its natural course. Design: Observational case series Participants: 25 patients who have strabismus associated with TAO for more than 6 months and available thyrotropin binding inhibiting immunoglobulin(TBII) data. Methods: To test statistical relationship between changes of deviation angle and levels of TBII, we created the test periods. Each test periods had a level of TBII and change of deviation angle for 6 months from the day the TBII was measured on. Fifty-five test periods were included after overlapping test periods in same patients were excluded. The relationships between change of deviation angle and level of TBII in each test periods were tested with Pearson’s correlation coefficient. A change in deviation angle more than 10 prism diopter for 6 months was defined as the significant change. Main Outcome Measures: Ocular alignment, and TBII. Results: The levels of TBII showed statistically significant correlation with the changes of deviation angle(r=0.361, p=0.007, Pearson’s correlation coefficient). All of test periods that have normal level of TBII did not show significant changes in deviation angle. All of test periods that showed significant changes in deviation angle had a high level of TBII. Conclusion: Thyrotropin receptor antibody is a useful parameter for predicting stability of strabismus in TAO. 82 Case report: We report vertical squint as an initial manifestation of fibrous dysplasia in a 14-month-old boy. This boy was born at 32nd gestational week. His birth weight was 1480 grams. According to our national guidelines, regular ophthalmological exams were carried out. The vertical squint was recognised when the boy started to open his eyes. Part-time occlusion therapy was recommended in other institute. On first ophthalmological examination in our unit, he fixed with both eyes but could follow only with left eye. We found right hypotropia in the primary position. The right eye couldn’t move at all. Neither enophthalmos nor proptosis were presented. Pupillary reactions were normal. Hypermetropy of the right eye was recognised. Anterior and posterior segments were normal. We planned to make a large recession of the right inferior rectus muscles, but we couldn’t do that. Orbital magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass in the right paranasal sinuses (maxillary, ethmoidal, sphenoidal) with involvement of the lower and medial walls of the orbit. Histopathological examination of this tumour disclosed fibrous dysplasia. Incomplet excision was performed. This is a rare condition. Orbital MRI can be useful in differential diagnosis of restrictive vertical squint in childhood. ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P42 P43 SENSORIAL INFANTILE NYSTAGMUS SYNDROME: PREVALENCE OF OCULOMOTOR AND REFRACTIVE DISORDERS Malheiro, Luisa; Carneiro, Ines; Maia, Sofia; Miranda, Vasco; Parreira, Ricardo; Menéres, Pedro Centro Hospitalar do Porto, PORTUGAL EYE POSITION UNDER GENERAL ANESTHESIA IN ORTHOPHORIC CHILDREN Manoli, Pierre; Auckburraly, Mehran; Lebranchu, Pierre; Pechereau, Alain; Gain, Philippe; Thuret, Gilles; Jullienne, Remy Saint-Etienne University Hospital, FRANCE Purpose: Sensorial infantile nystagmus syndrome (SINS) has a multitude of different etiologies and frequently coexists with oculomotor and refractive disorders that worsen the visual impairment. This study aims to review the prevalence of oculomotor and refractive disorders in children with this syndrome Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of general anesthesia with muscle relaxant on the horizontal ocular deviation in orthophoric children. Methods: Demographic and ophthalmological examination data were obtained from children with SINS referred to a low vision clinic in a tertiary hospital, between October 2013 and April 2016. Results: A total of 49 children (27 female) were included. The mean age was 9 years (range 2 months-18 years). Cone-rod retinal dystrophy was the disorder most frequently associated with SINS (n=13) followed by optic neuropathy (n=7), oculocutaneous albinism and microphtalmia (n=6), congenital cataracts (n=5), premature retinopathy (n=3), aniridia and isolated foveal aplasia (n=2). Retinoblastoma, iris and retina coloboma, septo-optic dysplasia, congenital toxoplasmosis and posterior polymorphous corneal dystrophy were recorded only once. Almost 79% had associated strabismus (44% with esotropia, 56% with exotropia and 13% had coexistent alphabetic patterns). Anomalous head position was present in 25% of patients. All patients had a decreased best corrected visual acuity of both eyes (mean: 20/200). Clinically significant ametropias were present in 82% of patients: 29% of the eyes with myopia, 16% with hypermetropia, 27% with myopic astigmatism, 13% with hypermetropic astigmatism and 15% with mixed astigmatism. Impaired psychomotor development coexisted in one third of all patients. Methods: Children aged 4 to 16 years requiring a nonophthalmological surgical procedure under general anesthesia with neuromuscular blockade were included. Prior ophthalmological examination excluded any oculomotor disorder. Horizontal ocular deviation was measured by the Hirschberg photographic method by comparing pictures taken in the awakened state to those taken under general anesthesia. Monitoring of anesthesia was performed by the Bispectral index (BIS) and muscle relaxation by the train of four (TOF). Results: 33 patients were included. Mean age was 8 (+/-4) years and 67.7% were male. The mean horizontal ocular deviation after general anesthesia with neuromuscular blockade was -0.2 diopters (SD: 9.7). Median was -0.7 diopters. 72.7% of patients had an ocular deviation of less than 7.5 diopters with a normal distribution. Conclusions: Our results show that contrary to popular belief, eye position under general anesthesia in children without strabismus is not divergent but very close to orthophoria. Conclusions: Despite being associated with very different predisposing pathologies, SINS is very frequently associated with strabismus and refractive errors which contribute to the overall visual morbidity. 83 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P44 P45 EFFECT OF SQUINT SURGERIES ON THE BLOODAQUEOUS BARRIER Mihályi, Dorottya; Fodor, Magdolna; Kiss, Huba; Knézy, Krisztina; Kun, Lídia; Maka, Erika; Maneschg, Ottó; Sényi, Katalin; Szamosi, Anna; Szigeti, Andrea; Tóth, Georgina; Nagy, Zoltán Zsolt Semmelweis University, Budapest, HUNGARY OCULAR MUSCLES FROM STRABISM UNDERGO AUTOPHAGY Nagy, Annamária; Szatmári-Tóth, Mária; Berta, András; Facskó, Andrea; Petrovski, Goran Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, HUNGARY Purpose: to evaluate the influence of strabismus surgery on the blood-aqueous barrier through anterior segment ischaemia. Material and methods: 32 eyes of 26 patients (mean age: 35.4±12.7 years, male/female: 1/1,36) were enrolled in our study who underwent different kinds of squint operation (weakening and strengthening procedures) at the Department of Ophthalmology, Semmelweis University between January and April, 2016. Exclusion criteria: uveitis, haematological deseases in the medical history, simultaneous surgery on more than 2 rectus muscles. Patients were screened before the surgery and 1 and 10 days postoperatively regarding anterior-chamber flare by using Kowa FM-600 Laser Flare meter. Results: There were not statistically significant differences between pre- and postoperatively measured anteriorchamber flare values (mean±SDpreoperative=4.25±2.01 photon count/ms, mean±SDpostoperative1day = 4.34±1.62, mean±SDpostoperative10day=3.84±1.30, p>0.05 Wilcoxontest). Conclusions: According to our results strabismus surgery did not have influence on the blood-aqueous barrier. Although our patients’ mean age was low, it would be interesting to examine patients of the cardiovascular risk group (elderly patients with atherosclerosis), or patients with thyroid associated orbitopathy, or patients after several squint surgeries, even on more than 2 muscles. 84 Purpose: To examine the presence of autophagy - a selfdegradative intracellular mechanism, in ocular muscles obtained from strabism. Materials and Methods: Ocular muscles from strabism patients were obtained from surgery after obtaining signed informed consent (3 donors) and from control cadaver eyes (3 donors) according to the Guidelines of the Helsinki Declaration. Immunofluorescent staining of fixed strabism muscles undergoing atrophy was performed against a marker for autophagy (LC3) and further confirmed by Western blotting for LC3 and p62/SQSTM1. Results: Atrophic muscles from strabism contained significantly higher expression of the autophagy marker LC3 (hallmarked by higher number and size of fluorescently positive autophagic vacuoles) compared to the controls. These findings could be confirmed by Western blotting for LC3 and related to a decreased p62 expression as usually found in autophagy activation. Conclusions: This is the first time a presence of autophagy is shown in strabism muscles. Whether autophagy has a prosurvival or death role in muscle atrophy needs further studies to be undertaken.

Material method: We evaluated the datas from 51 patients with INS who were referred between September 2015 - April 2016 retrospectively. The ethiology of INS, precense of strabismus and abnormal head posture (AHP), applied operations were recorded. Results: 32 (%62.74) of the patients were male and 19(%37.26) patients were female. Their ages were between 1 – 31 years (mean age 9.60 ± 7.43). 27 ( %52.94 ) of the patients were idiopatic, 5 (%9.80) patients were with oculo-cutaneous albinism, 4 (%7.84) patients were with ocular albinism, 2 (%3.92) patients had retinal disorders, 3 (%5.88) patients had congenital cataract, 6 (%11.76) patients had norological disorders and 4(%7.84) patients had optic disc anomalies. 21 (%41.2) patients had strabismus and 27 (%52.9) patients had AHP. We operated 15 patients. The operations were for strabismus or AHP and 1 patient was operated for decrease of nystagmus amplitude. Conclusions: The examination of INS patients must be detailed and the presence of strabismus and AHP should be carefully evaluated. Material and method: We evaluate the patients with Down syndrome who underwent bimedial rectus recession surgery for esotropia between april 2005 and april 2014 retrospectively. Control group was selected from the age-matched patients with normal neurological development who underwent the same surgical procedure. Ocular alignment was measured with Krimsky test or prism cover test. Surgical success was defined as within 10 prism dioptri (PD) of orthotropia 6 months after surgery. We compared case and control groups in terms of preoperative and postoprative esodeviation angle at 6 months follow-up, surgical doses of bimedial rectus recession and postoperative surgical success. Results: Eleven patients with Down Syndrome ( age range 2 – 17) and 22 control subjects were included. Their ages were between 2 – 17 years. The groups did not differ in either preoperative (Down syndrome group 37.73±8.42 PD, control group 35.91±7.65 PD) and postoperative deviation angle (Down syndrome group 5.45±11.83 PD, control group 2.36±7.13 PD), surgical doses of bimedial rectus recession surgery (Down syndrome group 4.68±0.40 mm, control group 4.78±0.38 mm). Surgical success was achieved in 9 patients with Down syndrome (% 81.8), and in 20 of control patients at 6 months follow-up. There was significant difference between preoperative and postoperative deviation in both groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Surgical success between esotropia patients who underwent bimedial rectus recession surgery with or without Down Syndrome was similar.

Methods: We evaluated the visual acuity with Lea gratings charts of 182 eyes of 91 patients ages between 6 to 30 months ( mean age 16,62 ± 6.94 months). The visual acuity measurements were obtained by two different doctors and the results obtained were compared. For statistical analyses we used SPSS® 22 for Windows. Results: The mean visual acuity levels were 2.59±2.30 and 2.60±2.30 of the right eyes and 2.96±2.39 and 2.98±2.38 of the left eyes obtained by doctor 1 and doctor 2 respectively. The correlation between measurements of two doctors were significantly high (p<0.001). Conclusions: Lea gratings charts can be used for evaluation of the visual acuity in children under 30 months by different doctors without any significant differencess being found between them. Purpose: To analyze surgical outcome depending on the amount of hyperopia in patients with infantile esotropia Methods: This study retrospectively examined 80 patients with infantile esotropia who underwent both medial rectus recession from January 2007 to December 2011 before 36months old and at least 36 months of follow-up. The patients were divided into groups according to the degree of hyperopia ≥ +3.0D (High hyperopia, HH, n=59 patients) and ≤ +3.0D (Non high hyperopia, NH, n=21 patients). Clinical characteristics analyzed included surgical success rate, dose-response relationship at 3months and 3years follow-up. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the groups with initial preoperative alignment (p=0.450), Surgical success rate(NH: 69.5% (41/59), HH: 71.4% (15/21), p=0.837), Under-correction rate(NH: 23.7% (14/59), HH: 9.5% (2/21), p=0.191) and Over-correction rate(NH: 6.8% (4/59), HH: 19.1%(4/21), p=0.138). There was a tendency towards larger dose-response relationship with higher hyperopia (NH: 3.9PD/ mm, HH: 4.3PD/mm) at 3months post-op follow-up, but it was not significant (p=0.105). Dose-response relationship was significantly higher in high hyperopia group than non high hyperopia (NH 3.9PD/ mm, HH 4.9PD/mm) at 3years post op follow-up (p=0.010). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups with amblyopia (p=0.146). Conclusions: Surgical success rate of infantile esotropia may be not associated with amount of hyperopia. There was no association between dose-response relationship and amount of hyperopia at post-op 3months follow-up, but high dose-response relationship in high hyperopia group at post-op 3years follow-up. Therefore the conventional amount of recession or resection of muscles should be modified in high hyperopic (≥ +3.0D) infantile esotropia, and long term post-op follow-up is necessary.

Piantanida, Andrea C.; Spera, Manuela; Nobili, Roberta; Gerosa, Giulia Centro Oculistico Lariano, ITALY THE SYSTEM OF TREATMENT AND REHABILITATION MEASURES IN PATIENTS WITH PARETIC STRABISMUS Plisov, Igor L. S.N. Fyodorov IRTC “Eye Microsurgery” FSAI of the Ministry of Health Care of the Russian Federation, Novosibirsk, RUSSIA Purpose: To stress the importance of the orthoptic check in patients with latent strabismus before performing refractive surgery and to consider early cataract surgery with consecutive “desired” myopia as a solution in diplopia to manage divergent strabismus. Purpose: A system of complex functional treatment of patients with paretic strabismus was developed and introduced in clinics. Methods: An 40 years old woman came at our observation referring for frequent diplopia increasing during time. She underwent laser refractive surgery for myopia (RE – 2.00 sf dioptres, LE – 8.00 sf. diopters) few years before. Her actual visual acuity was - 0,1 LogMar in the right eye and 0,2 LogMar. In both eyes she had an initial opacity of the posterior capsule. At our orthoptic check she was exoforic/exotropic (for far -4^, for near -12^) with intermittent cross diplopia, even if she had normal fusional vergences. We decided to perform an early cataract surgery to restore a myopic refraction to control divergence. Results: After surgery the patient had a better control of the exophoria, she didn’t refer for subjective diplopia anymore. At the orthoptic check she was ortophoric for far and slight exoforic for near (-8^) Conclusions: Non muscular diplopia in adults after refractive surgery is one of the most challenging problem to manage. An orthoptic examination should be mandatory before refractrive surgery in order to quantify latent strabismus and its control by the patient. Early catarct surgery restoring myopic refraction may be an important therapeutic aid alternative to muscle surgery in selective cases. Methods: Prismatic correction was prescribed as an independent method (92 patients) and for the correction of residual deviation after extraocular muscle chemodenervation or surgical treatment (20 patients). A method of orthoptic treatment using synoptophore was developed; it is adjusted to incomitant oculomotor system. In the cases, when the above methods did not make it possible to efficiently improve the functions of affected muscles, chemodenervation was done. Results: In 95 patients (84.8%), prismatic correction made it possible to eliminate diplopia in the problematic direction of gaze (DG). In 17 patients (15.2%), diplopia was reduced. In 22 cases (23.9%), functional recovery was achieved. In all cases of primary (10 patients) or stage (5 patients) treatment using synoptophore the patients were released from diplopia in the direct DG. In 70 patients (94.6%), positive results were achieved after chemodenervation of ipsilateral antagonist: functionality of the affected muscles was increased from degree 1.5±1.1 to 3.4±0.8, primary deviation was decreased from 17.96±8.31° to 3.01±3.14°. In 55 patients (74.3%), orthophoria was achieved in the direct DG. Chemodenervation of ipsilateral antagonist and contralateral synergist was performed in 28 patients: functionality was increased from degree 1.14±1.02 to 3±0.86, deviation was decreased from 19.14±7.31° to 4.23±3.43°. In 42.9% patients, functional recovery was achieved. Conclusions: The system of active functional treatment made it possible to achieve recovery in 48.5% patients. In the remaining cases, the volume of the required surgical treatment was decreased. 87 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P52 P53 INDUCED HYPERTROPHY OF EXTRAOCULAR MUSCLES AFTER THE ADMINISTRATION OF SYNTHETIC PEPTIDES INTO THEM Plisov, Igor L.; Atamanov, Vasiliy V.; Chernyavskaya, Mariya A.; Toporkov, Igor A.; Mamulat, Darya R.; Antsiferova, Natalya G. S.N. Fyodorov IRTC “Eye Microsurgery” FSAI of the Ministry of Health Care of the Russian Federation, Novosibirsk, RUSSIA BOTULINUM TOXIN IN THE TREATMENT OF STRABISMUS IN CHILDREN – OUR EXPERIENCE Podedworny-Chustecka, Agnieszka; Jakubaszek, Aleksandra; Bukala-Mroczek, Anna; Szala, Ewa; Samsel, Agnieszka Szpital Dziecięcy, Warszawa, POLAND Purpose: The purpose of the research was to conduct morphometric study of extraocular eye structures in rabbits after the introduction of synthetic peptides into them. Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on a series of children with horizontal strabismus treated with BTXA into the lateral or medial rectus muscle. A case series included a total of 131 patients aged from 5 months to 17 years. The average age at the time of application was 2,2 years. Type A botulinum toxin (Dysport) injection in medial rectus muscles was used for concomitant esotropia treatment, esotropia due to VI nerve paralysis or paresis (114 cases). In 17 cases with exotropia BTA was injected in lateral rectus muscles. The incidence of adverse effects was also evaluated. The follow-up was 12 months. Methods: Morphometric research of m. rectus lateralis (MRL), m. levator palpebrae (MLP) and m. orbicularis oculi (MOO) was done in 10 experimental rabbits after the administration of synthetic peptides into the periorbital area. Results: During microscopy in the study group, the thickness of MRL and MOO muscular fibers was 30% bigger, of MLP – 56% bigger as compared with the values of this parameter in the control group, which was due to muscle fiber hypertrophy. The hypertrophy had a non-uniform character in respect of the fiber length and was more expressed in the middle sections. It may be assumed that muscle fiber hypertrophy happens to a greater degree due to sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. Myofibrillar hypertrophy was registered only in certain MLP fibers. The most expressed differences in the compared groups were observed when assessing angiogenesis processes. The number of vessels in intramuscular space of muscle increased mainly due to hyperplastic processes with the formation of newly formed vessels of the microvasculature, exceeding the values of the similar parameter in the control group by 52.4%, which testifies to expressed stimulation of early angiogenesis with an increase in capillarization and improvement of trophic processes. Conclusions: Administration of synthetic peptides into muscle activates reparative processes expressed in heterogeneous hypertrophy of muscular fibers; activation of fibrogenesis with increased number density of fibroblasts; increased reactivity of the vessel component with neoangiogenesis activation. 88 Purpose: To evaluate clinical results and complications from botulinum toxin (BTXA) for strabismus treatment. Results: The ocular deviation was reduced by an average of 45% in convergent concomitant strabismus, 23% in incomitant esotropia, 40% in concomitant exotropia, 75% in consecutive exotropia after esotropia surgery. Improvement in eyes mobility was observed in 93% of patients. Complications included: transient ptosis, vertical deviation, diplopia and subconjunctival hemorrhages. Conclusions: BTXA is an efficacious treatment for esotropia in children. The technique is simple, well tolerated, and has no systemic side effects.

Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution, RUSSIA PARALYSIS OF N. OCULOMOTORIUS: OUR EXPERIENCE OF SURGICAL TREATMENT Puzyrevskiy, Konstantin G. S.N. Fyodorov IRTC “Eye Microsurgery” FSAI of the Ministry of Health Care of the Russian Federation, RUSSIA Purpose: The definition of tactics and volume of surgical intervention at the combined forms of strabismus is an important task. Purpose: To analyze clinical and functional results of new surgical treatment of patients with n. oculomotorius palsy. Methods: The study group included 61 patients with a mean age of 5,2 years. All patients had esotropia of varying severity with increasing hypertropia in adduction, amid hyperfunction of the inferior oblique muscle. All patients underwent one-stage elimination of the horizontal component of the deviation by the recession and resection of the horizontal muscles, as well as the recession of the inferior oblique muscle. The mean follow-up was 3 years (range, 1 to 5 years). Results: In result of simultaneous surgery orthotropy in the early postoperative period reached 92%. In 5 patients eliminated residual esotropia in terms from 6 months to 1 year. Hypertropy was not in the primary gaze position and adduction. Forced position of the head is eliminated in 78% of cases. All patients received functional treatment (orthoptics) and constant spectacle correction. In the long-term period of 6 to 12 months, orthotropy persisted in 90% of patients achieved binocular vision in 35% of patients. Overcorrection was not noted in any patient. Methods: The group under study included 4 patients. The main stage of operative therapy implied union of the superior and medial rectus muscles with fixation to sclera closer to limbus: in three cases – according to the Puzyrevskiy technique. In all cases, weakening lateral rectus muscle and oblique superior muscle. Results: The average value of exotropia was reliably decreased from 32.63±12.02° to 9.5±2.21°, hypotropia – from 13.35±3.32° to 5.25±2.12°. The adduction volume was increased from -12.33±1.09° to 5.5±2.24°, the elevation volume – from 14.17±2.23° to 4.07±3.14°. Conclusions: The proposed technique is an effective method of surgical treatment in addition to the weakening of the lateral rectus and superior oblique muscles. Conclusions: The one-stage surgery with combined horizontal vertical strabismus is an effective treatment, reducing the stages of surgical correction of strabismus. The recession of inferior oblique muscle is the effective method of operation in high oblique hyperfunction. 89 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P56 P57 HEAVY EYE SYNDROME: OUR EXPERIENCE OF SURGICAL TREATMENT Puzyrevskiy, Konstantin G.; Plisov, Igor L.; Antsiferova, Natalya G.; Mamulat, Darya R. S.N. Fyodorov IRTC “Eye Microsurgery” FSAI of the Ministry of Health Care of the Russian Federation, RUSSIA TREATMENT OF PRIMARY GAZE DIPLOPIA IN PATIENTS WITH ENDOCRINE ORBITOPATHY Rahne, Ingrid; Kosec, Dragica University Eye Hospital Ljubljana, SLOVENIA Purpose: To analyze clinical and functional results of surgical treatment of patients with the heavy eye syndrome. Methods: The group under study included 5 patients. The main stage of operative therapy implied union of the superior and lateral rectus muscles: in two cases – according to the Yokoyama technique, in three cases – according to the Puzyrevskiy technique (with fixation of the united superior and lateral rectus to sclera closer to limbus). In all cases, maximum recession of the ipsilateral medial rectus. In the cases with positive traction test (4 patients), in the attempt to rotate the eye up, the action of the inferior rectus was weakened using tendon-sclera-plasty. In one case (after the first stage without tendon-sclera-plasty of the inferior rectus), hypertropia occurred, that is why median tucking of the inferior rectus was done as a second stage. Results: The average value of esotropia was reliably decreased from 36.67±14.02° to 7.50±3.27°, hypotropia – from 11.67±5.32° to 3.50±3.02°. The abduction volume was increased from -8.33±13.29° to 22.50±12.94°, the elevation volume – from -5.67±3.33° to 16.17±6.34°. Absence of diplopia with relative cosmetic orthoposition was explained by asymmetric decrease in visual functions as a result of worsening of optical medium transparency and chorioretinal dystrophic changes. Conclusions: The main efficient technique for surgical treatment is the union of superior and lateral rectus muscles – elimination of the defect in para-orbital tissues through which the eye dislocates. In the case of tension of medial and inferior rectus muscles, the volume of surgical intervention is supplemented with reducing their action. 90 Purpose: The aim of this study is to present the results of treatment in patients with endocrine orbitopathy (EO) and primary gaze diplopia in University Eye hospital Ljubljana. Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients with EO and primary gaze diplopia from 2001-2016, treated in University Eye hospital Ljubljana. Treatment methods were: surgical, nonsurgical and combined treatment. The statistical analysis includes clinical assessment of disorders in the motility, angle of deviation, binocular functions, treatment modality and patient’s subjective assessment of diplopia improvement after the treatment. Results: There were 33 patients with diplopia (29 women and 4 men). Prior to the treatment 20 patients presented with limited elevation (14 unilateral, 6 bilateral), 4 patients with bilaterally limited abduction, 2 with combined limitation of abduction and elevation, 3 patient with unilaterally limited depression and 1 the patient with combined limitation of elevation in one and depression in the other eye; in 3 patients motility clinically was not limited. In 78% of patients angle of deviation reduced. 64% of patients had some of binocular functions after treatment. 52% of patients were treated with surgery, 27% with prismatic correction, 21% had other ways of treatment. A single image in the primary position was achieved in 78% of patients with prismatic correction and in 76,5% of the surgically treated patients. Conclusion: Treatment of primary gaze diplopia as a result of EO is a complex and lengthy process, which requires a combination of different treatment modalities, experienced surgeon and individual adjustment of the treatment in an individual patient. ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P58 PITUITARY APOPLEXY PRESENTING AS ISOLATED BILATERAL OCULOMOTOR NERVE PALSY: CASE REPORT Ryu, Won Yeol; An, Seoung Hyun; Song, Young Jin Department of Ophthalmology, Dong-A Medical Center College of Medicine, Dong-A University Strabismus, SOUTH KOREA Purpose: To report a case of pituitary apoplexy presenting as isolated bilateral oculomotor nerve palsy which was improved after surgical management. Methods: A 46-year-old man presented with bilateral ptosis and headache for 6 days. Ophthalmic examination revealed the complete limitation of adduction, supraduction, and infraduction with complete ptosis on the both side. The patient was was diagnosed as isolated bilateral oculomotor nerve palsy. In addition, magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a pituitary gland cystic lesion which was diagnosed as pituitary apoplexy. Results: The patient was admitted to the department of neurosurgery and received intravenous methylprednisolone 1.0 g for 7 days. He underwent navigation guided transsphenoidal approach surgery. Oculomotor nerve palsy improved partially on the second postoperative day and completely improved in the fourth month after operation. Conclusion: This is a rare case of pituitary apoplexy that presented with isolated bilateral oculomotor nerve palsy, bilateral ptosis and vision loss. A full recovery was achieved after navigation guided transsphenoidal approach surgery. P59 REVITALVISION TREATMENT AFFECTED BY NYSTAGMUS Sabetti, Lelio; BIANCHI, FEDERICA University of L’Aquila, ITALY IN PATIENTS Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of the RevitalVision training in enhancing Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA) and Contrast Sensitivity (CS) in a group of patients affected by nystagmus. Materials and methods: 12 patients, ranging in age from 10 to 45 years (median age 25.8), 9 males and 3 females with nystagmus and low vision. Median binocular BCVA was 0.46 LogMar. Initial binocular median CS was 1.12 Log CS and stereopsis mean was 275 arc7sec. Patients presented a stable refraction for at least 1 year before inclusion. Strabismic deviation was below 8Dp. Patients who were not able to pass the calibration of RV, who suffered from diabetes, epilepsy, migraine, concentration problems, diplopia, and pregnant women, were excluded from the study. Each patient followed a protocol according to the following schedule: T0 baseline/enrolment including the recording of the following data: BCVA at both distance and near, Reading speed (words per minute), Eyesight examination, Stereo test (random dot test II), extraocular movement, cover test at near and distance, contrast sensitivity measurement using the Pelli Robson charts; T1 after 10 sessions; T2 after 20 sessions; T3 at the end of treatment of 50 sessions, reaching and stabilization of plateau. At each stage, the following data were measured: BCVA at both distance and near, CS and stereo test. Following a series of precautions (e.g., a distance of 1 m from the screen, dark room, absence of distracting elements), patients accomplished their personalized exercises at home on their own computer on alternate days with no interruption for a period longer than 15 days. Results: At the end of the treatment, median binocular sensitivity contrast was 1.67 logCS, median binocular BCVA was 0.27 logMar and stereopsis mean was 255 arc/sec. Three patients interrupted the training. All patients reported subjective improvement in their functional vision. Conclusions: The functional training using RevitalVision appears to be a valid method of functional visual enhancement also in patients with a high visual impairment. 91 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P60 P61 SEMI-STRUCTURED OBSERVATIONS OF EYE SCREENING AND THE PROCEDURE OF REVISION OF THE VISION SCREENING GUIDELINE IN THE NETHERLANDS Sami, Aya; Karaman, Hatice; Sloot, Frea; Simonsz, Herb Erasmus Medical Center Ophthalmology, NETHERLANDS STRABISMUS AFTER ORBITAL ENDOSCOPIC DECOMPRESSION IN PATIENTS WITH THYROID ORBITOPATHY Samsel, Agnieszka; Jabłońska, Anna; Białas-Niedziela, Dorota; Krzeski, Antoni; Kęcik, Dariusz Children’s Hospital, Warsaw Department Of Ophthalmology, POLAND Across Europe, inequity exists in the provision of childhood vision screening. Most European countries have screening programmes, but they vary with regard to age and frequency of testing, tests used, uptake, screening professionals, referral pathway and funding. In the Netherlands, screening physicians and nurses screen all children, with 98-99% coverage, at Child Health Care Centers, for all kinds of developmental disorders and diseases. This is a very efficient system: One minute of examination time of all 180,000 children born in the Netherlands costs € 400,000 (2003 data). Visual acuity has been measured at age 3 - 5 since the 60s. The children are also examined at the age of 1 and 3 months for congenital eye disorders. In the 80s several examinations have been added between the ages of 6 and 24 months: inspection of the eyes, pupillary reflexes, Hirschberg test, cover test, motility and pursuit movements. During our (AS & HK) bachelor study of orthoptics, we assessed the quality of the eye screening tests with semi-structured observations of Youth Health Care doctors screening children during a total of 100 days. In general, visual acuity was measured well, but pupillary reflexes and the orthoptic tests were not performed with sufficient quality in many cases due to various reasons. Since April 1st, we now participate in the revision of the national guideline for vision screening in the Netherlands. We cannot report on the results of that revision, but will report on the procedure that is being followed and on the assistance that being is given to this process by the first author (AS) as a research-orthoptist. 92 Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence of eye motility problems and diplopia in patients with thyroid orbitopathy after endoscopic orbital decompression. Material and method: (9 males, 15 females) ( 42 orbits), aged 31-76years, underwent endoscopic orbital decompression in the period between November 2011 and January 2016. In 15 patients orbitopathy was active, in 9 - inactive. Orbital endoscopic decompression was performed due to dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) in 18 patients, proptosis - in 6 patients. The follow-up was from 3 to 48 months. Eye motility and diplopia before and after operation and treatment options for diplopia were analysed. Results: Constant diplopia in the primary position preoperatively was observed in 7 (29%) patients. After the operation new onset diplopia in the primary gaze was seen in 7 (29%) patients, worsening of diplopia to constant was noted in 6 ( 25%) patients, with significant increase of esotropia. 9 patients underwent strabismus surgery (7 with diplopia worsening or occuring after decompression), 4 patients needed prism glasses for diplopia. Partial or complete resolving of diplopia was observed in 4 cases. Conclusions: Strabismus with diplopia after endoscopic orbital decompression is a significant problem. In most of cases with diplopia subsequent eye muscle surgery is required. ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P62 P63 ATYPICAL CASE OF OCULAR MYASTHENIA GRAVIS Sari, Ayca; Dinc, Erdem; Okuyaz, Cetin; Ecel, Mahmut Mersin University Medical School Dept. of Ophthalmology, TURKEY MINIMAL EXPOSITION OF TEST-OBJECT RECOGNITION IN CHILDREN WITH EMMETROPIA, ANOMALIES OF REFRACTION, AND AMBLYOPIA Serdiuchenko, Vira; Zheliznyk, Mariia The Filatov Instirute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy Ophthalmology, UKRAINE Purpose: To discuss an unusual case of childhood ocular Myasthenia Gravis presented with bilateral total external ophthalmoplegia. Method: A 5.5 years old boy complaining diplopia, dizziness and unsteady gait for 3 days was referred to our clinic with a possible diagnosis of intracranial tumor. The ophthalmological examination was remarkable for bilateral cranial 3rd, 4th and 6th nerve palsies with left ptosis and mydriasis. The best corrected visual acuity was 20/32 in the right eye and 20/25 in the left eye. The anterior and posterior segment findings were normal. He did not complain about fatique, difficulty in swallowing or motor weakness. Results: Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was normal. His neurological examination and blood tests resulted in the diagnosis of Ocular Myasthenia Gravis (OMG). His eye movements dramatically responded to oral Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. His complaints and clinical findings regressed completely in the 5th day of the treatment. He had no relapse of symptoms during the 6 months follow up. Conclusion: Ocular myasthenia gravis is the majority of childhood MG cases and solely effects eye muscles, causing diplopia, strabismus, ptosis or ophthalmoplegia. Total bilateral ophthalmoplegia is quite a rare type of presentation and brain stem tumors, vascular malformations should be excluded initially. As almost half of the cases possibly will progress to generalized form of MG and early treatment is essential for the prognosis; it is important to be aware that any atypical extraocular eye movements might occur as a result of MG. Purpose: To investigate the minimal exposition of test-object recognition (METOR) in children with emmetropia, anomalies of refraction and amblyopia. Methods: METOR was investigated in 127 children 7-13 y/o (23 children with emmetropia and normal visual acuity (VA), 48 - with anomalies of refraction and normal VA with correction, 56 - with different kinds of amblyopia). The investigation was conducted with help of special electronic device. Test-object (ring of Landolt), with size 8 angle minutes, with one of 8 different directions of rupture, was showed in different expositions, from 1 millisecond (ms), with step 1 ms. Results: The value of METOR in monocular and binocular investigation was accordingly: in emmetropia – 7,8±1,1 ms and 6,0±0,8 ms, in hyperopia 1,5-4,5 D – 14,9±1,3 ms and 11,8±1,1 ms, in myopia 1,0-4,0 D – 7,9±1,0 ms and 6,9±1,0 ms. The value of METOR in 21 patients with refractive amblyopia and hyperopia (VA with correction 0,3-0,7) equalized 130,0±17,4 ms in monocular and 56,0±8,9 ms in binocular investigation. Monocular METOR in 13 patients with anisometropic amblyopia and hyperopia (VA with correction 0,4-0,8) was equal 50,5±8,6 ms. In 22 children with dysbinocular amblyopia (VA 0,2-0,35) monocular METOR was 112,5±15,8 ms. Conclusion: It was revealed the tendency to diminution of binocular METOR in comparison with monocular METOR in children with emmetropia, with anomalies of refraction and normal VA, with refractive amblyopia without strabismus. It was established prolonged time of test-objects recognition in children with different kinds of amblyopia. 93 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P64 P65 SOME CLINICAL FEATURES OF OCULOMOTOR DISTURBANCES AT A-V-X SYNDROMES Serdiuchenko, Vira; Yemchenko, Victor The Filatov Instirute of Eye Diseases and Tissue Therapy Ophthalmology, UKRAINE ELECTROPHYSIOLOGICAL EXAMINATIONS FOR OBJECTIVE EVALUATION OF THE BINOCULARITY AND THE DEVIATION OF THE VISUAL AXIS IN YOUNG CHILDREN WITH STRABISMUS Sohar, Nicolette; JAnossy, Agnes; Janaky, Marta University of Szeged Department of Ophthalmology, HUNGARY Aim: To investigate the clinical features of oculomotor disturbances at A-V-X syndromes.

Results: A,V and X syndromes respectively occurred at a frequency of 14.3%, 83% and 2.7%. The value of the syndrome is defined by the difference between the values of the deviation when patient look up and down. When A syndrome is the most common value of 15˚ and 20˚ ( respectively 22.2% and 31.5%), and V- syndrome - also the value of 15˚ and 20˚ ( respectively 36.6% and 23.3%), when X syndrome - 20˚, 25˚ and 30˚ ( by 26.7%). The majority of patients (92.2%) had A-V-X syndrome associated with horizontal deviation. In case of A-syndrome eso - and exodeviation observed respectively in 43.8% and 48.8% of cases; X syndrome - respectively 40% and 33.3%; at V- syndrome esotropia predominated (74.6%). Related vertical deviation investigated in 19.3% of cases ( hypertropia 13% of patients , hypotropia - at 6.3%). Cyclotropia was detected in 35.9% of patients ( excyclotropia at 30.1%, incyclotropia - at 5.8%). Muscle dysfunction of cyclovertical action 1-4 degrees (vertical deviation change at eye moving horizontally) were quite frequent at A, V, and X syndromes; the most frequent muscle dysfunction were oblique muscles: the inferior oblique - respectively , at 31.9%, 64.2%, 93.3% of patients , the superior oblique - respectively , at 81.2%, 50.8%, 96.7%. Conclusion: A-V-X syndromes - difficult oculomotor disturbances, requiring an individual approach to the rehabilitation of these patients. 94 Purpose: Objective evaluation of the function of the visual pathways, the level of binocularity, and the deviation of strabismus in young children with strabismus with the help of electrophysiological examination methods. Methods: After establishing the orthoptic status of twenty children aged between 0-18years of age, electrophysiological tests were ordered for the determination of the anatomical or functional causes of the abnormal visual loss. Ater 2 years of age monocular and binocular visual evoked potential (VEP)s were tested for the detection of the level of binocular facilitation. Cooperative children (above 3-4 years) were tested monocularly and binocularly by multifocal electroretinography (ERG) s, multifocal (mfERG) for excluding the central macular functional loss and for the objective determination of the deviation of the visual axis. All electrophysiological examinations were done according to the ISCEV stardards. The mfERG s were detected through DTL electrodes. Results: Among the examined children ten had strabismus caused by organic lesion of the strabismic eye. Existence of some binocular facilitation would be the basis of the continuation of the orthoptic treatment (in eight chidren). The monocular and binocular mfERG helped the exact determination of the deviation of the strabismic eye for the successful surgery (ten children). Conclusions: Electrophysiological examinations may help in reaching success in the orthoptic treatment in very young children, too. ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P66 P67 SIMILARITY OF THERAPEUTIC MECHANISM BETWEEN Y-SPLIT PROCEDURE AND POSTERIOR FIXATION FOR CORRECTING UPAND DOWNSHOOTS ON ADDUCTION IN DUANE SYNDROME Suh, Young-Woo; Choi, Soo-Youn; Jang, Sungmin; Ha, Suk-Gyu; Kim, Seoung-Hyun; Cho, Yoonae, A. Korea University College of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology, SOUTH KOREA IS THERE ANY CORRELATION BETWEEN INFERIOR OBLİQUE OVERACTION AND ASTIGMATISM? Sultan, Pinar; Gurkan, Sedat; Eltutar, Kadir; Erkul, Sezin O.; Osmanbasoglu, Ozen A; Ozdemir, Fatma E Istanbul Training and Research Hospital Ophthalmology, TURKEY Purpose: The Y-split procedure and posterior fixation suture in the lateral rectus muscle are effective for correcting up- and downshoots in Duane syndrome. Although mechanisms of the 2 procedures are different, it can become similar when adhesion occurs after Y-split procedure. This study was performed to investigate the amount of adhesion after Y-split procedure in the rectus muscle. Methods: Twenty-four eyes of 12 rabbits were included. The Y-spit procedure was performed in the superior rectus muscle (SR) of right eye. The central portion of the SR was split up to 10 mm from the insertion. The nasal and temporal muscle halves were sutured at the nasal and temporal ends of the SR insertion respectively. In the left eye, posterior fixation suture at 10 mm from insertion was performed. The amount of adhesion was evaluated 6 weeks after surgery. Results: The SR was attached to the sclera 9.18±0.62 mm from insertion after posterior fixation suture. The Y-split procedure also showed adhesion especially around split area and the length of adhesion was 7.33±0.33 mm from insertion. Although the range of adhesion was more posterior after posterior fixation suture, (P=0.002) the amount of adhesion after Y-split procedure was also larger than conventional rectus muscle surgery. After Y-split procedure, the proximal end of Y was adhered to the sclera in most cases. Conclusions: A large amount of adhesion including the proximal end of Y occurred after the Y-spit procedure. The therapeutic mechanism of Y-split procedure changes into that of posterior fixation suture when the entire nasal and temporal halves adhere to the sclera. Additional effort to reduce adhesion would be necessary for Y-split procedure. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between inferior oblique muscle overaction grade and astigmatism Methods: Clinical data from the records of 30 patients with inferior oblique overaction were searched retrospectively. All patients were given a detailed eye examination including the anterior and posterior segments. The refractive errors of all eyes were measured in a quiet room using table-top refractometer. We analyzed the demographics, characteristics of the patients and refraction (cylindrical and axis) .The axis component was converted into a vector representation for analysis. Patients were divided into two groups: those having unilateral inferior oblique overaction (unilateral inferior oblique group) and those having bilateral asimetrical inferior oblique overaction (bilateral inferior oblique group). In unilateral inferior oblique group each eye astigmatism values compared according to the inferior oblique muscle overaction and in bilateral inferior oblique group according to the degree of inferior oblique muscle overaction. Results: Sixty eyes of thirty patients with an average age of 12.09±5.77 years (range, 4-25 years) were included. There was no significant correlation between astigmatism and the inferior oblique overaction grade for both groups. Conclusions: According to this study inferior oblique muscle overaction did not increase astigmatism along the axis of the overacting muscle so it can be speculated that a mechanical force exerted by the inferior oblique muscle didn’t cause astigmatism. 95 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P68 ATYPICAL PRESENTATION OF CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE EXTERNAL OPHTHALMOPLEGIA Szigeti, Andrea; Maka, Erika; Vamos, Rita; Toth, Jeannette; Fodor, Magdolna; Hargitai, Janos; Szamosi, Anna; Nagy, Zoltán Zsolt Semmelweis University, Department of Ophthalmology, HUNGARY Purpose: Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) is a rare mitochondrial myopathy characterized by slowly progressive paralysis of the extraocular muscles. Patients usually experience bilateral ptosis before developing symmetric, multidirectional external ophthalmoplegia. Case report: A 33-year-old woman with a 12-year history of slowly progressive paralysis of the extraocular muscles and exotropia was referred to our institute. Every action of extraocular muscles was reduced in both eyes. She could not adduct and elevate and there was only a slight abduction and depression function in both eyes. The patient had no ptosis, neither exophthalmus. BCVA was 20/20 in both eyes. Slit lamp examination was normal. Dilated funduscopic examination revealed slight pigment disturbance at the retinal periphery. Visual field tests were normal. Electroretinography showed lower borderline scotopic b-wave amplitudes. Laboratory tests showed increased lactic acid and creatine phosphokinase values. Brain and orbital magnetic resonance scans were normal. Tensilon test excluded myasthenia gravis. We considered the case as CPEO clinically, and mitochondrial DNA analysis revealed a „common deletion” (nucleotid 8679-13447) of mtDNA. We performed resection of the medial rectus muscle on both sides. Histopathology showed an abnormal accumulation of enlarged mitochondria in the sarcolemma (so called „ragged red fibres”) with modified Mallory staining, which was further sustained by immunohistochemistry with antimitrochondrial antibody. Conclusions: Slowly progressive paralysis of the extraocular muscles in CPEO, although rarely, may develop without preliminary ptosis. In atypical cases the differential diagnosis is based on mutation analysis of mtDNA and demonstration of abnormal accumulation of enlarged mitochondria by histology and immunohistochemistry. 96 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P69 ANTERIOR AND NASAL TRANSPOSITION OF THE INFERIOR OBLIQUE MUSCLES Teodorescu, Luminita; Velcea, Irina OFTALMIX SOP Ophthalmology Clinic, București, ROMANIA Introduction: Anterior transposition of the inferior oblique (IOAT) muscle has been used for the treatment of inferior oblique overaction (IOOA) associated with dissociated vertical deviation (DVD). One risk of this surgical procedure is that it may cause an anti-elevation syndrome (AES), especially after “spread-out” or “bunch up” technique. Also, in patients with IOOA +3 and DVD, IOAT reduces the magnitude of DVD but IOOA may persist. Stager D.R. suggested that placing the new IO muscle insertion nasal and posterior to the nasal border of the IR rectus muscle: anterior and nasal transposition (IOANT), will convert the IO muscle from an extorter and elevator in adduction to an intorter and tonic depressor in adduction. Also, IOANT was proposed as primary surgery in patients with absent SO muscles. Methods: 7 patients with IOOA and DVD, 1 patient with superior oblique (SO) palsy, 1 case of absent SO muscle underwent ANTIO: the anterior fibers of the IO muscle were inserted 2 mm nasal and 2 mm posterior to the nasal border of the inferior rectus muscle. Results: DVD decreased from a mean value of 19,21 PD to 6,56 PD; in the case of absent SO muscle hypertropia decrease from 25 PD to 0. However, a poor result was noted in a patient with SO palsy and large hypertropia. Conclusions: IOANT converts the IO muscle into an intorter and tonic depressor. In our patients it significantly reduced DVD magnitude and globe elevation in adduction. This procedure seems particularly useful in cases of absent SO muscle. 97 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P70 P71 THE INFLUENCE OF ANTI-VEGF TREATMENT ON BINOCULAR VISION IN PATIENTS WITH AGERELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION Uzdrowska, Marta1; Bilińska, Ewa2; Broniarczyk-Loba, Anna1 1 Department of Binocular Vision Pathophysiology and Strabismus, Medical University of Lodz, Lodz, POLAND 2 Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital No.1, Medical University of Lodz, Lodz, POLAND PREVALENCE OF OCULOMOTOR ABNORMALITIES IN PATIENTS SEEN AT A UNIVERSITY- BASED HOSPITAL LOW VISION SERVICE IN BRAZIL Vasconcelos, Galton Carvalho; Fernandes, Luciene Chaves; Moura, Sarah Rogeria Martins; Lima, Ana Luiza Avelar Morais Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG) Ophthalmology and ENT department, BRAZIL Purpose: The aim of this research was to assess the quality of binocular vision in patients with age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), as well as to evaluate the influence of treatment on binocularity in these patients and on their subjective assessment of life quality. Method: Subjective assessment of visual acuity, simultaneous perception, fusion and stereopsis was conducted before anti-VEGF treatment and after the third intravitreal injection in a group of patients with neovascular ARMD. Results: The results of the study present two subgroups of patients: a bigger one with partially preserved binocular vision and a smaller one with suppression. After the treatment the general number of patients with partially preserved binocular vision increased. However, some patients with supression gained at least simultaneous perception after the treatment, whereas some patients with partially preserved binocular vision lost it after the therapy. Improvement of visual acuity in the treated eye was equivalent neither to improvement of binocular vision quality, nor to subjective quality of life in patients after the therapy. Conclusion: Impairment of central vision in ARMD does not influence all levels of binocular vision in patients. The anti-VEGF therapy has a significant impact on binocular vision status in treated patients. However, changes in binocularity cannot be predicted solely on the basis of visual acuity before and after treatment. Therefore a standard vision examination in patients treated with anti-VEGF agents should be extended by binocular vision evaluation. This could help in arranging rehabilitation for these patients and might improve their quality of life. 98 Purpose: To assess the prevalence and characteristics of oculomotor abnormalities in patients with low vision, a crosssectional study was performed in 24 selected patients of the low vision sector at Hospital São Geraldo HC, UFMG, from June to December 2014. In addition to routine eye examination, all patients underwent motor evaluation of strabismus. Deviations were characterized as Esotropia, Exotropia and Hipertropia, measured by Krimsky and classified according to their magnitude in small, medium and large angles. The type of fixation was identified using a visuscope and classified as central or eccentric. Results: 24 patients met the inclusion criteria: age varied from 8-64 years old, 66.6% we’re female. 17 patients had strabismus (70.8%), 11 with exotropia (45.8%), 6 with esotropia (25.0%) and 3 (12.5%) vertical deviations associated to horizontal component As for the deviation angle, 76.5% were small to moderate and 23.5% had greater or equal deviation than 40 PD. The presence of nystagmus was observed in 14 patients (58.3%). Only 4 (12.1% had centric fixation located in the fovea. Conclusion: The prevalence of strabismus and nystagmus in patients with low vision was high, Exotropia being more frequent than exotropia. Most patients showed eccentric fixation. Thus, we consider highly relevant to include careful oculomotor examination in the evaluation of low vision patients, before prescribing glasses and/or adding low vision aids, which may help in better functional response understanding in visual rehabilitation.

Methods: We report a 5-year-old girl affected by Moebius syndrome with absolute amotility of both eyes, persistent esotropic strabismus fixus and amblyopia. From early childhood she got amblyogenic treatment and at the age of 5, she underwent a squint surgery. We evaluated and analyzed BCVA (best corrected visual acuity), binocularity, motility of the eyes and the squint angle pre- and postoperatively in a follow up time of 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 1 year. Results: From the age of 6 months she was regularly observed and in timeframes of 3 months got an adequate alternated amblyogenic treatment with eye patches. BCVA reached at the age of 3 years 1.0 on both eyes and remained stable during all the follow up time. Binocular vision could not be restored. One week after surgery, squint deviation was significantly reduced, the deviation angle was estimated by Krimsky test, it was under 5º and remained stable during the follow up time. Horizontal motility of the eyes improved slightly, but vertical movements were still reduced. Conclusions: Surgical management of restrictive squint in Moebius syndrome represents a difficult treatment challenge, but accurate operative procedures and amblyogenic treatment would improve vision and patient’s quality of life. Purpose: To evaluate the result of strabismus surgery in patient with exotropia from bilateral INO in acute pons infarction. Case: 65 years old male patient who had a history of acute cerebral infarction in left postero-lateral pons visited out-patient clinic. After infarction, constant diplopia developed especially in horizontal gaze. Pre-operative alignment by APCT showed exotropia with 90 prism diopters(PD) on the left eye at both distant and near fixation. He had -4 graded adductive limitation on the both eye (from -1 to -4, -1 indicating minimal limitation and -4 indicating marked limitation). Convergence power was minimally impaired and there was jerky nystagmus in abducting eye. Initially, the patient underwent medial rectus(MR) resection of 7 mm and a lateral rectus(LR) hang-back recession of 10 mm on the left eye. After surgery, exotropia on the right eye turned to be more prominent. Alignment by APCT was 45 PD on the right eye, adductive movement limitation was graded as -1 on the left eye. 3 months later, He underwent MR resection of 6 mm and LR hang-back recession of 8 mm on the right eye. 3 months after two-staged operation, the patient showed no diplopia, improved abducting nystagmus and measured nearly orthotropic at distant and near fixation. Limitation of adductive movement was graded as -1 on the both eye. Conclusion: Our result suggests that two-staged unilateral recession-resection surgery should be considered in patients with large exotropia in bilateral INO 99 ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P74 P075 ARE WE OVERLOOKING MASKED BILATERAL CONGENITAL SUPERIOR OBLIQUE PALSY IN CHILDREN AND IS IT EASY TO DIAGNOSE BEFORE SURGERY?

Department of Ophthalmology, Seonam University, College of Medicine, Myongji Hospital, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea 2. Department of Ophthalmology, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea Purpose: To determine the frequency of patients who had subsequent contralateral inferior oblique overaction (IOOA) after strabismus surgery for unilateral congenital superior oblique palsy and to identify suggestive clinical features for masked bilateral fourth nerve palsy. Methods: The medical records of children who underwent inferior oblique tenotomy as a single procedure for unilateral superior oblique palsy were all reviewed. Diagnosis was based on evaluation of ocular misalignment in 9 diagnostic gaze positions and presence of abnormal head position. Results: The study was conducted with 29 children (15 girls, 14 boys). All patients had unilateral (IOOA) and superior oblique underaction. Eleven patients (37.9%) had hyperdeviation with esodeviation of the affected eye while others (62.1%) had hyperdeviation and exodeviation. The mean age at surgery was 6.66±1.87 (4 to 10) years. The mean horizontal-vertical deviations and the amount of IOOA were decreased postoperatively (p<0.001 for all). Of the 29 patients, 22 had no residual IOOA, 2 had IOOA, 5 had inferior oblique underaction (IOUA) on the operated eye at last visit. Three patients (10.3%) had contralateral IOOA and hyperdeviation at last visit, one of whom had IOUA on the operated eye. There was no difference on preoperative features between patients with or without subsequent contralateral IOOA. Conclusion: Bilateral superior oblique palsy may be overlooked and should always be kept in mind in cases with unilateral pathology. Particular care in testing and higher index of suspicion are required to detect bilaterality especially for children. 100 Presenting Author Kim, Dae Hee, MD E-mail: [email protected] Purpose: To investigate the differences of fundus torsion between congenital and acquired unilateral superior oblique palsy. (USOP) Methods: The retrospective review of medical records and fundus photographs for a total of 157 patients diagnosed with USOP was performed. Quantitative (disc-fovea angle; DFA) and qualitative data (extorsion only in the paretic eye, only in the fellow eye and in both eyes / no extorsion) of fundus torsion was collected. Comparison between congenital and acquired USOP was performed. Results: Ninety patients had congenital, and another 67 patients had acquired etiology. In the paretic eyes, the size of DFA showed no significant difference between the two groups. In the non-paretic fellow eyes, by contrast, the size of DFA was significantly larger in congenital than acquired USOP group. In addition, regarding the frequency of the fundus extorsion in these fellow eyes, the congenital group disclosed it more frequently than the acquired group. Conclusion: The patients with congenital USOP showed more frequent fundus extorsion in the non-paretic fellow eyes than those with acquired USOP. Significant differences were found between congenital and acquired superior oblique palsy in terms of the amount as well as the frequency of fundus torsion in the nonparetic fellow eyes, although that is not the case in the paretic eyes. Fundus torsional data may be helpful in discriminating congenital and acquired USOP. ABSTRACTS: POSTERS P76 ANALYSIS ON A NEW SCALE FOR ASSESSING THE LEVEL OF CONTROL IN INTERMITTENT EXOTROPIA BASED ON OBJECTIVE FINDINGS Hyuna Kim, MD, Dae Hee Kim, MD, Hyosook Ahn, MD, PhD, Hyun Taek Lim, MD, PhD Department of Ophthalmology, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea Purpose: To prospectively evaluate a new scale for assessing the level of control in children with intermittent exotropia based on objective findings, consists of 2 sessions of determining whether exotropia was manifested or not for 10 seconds. Methods: A total of 10 children with intermittent exotropia were evaluated by a new scale to assess the level of control for both distance and near fixation. Each examination was recorded and rated individually by 6 ophthalmologists using computer-based assessment program. The distance score (0 to 4) was combined with the near score (0 to 4) to yield an overall control score from 0 to 8. The inter-observer reliability of 6 raters was evaluated. Results: The mean age of enrolled patients was 6.0 ± 2.8 years and mean deviation was 23.8 ± 7.3 prism diopters (PD) at distance, 24.1 ± 7.5 PD at near. The median score at distance (3) was worse than at near (1). A bimodal distribution was presented in overall control score (median of 4). Inter-observer agreement at distance and near were moderate (Kappa= 0.481 and Kappa=0.551 respectively). Conclusions: This new scale for assessing control in children with intermittent exotropia is a reliable method which can be easily applied, requires only 1 minute for each patient in the office setting. 101 AUTHORS INDEX Name Page A Abu-Amero, Khaled K Adams, Gill Agagulyan, Satenik Agin, Abdullah Ahn, Hyosook Akar, Serpil Akca Bayar, Sezin Alan, Aydin Alarcón Tomás, María Alenazy, Badriah R
