Corneal Topographic Changes Following Strabismus Surgery in Gravesʼ Disease

A computerized topographic analysis system was used to evaluate corneal changes after strabismus surgery in eight eyes of five patients with Gravesʼ disease. All patients underwent inferior rectus muscle recession; three eyes also had medial rectus recession. Corneal topographic analysis revealed th...

Zusammenfassung:	A computerized topographic analysis system was used to evaluate corneal changes after strabismus surgery in eight eyes of five patients with Gravesʼ disease. All patients underwent inferior rectus muscle recession; three eyes also had medial rectus recession. Corneal topographic analysis revealed that, postoperatively, corneas steepened inferiorly and inferotemporally at 1.5 mm from corneal apex (p
