Abstract
The results of surgery after 4 years' or more postoperative follow-up have been evaluated in a total of 1031 cases (575 esotropia, 456 exotropia). There is a difference in the angle of strabismus 1 month after surgery and 4 years after surgery. Based on these findings, the results of strabismus surgery must be evaluated after a sufficient amount of time has passed. The angle of strabismus to be aimed at, to provide best binocular vision and patient satisfaction, should be in the range of −2 +7 degree for esotropia and +2 −10 degree for exotropia, regardless of the patient's age at surgery.Keywords
