Clinical Role of Swept Source Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Strabismus Re-Operation with Lost Surgical Details

Background To characterize the diagnostic role of swept source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (SS-ASOCT) in strabismus re-operations with lost surgical details. Methods Patients presenting to our outpatient services for strabismus care from February 2020 to March 15th 2021 were systematically evaluated. Those willing to undergo re-operation were included in the study. A total of 30 patients were identified and out of this a total of 10 eyes of 10 patients with lost surgical details were finally included in the study. Demographic details, preoperative deviation, ocular findings, orthoptic measurements, detailed SS-ASOCT findings, intraoperative measurements, and post-operative outcomes were recorded. Results The mean age of 10 patients was 23.7±5.75 years. Seven were male and three were female. The mean pre-operative SS-ASOCT measured distance from angle to insertion was 8.90±1.85 mm and the mean intraoperative distance was 9.12±2.14 mm. A mean difference of 0.21±1.31 mm was noted, and this difference was statistically insignificant (paired t test, p = 0.57). In addition, SS-ASOCT unraveled novel signs to differentiate operated eyes from the un-operated eyes, and recessed muscle from the resected muscle. Conclusion In strabismus re-operation with lost surgical details, the pre-operative SS-ASOCT can provide reliable muscle details with respect to its type of surgery and amount surgery.
