Assessing eye movement changes after strabismus surgery
Changes in Range of Ocular Motility Following Horizontal Rectus Muscle Surgery in Concomitant Strabismus; a Quantitate Measurements Using Lees Screen
NA · Minia University · NCT04213053
This study tests how strabismus surgery affects eye movements in people with crossed or turned eyes to see if it improves their vision and muscle function.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effects of strabismus surgery on ocular motility by conducting preoperative and postoperative Lees screen assessments in patients with concomitant esotropia and exotropia. The goal is to identify any limitations in the field of the operated muscle and to record changes in muscle function. By analyzing the results, the study aims to improve surgical outcomes and patient care in strabismus management.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients over 10 years old diagnosed with concomitant esotropia or exotropia.
Not a fit: Patients with restrictive or paralytic strabismus, those who have previously undergone strabismus surgery, or individuals with mental disabilities may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of surgical impacts on eye movement, leading to better treatment strategies for strabismus patients.
How similar studies have performed: While there may be existing studies on strabismus surgery, this specific approach using the Lees screen for assessing ocular motility changes is relatively novel.
