Adjustable Strabismus Surgery

Adjustable Strabismus Surgery

Strabismus, whether congenital or acquired, is a common visual and cosmetic problem, especially for the young. Adjustable suture strabismus surgery is not in vogue in our country. This technique gives the surgeon a second attempt to provide a better outcome for the patients.

Horizontal, vertical and complex strabismus cases (sensory, paralytic, nystagmus, monocular elevation deficit and dissociated vertical/horizontal deviation) were included, along with patients with a previous history of strabismus surgery.

Myasthenia gravis was excluded along with noncooperative children; less than 7 years of age. Those who did not return for a one year follow up also had to be excluded.
