Each patient will be subjected to Detailed history and Full preoperative ophthalmic & orthoptic evaluation including: Visual acuity , ocular motility in the 6 cardinal directions, Hirschberg test & angle of deviation.
,Cover test & prism cover test for distant & near fixation,Cycloplegic refraction , Anterior segment examination, fundus examination.
_ post operative Follow-up regimen:
-
Children will be examined after surgery on: 1st postoperative day, 1st week, 1st month, 3rd month, and 6 months postoperatively.
-
The following will be recorded for each patient: Visual acuity, cover test, ocular motility testing, cover test and prism cover test, the degree of postoperative eye position, presence of over-correction or under-correction, and presence of any other complications.
