MR Adduction - -
LR Abduction - -
Blood supply – Ophthalmic artery
MR – 6 mm , LR – 15 mm , SR-8.4mm, IR-9mm
Rotational force = m × F
General goals of strabismus surgery
To restore binocular vision
To improve ocular alignment
To enlarge the field of single binocular vision
To alleviate an abnormal head posture
To improve the aesthetic appearance of patient
Anesthesia – GA
- LA in adults – Sub tenon’s is preferred.

ANATOMICAL CONSIDERATIONS – GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Fornix approach
- Preferred for surgery of oblique muscles
- Made at a point 8- 9 mm from the limbus
Advantages
- Access to more number of muscles at a time
-More patient comfort
-Less scarring
-Ease of construction and closure
Indications-
- DVD
- Thyroid myopathy
-Congenital fibrosis
For exotropia,
A-Pattern : Both LR ……Lower end > upper end
V –Pattern : Both LR …….Upper end > Lower end
7.MARGINALMYOTOMY
Principle -Several cuts are made
alternatively at the two borders of
the muscle.
Conjunctiva is re-apposed
2. ADVANCEMENT
Principle- The muscle is re-inserted closer to
limbus , thus making it more taut - increases arc of
contact
Indications
- It is the ideal choice in a squint where recession has
been done earlier
- In paralytic squint , advancement may be combined
with resection
3. DOUBLE BREASTING OR TUCKING
Principle -It shortens the muscle by folding the muscle and
suturing the folded muscle to muscle.
A large posterior
dissection is needed to
separate it from the
intermuscular septum
and check ligaments
JENSEN ‘S PROCEDURE
Indications – Lateral rectus palsy
Indications –
- Lateral rectus palsy
- Lost medial rectus muscle
1)Callahan ‘s procedure –
Modification of jensen ‘s procedure used for elevator palsy.
Indications –
1)Superior oblique palsy (Ipsilateral IO)
2)V – pattern with IO overaction (Both eyes IO)
3) Double elevator palsy (Contralateral IO)
4)Dissociated Vertical deviation
Four Procedures
1)Inferior oblique Recession
2)Anterior transposition with graded recession
3)Extirpation-denervation
4)Inferior oblique myectomy
1)Inferior oblique recession - is of 2 types
- Fink ‘s method - Produces only slackening
- Park ‘s method –
Produces slackening plus mild anterior transpositioning
The IO is inserted at a point 2mm lateral and 3 mm posterior
to lateral end of IR insertion
2)Graded recession - Anterior transposition
Recommended by Kenneth Wright for IO overaction
The basis is that the more anterior the IO insertion , the
greater the weakening effect
Overaction I .O Placement
+1 4mm posterior and 2 mm lateral to IR insertion
A temporo-conjunctival incision
is made and reflected nasally –
This helps in many ways
It is of 2 types
-1)Fell’s modificied Disinsertion technique – anterior fibres are
disinserted and moved anteriorly and laterally
-2)Classic Harada –Ito – here the fibres are looped with a suture
and displaced laterally
2. Superior Oblique tendon tuck
Indications –Usually done for congenital superior oblique palsy
Also for traumatic superior oblique palsy
Management
- Find the muscle and surgically advance it to anterior
sclera
- If not retrieved , then a transposition procedure must
be performed – Hummelsheims for MR.
ANTERIOR SEGMENT ISCHEMIA
-Rare , but serious complication
