Purpose: To evaluate the simplified intraoperative adjustable suture technique for horizontal strabismus surgery.
Methods: Data charts of all patients who underwent horizontal strabismus surgery by the simplified intraoperative adjustable suture technique at the Strabismus Department of the "Hospital das Clínicas" of the University of São Paulo in the period from January 2001 to November 2005 were evaluated retrospectively. Using this technique, the adjustment was calculated based on the corneal light reflection, having considered the difference between the measures in the awake state and with the anesthetized patient.
