Abstract

Recently, the size of the globe has been considered to be an important factor in determining the amount of correction in strabismus surgery. We operated on 88 cases of basic exotropia after measuring the axial length using A-scan ultrasonography. The amount of correction was calculated from the axial length and angle of deviation in each case. At least 2 months postoperatively, 77 cases(87%) had less than 10 prism diopters eso or exodeviation. Favorable results can be expected by introducing the size of the globe in determining the amount of correction in strabismus surgery.
