Researchers have theorized that esotropia (an inward turn) was not found to be linked to a higher propensity for mental illness due to the age range of the participants, as well as the shorter follow-up time period; esotropic children were monitored to a mean age of 15.8 years, compared with 20.3 years for the exotropic group.

The handle is retractable and is located at the base of the instrument. This is where the patient holds the apparatus. The Eye Piece: Located anteriorly, the eye piece is where the patient looks into. The Eye-piece lens holder: Mainly used to hold lens for patients who have difficulties seeing the board with their glasses The Septa:
Heterophoria is an eye condition in which the directions that the eyes are pointing at rest position, when not performing binocular fusion, are not the same as each other, or, "not straight".
Yoked prism can move the image away from primary gaze without the need for a constant head tilt or turn. [1] Prism correction is measured in prism dioptres. A prescription that specifies prism correction will also specify the "base". The base is the thickest part of the lens and is opposite from the apex.
In a small-scale study, adults whose reading difficulties due to convergence insufficiency had been unsuccessfully addressed by convergence exercises, base-in prism glasses or strabismus surgery showed improved reading after botulinum toxin therapy, maintaining improved reading remaining also after six months.
If the prism's edges are perpendicular to the base, the lateral faces are rectangles, and the prism is called a right triangular prism. [3] This prism may also be considered a special case of a wedge. [4] 3D model of a (uniform) triangular prism. If the base is equilateral and the lateral faces are square, then the right triangular prism is ...
Duane syndrome is a congenital rare type of strabismus most commonly characterized by the inability of the eye to move outward. The syndrome was first described by ophthalmologists Jakob Stilling (1887) and Siegmund Türk (1896), and subsequently named after Alexander Duane, who discussed the disorder in more detail in 1905.
