Purpose: To report long-term outcomes of strabismus surgery for treatment of third nerve palsy.
Methods: We performed a 15-year retrospective study of patients who had undergone surgery. We analyzed preoperative mean deviation (at 6 months, 1 year after surgery, and at the end of follow-up), type of surgery, and factors predicting outcomes.
