Br J Ophthalmol. 2016 Nov;100(11):1451-1454. doi: 10.1136/bjophthalmol-2016-309194. Epub 2016 Aug 29.

Abstract

Strabismus in Duane retraction syndrome is frequently associated with significant globe retraction and overshoots. However, there is no method to objectively grade retraction and overshoot. Our purpose is to describe a novel objective grading method. This novel and simple grading method has excellent agreement. It will help standardise measurements and guide the clinician in taking the decision for surgery and predicting its outcome.
