Sustained increases in intraocular pressure during strabismus surgery.
We measured intraoperative intraocular pressure in nine eyes of six patients, 34 to 55 years old, undergoing rectus muscle recession or resections and found sustained intraocular pressures of 77 to 84 mm Hg in the five eyes (three patients) affected by thyroid ophthalmopathy. Smaller increases were noted in the four eyes without muscle restrictions.
