Case ReportsAcute esotropia in heroin withdrawal: a case series.
Esotropia during opiate withdrawal is a new clinical syndrome that has only recently been reported in the literature. ⋯ The precise cause of esotropia with heroin withdrawal is uncertain. Most (and possibly all) of these patients have one or more objective strabismogenic features, and these are probably a large factor in the causation.

Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical TrialThe effect of induced muscle tension and fatigue on the oculocardiac reflex.
We investigated surgeon-modified factors in the oculocardiac reflex (OCR) including repeating tension after return to baseline pulse (fatigue) or modifying the tension place on the extraocular muscle (EOM). ⋯ A surgeon can reduce oculocardiac reflex by exerting very gentle 50 gram tension on the EOM or waiting for return to baseline heart rate before fatiguing the reflex. These reductions are of less clinical value than pharmacologic intervention.
