ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Purpose: We aimed to investigate surgical treatment of convergent strabismus fixus patients who have acquired high myopia and its efficiency. Materials & Method: Files of nine high myopia patients with strabismus fixus, operated and followed-up in our hospital, were retrospectively investigated. Findings: The patients were between 32-63 years old and were followed up 1-12 months. Deviations in all patients were more than 45° Hirschberg. Excessive recession for two eyes’ medial rectus of all the patients (11-13 mm), excessive resection of lateral rectus in five patients (10 mm), Jensen procedure to one patient between superior and lateral rectus behind the equator and tucking surgery to three patients were performed. Adjustable recession to inferior rectus was carried out with second operation to three patients and with first operation to four patients. Result & Conclusion: Excessive horizontal muscle and/or Jensen is surgery not always adequate at that patients and inferior rectus surgery may be necessary.
