Abstract

The study included 12 children. The children’s age was 10–17 years. Children have complained about developed reverse strabismus after operations performed for concomitant strabismus. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) of the anterior segment of the eye was performed to estimate the topography of previously operated extraocular muscles and plan subsequent surgical treatment. UBM with a frequency of 50 MHz makes it possible to accurately measure the distance from the limbus to the attachment point to the sclera of the horizontal rectus oculomotor muscle after a previous intervention. In cases the details of the previous operation are not available, the information provided by UBM may be useful in determining the surgical tactics.
