“…Macular thickness alterations are also observed after the strabismus surgery. Mintz et al found an increase in macular thickness after strabismus surgery due to the mechanical effect of the new arrangement of extraocular muscles, postoperative inflammation, and the alteration in the blood-retinal barrier [34]. Similar to the findings in the literature, macula thickness was usually reported to be increased after extraocular surgeries such as both blepharoplasty and strabismus.…”

Purpose. To compare perioperative visual field (VF), balance functions (BF), and changes in the other ocular parameters in patients undergoing upper eyelid dermatochalasis (DC) surgery. Methods. One hundred and fifty-eight eyes of 79 patients who underwent DC surgery were included in the study. The VF, BF, intraocular pressure (IOP), pachymetry (PM), macular, and optic nerve measurements were recorded. Measurements were repeated at postoperative month 1. The preoperative and postoperative ocular measurements and the balance data were compared. Results. Nineteen of 79 (24.05%) patients were male and 60 of 79 (75.95%) were female, while the mean age of the patients was 58.65 ± 7.38 years. There were statistically significant differences in terms of VF and macular thickness between the preoperative and postoperative values. The improvements in mean defect, standard loss variance, and mean sensitivity values of global VF parameters in both eyes were statistically significant after surgery. Central macular thickness, mean macular thickness, and macular volume decreased significantly in all eyes after surgery (p<0.05). Conclusions. Although a marked improvement was observed in VF and peripheral vision after surgery, no significant change was found in BF parameters including primarily falling risk. The significant change in the macular parameters was only remarkable, and we think that the decrease was due to subtle vasospasm. There is a need for further comprehensive studies including especially patients older than 65 with a view to understanding the effect of DC surgery on BF.

“…Strabismus surgery is one of the most commonly performed ophthalmic surgeries and has a significant impact on patients' quality of life. Recently, subclinical foveal and perifoveal macular thickening following extraocular muscle surgery have been reported (7). Because the retina and choroid are adjacent anatomical structures, we may expect a similar relationship between strabismus surgery and CT.…”

Şaşılık cerrahisinin subfoveal koroid kalınlığı üzerine etkilerini araştırmak. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Şaşılık cerrahisi geçiren hastaların subfoveal koroid kalınlık (KK) ölçümleri optik koherens tomografi (EDI-OCT) ile elde edildi. Hastalar 1 rektus kas cerrahisi geçirenler (superior; inferior; medial ya da lateral; ve rezeksiyon veya geriletme) (Grup 1) ve inferior oblik kas cerrahisi geçirenler (miyektomi) (Grup 2) olarak sınıflandı. Hastaların preoperatif, postoperatif ilk gün ve postoperatif 1. hafta KK ölçümleri kaydedildi.

Background To explore the retinal microvasculature in large-angle concomitant exotropia patients with abnormal binocular vision using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) analysis. Methods OCTA images of 52 healthy and 100 strabismic eyes were analyzed to quantify the retinal thickness (RT), superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), and foveal avascular zone (FAZ). Paired t-tests were performed to compare differences between the two groups, the dominant eye and the deviated eye in the exotropia group, respectively. A p-value < 0.01 was considered significant. Results The mean angle of deviation was 79.38 [± 25.64] (prism diopters, PD). There were significant differences in the DCP in deviated eyes between the exotropia group and the control group (fovea: p = 0.007; temporal: p = 0.014; nasal: p = 0.028; inferior: p = 0.013). The temporal SCP in the exotropia group was significantly higher than in the control group in deviated eyes (p = 0.020). No significant difference was found between dominant eyes and strabismic eyes (p > 0.01). Conclusions The study showed that OCTA revealed subnormal DCP in patients with large-angle exotropia and abnormal binocularity which may be related to retinal suppression. Changes in the macular microvasculature may provide valuable insights into the development of strabismus. Further studies are needed to determine the clinical relevance of this finding.
