“…Most of these operations are performed by weakening or strengthening of extraocular muscles, which are planned according to the type and the amount of deviations. A known complication of strabismus surgery is the alteration of ocular refractive status [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. It is very important to be aware of such postoperative refractive changes mainly in children, who are prone to amblyopia and recurrence of deviation.…”

“…Despite the fact that to our knowledge no recent studies have tackled the same variables, our hypothesis was inspired based on older studies which stated that, after strabismus surgery, corneal topographic changes were likely to occur [8,9,15]. In other studies, transient corneal topographic changes were found to occur after sutureless vitrectomy as well [11,12].…”

“…A influência na refração de cirurgia nos músculos extraoculares não está bem compreendida, havendo poucos relatos e freqüentemente contraditórios (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8) . Entretanto, há estudos conclusivos acerca da influência da ressecção de pterígio e da cirurgia vítreo-retiniana na curvatura da córnea (15)(16)(17) .…”

“…Para Schworm et al (7) não houve alteração na refração e as poucas alterações topográficas foram transitórias e se deram no sentido do abaulamento no meridiano do músculo retrocedido e do aplanamento no meridiano do músculo ressecado. Hainsworth (8) sugeriram que há pequena alteração topográfica após cirurgia de estrabismo, mas não ocorre no quadrante adjacente ao músculo operado.…”
