Abstract

Authors undertook a quantitative study of the relationship between eye position in the awake state and in the surgical plane of anesthesia in 42 non-paralytic horizontal strabismus patients who were planned to be operated February 1986 through August 1986. The results were as follows: 1. All 42 subjects demonstrated divergence under anesthesia when compared with their pre-anesthesized state. The mean divergence was 15.1 prism diopters. 2. The 33 exotropic subjects had mean divergence of 13.1 prism diopters. 3. The 9 exotropic subjects had mean divergence of 22.7 prism diopters. 4. The more esotropic or less exotropic the preanesthetic position of the eyes were, the more divergent the eyes became under anesthesia.
