Original Research
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.
