title: [Exploration of using microscope in strabismus surgery in China].
abstract: The opening of time of microsurgery by introduction of operation microscope into ophthalmic surgery rendered the coming of a new era of modern cataract surgery and vitreous surgery. However, after this time goes through half a century, telescopic loupes are still been advocated by most surgeons internationally. Is microsurgery a patent only for use in intraocular operations? Although an earliest exploration of using microscope in strabismus surgery in China was reported in the 90 s that discussed the technique of rectus ciliary vessel separation under microscope, no more followed after that. Since this century, some experts often as intraocular surgeons and some young doctors with background of microscopic training continued persistence in the exploration of microscopic strabismus surgery. During this process, the council of strabismus and pediatric ophthalmology of COS has been engaged in guiding its healthy development, unearthing its value in strabismus surgery and pursuing the raise of operation quality. This issue was hotly communicated and discussed at the 14 th national meeting of strabismus and pediatric ophthalmology held in Jinan in June, 2011. This article summarized the goal and the importance of microscopic strabismus surgery and suggested the measures for the healthy development of microscopic strabismus surgery according to the current status.
