Item Management of Duane retraction syndrome with prismatic glasses(2017) Akar, Serpil; Aygit, Ebru Demet; Kocamaz, Murat; Fazil, Korhan; Ocak, Osman Bulut; Gokyigit, Birsen; 0000-0001-6442-250X; 28442887; AAK-6325-2021Purpose: To report the results of using prismatic glasses for Duane retraction syndrome (DRS). Methods: Data were obtained from the records of patients who were evaluated during the year 2000 in the Strabismus Unit of the Beyoglu Eye Training and Research Hospital. The average follow-up was 12.2 +/- 17.7 months. In all cases, 2 main variables were evaluated: horizontal deviation in the primary position and face turn. Prismatic glasses were provided to patients according to the degree of shift in the primary position. Results: The mean age of patients was 11.2 years. An analysis was performed on the data collected from 12 cases; 7 patients were females (58.3%) and 5 were males (41.7%), with 11 (91.7%) cases being of type I DRS. All 12 patients had abnormal head posture (face turn) and an angle of mean deviation equaling 10 PD (prism dioptri). Conclusion: Treatment was individualized on a case-by-case basis. Prismatic glasses are useful for eliminating abnormal head posture and ocular misalignment in selected cases.
