Abstract
The purpose of current study to evaluate the surgical outcomes of sensory strabismus. We retrospectively studied 7 consecutive patients who had undergone strabismus surgery for sensory strabismus. Patient age ranged from 14 to 48 years. Initial diagnoses were exotropia (n = 6) and esotropia (n = 1). In all patients, surgery was performed only on the affected eye. Initial types of operative procedures were muscle recession and muscle resection (n = 5) and muscle recession only (n = 2). Results obtained with initial surgery were good in all cases (85.7%) except one. All patients achieved successful postoperative results by their final visit. Our study results suggest that surgery for sensory strabismus achieves good cosmetic appearance.
