Abstract
To date most surgeons operate only on the nonamblyopic eye in patients with strabismus and amblyopia with unpredictable, initial, surgical results. We present a series of 13 patients with amblyopia and strabismus plus anomalous head positions who underwent surgery on their nonamblyopic eye. The good, initial, surgical results in 77% of these patients suggest that operating on the good eye is important to dictate the final surgical results in correcting the deviation and normalizing the head position.
