Postoperative outcome and influencing factors of strabismus surgery in infants aged 1–6 years

Purpose To evaluate the postoperative outcome of strabismus surgery performed in children aged 1–6 years by investigating the change of the preoperative angle of deviation (AOD), elevation in adduction, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and refractive error. Methods Retrospective chart review of 6...

Description
Summary:Purpose To evaluate the postoperative outcome of strabismus surgery performed in children aged 1–6 years by investigating the change of the preoperative angle of deviation (AOD), elevation in adduction, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and refractive error. Methods Retrospective chart review of 62 children who received strabismus surgery between January 2018 and December 2021 at the Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry of the Medical University of Vienna. Age, sex, type of strabismus, AOD, BCVA, refractive error and visual acuity were evaluated with respect to the postoperative outcome. Results Mean follow-up was 13.55 ± 11.38 months with a mean age of 3.94 ± 1.97 years (range: 1.0–6.0) at time of surgery. 74.19% of patients ( n  = 46) had isolated or combined esotropia, 12.90% ( n  = 8) had isolated or combined exotropia and 12.90% ( n  = 8) had isolated strabismus sursoadductorius. Mean preoperative AOD of 15.69 ± 16.91°/15.02 ± 14.88° (near/distance) decreased to 4.00 ± 9.18°/4.83 ± 7.32° (near/distance) at final follow-up ( p
