    Intraocular pressure (IOP) significantly decreased during strabismus surgery, returning to baseline levels quickly. Globe massage intensity may explain these IOP changes in patients undergoing eye muscle surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Intraocular Pressure Dynamics

    Background:

    • Strabismus surgery involves manipulating eye muscles, potentially affecting intraocular pressure (IOP).
    • Understanding IOP fluctuations during surgery is crucial for patient safety and surgical planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dynamic changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) during strabismus surgery.
    • To identify factors influencing IOP variations in patients undergoing strabismus correction.

    Main Methods:

    • Observational study involving 40 patients undergoing strabismus surgery.
    • Continuous or frequent monitoring of intraocular pressure (IOP) throughout the surgical procedure.
    • Data collection on surgical variables including type of surgery, muscles operated, duration, anesthesia, and patient age.

    Main Results:

    • A marked decrease in IOP was observed in most patients (37 eyes) during surgery.
    • IOP rapidly returned to pre-operative levels following the decrease.
    • In bilateral surgeries, IOP in the first operated eye normalized before the second eye's surgery concluded.
    • No significant correlation was found between IOP changes and surgical type, muscles, duration, anesthesia, or patient age.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraocular pressure (IOP) demonstrates a consistent decrease during strabismus surgery.
    • The intensity of globe massage during surgery is hypothesized as the primary factor influencing IOP reduction.
    • Further research is warranted to confirm the mechanism behind IOP changes and their clinical implications.
