Abstract
Several reports have documented small changes in refractive error after strabismus surgery. 1 Preslan M.W. Cioffi G. Min Y.I. Refractive changes following strabismus surgery. J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 1992; 29: 300-304 PubMed Google Scholar , 2 Thomson W.E. Reinecke R.D. The changes in refractive status following routine strabismus surgery. J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 1980; 17: 372-374 PubMed Google Scholar In the case reported here, a patient experienced more than 4 diopters' increase in with-the-rule astigmatism after an uncomplicated single vertical rectus muscle recession. The astigmatic error persisted for 3 months before it resolved. Large changes in refractive error after strabismus surgery are uncommon but may occur.
