Functional Benefits of Sensory and Motor Evaluation Before Strabismus Surgery

Abstract

Evaluating the sensory and motor status of your strabismus patient is an important part of the preoperative examination. However, not all clinicians follow the same protocol for this assessment. Many rely on personal experience to determine what tests to do. Is this enough? Interpreting the evidence regarding the proper preoperative exam for strabismus patients and incorporating it into your practice can help to enhance your postoperative results.
