    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Adjustable sutures have been rediscovered, increasing ophthalmic surgeons' confidence in strabismus correction.
    • Strabismus, or eye misalignment, requires precise surgical intervention for optimal visual outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe three distinct methods for utilizing adjustable sutures in strabismus surgery.
    • To provide guidance on the indications for each adjustable suture technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Method 1: Adjustment during general anesthesia using the 'springback' test for eye centralization.
    • Method 2: Adjustment under local anesthesia post-general anesthesia, using patient feedback for positioning.
    • Method 3: Performing both surgery and adjustment under topical local anesthesia in a single procedure.

    Main Results:

    • Detailed descriptions of each of the three adjustable suture techniques are provided.
    • The study discusses the specific indications for applying each technique to particular strabismus problems.

    Conclusions:

    • Adjustable sutures offer ophthalmic surgeons enhanced control and confidence in correcting strabismus.
    • The described techniques provide a versatile approach to strabismus surgery, adaptable to various patient needs and clinical scenarios.
