Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of inferior rectus muscle test

Design: Case series

Participants: Eleven patients with restrictive vertical diplopia due to thyroid ophthalmopathy underwent inferior rectus recession and were followed for a minimum of 3 months after initial surgery

Intervention: All eleven patients underwent unilateral inferior rectus recession which using force duction test grading to determine surgical dose from 2021 to 2022 in Rajavithi hospital Main Outcome Measures: Post-operative alignment less than 10 PD and the absence of vision-threatening complications related to strabismus surgery is considered successful

Result: nine out of eleven patients (81.1%) achieved acceptable alignment with no vision-threatening complications

Conclusion: Surgical dose determined by force duction test grading alone gave satisfying success rate and may be a useful alternative in some patients who cannot tolerate adjustable-sutured method; however, further studies should be performed
