Strabismus, is one of the most common ocular problems in children.It can be treated with conservative therapy such as glasses, prisms,patching and/or orthoptic exercises, with a majority of the caseseventually requiring correction with eye muscle surgery. Thebenefits of surgical correction include elimination of diplopia,restoration of binocular single vision, and improvement ofcosmesis and psychosocial status. However, some reports in thepast two decades have indicated the possibility of good surgicaloutcomes, and significant improvements of central and peripheralbinocular visual function even in adult patients. The aim of thispresent study is to determine the prevalence of squinted eyes withprevious squint surgery in patients attend the squint outpatientclinic.
