The strabismus unit is involved in a study of botulinum toxin in traumatic sixth nerve palsy and a study to determine the degree of binocular vision in patients with untreated infantile esotropia who are aligned as visual adults. The uveitis clinic is involved in a study assessing aqueous PCR levels in patients with Luetic disease and a prospective trial to establish the role of intravitreal corticosteroids in addition to antibiotics for endophthalmitis.
