ABSTRACT
Anisometropic and strabismic amblyopes were studied using the Regan Contrast Sensitivity Charts. At all levels of contrast, the amblyopic eyes of both the strabismic and anisometropic patients scored significantly lower than did their fellow normal eyes, which were used as controls. In comparing the differences between the normal and amblyopic eyes of both groups, we noted a normalization of the visual function of strabismic amblyopes at low contrast. This feature was not observed in the anisometropic amblyopes who consistently scored poorly when viewing either the high or low contrast chart.

Ophthalmoplegia occurs infrequently in herpes zoster ophthalmicus. The third nerve appears to be the most commonly affected and the fourth nerve the least. We describe herein the clinical course of six patients with herpes zoster ophthalmoplegia. Spontaneous recovery occurred in four patients. The pathogenesis and clinical features of this syndrome are described.
