Anterior Segment and Ocular Surface Complications of Strabismus Surgery

Abstract

Complications involving the anterior segment and ocular surface can vary from mild, inconvenient, and self-limiting to serious and vision threatening. This chapter will highlight common and uncommon problems that can be encountered during and after strabismus surgery and will review methods to both prevent complications and treat complications that do occur. The chapter is organized anatomically, with a section on corneal complications, conjunctival complications, scleral complications, and intraocular complications. Anterior segment ischemia is discussed separately in Chap. 20.
