Abstract

Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical treatment of concomitant strabismus in adult patients on an outpatient basis. Methods. 73 patients (73 eyes) with a diagnosis of concomitant strabismus without a paralytic component, aged from 19 to 62 years, were under observation. All patients underwent surgical treatment of strabismus for cosmetic purposes. Results. A decrease in the deviation angle was achieved in all patients. The state of orthotropy was obtained in 58 (79.5 %) patients. Conclusions. Surgical treatment of strabismus makes it possible to achieve the correct position of the eyeballs and a good cosmetic effect in 80 % of cases with a one-stage intervention and 94.5 % with a phased surgical treatment. Observation of patients in the long term (3 years) revealed a fairly persistent cosmetic effect of the intervention. Key words: strabismus in adults; strabismus surgery.
