Background: To evaluate ocular complications of strabismus surgery at the Department of Strabismus and Neuroophthalmology in our clinic. Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent strabismus surgery between March 1999 and February 2013 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with minor ocular complications such as wound irregularities, conjunctivitis, subconjunctival hemorrhage, and less than six-month follow-up periods were excluded from the study. Employed strabismus surgeries included recessions, resections, muscle advancements, inferior oblique myectomies, and muscle transpositions. Results: Our case series are comprised of 1468 patients who underwent strabismus surgery. The ages of the patients ranged from 6 to 80 years. Recognized primary ocular complications were noted in eight patients (0.5%). Scleral perforation with retinal break was observed in one myopic patient during retrobulbar anesthesia. Medial rectus rupture occurred during medial rectus recession in one patient with chronic complete sixth nerve palsy. Conjunctival cyst occured postoperatively in one patient with partially refractive accommodative esotropia who had bilateral medial rectus recession. Corneal dellen developed postoperatively in five patients with exotropia. Conclusion: Ocular complications of strabismus surgery are usually treatable. Damage to ocular structures can be prevented by meticulous surgical approach. Close postoperative follow-up is required in all cases.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...
