[Eye position and function following late surgical correction of consecutive strabismus following primary tenotomy].
Even in patients with consecutive strabismus who had a partial or total tenotomy 10 to 50 years ago, reoperation is worthwhile. In 73% of the author's cases the squint angle was reduced to between -5% degrees and +5 degrees postoperatively; adduction or abduction were improved or normalized in 66%, convergence in 20%. In 29% simultaneous vision on a normal or slightly abnormal basis was achieved. Following dissection of scars and adhesions the tonotomied muscle was advanced and in some cases resected. If the squint angle was large, the antagonist was also recessed. In addition to preoperative diagnosis, which included prolonged compensation with prisms, the indication was affected by intraoperative findings.
