A Conjunctival Retractor during Strabismus Surgery

ABSTRACT

The use of a conjunctival retractor that expands a small incision in the conjunctiva/Tenon’s capsule facilitated the performance of strabismus surgery through a fornix incision. A wide field of exposure revealed the entire area of the muscle insertion. While there is a risk of conjunctival tearing in elderly patients, the use of the retractor is valuable.
