PURPOSE To detect macular changes after inferior oblique muscle myectomy and anterior transposition by the use of 3-dimensional optical coherence tomography (OCT).
METHODS Patients who received surgery for correction of horizontal strabismus and weakening of inferior oblique muscle overaction were included. OCT was performed shortly before surgery and again 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month postoperatively.
RESULTS A total of 23 eyes of 16 patients were included. OCT showed no significant macular changes after inferior oblique myectomy or anterior transposition.
CONCLUSIONS We documented no harmful effects on the macula after manipulation of the inferior oblique muscle during standard weakening procedures. (J AAPOS 2011;15:334-337)
