Abstract Aim of the work To detect the changes in the axial length, corneal curvature and refractive changes after strabismus surgery. Conclusions 1- There was no significant change in the axial length of the globe after strabismus surgery. 2- There was significant reduction of horizontal keratometric reading at 1.2 and 3 months postoperatively in patients underwents combined recession/ resection procedure & persist after 3 months but never exceed 0.67 dioptre. 3- There was a significant reduction of about 0.5 dioptre in vertical keratometric readings at 3 months postoperative in patients underwent recession procedure only. 4- There was a significant hyperopic shift of the spherical equivalent at 2 months postoperatively in patients underwent combined procedures. 5- There was a significant myopic shift but never exceed 0.5 dioptre of meridional equivalent at 90° at 1& 3 months postoperatively in patients underwent combined procedure and similar myopic shift at 2 months postoperatively in patients underwent recession only. 6- There was a significant hyperopic shift but never exceed 0.3 dioptre of meridional equivalent at 180° at 1,2 and 3 months postoperatively in patients underwent combined procedure. Although the axial length changes were non significant in this work yet we came a cross a significant change in refraction which call for a change of glasses or prescribing a new one. |
