Changes in refractive error and axial length after horizontal muscle surgery for strabismus

Purpose To investigate changes in refractive error following horizontal muscle surgery and to analyze the relationship between these changes and axial length. Methods Patients with intermittent exotropia who underwent bilateral lateral rectus recession (LR group) or unilateral lateral rectus recession with medial rectus resection (RR group) were investigated prospectively. The patients were followed for at least 3 months postoperatively;...
