Key Points

The study examines the outcomes of eye muscle surgery in improving visual and ocular motor functions in patients with achromatopsia and INS.
Evaluated patients with achromatopsia and INS undergoing eye muscle surgery.
Assessed both afferent and efferent measures of ocular motor functions pre- and post-surgery.
Analyzed improvements in visual functions following the procedure.
Patients exhibited significant improvements in ocular motor functions post-surgery.
Enhancements in visual functions were also observed following the surgical intervention.

Implication

Eye muscle surgery improves ocular motor and visual functions in patients with achromatopsia and INS, indicating potential surgical benefits.

Abstract

Achromatopsia has unique associations of a vertical AHP and dual-jerk INS waveforms. In spite of their associated retinal disease, patients with achromatopsia show improvements in many afferent and efferent measures of ocular motor and visual functions after eye muscle surgery for nystagmus.
