Abstract
PURPOSE: To detect macular changes after inferior oblique muscle myectomy and anterior transposition by the use of 3-dimensional optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS: Patients who received surgery for correction of horizontal strabismus and weakening of inferior oblique muscle overaction were included. OCT was performed shortly before surgery and again 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month postoperatively. RESULTS: A total of 23 eyes of 16 patients were included. OCT showed no significant macular changes after inferior oblique myectomy or anterior transposition. CONCLUSIONS: We documented no harmful effects on the macula after manipulation of the inferior oblique muscle during standard weakening procedures.
