Paralyses of accommodation are safely diagnosticizable even in patients over 45 years of age provided there is no complete presbyopia. The identification can be a key to diagnosing the entire disease pattern. In one case a suspected Adie's syndrome with amblyopia and without any connection with internment and damage due to malnutrition was identified as ophthalmoplegia interna with partial atrophy of the n. opticus, most probably caused by malnutrition encephalopathy or encephalitis. In another patient, a bilateral isolated accommodation paralysis indicated damage of the accommodation center during concussion of the brain (possibly only a functional damage).

The atypical clinical presentations of three patients with an oculomotor (III) nerve palsy are outlined. The first patient is a 49-year-old with a painful, pupil-sparing ophthalmoplegia of sudden onset due to a pituitary adenoma which had eroded into the cavernous sinus. The second patient is a 7-year-old with a traumatic III nerve palsy who despite full recovery of her oculomotility, has been symptomatic due to a permanent internal ophthalmoplegia. The third patient is an 8-year-old who has undergone prolonged optometric therapy for an "atypical esotropia," but in fact has a congenital III nerve palsy with oculomotor synkinesis and deep amblyopia.

In the recent pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus literature, there have been some important papers. Topics have included ocular outcomes in children born before 32 weeks of gestation, a practical correlate of Teller visual acuities and visual behavior in a real environment in a severely handicapped child, and a debate on the indications and efficacy of population screening for amblyopia. New information on the creation of refractive errors by earlier eyelid closure than used previously and a new torsionometer represent new sensory information. New information about motor adaptations in strabismus includes a new evaluation of saccade disconjugacy in deep amblyopia and in anisometropia. Spasmus nutans may be a long-term rather than a self-limiting disease, and the debate on neuroimaging in this condition has been evaluated. A subtle predictor of outcome in the surgical treatment of partially accommodative esotropia is presented, as well as an important case report on the treatment of a metabolic cause of strabismus in chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia with coenzyme Q10. Finally, some information is presented on the treatment of hereditary retinal dystrophies with nonautologous retinal pigment epithelial cell transplants to the subretinal space of the dystrophic retina-the first experimental model of a successful biologic treatment of which I am aware and a possible indicator of future trends in human disease.

The Heimann-Bielschowsky phenomenon (HBP) refers to coarse vertical oscillation of the eye with impaired vision. The ocular movements are strictly monocular, occurring only in the eye with amblyopia. The vertical oscillation is of equal velocity in both vertical directions, or may sometimes be greater in the downward than upward direction. HBP develops several years after loss of vision. It can be differentiated from dissociated nystagmus in spasmus nutans, congenital nystagmus and internuclear ophthalmoplegia based on the strict unilaterality, vertical direction and low frequency. Previously, only a few reports described the development of oscillopsia due to HBP after cataract surgery, which resolved spontaneously or responded to gabapentin. However, visual impairments due to diplopia or oscillopsia from HBP after cataract surgery have received little attention. We report a man who developed persistent vertical diplopia and oscillopsia due to HBP after a cataract operation, which markedly impaired his vision.

Based on the data from the Information Library of Acupuncture-Moxibustion of TCM, the bibliometric analysis was applied to analyze and evaluate the literature regarding clinical research of acupuncture for ophthalmopathy published between 1954 to 2016, hoping to objectively reflect the disease spectrum and indication of acupuncture for ophthalmopathy. The results showed that the disease spectrum of acupuncture for ophthalmopathy involved 47 specific diseases in 13 types of diseases. The total number of cases was 176 469, and the number of effective cases was 160 662, and the effective rate was 91.0%. The indication of acupuncture for ophthalmopathy included myopia, blepharoptosis and conjunctivitis. The commonly used indications were strabismus, dry eye and ophthalmoplegia, and the secondary indications were optic atrophy, blepharoptosis, oculomotor paralysis, blepharospasm, amblyopia. The most commonly used acupuncture points for ophthalmopathy were Cuanzhu (BL 2), Jingming (BL 1), Taiyang (EX-HN 5), and the most commonly used auricular points were yan (LO5), gan (CO12) and shen (CO10). As for the methods of acupoint combination, local acupoints were mainly selected, combined with distal acupoint to assist treatment.
