ABSTRACT
Extraocular muscle movement during strabismus surgery causes changes in eyeball shape. Because extraocular muscle insertion is in front of the equator, it is thought that changes due to strabismus surgery mainly occur in the anterior segment. However, changes in the posterior segment of eye may also occur, which may also result in changes in refractive error after strabismus surgery. Using a 3-dimensional reconstruction technique (en face imaging) of the swept source optical coherence tomography, we determined and quantitatively measured the posterior polar change. The deepest interface between Bruch's membrane and the choroid could be identified as the deepest point of the eyeball (DPE), and the location of the DPE relative to the optic disc and the fovea was measured. After lateral rectus muscle recession, the DPE moved away from the fovea, but after medial rectus muscle recession, the DPE moved toward the fovea. The amount of DPE movement differed by age and preoperative refractive error. Our findings suggest that the positional shift of the rectus muscle in horizontal strabismus surgery causes a structural change in the posterior segment of the eye, and the postoperative refractive changes may be related to this shift.
