    Orthoptik, Universitäts Augenklinik Essen
    Klin Monbl Augenheilkd 228:432-8. 2011

    A Eckstein
    Augenklinik, Universitatsklinikum Essen
    Klin Monbl Augenheilkd 224:507-10. 2007
    ..The follow-up should not only contain visual acuity measurements but also cycloplegic refraction. Especially when pupil-dilating drugs are necessary for a longer period, bifocals should be prescribed...

    Horm Metab Res 41:456-64. 2009

    A K Eckstein
    Department of Ophthalmology, Essen University Hospital, Essen, Germany
    Br J Ophthalmol 88:803-8. 2004
