Reduction of Consecutive Esotropia Using Modified Contralateral Recession and Resection for Recurrent Intermittent Exotropia.
To report consecutive esotropia in contralateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection for recurrent intermittent exotropia after unilateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection and to evaluate the surgical outcome of modified contralateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection for exotropia after unilateral lateral rectus recession and medial rectus resection. ⋯ Final outcomes were better in the modified group compared to the conventional group. Consecutive esotropia was significantly more frequent in the conventional group than in the modified group. In surgery for recurrent exotropia, a reduction of the surgical dosage will reduce the incidence of consecutive esotropia. [J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 2018;55(1):53-58.].

Case ReportsNon-invasive Respiratory Support and Severe Retinopathy of Prematurity.
The authors describe two premature infants who developed stage 3, zone I retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with plus disease in both eyes, despite limited exposure to supra-ambient oxygen. Both infants received noninvasive respiratory support for several weeks. ⋯ These cases are insufficient to make definitive conclusions regarding the factors that cause ROP. Further investigation is required to determine if there is an association between the use of non-invasive respiratory support, even in the absence of supra-ambient oxygen, and severe ROP development.

Instructions to Patients and Families Following Strabismus Surgery.
To analyze postoperative instructions provided to patients and families after strabismus surgery. ⋯ Overall, the responses indicated a high regard among AAPOS members for promoting normal healing and prevention of infection and other postoperative complications; however, certain trends, such as the recommendation regarding normal showering, may intimate a lack of further infection prevention.
