Integrated Intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography in Strabismus Surgery

Dev Ophthalmol. 2021:61:27-31. doi: 10.1159/000511819. Epub 2021 Feb 16.

Abstract

The advent of integrated intraoperative ocular coherence tomography (i2OCT) has opened the door for safer more complex surgeries of the retina and cornea. However, to limit its use to just two subspecialties within ophthalmology is an opportunity lost for many other subspecialties. Here, we describe the use of i2OCT in strabismus surgery. It can be used to identify extraocular muscles, especially in cases of strabismus reoperations, thereby augmenting the surgical technique. Its use to help train strabismus surgery is invaluable, allowing the trainee to understand the depth of the scleral pass during strabismus surgery. The authors describe these scenarios of training and augmenting the surgical technique.
