PurposeMethodResultsConclusionThis study compared fibrin glue (FG), buried suture knot (BSK), and exposed suture knot (ESK) for conjunctival closure in bilateral symmetrical squint surgery through fornix incision.This study enrolled patients over 10-years age undergoing bilateral, symmetric strabismus surgery. Pre-operative anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) and slit-lamp photography were performed on the pre-determined surgical quadrant. All the patients underwent strabismus surgery using a fornix incision. Eyes were randomized using a block design to one of the 3 conjunctival closure groups. Conjunctival closure time was recorded. Post-operative assessments were conducted at 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, and 6 weeks. These assessments included: patient-reported pain, foreign body sensation (FB), itching, watering. Clinical signs of conjunctival hyperemia, discharge, and chemosis were assessed using a standardized scale. ASOCT and slit-lamp photography of the surgical site were done at each post-operative visit. Conjunctival thickness was measured from ASOCT images. Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS 23.0 version. Variables with p value |
