title: Clinical problems in strabismus: the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute symposium.
abstract: The Smith Kettlewell Eye Research Institute (SKERI), celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2014, hosted a symposium to identify the most pressing clinical problems in strabismus and binocular vision. Forty-five experts from around the world shared their perspectives at the San Francisco meeting, held November 6-9, 2012. Prior to the meeting, the organizers (TR, APW, RH, JB, AJ) asked attendees to identify the most pressing clinical problems in strabismus and to discuss them in a workshop-based format. The clinical problems were organized into the following six areas: (1) esotropias; (2) binocular vision: amblyopia, suppression, and diplopia; (3) intermittent exotropia; (4) "oblique dysfunctions"; (5) dissociated vertical deviation (DVD); and (6) new approaches to strabismus management. Herein we highlight of some of the clinical problems discussed at the meeting.
