  2. Esotropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esotropia

    Treatment options for esotropia include glasses to correct refractive errors (see accommodative esotropia below), the use of prisms, orthoptic exercises, or eye muscle surgery. The term is from Greek eso meaning "inward" and trope meaning "a turning".

  3. Duane syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_syndrome

    Brown (1950) has classified Duane's syndrome according to the characteristics of the limitation of movement-. Type C: the limitation of adduction exceeds the limitation of abduction. There is an exotropic deviation and a head turn to compensate the loss of adduction.

  4. Prism correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prism_correction

    The most common application for this is the treatment of strabismus. By moving the image in front of the deviated eye, double vision can be avoided and comfortable binocular vision can be achieved. Other applications include yoked prism where the image is shifted an equal amount in each eye.

  5. Osteogenesis imperfecta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteogenesis_imperfecta

    Osteogenesis imperfecta ( IPA: / ˌɒstioʊˈdʒɛnəsɪs ˌɪmpɜːrˈfɛktə /; [4] OI ), colloquially known as brittle bone disease, is a group of genetic disorders that all result in bones that break easily. [1] : 85 [9] The range of symptoms—on the skeleton as well as on the body's other organs —may be mild to severe.

  6. Senile osteoporosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senile_osteoporosis

    These complications can include a more than doubled risk increase for future fractures and a lower quality of life resulting from chronic pain or disability, sometimes needing long-term nursing care. Depending on the site, pathologic fractures can also increase relative mortality risk.

  7. Anisometropia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisometropia

    More specifically, for patients with esotropia who undergo strabismus surgery, anisometropia may be one of the risk factors for developing consecutive exotropia and poor binocular function may be a risk factor for anisometropia to develop or increase.

    For me, it only took four years, two hospitalizations, six lung collapses, major surgery and my own self-advocacy. More importantly, my lung has not collapsed in three years. No one knows you but you.

  9. Esophoria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esophoria

    Esophoria is an eye condition involving inward deviation of the eye, usually due to extra-ocular muscle imbalance. It is a type of heterophoria. Cause. Causes include: Refractive errors; Divergence insufficiency; Convergence excess; this can be due to nerve, muscle, congenital or mechanical anomalies.

    Additionally, the following side effects have all been reported by patients: Chronic muscular pain, numbness and weakness of the limbs, Horner's Syndrome, anhidrosis (inability to sweat), hyperthermia (exacerbated by anhidrosis and systemic thermoregulatory dysfunction), neuralgia, paraesthesia, fatigue and amotivationality, breathing ...

  11. Steroid-induced osteoporosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steroid-induced_osteoporosis

    Steroid-induced osteoporosis is osteoporosis arising from the use of glucocorticoids (a class of steroid hormones) analogous to Cushing's syndrome but involving mainly the axial skeleton. The synthetic glucocorticoid prescription drug prednisone is a main candidate after prolonged intake.
