Abstract:   (3754 Views)
Adjustable suture in strabismus surgery is a way to get accurate alignment of the eyes after operation. This technique is used in cooperative patients, being either adults or children. We report the result of this technique in 120 patients, 70 with esotropia and 50 exotropia. The amount of deviation was between 20 and 60 prismdiopters. The patients were mostly adults and teenagers. and the youngest patient was 10 years old. Post-adjustment deviation was less than 15 prism diopters in almost all cases. After 2 to 3 years of follow-up, no patient needed reoperation.
