Risk factors for further surgery in consecutive ET
Reviewed by Fiona Rowe

The preoperative and postoperative factors around first surgery for exotropia were investigated for predicting second surgery for consecutive esotropia. Fifty-two patients with consecutive esotropia after exotropia surgery were reviewed: 17 required surgery for the esotropia and 35 did not. There was no significant intergroup difference for age at diagnosis, age at first surgery, preoperative exo deviation, refractive error, rate of lateral incomitance or strabismus deviation at one day, three months and six months postoperative. However, amounts of eso deviation at one month postoperative were higher in those requiring surgery.
