Some eye muscle disorders are due to genetic problems that are present at birth. Other times, an eye injury or another medical condition can result in the development of eye muscle disorders later in life. [nicklauschildrens.org]
If the strabismus has been present since early childhood, the symptoms are usually minimal. If it develops later, the most common symptom is double vision. [northbayeye.com]
Broken pursuit is a non-specific sign if present in both directions and may occur with fatigue and anticonvulsant drugs. [jnnp.bmj.com]
The tremor cannot be due to a non-medication condition that was present prior to starting the medication and cannot continue to be present following discontinuation of the medication. [minddisorders.com]

Progressive Ophthalmoplegia
Chronic progressive ophthalmoplegia or PEO tends to appear in adults between the ages of 18 and 40. Usually, it starts with drooping eyelids and difficulty controlling muscles that are normally used to coordinate the eyes. [belmarrahealth.com]

Diplopia
Is the diplopia monocular or binocular? Whether the diplopia is monocular or binocular should be determined first. [jnnp.bmj.com]
Neuro-Ophthalmology Diplopia – Double Vision Diplopia, also known as double vision, occurs in one of two ways. The double vision is either present with one eye open (monocular diplopia) or only with both eyes open (binocular diplopia). [eye.uci.edu]
What is the significance of horizontal diplopia (where the images are side-by-side) as opposed to vertical diplopia? Answer 4-5. [dartmouth.edu]
Strabismus can cause vision loss, trouble with depth perception, or double vision (which doctors call diplopia). [everydayhealth.com]

Small Eyes
Some developmental abnormalities include coloboma, microphthalmia (small eye), and optic nerve hypoplasia. These abnormalities often result in vision loss. [dmei.org]

Chronic Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia
Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia typically appears in adults between the ages of 18 and 40 years. [healthline.com]
Types of Ophthalmoplegia There are two different types of ophthalmoplegia: chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia and internal ophthalmoplegia (INO). [belmarrahealth.com]
A combination of ptosis, weakness of eyelid closure, and restricted eye movements is strongly suggestive of a myopathic cause such as chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO). [jnnp.bmj.com]

Oscillopsia
It can affect one eye or both, equally or unequally, and often results in oscillopsia. [jnnp.bmj.com]
Additionally, the child may complain of double vision (diplopia), jiggling vision (oscillopsia), or blurry vision. [pediatricweb.com]

Pendular Nystagmus
When the slow movement that takes the eye away from the target is followed by a fast phase, it is called jerk nystagmus, and if both phases have equal velocity, pendular nystagmus is observed. [jnnp.bmj.com]
Workup
Although a hypercoagulable workup may detect an abnormality, routine hematological workup may be unremarkable. Retinal vein occlusions are less common than arterial occlusions. [richmondeye.com]
Treatment
In fact, strabismus may get worse without treatment. Any child older than four months whose eyes do not appear to be straight all the time should be examined. [marioneye.com]
Actually, adults with strabismus have many different treatment options including: Eye exercises, Special glasses with prisms, BOTOX Cosmetic injections, Eye surgery. [northbayeye.com]
Potential treatment options for eye muscle disorders can include surgery, eye patches, muscle exercises or glasses. Some eye muscle disorders cannot be resolved, but they are controlled with glasses, patches. [nicklauschildrens.org]

Treatment of Convergence Insufficiency Treatments for CI can be categorized as active or passive: Active treatment : A multi-site randomized clinical trial funded by the National Eye Insitute has proven that the best treatment for convergence insufficiency [convergenceinsufficiency.org]
Prognosis
Person’s living with ophthalmoplegia have a positive prognosis and can live a normal life, but this is largely based on the underlying cause. If ophthalmoplegia is diagnosed early on prognosis improves and there is a reduced risk of complications. [belmarrahealth.com]
The underlying cause of your ophthalmoplegia will affect your overall prognosis. Genetic and mitochondrial diseases, a history of vascular disease or stroke, or genetic syndromes can vary your outlook drastically. [healthline.com]
Prognosis The prognoses for the early- and intermediate-onset of movement disorders are very good, especially with the option of switching the patient to a newer antipsychotic such as clozapine. [minddisorders.com]
Outlook (Prognosis) Eye muscle surgery does not fix the poor vision of a lazy (amblyopic) eye. Your child may have to wear glasses or a patch. In general, the younger a child is when the operation is performed, the better the result. [ufhealth.org]

Etiology
Involution of the intermuscular connective tissue septum between the lateral rectus and superior rectus is the etiology of the diplopia and strabismus in SES. [webeye.ophth.uiowa.edu]
Toxic effects from medications such as ethambutol are often suspected in the etiology of this disease, he said. A complete clinical evaluation is called for. [healio.com]
In my search of the literature, etiology is typically mentioned only when describing those cases excluded from a retrospective study. [vision-therapy-pa.com]

Maintaining proper eye alignment is important to avoid seeing double, for good depth perception, and to prevent the development of poor vision in the turned eye. When the eyes are misaligned, the brain receives two different images. [marioneye.com]
