Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Inferior oblique muscle overaction can cause strabismus.
  • Existing recession techniques may be complex or invasive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel, simple, and rapid technique for inferior oblique recession.

Main Methods:

  • A peripheral radial conjunctival incision provides muscle access.
  • The inferior oblique muscle insertion is identified and detached under direct vision.
  • Reattachment is performed posterior and lateral to the inferior rectus insertion.

Main Results:

  • The technique allows direct muscle visualization throughout the procedure.
  • Bleeding and tissue manipulation are minimized, reducing scarring risk.
