Abstract:
Strabismus surgery may be responsible for some restrictions in ocular motility that may cause new problems after surgery. Most of the time these restrictions present as a complex motility problem after surgery that requires further treatment. There may be various reasons that cause motility restriction following strabismus surgery. Those are excessive shortening or inadvertent capture of extraocular muscles, transposition procedures and, the most challenging problem, postoperative scar tissue-adhesion formation. In this review the potential reasons for postoperative restrictive problems, preventive measures and finally the treatment options for such problems are overviewed.
