Abstract

Strabismus surgery has been changing with the times, new techniques have proved effective. Newer inferior oblique weakening procedures are anterior transposition of the inferior oblique (IO) muscle and have been widely used for the treatment of increased adduction. Anterior and nasal transposition (ANT) procedure, ANT of the IO muscles may be an effective procedure to weaken and reverse the action of the IO muscle when other IO muscle weakening procedures fail. Surgical treatment of third nerve palsy, sensory exotropia and strabismus secondary to anomalous innervations of the rectus muscles, frequently requires large rectus muscle recessions in an attempt to maintain alignment in the primary position and reduce the effects of misinnervation. Periosteal anchoring of lateral rectus is common now days. Vertical rectus transposition (VRT) surgery for the treatment of paralytic strabismus is also done. VRT results in excellent alignment in the primary position and restores a useful binocular visual field of about 50% of normal. Periosteal fixation of the globe third nerve palsy is also very useful.
