The Use of Amniotic Membrane in the Management of Strabismus Reoperation Cases

Reoperation may be expected in at least 5-10% of patients who undergo strabismus surgery, despite the most meticulous efforts to perform a careful preoperative evaluation and determine appropriate surgical strategy [1]. Common reoperation scenarios include under correction, overcorrection, slipped or lost muscles, restrictions after a prior ophthalmic surgical procedure and the development of a new surgical problem. Restrictions usually develop after excessive resections, intra conal fat violation or scar tissue formations which result in postoperative adhesions [2].
