In a clinical study the subjective acceptance as well as the quality of different visual functions was examined during the wearing of three multifocal lenses (Ciba Spectrum Bifocal, Allergan Echelon, and Essilor Variations). Ten subjects wore each of the 3 contact lens types for a period of 12 to 21 days after the binocular finding (bicentral or disparate vision within the Panum's area); further functions such as contrast or scotopic vision were qualified and/or quantified in a basic examination. All subjects (N = 5) with the binocular finding orthophoria/motorcompensated heterophoria preferred the Ciba Spectrum Bifocal. Furthermore, all visual functions of the 10 test persons were clearly reduced with all 3 multifocal contact lenses. A correlation between the "preferred contact lens and the detailed subjective acceptance" and/or the "subjective acceptance and the functional measurements" could not be proven as statistically significant.

A 17-year-old female was treated with botulinum toxin (botulinum toxin type A, Allergan) for a left convergent squint. She returned 1 week after her second injection and informed us that she found out she was pregnant 3 days after the second injection. After a long worrying 9 months, her pregnancy fortunately proceeded to term with no adverse effect on both mother and baby. A literature review reassuringly suggests that it is a relatively safe treatment with no adverse effects on the expectant mother or the fetus. Up to 300 units of botulinum toxin have been used at various stages of pregnancy without adverse effects.
