A novel method for management of conjunctival inclusion cysts following strabismus surgery using isopropyl alcohol with paired injection technique.
Conjunctival inclusion cysts following strabismus surgery are typically treated by surgical excision in a hospital setting. Cysts may be aspirated in the office setting with the aid of a slit lamp, but this approach is associated with recurrence. Thermal cautery and intracyst injection of doxycycline may also be performed in the office. We present 2 cases of conjunctival inclusion cysts treated with isopropyl alcohol injection in an office setting. There was no recurrence at 9 months follow-up.
