title: Long-term results after strabismus surgery in convergent strabismus.
abstract: The results of surgery in 714 patients with convergent strabismus from a private practice are presented. In 90.2% one operation was enough. The minimum follow-up is 3 years, the average follow-up is 9.2 years. The age of onset of strabismus and the binocular status are the key factors for prognosis. The first factor cannot be influenced through therapy, the second can be. The pre- and postoperative treatment is of utmost importance on the sensory result and on the surgery itself.
