Modern Tendencies in the Treatment of Strabismus in Children by E. Yu. Markova

“…A particularly difficult problem is forms of strabismus: paralytic, alphabetical (V, A, X) and other syndromes ( Duane, brown DVD, etc.) in which involved in the pathological process not only the muscles of the horizontal and vertical actions, but also one of the causes are functional disorders. In the syndrome of “V” and converging strabismus, the angle of deflection decreases when you look up and increases when looking down; in case of divergingstrabismus, the deviation is more when you look up and less when looking down. …”
