Our experience with the use of topical anesthesia and adjustable sutures in a one‐stage operation for treatment of strabismus is discussed, and selected cases are presented. In addition to using the method in recession, we have also developed a method for using adjustable sutures in resection of muscles. We have also found the method useful in reoperations and in operations on paretic muscles.
