Abstract
We prospectively investigated the changes in corneal and conjunctival sensitivity, tear film stability, and tear secretion after strabismus surgery. Corneal and conjunctival sensitivity test with Cochet-bonnet esthesiometer, tear film break-up time measurement, and schirmer test were performed prospectively (before operation, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after operation) in 83 patients (124 eyes) who underwent strabismus surgery in our institution. There were no significant changes in corneal sensitivity, tear film stability, and tear secretion after strabismus surgery (p 0.05). Conjunctival sensitivity decreased significantly after strabismus surgery (p 0.05). The discomfort and dryness after strabismus surgery does not seem to be related with changes in corneal sensitivity, tear film stability, and tear secretion.
