Effect of refractive surgery on ocular alignment and binocular vision in patients with manifest or intermittent strabismus

Seventeen eyes of 10 strabismic patients underwent refractive surgery. Five patients were myopic, 2 hyperopic and 3 anisometropic. Two patients had an esotropia and 5 had a manifest exotropia, 3 of them with a vertical deviation. Two patients had an intermittent exotropia with good binocular vision. One patient had a pure vertical deviation with DVD. The dominant eye was operated first in all patients of whom both eyes underwent surgery.
