Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate the outcomes of a simplified, fixed surgical dosage calculation for uncomplicated, horizontal, concomitant strabismus in adults.

Design

Retrospective interventional case series.

Methods

Outcomes analysis of a fixed surgical dosage in adults (≥18 years) wherein 1 mm recession/resection equals 2 PD for LR and 3 PD for MR.

Results

Mean age of patients, preoperative deviation, expected correction and correction achieved were 28.50 ± 8.43 years, 35.16 ± 9.97 PD, 36.26 ± 9.49 PD, 35.92 ± 10.74 PD respectively. Thirty five out of 38 patients (92.10%) had successful outcome as per our criteria of less than 10 PD deviations from straight in primary position. No statistically significant difference between expected correction and correction achieved (P value = 0.519).

Conclusion

This simplified, fixed, surgical dosage calculation would help numerous novice strabismus surgeons, make their starting steps easier and give them the confidence to do strabismus surgeries.
